when rw radio blew up with a story about obama and clinton ordering embassy guards around the world not to carry live ammo - suggesting they wanted attacks - which is basically what the lie was supposed to stimulate and that's why the PR guy for the army had to make a public statement that it was bullshit.

rw blowhards like hannity were definitely stupid enough to be telling the world/terrorists that our embassy guards were unarmed but who came up with that in the first place?

Somewhere along the line the fake scandal was seamlessly shifted from Obama to Clinton.

If I understand correctly, the official position of the GOP is that Hillary seized control over the government and ordered these terrible things to be done--whatever exactly they were also seems to vary--and Obama was completely oblivious to what was happening in his own administration.

It goes way, way further back. They (the right wingers) started on her from when her husband was President. I won't get into it all but if you've never heard of "The Arkansas Project" that'll be a start.

Also, read a book called Blinded by the Right by David Brock (he was a conservative) who wrote a expose in 2002.

A horrible character assassination with right-wing radio (especially Limbaugh) leading the charge. The elimination of The Fairness Doctrine In 1987 (during Reagan's administration) enabled the Limbaugh's of the world to become so empowered.

Tue Jun 2, 2020, 01:02 PM

about Hillary winning.

First, the polls were not wrong. RCP's average showed that Hillary would win the national vote by 3%, and she won it by 2%, which is right on the money as far as statistics are concerned.

Second, there was a lot of movement in the polls against Hillary after Comey's completely unnecessary announcement about the "new" email cache found on Anthony Weiner's computer.

Finally, Hillary's negatives were driven higher by three forces:
- The traditional right wing Clinton-hating gang which is its own cottage industry.
- The hardcore Bernie Sanders left which never healed after the primaries
- The traditional media which bent over backwards to hype any negative story about Hillary in order to look "unbiased".

In the end, the killer was Comey.

He literally put his fat thumb on the scale for Trump. Ironically, now the right wing think that he was a part of some grand conspiracy to help Hillary.

Sorry for the delayed response. I didn't see your post. Luckily, even though being in the epicenter of the pandemic, I have made it so far without getting ill. This is far from over, so who knows what well happen in the future? I'm keeping my fingers crossed and being careful.

How about you, are you and your loved ones well? I hope that you made it through alright.

Hugs....

You know the worst thing about 2016 is people like Susan Sarandon, Jill Stein, Micheal Moore, and the self-righteous Bernie fanatics who are all elitists.

They won't lose their Obamacare, Food stamps, but the poor and middle class always suffer.

Just like when Bush won in 2000 because of Ralph Nadir’s ego.


The very survival of this country is now in doubt because of 2016


The SCOTUS alone should have had everybody with any sense vote for Hillary like they showed up for Obama.

The same thing is true in 2020

how dare a woman make some money.

all while we knew about trash Trump and his scams with things like Trump University and shit.

to get what most of us here and most Democrats have always been saying. This is actually because of a symbiotic relationship between an egomaniac, the GOP haters and their monied manipulators, and a foreign enemy also led by an egomaniac.
