In reply to the discussion: Calling Hillary Clinton Supporters On DU "Operatives" Is Ugly [View all]tularetom
(23,664 posts)or policy statements. So I decided to enumerate the different types of comments which may or may not, constitute this anti-hillary garbage.
Questions about "emailgate" may or may not be anti-hillary garbage.
Questions about her vote for the IWR definitely are not.
Questions or comments about the thinly disguised racist primary campaign the clintons waged in 2008 are not.
References to her disloyalty to President Obama over Syria are not.
Comments regarding her personal veracity ("I came under sniper fire in Bosnia" "We were dead broke when we left the white house"
aren't anti-Hillary garbage.
Comments about her expressed admiration for war criminals (Kissinger) and regular criminals (Goldman Sachs et al) are not.
Comments about Monica Lewinsky, Vince Foster, Whitewater, or any other scandals from the Clinton presidential era are probably anti-Hillary garbage. Unless they are true, in which case they may not be.
If she wants to be defined by her own words and/or actions, she should announce her candidacy and tell us in very specific terms, why she wants to be POTUS and what she proposes to accomplish if elected. And deal with the criticism that follows. Otherwise, she is going to continue to be defined by others. And those others may not always be so kind as we here on DU are so she needs to toughen up.
