FFS!

"In 1995, Hillary Clinton made a groundbreaking speech in Beijing, setting down a challenge to the world: to treat women's rights as human rights. Now twenty years on, with Hillary Clinton poised on the brink of announcing a second attempt at the US presidency, this film asks: has anything really changed for the world's women?

With candid interviews with three of the most powerful women in recent history, Hillary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice and Madeleine Albright, this film investigates the struggles they experienced to make a difference to the rights of half the world's population.

And in Afghanistan, India, Egypt and Liberia, the film also talks to those who dared to take power into their own hands."

Would you mind dressing up as Hillary Clinton and enacting key scenes?

She did once say that women were the biggest victims of war, because their husbands/sons/fathers get maimed and killed. There are plenty of other reasons to dislike her though.

I am willing to back this on kickstarter

Me too, but only if he does it as Monika Lewinsky, and re-enacts certain key scenes.

Hillary Clinton scares me far far more than that Sarah Palin thing ever did, she is nothing but trailer trash, a thug in high heels.

Having said all this, are there any top-flight male politicians who aren't scary and flawed?

Is this the same Hilary Clinton that, through her network of contacts, rigged a load of stock trades, with her investment being back dated and linked to them only after they had rocketed so she become a millionaire/billionaire overnight?  The same Hilary Clinton that went to Africa on a 'Peace' mission, only to have the Chinese outbid her for Africa's natural resources, because they paid more and actually built permanent infrastructure, including schools and medical facilities?  She is worse than a female Blair.  She can get stuffed.  No way I would credit her with even watching her for a few minutes.  Evil cow.  The Cattle Futures controversy defines who she really is and her primal motivations.  How she can lecture anyone with moral authority is beyond me.

You have no idea.  How are they going to buy their Gucci Handbags and Range Rover Evoque's if their fella is dead.  The services widows pension these days is shocking and of they hitch up with their toyboy lover they stand to lose it all.  Fucking inconsiderate men dying in battle, what a load of selfish bastards, they have no idea about sacrifice and loss

Don't forget the 'internet kill switch' she suggested or the retired soldier she had her security detail beat to a pulp for turning his back on her during this speech, which was incidently about free speech, the guy was in his late sixties, and all he did was queitly stand up and turn his turn his back to her during her speech, and she had her security detail put him in hospital.

This isn't really about Hilary Clinton - it's about women in politics trying to get backward countries to see women as equal humans rather than chattels to sell, beat, rape and kill with little consequence.
