CBS' Dickerson asks HRC: "Is this the 'real' Hillary Clinton?".. Is Dickerson a real journalist, or

.. just a boot-licking campaign errand boy for the GOP? Did Dickerson ever ask, over the last several years, any of the GOP Benghazi Inquisitioners - of any of the 7 investigations of Benghazi - did he ever ask any of these McCarthyites:

[font color="red"] "Is this a 'REAL' investigation seeking to find the truth about what happened in Benghazi, or is it just a McCarhtyist hounding of Hillary Clinton?"[/font]


.. Come-on Dickerson, tell us how much you enjoy being on your knees, grovelling before the GOP. Here's a question for a real journalist, not you Dickerson: [font color="red"]"What would the GOP do for a campaign if it wasn't for McCarthyism?"[/font]


McCarthyist Witch hunt
There have already been seven investigations, 13 hearings, 50 briefings, and 25,000 pages of documents have been released. But that won't stop Republicans from re-re-re investigating Benghazi as a part of a crass partisan ploy to turn out the far-right base in November.

is the one and only politician that considers not only what she says but how she says it. HRC got into being careful how she says things because the GOP have for years worked tirelessly to try to twist anything she says into some sort of 'indication' that she is a witch and 'up to' something nefarious.

To act as if Corporate media is not themselves selecting and wording their questions to further enhance the depiction of HRC as some sort of 'alien' super-bitch is to be as naive as a child.


I wish when Dickerson asked the question:"Is this the real Hillary Clinton" HRC had asked him: "Is this is real John Dickerson or the JD asking the right questions to please the GOP?"

I like Bernie, but I don't like to see McCarthyism succeed. It's not good for our Democracy.
