Wear “anger” with honor

Sen. Clinton Says Wear ‘Anger’ As Honor

Responding to Republican claims that she may be too angry to win national office, Sen.Hillary Rodham Clinton told an audience Monday to wear such criticism as “a badge of honor” and suggested that gender played a role in the attacks.

“When you run as a Democrat, and in particular, when you run as a Democratic woman, whether you’re running at the local, state or national level, it’s likely you’re going to draw some unfriendly fire,” Clinton said at a breakfast fundraiser hosted by black and Hispanic women supporters. “People will be attacking you instead of your ideas, they may impugn your patriotism, they may even say you’re angry.”

She added, “If they do that, wear it as a badge of honor, because you know what? There are lots of things that we should be angry and outraged about these days.” She cited, among other things, the federal budget deficit, lobbying scandals in Washington, and the government’s slow response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

Spot on, Sen. Clinton! I am proud to be angry because I have so many reasons to be angry right now, especially as a woman. Our country is going down in flames and there’s a war waging against women’s rights. Our Constitution is being shit on by the bots in the White House and members of my party are hiding in a corner with their tails between their legs._[1] Our soldiers are dying for oil and our land is up for sale to the highest bidder. What is there not to be angry about?

I think if there were more people on our side getting angry then maybe we’d get a lot more done. Bravo to Sen.Clinton for taking their “insult” and turning into something of which to be proud. Damn right we’re angry, and if you’re not then you’re either getting lots of money from BushCo or living under a rock.
