Did U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton communicate with the dead spirit of former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt just this week?
So if someone spiritually "talks" to an imaginary deity in the sky that's OK
but if someone spiritually "talks" to an actual person who died, that not OK?

Jus tryin to understand.

An "imaginary" deity? Sounds like the only thing you're trying to understand is how condescending you can be.

Fair point, but it could also be said about the dead person.

If he hadn't used the term "imaginary" the question would still be the same.

True, but if he hadn't used the word imaginary it wouldn't have come off as condescending. You can't poison the well like that and expect to gain the understanding like he claims to want.

Besides this was not a Republican mantra. This business with Hillary talking to a dead Eleanor Roosevelt is something brought out by the Democrats in order to cut off the legs of one of their own.
