4. Strange timing - I can think of nothing less effective in stopping Hillary than this

The first step for Hillary, where she is very well positioned, is to get the Democratic nomination. Bringing back all they obvious lies created out of pure hatred, would have the effect of most Democrats defending Hillary. Not to mention, charges like "far left" are not all that likely to hurt in Democratic primaries.

It also does not help in the general election if she is the candidate. The immediate thought I have seeing garbage like this -- is that they don't really have any case that can be made against her. This might swamp any of what could be reasonable arguments against her positions. There is NO candidate who has no policy, vision, or personal characteristics that the other side could not list. We actually DO stand for different things. My point here is that overwhelming, already disproven, charges could make people close their ears to all attacks.

Still, I can't imagine how sickening it has to be for Clinton and her family and close friends to have to see this hatred and smearing.
