(15,327 posts)seems to have traits x, y and z is hardly character assassination.
Character assassination is like when Clinton said during the debate, "Bernie has always been a regular vote for the NRA."
THAT is character assassination, as well as being a lie.
And when Chelsea says, the Hillary doubles down, that a single payer system would end Medicare and the CHIP program, that is just a plain old lie.
I dislike Clinton as a candidate because I don't think she will represent me, or even cares about people like me. I don't see that as a character assassination - it is merely my opinion. I am for Bernie because he better represents me on issues I care about. I don't see that as a character assassination, either. I do honestly believe the Clintons are corrupt, and that HRC has some very serious negative baggage, a likability problem, a trust problem and a problem with being too far right on some key progressive issues. I don't think she's electable.
But none of what I said is character assassination. And now this hammer and sickle thing? What a bunch of crap.
