1) It's the Clinton Foundation, not Hillary herself. It's a charity organization. One of the Clinton Foundation's donors that is used to generate that stupid list is Gillbert Chagoury, a Lebanese man based in Nigeria. The same donor provided 10 million dollars to St Jude hospital for children's cancer treatments. Are you going to berate St Jude for using the money to save children's lives? To use the actual Clinton Foundation, are you going to berate the Clinton Foundation for taking donations to fund AIDS medications for up to 9 million people in Africa, lowering the drug cost from tens of thousands to mere hundreds? What kind of disgusting person does that?
2) Receiving money FROM someone =/= endorsing that person. You don't choose who donates to you, although often those that donate to you can be interested in what you can offer to them, either directly or indirectly. Foreign officials donating to Hillary Clinton can be merely trying to win diplomatic favor and establish positive disposition. Everyone does it, even countries as a whole. What does the USA have to gain from foreign aid to third world countries? Diplomatic leverage. Duh.
3) Using the "gays are imprisoned" criterion is subjective in itself for many reasons. It doesn't demonstrate any point. What about women's rights? Children's rights? Reproductive rights? Marriage rights? Any rights for that matter? At this rate, the only ones fit for donation are from the East coast of the USA, some Western European countries, and Canada. What kind of xenophobic outlook? The entire point of global transactions and exchanges is to establish bridges, not push those who don't have the exact same culture as ours.
You guys cant be this dumb
Our presence WW attacking their bases, etc. has been an immense success.
