Let’s see, I’m “deplorable” because… I’m a firearm owner I’m a strong defender of the 2nd amendment I own some “scary” semiautomatic “weapons of war” And I _WILL NOT_ give them up. I hate _ALL_ religions I believe _illegal_ immagration is a problem, _but_ have no problem with _legal_ immigration I believe laws apply equally to _everyone_, even politicians, break the law, pay the penalty, no special treatment for the rich/famous/well connected. How “deplorable” are you? ---

Don’t know why you’re placing your predilection for firearms into the list of traits she mentioned. > [@Future President Clinton](#): > > Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it. Is it the “You name it” part that makes you feel you get to just put anything in there you want? Let’s add: People who think liver, oysters and/or parsnips are made out of food; people who think a game where pitchers don’t routinely take their turn at bat, yet remain in the game is legitimately called “baseball”; people who think anybody except Adam West was really Batman; people who think there was any point in continuing the Bond franchise after everybody got blowed up at the end of _Casino Royale_ (1966); and people who think it’s acceptable for there to ever again be a Republican President. Let’s start with those. Looks like I’m not deplorable at all! Go, ME! 🙂 🙂 🙂 😛 😛 😛 😃 😃 😃 ---

So do you also identify as “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic…”? I’m guessing yes to at least one, since you are embracing “deplorable.” So which one(s)? ---

I don’t know about “deplorable”, but this thread is pretty stupid. ---

So, based on her list _only_; Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it. Racist? No. Sexist? No. Homophobic? No. Xenophobic? Well, I’m not particularly fond of facehuggers, chestbursters, Xenomorph Warriors/queen etc, but I don’t hate them per se, just keep the facehuggers away… islamaphobic? I hate _ALL_ religions, so I guess you could say yes-ish As far as the 2nd amendment and firearms go, look no further than her history, she’s well known as an antigun politician Oh, forgot one, I’m an NRA member, she _HATES_ us… ---

Well, if the OP didn’t want to be stereotyped as one of Hillary’s deplorables, he shouldn’t have bought a condo in [this building](http://www.businessinsider.com/5-million-basket-building-in-ohio-2016-9). ---

Being a gun owner was never part of the ‘deplorables’ basket, although it is quite possible the NRA is screaming that she said that. ---

So you admit you are not anything she listed as deplorable. Hating muslims more than everyone is Islamaphobia. Hating all religions doesn’t cover it. You are officially not deplorable in Clinton’s eyes. Feel free to get down off that cross at your earliest convenience. ---
