The Truth IS on the table…not exaggerated, distorted talking points repeated ad nauseam. Screw that

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Hassin Bin Sober (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

Hillary Clinton has been dehumanized on this board to the point where anything and everything she says is attacked, twisted, distorted. Nothing positive can be posted without a swarm of negativity.

I wonder what you believe you are accomplishing?

Her record is massive. And, viewed without the ugly twisted distortion, is an excellent record. Facts are facts. Lies are Lies.

You want to say she is responsible for killing Iraqi children? What a bunch of bullshit.
You want to blame HER for NAFTA? Are you going to blame the current FLOTUS for the government shut down? Are you going to blame Obama for that government shut down? Bunch of Bullshit. Are you going to blame Clinton for the Confederate Flag hanging in Arkansas? More Bullshit. You are going to blame her for the fact that gay marriage was not passed in the 90s? Please.

To look at history under current norms and priorities is disingenuous...and just another way to attack her. Fine, go ahead. But lets not pretend it is reasonable. It is weak BS pretending to be intelligent conversation.

Sorry for the rant, which is directed at my frustration with the bullshit attacks on this board of an intelligent, caring, talented, uniquely qualified female DEMOCRAT.

but Ms. Clinton has never adequately explained why she voted for IWR (I can only infer she thought it would damage her career if she voted against the war-fever mentality).......it sickens me to this day

It is not BS pretending to be intelligent conversation. It is BS being BS. They know it, but it feeds a twisted ego that inflates their own sense of moral superiority. And it's a contest. Not one that my sense of right and wrong would allow me to participate in, but a contest none the less.

Even if you favor a different candidate.

The silly OP's, like the ones mentioned by Evergreen Emerald won't change minds.

If it bothers you that it gets discussed, then the problem lies with you.

Calling it bullshit doesn't change inconvenient facts. But scream at people they aren't allowed to see reality for what it is, I'm sure it will win them over.

She made that clear. It bothers her, and me, and every other HRC supporter that is gets distorted. It should bother you, too.

We hear enough of that from Fox, and from the MSM. It should not be happening here.

Apparently you have a distorted definition of what distorted means.

Certainly doesn't make me want to vote against her and pushes me closer to her.

Keeping my options open since I'm not a Clinton fan.
But yeah, the Sanders supporters here sure do make it hard to like him.
"Disappointing" doesn't even begin to describe their behavior.
