That is what this thread is about.

Ichingcarpenter was particularly flagrant in actually citing to the freebeacon and using its false headline.

Not for anything "relatively progressive"? Really now? VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #31

I am starting to think that you don't believe Hillary Clinton has a public record of what she has VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #47
