Hilary Clinton is one of many politicians around the world from all parties and ideologies who are part of the problem, not the solution. The other day she called the Iranian government hypocrites for supporting the Egyptian people in their protests under the excuse "it's an Islamic revolution" then clamping down on Iranian protests in their usual fascist state tried and trusted ways. It turns out that Hillary Clinton does know the word hypocrite after all.
The part that makes this funny in a sad way is that not long ago Hillary Clinton was one of many US politicians calling for Wikileaks to be silenced, shut down, blocked etc and that Jullian Assange should be extradited to face charges in the US, while at the same time proudly promoting World Press Freedom, and that the US like any great democracies should treasure a free press where journalists can publish stories free from intimidation from politicians for example.
Yes there's that concept again, hypocrisy.
As a US politician she feels the duty to lecture other leaders and nations on what freedom is, while being part of a government who don't practice what it preaches. If you want the moral high ground of calling others on hypocrisy, being one yourself totally undermines your case.
