RW email going around, "Hildabeast", and what Snopes has to say

[ComerPerro]

Basically its a collection of damaging "quotes" by Hillary herself. Trying to show how evil and disrespectful and hateful she is.

You can find the text of the email and the analysis at the snopes link:

Basically, its standard operating procedure for the right wing. Send out lies with well documented sources. But the problem is, most of the "sources" themselves are complete crap. A lot of the quotes mentioned are either impossible to verify, heresay, or complete fabrications. But that's how their lies get spread.

Rush says something, FReepers jump on it, Drudge picks it up, and pretty soon its a "documented source" in the Wall Street Journal...

This is a very important case study of how the RW spin machine operates.

1. And I wonder why conservatives fear the fairness doctrine

[sharp_stick]

2. That's how they've operated for the last 15 years

I'm kind of surprised that any of their submoronic masses still do it but it must work. It's not hard to work the freepoids into a froth and one of these anti-Clinton lie fests is usually a great catalyst over there.

3. funniest thing is, they prefer the alcoholic, cocaine abusing moron in chief

and Dick "Fuck-off" Cheney over Clintons, because supposedly these two asshats embody the values of the American Conservative.

4. Excuse me. That would be D*ck "Go F*** yourself!" Ch*ney.

[Vexatious Ape]

7. That's right.

Dick go fuck yourself ch*ney who is so mean he once shot a man in Texas.

[ComerPerro]

9. "...but I shot a man in Texas, cause I thought he was a quail"

[ComerPerro]

8. that's right, it was "fuck yourself", not "fuck off"

12. When I stop and think -- the Vice Effin President actually said that! -- I mean, wow

5. Cons and their evil ways

It is standard operating procedure, the cons post lies and hate. Have you ever seen such a bunch of junk they post about the democrats. And then they have the gall to say that democrats/liberals send out and post hate. I sure would like to see some of those hateful emails that make the rounds about republicans.

[ComerPerro]

10. its true. The most hateful and mean-spirited Dem during the 2004 election

was Zell Miller, at the Repig Convention.

[tblue]

13. Uggggggh, him! Don't remind me.

[Turbineguy]

6. I wonder....

if in the spirit of pre-emptive war I should send this out to that pack of wingnuts that always sends me this shit first....hmmmm...

[ComerPerro]

11. lol, couldn't hurt. pre-emptively send out the snopes debunking
