No one except our silly media and the TeaRight gives a FLYING SHIT about this email nonsense.

[RBInMaine]

How pathetic. Most people don't give a FLYING SHIT about this email nonsense. They want JOBS and to be able to PAY FOR COLLEGE.

Our media is a JOKE. Really, a SILLY JOKE.

No laws broken. Tens of thousands of emails turned over with a green light to go public with it. Jeb Bush and Colin Powell did the exact same thing. And they keep this crap going. My god, talk about needing to get a real llfe.

This is all just silly bullshit. Gee, if only a news outlet gave a damn about income inequality, the high cost of college, our crumbling infrastructure, and, um, needing MORE JOBS. But no, they have to focus on this silly nonsense. So sad. Little wonder other nations laugh at us. We truly have an idiot culture in this country fed by out idiot media. Especially among those who have the level of a mind that would actually watch the Fox News Channel. How stupid.

1. Richard Wolff sheds light on the big game

Yes, we have many problems. The deliberate distraction from what some of these problems are goes unnoticed. We get spoon fed a few quick quips, little gotchas, and we think we know everything.

2. As I keep saying...

This is simply more of the Rovian horseshit magnifier whereby any Democrat of significance will have his or her life microscopically examined for anything, no matter how insignificant, that can be blown up to disparage said Democrat. The Republican slime machine is extremely good at this and it should be stopped.

What we should be doing is standing up and crying "Bullshit" and not cringing with defenses for her. One would hope logic and rationality would stop this nonsense, but in the end it will probably have to be ridicule.

3. is that so?

Check out the tech sites and you'll revise your opinion quickly - that is, if facts will alter it. Information security folks are stunned. And it's only a matter of time before the national security crowd gets in on it, because this has incredible implications.

7. I so agree with you.

As a former Email Administrator for an international corporation, this is unbelieveable in this day and age. Come on! Even Sarah Palin got dinged for this and we never let up and we shouldn't when one of our own does it. I don't agree with the OP and did not rec this.

[John Poet]

11. Yeah, cuz

we sure wouldn't want any spies to know that
Hillary and Barack were "plotting peace" against other countries...


She was SOS, not Defense, Not the CIA, Not the Pentagon, Not the FBI, Not the NSA....

[LiberalFighter]

15. Tech sites don't know diddly squat about processes involved in top level admins.

What happens with their own folks and what they think are top level admins are also not the same as in a corporation or government agency.

If anyone in the government as a director or other top level manager were to take care of every bit of detail they wouldn't have time to do their job. That is what AA's, secretaries, and other staff members are for. As for classified interaction do you really think it would be left to emails? Or even letter correspondence unless they were sent by diplomatic pouch?

4. But cable and broadcast M$M will continue to beat this dead horse, hoping to breathe new life into

it for political gain. Republican political gain.

It will take a couple of weeks before they realize that their attempts to create a scandal where there isn't one, and their attempts to divert attention from the 47 Neo-Confederate Seditonists' public letter, will fail. Then they'll try and find something else on Hillary Clinton (and by default, Democrats) in the hopes of having the public tire of hearing one non-scandal after another about a Clinton, and have public sentiment turn against Democrats in favor of Republicans just in time for the 2016 elections.

Make no mistake. This is a well-planned strategy. The wealthy and well-connected are desperate to have another Republican in the White House, but the demographics and geography aren't in their favor. Hopefully, smearing Democrats and the Democratic Party day in, day out, will help the public to vote Republican and that Republican will launch another war in the M.E. that they'll shamelessly promote and propagandize with vigor.

Corporate America (most of Corporate America) want WAR and they're going to do everything they can to get another warmongering Republican into the White House in order to get it.

5. I must disagree

as poster #3 stated there are technical reasons to be concerned along with procedural ones. I would like a complete understanding of this issue and I am a life long Democrat. While as the former Secretary may have stated it was a matter of convenience for her, I believe that it was a serious mis-step in judgement. If this individual is going to seek the Presidency as is believed by many then I will have to understand the lack of judgement to my satisfaction for her to get my vote.

[RBInMaine]

10. Oh please. This is a bullshit issue. Very few give a rat's ass about this.

[Sherman A1]

16. You have your opinion

and I have mine.

Good Day To You.

[pnwmom]

6. Agreed -- except Colin Powell didn't do the exact same thing.

He used a personal account for his emails. But when the State Department asked for them, so they could be archived -- his response was no, he had already deleted them.

But he'd be happy to answer any questions.

8. The media is the propaganda machine used by the GOP to take democratic politicians down

The media seems to beat democratic politicians down for months but will let republicains off easy. Look at the corruption charges Rick Scott and Chris Christie face. The media reports on it for about a week then the subject is dropped after about two weeks.

9. We disregard this at our own peril. It's a pattern.

Unacceptable attitude and behavior on her very selfish part.

[John Poet]

13. You're right.

Unacceptable.

I guess we'll have to settle for a Republican in the White House,
to sign everything the GOP Congress wants to pass.

[NYC_SKP]

14. A Dino or a Republican, either way we lose.

She voted with them before, she'll do it again.

[Jamaal510]

12. True,

and it is sad to even see "liberal" MSNBC run with this story for as long as they have. Both Lawrence-O and Alex Wagner have been discussing this to death, as well as on The Cycle. The relevance this email story has to the average American is dubious, and like you said--there are things to discuss that actually have an impact on people's lives. It's times like these that remind me that I need to look for other sources for news rather than only relying on what is spoon-fed from TV.

17. Seriously

My local mall is closing stores. Not just the little stores, but the large anchor stores, too. Why? Because nobody is shopping
there because nobody has money BECAUSE not enough people are employed. We need jobs!

Meanwhile the media is on a witch hunt because of Hillary's emails. People don't CARE! We also have the matter of the double standard the media is exhibiting. Google it and see.
