In reply to the discussion: The reason that Hillary is skittish about having a debate in New York. [View all]Uncle Joe
(65,218 posts)99. Apparently you don't see my point,
"victimhood" has nothing to do with it insofar as Bernie is concerned, this is about the people having the best information to make a well informed decision.
I knew Hillary's point of view before I posted this OP, but I don't believe she is playing it "cool."
Greenpeace Response to HRC: She Conflates Greenpeace w/ Sanders Campaign
WASHINGTON - Following the release of a video showing Secretary Hillary Clinton losing her patience with Greenpeace activist Eva Resnick-Day, the Clinton campaign released a statement saying that the campaign has not taken a dollar from oil and gas industry PACs or corporations. The simple fact is that the Sanders campaign is misleading voters with their attacks.
In response to Secretary Clintons statement, Greenpeace Democracy Campaign Director Molly Dorozenski issued the following response:
Secretary Clinton cannot ignore the voices of activists asking her to reject fossil fuel money, or explain away the more than one million dollars she takes from fossil fuel lobbyists. We would welcome a statement from Clinton saying that she plans to stop taking this money going forward to prove to young people like Eva that shes listening to them, not her biggest donors.
Secretary Clinton is conflating Greenpeace with the Sanders campaign, but we are an independent organization, and our research team has assessed the contributions to all Presidential candidates. We have not and will not endorse candidates. Earlier this year, we asked both Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders to sign our pledge to #fixdemocracy, and while Sanders signed, Clinton did not. We intend to continue to challenge all candidates to listen to the people, not their biggest donors.

I disagree, Joe. Arm-chair generals and Monday morning quarterbacks always have 20-20 hindsight.
