helpful hint for those trying to defeat Clinton's primary candidacy: [View all]

Posting and recommending hit pieces from rightwing websites makes you look like you're obsessed with her personally, and are acting out of personal animosity instead of policy disagreement.

Flogging stuff like Benghazi emails and editorials from Investors Business Daily, whose views are reflected in this piece:

http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/041312-607800-obamacare-ominously-similar-to-soviet-socialized-medicine.htm

is generally what trolls, rightwingers, and straight-up haters engage in.

Respectfully,

Democrats who aren't in love with Clinton but despise rightwing talking points

While I hear what you are saying - when we are not in a campaign we often post rw junk to jwirr Apr 2015 #8

true dat, but there's a little too much eagerness to latch onto anything anti-Clinton. geek tragedy Apr 2015 #9
