37. That is SOP for anything Clinton
Sat Nov 4, 2017, 01:38 PM
Nov 2017

Half assed article written. Gets posted on DU, gets knee jerk reactions and condemnation for Hillary. Article proven to be untrue or more to the story, Knee jerkers double down or ignore it.

Ex headline: Hillary lets cute kittens die in house fire. Story goes on about how she didn't save 2 kittens from a fire.

reaction of some on DU would be. How could she not save them! cold hearted, if they were a banker's kitten....

Next day it gets reported that Hillary ran into the building and saved 20 kittens but 2 kittens ran off just as the roof collapsed. Clinton ran out of the building with the 20 kittens she already had and barely escaped death. She is also paying vet fees for the kittens she saved and is saddened she couldn't save them all.

reactions of some on DU: Whose kittens were they? A bankers? Must have belonged to Kissenger, she will do anything to support him. Why she even had her picture taken with him to prove it. She's only paying for their vet bills because she wants to be on the board of the Humane Society.
