(854 posts)Get ready to hear all about how the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust is a communist/GOP/misogynist organization that hates freedum.
Alternate Hillarian response: why do you love Trump?
That should cover it.

You missed the second half, though. You should really edit your post so that it ends with an accusation of pro-Trump sympathies on the part of the poster.

(56,582 posts)You predicted a liberal Democrat (I'm a Sanders voter, btw) would get irritated when a piece by a Republican piece of shit is posted on a Democratic website.
Your intuition is truly amazing

This group and Judicial Watch are not impartial critics; on the contrary, they are intensely partisan right wing organizations. I hate to see anti-Democratic material from them uncritically quoted here on DU.

2. Would never change allegiances
3. Are loving watching the slow, painful death of the Sanders campaign
AND
4. Have a new motivation in seeing and working for the relegation to irrelevance of both Sanders and his ideals.

(25,428 posts)They've also lost the ability to view things in context, like the context of the guy who runs FACT being a right-wing loon.

(115,587 posts)More here:
On Friday, Open Secrets uncovered that the same dark-money network funding JCN is behind another group that is working to oppose Merrick Garlands nomination: the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT).
Open Secrets reports that FACT, which styles itself as a right-wing alternative to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), receives all of its funding through Donors Trust, a donor-advised fund that acts as a pass-through vessel for conservative funders, making the source of contributions all but impossible to trace. But Open Secrets found evidence linking FACT to the Corkery family, who are behind a number of conservative groups including JCN. JCN and FACT share a treasurer, Neil Corkery, and FACT has the same front address as a number of Corkery-linked groups.
The executive director of FACT and the sole paid employee listed on its most recent tax filing is Matt Whitaker, a former U.S. Attorney from Iowa who we here at Right Wing Watch remember from his unsuccessful run for his home states Republican Senate nomination in 2014 (it ultimately went to now-Sen. Joni Ernst). When asked at a debate what criteria he would use to determine whether to support or attempt to block President Obamas federal judicial nominees, Whitaker said that he would ask if nominees are people of faith and have a biblical view of justice.

(50,130 posts)This is the kind of attack that HRC is going to face ad nauseum from this day forward.
I have no trouble considering the veracity of what the right has to say about her. Are the charges true? Are they not?
Everyone here has the brainpower to evaluate for themselves.
But Hillaryans better stop hiding their heads in the sand and toughen up.

(50,130 posts)Please review the charges they have made, and tell us why they are true or not true.
This is just the beginning of the onslaught.
