In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton Called Obama To Say She Wasn't Trying To Attack Him [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)55. MSM is paid for sowing division. Fortunately, PBO and HRC live on a realm of experience that allows
them to have differences of opinion and not need any flattery.
Axelrod responded more to the GOP being emboldened by seizing on a complex difference of opinion on something that may or may not have ever come to pass, to urge a war now. It's so predictable, they will scour for a source or edit to make their case for going to war, always.
Too many people fall for it just as it's intended by RW media - meaning MSM. We have people jumping on the outrage train and posting videos from 2008 that HRC since explained why she was wrong and how she grew to value PBO's method.
One poster apologized for doing so as it was leading those who saw it to bash HRC unfairly. That takes integrity, to give up the kudos of the crowd like that.
We have threads full of people now saying they will vote third party or not vote on DU. Based on errors, hyped and unverified stories.
Often from sources that consistently disparage Obama or Democrats. It's a lot easier to go with the crowd, but that media crowd is well paid. We must think for ourselves.
If not, the RW mission is fulfilled and we lose.

How can if be a 'failure' if HRC admits she doesn't know if arming Syrian rebels would've worked?
