Think of the Supreme Court, I am: David Brock, Clarence Thomas, Anita Hill, Citizens United, Hillary

What do all of those names and titles have in common?

A group calling themselves Citizens United helped get Clarence Thomas nominated AND confirmed to the USSC.

But his nomination was in jeopardy when Anita Hill was called to testify wrt sexual harassment which she endured at his hands that basically should have eliminated him from any consideration for that nomination.

Anita Hill instantly became the target of the most vicious, anti-women, angry Right Wing factions and their 'noise machine', after she testified under oath as she was ordered to do.

Iow, had it not been for the all out war waged on Anita Hill by the far right, led by David Brock who lied about and smeared a woman with an impeccable reputation until then, today we might not be saddled with that extremist, Clarence Thomas on the SC, who completed his obligation to those who put him there with the passage of their dream legislation, and the country's nightmare, the ruling with the Orwellian Title, Citizens United.

But that wasn't the first we heard of Right Wing Smear Monger, David Brock.

Brock also played a large role in the Impeachment of Bill Clinton!

Which brings me to Hillary Clinton!

As a Champion of Women and the woman who exposed the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy in which David Brock played a large role, surely SHE of all people, would not only avoid any association with such a 'Dark Actor' as they call such people in the UK, but do all she could to eliminate such destructive elements from our system of Government?

Brock, after enriching himself from his role as part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, slithered over to the Left where he appears to be recreating a similar model to the one he was so much a part of on the Right

These are the ENEMIES of Democracy.

So what would Hillary Clinton, Champion of Women, such as Anita Hill, who helped expose the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, have to do with such a person as David Brock?

Had you asked me a few months ago, I would have assumed she would have nothing to with such a vile human being.

But I would have been wrong.

Shamefully, Hillary Clinton is now closely aligned with David Brock.


Brock runs her Corporate Funded Super Pac and is now using it to continue to do what he does best, what he did to Anita Hill and Bill Clinton.

With her campaign's assistance and in her name, he is now doing it to Bernie Sanders for Hillary, what he did to us, to Anita Hill and Bill Clinton for the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

As Sanders' spokesperson, Briggs, said last week: 'She should be ashamed' of this association with Brock. And he's not the only one!

Almost every vile attack on Bernie can be traced back to this Right Wing Smear monger.

Almost every lie told can also be traced back to him.

THIS is the epitome of all that is wrong with our system.


Brock, ironically part of what FACILITATED Citizens United, is USING it now to put his 'skills' to work on Hillary's behalf.

Iow, to smear yet another good human being, Bernie Sanders, who like Anita Hill, also has an impeccable reputation.

Shameful betrayal of all those who stood up on HER behalf against this vile smear monger.



We are constantly reminded to 'think of the SC' during elections season.


This election season we are thinking about it, more than ever before

Think about Citizens United, Clarence Thomas, David Brock and Anita Hill and then think of Hillary Clinton and ask, why is she associated in ANY Way with this Right Wing smear monger, and why would she condone his Rovian tactics which so harmed women AND her husband, Bill Clinton, not to mention this country?

I don't know the answer to that.

Bernie Sanders doesn't either he has stated.

I do know that this is one more reason why I support Bernie Sanders.

Because of the Supreme Court!

Why did Mrs. Greenspan Automatically Think of Hillary When She Saw This Ad?



The ad is based on what Bernie's whole campaign is based on, the disastrous effects of money in our electoral system.

When she interviewed Bernie today Mrs. Greenspan asked him 'why have you decided to go negative against Clinton in your latest ad?

Bernie asked her if Hillary's name was mentioned in the ad?

'No'

He asked if her campaign was mentioned in the ad"

'No'

I thought it was a strange question considering the ad focuses on the issue that is so important now to a majority of Americans.

Maybe Mrs Greenspan was thinking of Hillary because like every other politician practically in DC, she is beholden to Wall St.

Anyhow, she said it, not Bernie. It's a great ad, btw.

Unelectable = Can't Be Bought By Wall St

It's laughable to see the constant trotting out of this most ridiculous meme when it comes to someone who has proven how very electable they are.

The idea that we little people don't have the mental capacity to see how illogical it is to make such a claim about any politician who has been elected, could only come from the fevered brains of inside DC Think Tanks, hired, sort of like mafia goons, to come up with this nonsense by those who themselves actually know how stupid these talking points are.

However, in our current corrupt and rigged system there is SOME truth to the meme.

Not the one they wish to portray of course, but we little people actually CAN decipher these talking points and see the ridiculousnees of them for ourselves.

The truth is, what they MEAN by unelectable is:

'listen you honest, smart, ethical, authentic politician,, you think you can be President if you don't take the bribes we are offering you? Not in the system WE have rigged to make sure no one like YOU will ever be elected to that high office where you think your job is to NOT represent US.'

But let's take them literally just for fun:


Hillary, we are to assume, IS electable. Well, I agree with that since she was elected twice in her political career. That's on the plus side.

However, Hillary was unelectable for the office she is now seeking again, in 2008. Sure she's free to try again, but that means she's tried already and failed to be elected.

Bernie, we are to take from the ridiculous talking point, is NOT electable. I have to logically disagree with that since the man HAS been elected over and over again over the past several decades.



Is it just me, or is this one of the most ridiculous, not to mention easily disproven talking points ever?

I hope a lot of Corporate money was wasted on this one!

Finally, Bernie has NEVER lost a Presidential Primary Nomination yet.

Hillary HAS lost a Presidential Primary Nomination.


So, and I'm just trying to follow the logic, if there is any, of the morons who are attempting to push this most assinine meme on intelligent people, it would seem to me that these highly paid, not-too-bright Think Tanks would serve whoever they are working for better by not insulting the intelligence of the average voter.

QED

Bernie has proven himself to be the MOST ELECTABLE Democratic Candidate in this race.

Hillary has a mixed record on electability and nowhere near as long as Bernie's proven record of electability

I'm glad they brought it up actually.

If electability is what we are to worry about Bernie is definitely the candidate who should get the Nomination.

Every time I hear that word, 'unelectable' I, and every other person with a few functioning brain cells, know what it means:

Hillary Needs to Release her Medical Records!

Just sayin' ....

Right?

I mean why should ONE candidate be required to release THEIR records but not the OTHER?

I think this is going to be great for Bernie!

Ageism stinks. As does all bigotry.

Both of our Dem Candidates are likely to be victims of ageism.

Both are from the same generation.

Shame if WE start the campaign of bigotry known as Ageism, and for good reason. Ugh!

So let's not discriminate.

ALL candidates MUST release their Medical Records.

Cruz, we're looking at you too!

Go Bernie!

Edit: Yes, I know Hillary released hers a year ago.

But since AGE is the reason given for the demand for Bernie's, then I'm sure everyone will agree, old people's health can change in the course of a year.

Actually everyone's health can change in the course of a year.

But we're talking about a case of clear AGEISM here!

Reason given for demand for Medical Records:

Sanders is 74 years old and will be 75 years old in January 2017.

Both Hillary and Sanders are 'old', which is a good thing imo. But apparently not for some people.

Hope that clarifies things.
