In reply to the discussion: Thank you Thom Hartman for your perspective on the Marissa Johnson diatribe [View all]daredtowork
(3,732 posts)And I've been a staunch supporter of laying off the hyperbole and not making assumptions about certain terms and actions.
The one thing I think is unfair is painting the suspicions about Hillary as "conspiracy theorizing". Her campaign was known for dirty trick during the Obama primary in 2008. It's natural to be suspicions now. She continues to be Bernie's political rival and actively engaging in opposition tactics even while this mess is going on - we don't know how she is or is not exploiting it.
It's just as conspiratorial to regard that Bernie supporters who think Hillary is capable of spending her vast amounts of money on furthering her political interests at Bernie's expense are "setting Bernie up to fail" as it would be for me to suspect George Soros were directly funding Marissa to make Bernie bow down because anti-Semitism.
But if you are going to believe that Bernie supporters are always conspiracy theorists for considering Hillary's interests vis-a-vis BLM, you will have to consider Thom a CT theorist, too. Behold this segment from the same show:
