It is amazing to me that so many on the right

[One of the 99]

who are so outraged by Clinton's emails had no problem with:

- Colin Powell's use of private email and his failure to turn any of them over when requested.
- The 3 million emails from the RNC server installed at the White House that went missing.
- The outing of CIA undercover operative Valerie Plame for political purposes.

Now I'm not saying that what Clinton did was right. It wasn't. But compared to the above, it was a minor infraction.

Yet some in the right from the FAUX & Friends wannabes on MSNBC to Eddie Munster Ryan are completely outraged. You would think that Clinton sold defense secrets to terrorists by their reactions. Hypocrites.

What is worse is that many on the far left are joining them including Iraq war supporter Glenn Greenwald, HA Goodwin and the "Insane" Progressive. They seem to be driving only by some irrational hatred for Clinton. They have no principles and gleefully quote right wing sources to make their attacks. These people are not true liberals or progressives. True liberals and progressives want to build, not just tear things down. Most of these people are privileged white who will suffer no consequence of a Trump presidency.

1. Those on the right know damned well that Americans have short memories. Colin who? Plame what?

2. The ends justify the means.

Unfortunately, that's how it is to most people - what's ok for someone on their team is no ok for someone on the other team.

Politics.

3. True

but was is really disgusting is that no one is pushing back on these people. They are making false statements, many more than Clinton has made, and not being called out on it.

4. I know, all of Bushco should be in jail.

But they got away with what they did and were never held accountable. Nothing has changed.
