To quote Ronald Reagan, there you go again, Susan Sarandon. Competing for the title of Bernie Sanders‘ most deranged Hillary Clinton attack dog, Sarandon has already suggested that a Donald Trump presidency might be preferable to Hillary winning the White House, called her a liar, and even come out against a Chelsea Clinton presidency. At a rally in Philadelphia Monday night, Sarandon was at it again, attacking Hillary with a vicious quote that carried special power because of the identity of the person she claimed to be quoting:

This is such an important election, I just wanted to read you this, a little something about Hillary Rodham Clinton. “HRC is driven by politics, not conviction. From the war, to NAFTA, to Social Security, to her choice of baseball teams, Clinton is constantly shifting, dodging and changing positions to satisfy the politics of the moment. Her penchant for secrecy and non-disclosure reflect an underlying disdain for the ‘invisible’ people for whom she claims to speak.”

This was spoken by Barack Obama in 2008. So as we can see, the only thing consistent about Hillary Clinton is her inconsistency.

The quote is real, and Sarandon quotes it accurately, but it wasn’t from 2008, it was from 2007, but more importantly, it wasn’t “spoken by Barack Obama.”

3. So he didn't really SAY it (as in speaking the words aloud), but

it was in a memo released by his team. You're just nitpicking. For all intents and purposes, he said it.

4. I love how your side keeps quoting Ronald Reagan to such great effect:

But for Hillary, this is all deja vu.

In October 2007, the Obama campaign was sagging in the polls, outmatched by the Clinton machine. To turn the tide, the Obamans decided to attack Hillary's greatest weakness – her character. The new strategy was detailed in a campaign memo:

HRC is driven by politics, not conviction. From the war, to NAFTA, to Social Security, to her choice of baseball teams, Clinton is constantly shifting, dodging and changing positions to satisfy the politics of the moment. Her penchant for secrecy and non-disclosure reflect an underlying disdain for the "invisible" people for whom she claims to speak.

to her fringe politics before.

13. It wasn't written by Obama, it was written by staff as a memo to Obama

Attributing those words to Obama himself, as Sarandon did, is simply a lie.

But you knew that, didn't you?

[virtualobserver]

14. and it was true.....that is what the Hillary people hate the most.

[angstlessk]

15. Was true then, and true now. n/t

10. She is smart enough to know Sanders current campaign is floundering.

Props to her for seeing that and interjecting notes from Obamas campaign. What else are they going to do? They have been in kitchen sink mode for over a month.

Desperation isn't pretty and that is no different for the Sanders campaign.
