Clinton Responds "Read the Articles" When Asked to Refuse Fracking Money, Laughs condescendingly

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

So out of touch! Keep dragging her 350 Action! She needs to answer for her support of fracking!

[RufusTFirefly]

1. She cackles when she's trapped. It's an obvious "tell." n/t

[Fairgo]

4. CackleSpackle(tm)

Plug your word hole with CackleSpackle!
Avoid embarrassing truth leaks!

[nichomachus]

5. +1,000

[RufusTFirefly]

6. She may have even been coached on this

Cackling can be an emotional regulation technique designed to avoid situations like this one:

[pdsimdars]

29. Yess. . . a real entrapeneur!

[jillan]

9. It drives me crazy! She has a great laugh but when she uses it to answer a question

it comes off so fake and nasty.

[blue neen]

16. "Cackles" is an interesting word.

One never hears it used when referring to a man. It's only used in a derogatory way to describe a woman.

[Art_from_Ark]

17. "Cackle" is most definitely also used for men,

especially for villains.

18. Very rarely, and certainly not on this board.

It's a sexist term and is being used in that way on DU.

Villains? Does anyone ever say Donald Trump cackles? Nah.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

19. Please...

You are obsessed with making everything sexist...

Does Donald Trump every laugh loudly and in a fake manner? I don't have cable so I don't hear much about him... But all the coverage on progressive internet like Young Turks I've never seen him laughing.

[blue neen]

20. Please...

So now you're defending Donald Trump?

Not surprising.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

22. I've had it with you... adding to ignore. nt

[blue neen]

24. Again, not surprising.

You love to dish it out, but you can't take it.

Every time someone on this board challenges you, they are put on ignore. It's your loss, because we can still reply to your thousands of negative posts----and you'll apparently have nothing to say.

[Bodhi BloodWave]

37. why wouldn't (s)he put you on ignore

when you are claiming (s)he were protecting donald trump.

I don't personally use ignore but the above few posts by you have made it clear to me that there is no reason for me to take you seriously(least not until election season is over, people tends to change during em)

[Art_from_Ark]

23. Does Donald Trump cackle?

I don't know. But who else laughs like Clinton, especially when she describes how Gaddafi was ousted or how some people in Iran would welcome a war? It's the facial expressions and the way she laughs at things like that that remind people of movie villains, like The Joker that was mentioned elsewhere on this thread.

[pdsimdars]

31. Every time a word is overused and/or misused it loses value and credatility

[thesquanderer]

39. "Dick Cheney's Night of creepy cackles!"

the tag line at the end of this video...

As for Donald Trump, does he ever even laugh? He smirks a lot, though.

[jillan]

25. What would you call that evil laugh?

[RufusTFirefly]

27. Oh puh-leeze!

No, if I said "giggles" you might have a point.

But keep doing your best to distract from the key point, which is this:

When Clinton is asked a tough question, instead of answering, she responds with an almost maniacal laugh.

How's that? "An almost maniacal laugh"? Better?

[VulgarPoet]

28. I'm calling this Clinton's Law.

"As an internet discussion about politics progresses, the likelihood of a poster likening a negative post about Hillary to sexism, racism, or right-wing smearing approaches one."

[pdsimdars]

32. Amen to that, . . . it just diminishes the value of that word.

[one_voice]

36. I agree..

when I hear 'cackle' the first thing I think of is witches/or evil women.

I've NEVER heard a mans laugh described as a cackle. Maniacal, cold, evil but never cackle.

I'm not one to jump on the 'sexist' train either. I've often gotten myself into trouble for doing just the opposite.

[demmiblue]

38. As a woman and as a Bernie supporter, I actually agree with you. n/t

[Fairgo]

2. That laugh...

Why is she laughing?

[CentralCoaster]

13. She always laughs when she's busted, it dismisses the question and the questioner.

As if to say "you cute little peon, so funny, hahaha!"

[pdsimdars]

33. Condescension. pure and simple. . . she is saying, "I don't have to take someone like you seriously"

Be gone, peasant!

[Avalon Sparks]

43. Cause it's fracking funny to her. The questioner isn't giving her 250,000 -

The little people ask the silliest things.

