If Hillary (or Trump) say things so despicable that could reasonably get you fired if you weren't repeating a presidential candidate, then we should despise any

If Hillary (or Trump) say things so despicable that could reasonably get you fired if you weren't repeating a presidential candidate, then we should despise anyone who repeats those words or explicitly supports those words.
I'm not currently aware of things that Hillary said that would be considered independently reprehensible if my coworker said them, but if I missed it I'd like to hear it, but if such statements exist I would have no problem saying anyone who repeated such statements should be despised.
If someone says they support some weird tax plan, it also doesn't matter whether some mainstream candidate proposed it, that is simply never grounds for disciplinary action. If someone says that women simply don't belong in the board room, that is grounds for disciplinary regardless of which party candidate said it before you.
- DougN7 10y agoI'm not saying it was you, but folks on HN have defended the rights of people to publish rape fantasy. That, in my opinion, is at least as bad, and probably worse. No one called for them to lose their jobs. The hypocrisy is hard to deal with.
- baddox 10y agoHillary has some views and statements that I find reprehensible, but the contrast with Trump would make most of my complaints seem silly.
- Ar-Curunir 10y agoYes, but Hillary has done some despicable things, like defending a child rapist (and laughing about it).
