(and she has quite a public record for all to fact check against) are being mischaracterized and exaggerated beyond recognition! Its unbelievable how many downright myths and distortions are allowed to stand when they are so easily proven false with FACTS! I read a lot of rhetoric and read a lot of bullshit that is allowed to stand...but do not see a lot of backing that shit up with EVIDENCE! We are all just supposed to ACCEPT it because they say so! As if repetition is how you create perception...if people just get worn down..having to prove things a myth or urban legend often enough and over and over and over over "it do get tiresome after a while". So when people just stop opposing that because they are just bored with doing so ...it means that now everyone just accepts it as reality! Afterall "no one's complaining anymore" so it must be true! The old George Bush "we have to catapult the propaganda" technique of "politickin'"

When DU'ers post right wing garbage against her- they very well might. You don't see the difference? KittyWampus Apr 2015 #6

"Right wing garbage" seems now to include anything about Hillary that anyone does not care for. djean111 Apr 2015 #11

Well, I resent the stupid anti-Hillary garbage posted here cause it forces me to defend her. KittyWampus Apr 2015 #15

"Stupid anti-hillary garbage" to some, includes any question about her past record tularetom Apr 2015 #66

If someone is breathlessly quoting the Benghazi committee and/or right wing sources emulatorloo Apr 2015 #75

I would understand it if I read that stuff. I honestly do not remember any DUers believing djean111 Apr 2015 #77
