Hillary Clinton
Showing Original Post only (View all)Exposing Facts About Fanatical ‘Pro-Bernie Sanders’ Blogger H.A. Goodman (HRC GP) [View all]
If you followed the Democratic primary at all, odds are youve seen at least one article written by a person named H.A. Goodman. Over the last year, Goodman has spammed the Internet with around 156 articles (I actually went through his archives and counted them) and several videos, either in support of Sanders or bashing Clinton. That averages out to 13 a month, every single month on one subject. And by one subject, I mean one subject. Looking through his archives from June 2015-June 2016, I saw maybe 4 or 5 (if that) articles where he wrote about something that didnt pertain to Sanders or Clinton. As a writer myself, I find that absolutely ridiculous.
Especially from someone who considers himself a liberal or a progressive who didnt seem to find the need to cover Donald Trump much at all. One would think that, even as pro-Bernie as Goodman claims he is, he might have found it important to call out Trumps belittling of veterans; sexism; racism; bigotry; calls to ban all Muslims; or to address anything one of the most vile candidates in modern U.S. history has said and done over that same 12-month timespan.
Either way, I do think its valid to question the true pro-Sanders roots of H.A. Goodman. You see, I also looked at the archives of everything else hes written and not one time prior to April 29, 2015 did Mr. Goodman write an article about Bernie Sanders. Most people who followed politics knew for weeks (if not months) before Bernie Sanders officially announced, that he was probably going to run for president. Meanwhile, H.A. Goodman was promoting practically everyone but Bernie Sanders as an effective challenger to Clinton. Here are a few of the headlines he wrote before April 29, 2015:
Now, maybe its just me, but I find it a little peculiar that this Bernie superfan, of sorts, somehow seemed to want a whole lot of other people to challenge Hillary Clinton but Sanders. I mean, Jim Webb? Rand Paul? Before he ever mentioned Sanders name once, he pushed for an actual Republican to be our next president and a former Republican as well yet not a whisper of Bernie Sanders was anywhere to be found. That seems rather odd.