[daleanime]

3. I beginning to think that she's trying for a role....

in the next Batman movie.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

7. The joker? She thinks all these serious questions are laughing matters

[Avalon Sparks]

41. Or the next Wallstreet movie

[NCjack]

8. Easy for Hillary, even laughable. My property is on the boundary of exploitable

oil shale. In NC, that means that I'm venerable to having my well water ruined. There is nothing I can do if the companies can form a pool of neighbors large enough to give consent for drilling. If the drilling companies wreck my well water, I have no legal recourse. My property would become almost worthless. Thanks for that laugh, Hillary.

[jillan]

10. Oh no!! Have you talked to your neighbors about this?

[NCjack]

15. Six families live on our ridge. Five are opposed to fractin'. But if the companies

want to drill our property, all they have to is configure a collection of owners to form a pool that meets the requirements to give consent for that pool's land. The fall in oil and gas prices is giving us relief. Some companies have died, overall leasing has stopped, and leases are expiring all over NC. Next, there is the hope that Bernie is elected and our property rights are restored. Our problem extends from Pres. Obama (took fractin' money) and Congress (took fractin' money) supporting the fractin' companies and not giving the land owners any form of compensation for damages. The NC Republican governor and legislature and some DINOs took money from the companies and gave them sweetheart laws. I feel sorry for the land owners who have been screwed. For us, it looks like a race between green energy and the fractin' companies.

11. Young people want to be trending its the snap chat/twitter/instagram thing to do now days.

" Ashely, did record that"

"Yup, I got her." "I'm posting it right now, we're about to be trending".

[frylock]

26. Stupid kids, with their stupid posts on Facebook about the stupid environment.

[pdsimdars]

34. Well, SOMEONE has to do the actual reporting since the MSM refuses.

[Agony]

14. Clinton is unsuited to epic task of confronting the fossil-fuel companies profit from Climate Change

Naomi Klein nails it!

The Problem With Hillary Clinton Isn’t Just Her Corporate Cash. It’s Her Corporate Worldview.
Clinton is uniquely unsuited to the epic task of confronting the fossil-fuel companies that profit from climate change.

While Clinton is great at warring with Republicans, taking on powerful corporations goes against her entire worldview, against everything she’s built, and everything she stands for. The real issue, in other words, isn’t Clinton’s corporate cash, it’s her deeply pro-corporate ideology: one that makes taking money from lobbyists and accepting exorbitant speech fees from banks seem so natural that the candidate is openly struggling to see why any of this has blown up at all.

To understand this worldview, one need look no further than the foundation at which Hillary Clinton works and which bears her family name. The mission of the Clinton Foundation can be distilled as follows: There is so much private wealth sloshing around our planet (thanks in very large part to the deregulation and privatization frenzy that Bill Clinton unleashed on the world while president), that every single problem on earth, no matter how large, can be solved by convincing the ultra-rich to do the right things with their loose change. Naturally, the people to convince them to do these fine things are the Clintons, the ultimate relationship brokers and dealmakers, with the help of an entourage of A-list celebrities.

So let’s forget the smoking guns for the moment. The problem with Clinton World is structural. It’s the way in which these profoundly enmeshed relationships—lubricated by the exchange of money, favors, status, and media attention—shape what gets proposed as policy in the first place.

[SHRED]

21. She pushed fracking worldwide not too long ago

[antigop]

30. ***cackle*** nt

[pdsimdars]

35. And you know that she will be getting this from here on out

It does 2 things.

(1) It exposes her for who she is and what she stands for (and how she treats people)

and

(2) It does bring attention to a serious issue. It's a way for groups to get their message covered.

[Avalon Sparks]

40. Let them eat cake

Bump

[Avalon Sparks]

42. Her stance on Fracking is another reason I'm voting for Bernie

There's fracking going on all around me where I live in North Texas.
In parallel I now get horrible headaches several times a month - occasionally nose bleeds also. Coincinding and increasing worse as more fracking sites are added.

Of course the Oil & Gas supporters say nothing to worry about. Hillary sure doesn't have anything to worry about, she doesn't live in the midst of it.

What's worse is the fracking could occur in less populated states like Wyoming, in land where there is sparse population, if any. However that would be more expensive to transport then right out of Texas - so of course money rules. No compromise even discussed.

Frack Hillary!
