I know the difference between empathy and sympathy !! She also says R-E-S-P-E-C-T the enemy........no way Jose !!Empathy is not sympathy. First get that right. Empathy is understanding why someone does what they do, it does not include agreeing with them. Next, yes, you do have to respect the people holding the gun. They may be evil and crazy but disrespecting a terrorist while negotiating gets you nowhere. It's a rule of negotiations.Respecting your enemies is a Biblical principal but even if you're anti Bible, it's still good policy as a humanitarian. I'm not a Hillary backer by any stretch of the imagination, but I saw this on Huckabee's Facebook page with the same argument. Personally I feel that recently he purposefully uses the fact that a lot of people don't understand the difference between empathy and sympathy and is using that to advance his position politically. It's evil in the highest degree and for him to be a former pastor this is reprehensible. But maybe he doesn't understand the difference either and that brings up a whole different set of problems.
It's odd, given Sanger's many statements on eugenics, that whoever made that garbage you posted would decide to use a fabricated quote.
Where, exactly, in that link, does it say that quote is fake?It's odd, given Sanger's many statements on eugenics, that whoever made that garbage you posted would decide to use a fabricated quote.

You don't know what she did or didn't say at that rally. Do you?Misattributed
- Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated.
- Seems to take words from "a garden of children instead of a disorderly back lot overrun with human weeds" and "we do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea" in order to attribute a racial eliminationist position to Sanger.
What the hell are you going on about? It's a fabricated quote, taking words from two separate sourceable quotes, with the purpose of misleading small minded people. Believe it if you want I couldn't care less.You don't know what she did or didn't say at that rally. Do you?
So why are you saying it's false?
You have proof of this?What the hell are you going on about? It's a fabricated quote, taking words from two separate sourceable quotes, with the purpose of misleading small minded people. Believe it if you want I couldn't care less.
This is TROLL proof. Given by a troll. All you would have needed was a transcript of her speecH that day. Or even a quote from some one who was there.
