But, as long as it is anti-Hillary, they think it is okay. They will all be gone soon and this type of trash will too.

or ignoring Sanders.

She is the fucking frontrunner. She was first lady, a Senator, and the Secretary of State.
She has been in public life for ages... She is INTERESTING.
She is a newsmaker and the news people follow people in the news.

For decades she has increased her network and circle of influence to include the world stage--not retreat to some pastoral hamlet, phoning it in.

One pattern is they joined DU after Obama was elected, and post many, many anti-Hillary posts - sometimes 20 or 50 or more on average per day. Many posts are long and edited. Sometimes they post a bunch within a few minutes.

These may be legitimate members of DU, but it doesn't seem to be a stretch to assume some are operatives who would take any candidate's side as long as it's Hillary hate. That's their mission.

Once they get 100 posts and are not the subject to MIRT, they are free to wage war - and it's hard to say if they are really Bernie supporters or simply plants to defeat the Democratic front runner in 2016.

Personally, I wish there was a better way to sort out those operatives. Excited and naive Bernie supporters don't know they are being manipulated - as long as they are having a good time attacking Hillary.

This is really sad and says more about them and absolutely Nothing about Hillary.

The fucking rw US media is actually propping up trump but don't let the facts get in their way.. they never have.

Of course a rwinger toonist is going to say it's Hillary the "media" is pushing.. they are such whiny little victims.

Thank you for this, su. Despicable but we've seen this bad movie before.

Like they're not already filling their airtime with Trump stories. That's why Trump hasn't spent any mpney. The networks are running infomercials for him for free!

But, somehow all of sudden in some people's minds the US corp media is promoting Hillary because a rwinger 'toonist says so .. and they fall lock stock and barrel. Willfully or otherwise.

Oh they so mad.. they fuming. LOFL

Not sure if I'm juror #3 or #4 - but you survived. Seriously - the person who alerted - should have pointed out specifically who was attacked. The person who voted to hide - didn't read the OP or didn't realize where the OP was posted.

For the record - I'm disgusted that someone would post that image as a "good thing". She told no lies. Clinton is correct -

Trump is the best recruitment tool for Radical Islam. And for-
Black Activists
Hispanic/Latino Activists
Women Activists
Mobilizing Affluent, Rich, and Wealthy Librals/Progressives
House Negroes (I'm one per a certain crowd so I'm having fun with it)

Who else?

She better pile on!
