Fox Floats Conspiracy Theory That Murdered DNC Staffer Was A Hit Job By Clinton

All that's old is new again. It was only a matter of time until they found themselves another Vince Foster. Here are the yappers over on Fox "news" pushing the latest conspiracy theory from WikiLeaks and Julian Assange: Fox’s Eric Bolling Floats Conspiracy Theory That Murdered DNC Staffer “Was A Hit”:

Hillary and her campaign must put an end to this. This is the start of a "swiftboating" attack. If Hillary ignores this it will only grow and become true by innuendo.
They have to nip this in the bud when it is first implied.

Can't they get some Trump campaign emails demonstrating this is a "dirty tricks " operation? This will grow to consume Hillary.

2. The only people this story has traction with are people that will never vote for Hillary.

4. John Kerry thought the same way about his Vietnam Service Record

Kerry waited too long to fight back. He believe that the average voter will never fall for that. Kerry sat back and the Bush guys destroyed Kerry's reputation and his distinguished honorable military service record. Kerry should have set the record straight the minute they challenged it.

Hillary Clinton should now set the record straight the minute these clowns are challenging her.

I am so sick of this Republican smear remake. They need to focus on the fact that their candidate is deranged.

Boy Fixed Noise isn't very inventive. We did all this bullshit with Vince Foster 20 years ago.

12. If dangerous morons didn't actually believe these things, this would be hilarious.

The problem is, a small percentage of people REALLY DO think she (Bill too) is a MURDERER. They are screaming it from the rooftops!

"Can't you people see!? She's a murderer! She must be stopped!"

Which is where you get literally unstable people talking about some really dangerous solutions. In their brain, this killer MUST BE STOPPED! For the good of the country!

Asshole news reporters, who know its all made up garbage, endanger peoples LIVES when they float bullshit like this.

13. Responding to nonsense only gives credibility to it. Keep the conversation on Trump issues.

Trump surrogates have been doing this with no shame lately. They will get asked a question about Trump and will respond by attacking Hillary.

News Host:
Trump said the sky is blue. Do you agree?

Trump surrogate:
"There goes the liberal media again twisting Mr. Trumps words. Lets talk about this black cloud Hillary is putting over the country with emails, Libya, etc..."

14. My kid went out to lunch with a friend yesterday

Son is heading off to college soon. Friend just finished his freshman year of college. Friend's father and two of father's friends were there.

The three older adults were talking about how the Clintons had a DNC person assassinated. And they were serious.

... that will go toward tipping fence sitters to Hillary. They're flooding the media with the MOST RIDICULOUS smears that even people inclined to believe will be put off.

This isn't like the swift boating, which was buried in history.

I think the HRC campaign is right to continue not to give such stories attention.
