The vile attacks on Hillary?

Here’s what I would suggest.

The issue of the emails and Benghazi must be addressed by some sort of symposium at the Democratic convention.. I would take a 3 hr. block out of the current guest speaker venue and replace it with a group of speakers Military, State Dept, Defense Dept, and Congressmen to stand at the podium to refute and attack all of the vile hateful attacks on Secretary Clinton, which are known by fact to be nothing but lies

This shit is getting dangerous and we must come together immediately to squash all these horrific lies by simply taking the hot shit filled air out of them.

No better place to do it than the upcoming Convention.

I will add that i feel the Clinton Team has not done an effective job pushing back on all of this, perhaps they know something which I don’t about this type of strategy, but whatever they do I hope they get on it fast..

Nothing is going to change the minds of these idiots.

How many years did they go on and on about Obama's birth certificate?

Just ignore them. That's the best resolution of all.

Deny them the attention they so stupidly beg for.

We’ve heard of that strategy before.. Have we not? and we know how things turned out.

By the way your response was my response up to this point.

no matter what you say or do, you won't change minds.

So, why bother?

We have many important things to deal with and the manic refusal of the right to accept the truth is just NOT ONE OF THEM.

Having what you suggest at the convention only gives the impression she has actions that must be defended when there are none. Every committee and even the FBI have said as much. Doing what you say will not silence them nor will it change minds that are not open.

...and the sad part is that the Democrats will have to do the same thing in order to compete with them.

The lies were all aired during the primary, and there is no need to make a second pass. No intelligent person believed the lies, and no stupid people will understand the correction/explanation.
