40. So you are attacking the source but actually have no evidence that the story is false.

I am curious. Do you think that it's false that HRC is a supporter of GMO's or that it's ok that she is a supporter of GMO's?

Or are you more interested in see how many followers a blog has?

Here are some other sources if you are really interested:

http://guardianlv.com/2014/07/hillary-rodham-clinton-supports-gmos/

I am not sure who you trust but I listed the first 4. I could have gone farther but I doubt it makes a difference. If you support GMO's then step forward and enter the debate.
