A Catholic advocacy group is urging Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign to remove an image of Mother Teresa from a campaign video narrated by former President Bill Clinton.

newsmax.com/archives/ic/2007/5/15/100946.shtml?s=al&promo_code=340F-1

The most effective advocate for killing babies the world has known over the past 15 years uses the image of one of Pro-Life’s greatest advocates for her political advantage. How cynical can one get?

It seems to me some years before she died, Mother Teresa paid the Clintons a visit at the White House when she was in the US touring her many Misssionaries of Charities new places recently opened.

She stood right next to President & Mrs. Clinton clearly speaking for the protection of all life, and the abolition of abortion and its evils. She didn’t mince any words either and was not intimidated nor quiet about her views in the presence of her hosts, the Clintons. To associate her views with Hillary’s is contemptible! More reasons to pray!
 
I heard over Catholic radio there was an add about this on youtube. Has anyone found it? I am having trouble looking for it. I think it is really sad that she made this choice. I feel that sometimes when people are surrounded by evil, there is no right or wrong, only power. They don’t see it. It is a gift from God to see the evil. I hope this next vote for presidency that the candidates represent good and truth. Right now she is not one of them.

There has to be footage of this somewhere. Maybe someone could put it on youtube as well to counter the other.

As I recall it was at a National Prayer Breakfast.
 
That would look a little stupid to most US Catholics. She is really inappropriate in using Mother Teresa in ANYTHING that she puts out in her campaigne. She is a real peace of work.:doh2:
 
Not to sound silly here…

But it’s not like she photo shopped the picture and put herself next to Mother Teresa.

The event occurred, they were next to each other.

I’m not sure what all the hullabaloo is about here.

The event occurred and the two people stood juxtaposed. That isn’t what the political advertisement infers. That’s what the problem is.
 
Of course an event occurred where Mother Theresa and Hillary Clinton stood next to each other.

Other than being pictured together at an international event, these two hardly had common ground.

To take a one time photo op and use it in a campaign ad thereby implying some kind of cohesion is dishonest and shameful. That is what all the hullaboo is about.

Most of politics is nothing more than juxtaposition…

But it’s not as if this is an ad of any type about abortion rights, etc and that Hillary is standing outside of planned parenthood saying she comes “mother T approved” or something.

A reasonable person could hold that both of these women did things for the poor of India…their diametrically opposing views on abortion do not change that fact.
 
Frommi, you can’t honestly be that naive.

“…both of these women did things for the poor of India”

Yes, right…THAT’S the reason Hillary’s using the photo 😉

The quote during the clip is from her husband lauding her for what she did in and around India…it certainly helps politically to have a picture next to someone who no one can take offense at seeing.

Look…Im not dumb…everything about any video put out by a candidate is there for a reason.

I’m simply saying that I think the basic premise here is that no candidate who has expressed a ‘support for abortion rights’ or whatever you want to call it…should use any picture of likeness that shows them with someone who holds a different view.

It just sounds silly…

There’s no intellectual dishonesty being perpetuated on the public here.

Let me see-one woman spent her life working with the poor-the other promotes the slaughter of 1.2 million children a year. but SAYS she cares and in the wacky world of Democrat politics that makes them morally equivalent.

I’m not talking about moral equivalency of anything here…

But, I’m pretty sure Mrs. Clinton has engineered an aid package or two for the poor of the world in her current role.

And spare me the wackiness of saying she ‘promotes slaughter’…that’s rhetoric that does nothing to help the debate.

Again…just because your intrepretation of the use of this photo doesn’t jibe with your beliefs does not compel anyone to stop using it.

No its not wackiness, it is the truth. And it far past the time when we should quit sugarcoating what goes on in abortion mills . Children are cut into little pieces and sucked out of their Mothers womb and then some poor nurse patiently puts the peices back together to mkake sure they havent missed anything. The dead child are thrown out with the garbage

You and Hillary may consider this “choice” IMO if that is not slaughterI dont know what is. And for a woman who proudly supports this to in any way associate herself with Blessed Mother Theresa is reprehensible.
 
Mother Teresa freely met with many people in her life, including those who are pro-choice. She had her picture taken with them, and she solicited donations from them. Was she wrong? If it was OK for her to meet with those folks and have her picture taken, what’s wrong with those folks showing the picture?

When people are pictured next to each other, unless they are obviously not happy with each other, then it is generally assumed they have some kind of solidarity. Showing Hilary Clinton with Mother Teresa is an advertisement to make Hilary appear to be endorsed by a well-known humanitarian and truly devout Catholic (though I don’t think most of the world that Mother Teresa was a woman who gave herself totally in service of the poorest of the poor, because she first gave herself totally to God as a consecrated religious sister).

As I recall, Mother Teresa never solicited donations and strongly forbid anyone to solict them on her behalf.

It sould be better if Hillary also quoten Mother Teresa’s message at the time of that picture taking - re nations that are too poor to afford room for a baby.😦
