Are these quotes by Hillary real?
This e-mail is going around. Giving dates isn't exactly references. She sort of said them, but the lines are usually out of context. Like the first one--she said to rich Democrats at a fund raiser. Check all the quotes at Urban Legends.Always check out the forwarded e-mails you get--most aren't worth passing along, whether on health, immigration, religion or politics. At least google it to find out the origin. The real Hillary is probably much scarier.

They are mostly real, but badly distorted. Substitute "Jesus Christ," "Winston Churchill" and "Abraham Lincoln" as the choices for the multiple choice, and you'll be closer to the context.
Some of the "quotes" are words edited so heavily that they bear no relation to anything Sen. Clinton really said. It's a hoax quiz. Here, go see:

Do you remember where you found it? Probably much else at that site is inaccurate, too.
That's why I listed the Snopes URL--the "taken out of context" part is pretty clear. That's as much research as I did. This has been going around in e-mail. Media Matters does this a lot (not the source, obviously), and regardless of which side does it, it's not nice to mislead people when the truth is probably more useful.
