About Cartoon Hillary…

If there is one thing that makes this election different than past elections, it is in the sheer volume of bullshit being flung about. There are times when I feel like I’m in the monkey cage at the zoo. Of course, I will get to Trump; he’s practically a steaming pile of bullshit, so that will take a while. I figure three months ought to do it.

On the other hand, the bullshit being thrown about the other major candidate in this race is even more troubling. I wish I was able to say I don’t know why so many people peddle such bullshit about Hillary Clinton, but I know very well why it happens. A lot of extremely powerful people have spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to destroy her and her husband, one of the only two competent presidents we’ve had since 1981. They have peddled lie after lie and they have done so with a single aim; to take them out of the politics.

Has it worked? You tell me. She is the odds-on favorite to become the second Clinton to be elected president so, on the one hand, it hasn’t worked out at all for the bullshitters. However, a lot of people,
including many otherwise intelligent self-described progressives, still propagate the bullshit, to the point that it lives on, long after most of it was debunked. The most stunning part of all of this is the sheer number of “progressives” who used to defend her now using the bullshit to smear her.


snip

Everything negative you hear about Hillary Clinton is pretty much based on complete bullshit. Stop passing on that bullshit and tell the truth. Your hatred of Hillary Clinton is not based on anything she has done, it’s based on your gullibility and your need to believe whatever makes her look bad because you think that rationalizes your support for… whatever you actually believe. Frankly, I think people who lie about Hillary Clinton actually believe in nothing, and just like to complain.

And a lot of liberals and progressives are just plain sick of hearing it. I promise you.

This liberal is certainly sick of hearing it. I give this a thumbs up

This woman has handled the constant lies and attacks with a grace that is unimaginable. When you take away the baseless and unending attacks, Hillary has an unparalleled record of fighting for working people, families, women, children, and minorities. Hillary has done more to help people than any 10 people in Washington combined.

All the more reason to hit back and defend our future leader and all democrats who stand with her.

when he beat Bush I.
Hillary got active on health care and Fox News was born.
It has been constant slime ever since.
She is a rock!

Of turning the fruitless results of EVERY investigation launched or hearing held into a narrative of "well, we didn't find anything because she's that good at hiding the evidence" (and killing the witnesses apparently.)

Even with this whole missing email nonsense. It's not at all about trying to tie blame to her for some event that occurred in the world that must now be traced to a source...it's all about imagining and hypothesizing what misdeeds could be in those missing emails...

Republicans insist the evil in the Clintons lies in all we just don't know about them.

She was mocked for pointing out the right wing conspiracy to defame the Clinton name. Shit if it isn't so ~

evidence in her favor is twisted and interpreted as "proof" of conspiracy, not to mention as "proof" of her ubiquitous and ruthless power.

I keep wondering why people don't start feeling sympathy for a person who has been so relentlessly and publicly attacked by so many obvious sleazeballs for so many years. Instead, many people act like the followers who brutally pile on as soon as a bully attacks his chosen target.

I am amazed that she just soldiers on through it all.

And I think it's that even temperament - a key part of her formula - that's winning over voters.

Even the pundits who do support her will ask why doesn't she say it this way or that way?

She's said it every which way imaginable. She speaks. The claims don't stop. She speaks clearer, more detail. The accusations continue. She elaborates even further...and it's 'why can't she answer a simple question?'

Aaaaarrrrrgh!
