VA a national disgrace but Hillary is standing up for you lazy louts:

Hillary Clinton claims VA problems not ‘widespread’ and blames VRWC™ for making it an issue (a Sunday open thread)

Lots going on, so here’s another Sunday open thread, brought to you by BUBBA Burgers, Sam Adams Boston Lager and Happyscrapper.

A few things to kick it off…

A review of health care at Veterans Affairs found “significant and chronic system failures” and a “corrosive culture” contributed to vets dying while waiting for care and delays in treatment all around the country.

Hillary’s take on that? It’s not as big of a deal as some people try to make it:

Democratic primary front-runner Hillary Clinton says the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) scandal is not as “widespread” of a problem as coverage would indicate.

She said the problem is real, but cautioned that “it’s not been as widespread as it has been made out to be” on MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show” on Friday.

Not only is the problem not widespread, but one of the reasons the VA scandal is a big story is because the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy™ has manufactured it:

The former first lady blamed Republicans for using the issue as part of an “ideological agenda” and said they want the VA to “fail.”

I really hope veterans groups keep that excuse in mind in the coming months when she’s trying to pander to them.

If the VA scandal is going to be fully noticed and acknowledged by Hillary they’ll have to start performing abortions first:

“I’m proud to stand with Planned Parenthood, I’ll never stop fighting to protect the ability and right of every woman in this country to make her own health decisions,” Clinton said in a video released Monday.
