Secretary of State Hillary Clinton extolled the virtue of finding common ground to a group of foreign exchange students visiting the State Department Wednesday. Her advice: Avoid cable news. Speaking to a group of 280 high school students, sponsored by her department and hailing from countries with large Muslim populations, Clinton said she hoped they would avoid the lure of the daily shoutfests.

"You've seen our own noisy democracy in action where there's a lot of debating and discussing," said Clinton. "I hope none of you have watched cable news, but you know that it airs conflicting opinions, sometimes diametrically opposed not only to each other, but to any known fact you could possibly find."

This is additional propaganda from Hilary. "Let us tell you what to think and believe, Don't think for your self."

It seems that the Democrats believe that we need them to think for us. We are too dumb, ignorant and stupid to think for ourselves, or they are afraid that when we see the real truth we don't want them.

Send Hilary and the Obama administration out with yesterdays garbage.

Don't watch cable news because they argue? B a good little wife and get back in the kitchen and bake cookies. You're not ready for the real World.

Mrs. Clinton is easily the worst politician and Secretary of State in modern history. Her ham-handed attempt at securing the Presidential nomination will go down in history as arrogance on a par with Obama's, just the white female loser version. Her glaring social missteps in Russia and elsewhere put her in the category of, "I don't really want to be doing this because I believe I should be President." And that cackling laugh...it's rather frightening, it sounds very much like a woman who is just about to fully detach herself from reality. You fawning Hillaryites are remarkably slow on the uptake here. The woman is a loser, a tremendous loser. Her only redeeming feature will be when she reenters the fray in 2012 and challenges the other loser, Barack Hussein Obama.
