Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bill Clinton ? Bill Clinton knows how to win friends and influence people. The former president is a master of reinvention — and the same talents that guided him into office have propelled him, more recently, into the stratosphere of Internet stardom.
A: Positive
Rationale: Here the author of the document praises Bill for this ability to win friends.
Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Nico LaHood ? Meet  Nico LaHood   district attorney for Bexar County  Texas  home of the mostly Democratic enclave of San Antonio.  LaHood  is now locked in a street brawl of a primary battle against a former friend  Joe Gonzales.
âIâm a conservative guy â  LaHood  told a right-wing radio host last year  as reported by the San Antonio Express-News.
The context was  LaHood  complaining that while  he  was opposed to âsanctuary cities â  he  also didnât want the state government to tell municipalities what to do. âWith all due respect to the governor  how many times have you flipped off the federal government by saying  âHey  screw you  donât tell us how to run Texasâ?... I think itâs a little bit hypocritical now  he âs playing big government and telling us how to run our municipalities.â
On another radio talk show   LaHood  said that Islam is âbasically a political system wrapped in a religion â parroting far-right talking points that have been disproven by all reputable scholars of Islam. Moreover   LaHood  said moderate Muslims are not real Muslims: âI have some very  veryâand I want to emphasize thisâvery good friends that wear the label of a Muslim â  LaHood  said. âBut they donât follow the tenets or the principle of Islam  more importantly Sharia Law  because theyâve been Americanized.â
 LaHood  also went on record opposing âJennyâs Law â which was unanimously passed by the Texas Senate  and provides victims and witnesses of crimes access to an attorney free of charge. It is named for a mentally ill rape victim who was imprisoned for 27 days to ensure she could testify against her rapist. While incarcerated  she was severely beaten.
 LaHood  publicly opposed the law  saying it was ânot practical.â The head of his officeâs criminal trial division was the only person to testify against it in the legislature. And  for good measure   he  hired one of the prosecutors involved in the original âJennyâ case. When these facts were reported   LaHood  wrote a letter attacking the newspaper that reported them.
LaHoodâs conservatism is apparently grounded in his religion. At a town meeting with constituents  he said  âI love Jesus and he loves me  and thatâs why I love you and your family.â A former drug dealer turned born-again Christian   LaHood  has described  himself  as a âman who is passionately in love with the Lord.â
Not all of  his  comments have been quite so Christian  however. At an earlier meeting   he  yelled at a constituent who had challenged whether  he  had held police officers accountable. âWhen I was a district attorney  you can ask any prosecutor I went up against. Ask if I had the huevos to go against anybody and hold them accountable â placing  his  hands in a gesture of said huevos for emphasis.
âAnger motivated me to accomplish things â  LaHood  said in an interview with the Rivard Report  âand I believe God used my anger.â
And then thereâs the anti-vaxxer stuff.  LaHood   whose son has autism  has appeared at anti-vaxxer conferences  using his district attorney title as proof of credibility. And in a promotional video for the anti-vaxxer movie Vaxxed   LaHood  says: âI âm Nico LaHood . I âm  the criminal district attorney in San Antonio  Texas. I âm  here to tell you that vaccines can and do cause autism.â
Asked about his views at the Feb. 8 debate   LaHood  said they were based on âa personal beliefâ based on âwhat my wife and I go through medically.â After  his  son developed autism  âwe have an opinion of how that happened.â
