She is saner than Trump so we must vote for here because Trump is evil, or maybe it is act to get us to think that so we vote for Hillary.

FACTCHECK: No, Hillary Did NOT Get Money from the �Fossil Fuel Industry� [View all] baldguy Apr 2016 OP

One of the most persistent lies this campaign: Hillary's campaign is funded by "corporate money." DanTex Apr 2016 #1

Blatantly FALSE FreakinDJ Apr 2016 #4

It is false, and yet Hillary-bashers keep pushing it. Do they even know it's false? DanTex Apr 2016 #8

Your statements are Willfull Denial of reality FreakinDJ Apr 2016 #16

It is a fact that corporations don't donate to campaigns. DanTex Apr 2016 #18

Understand Repeating a LIE here on DU doesn't necessarily work too well FreakinDJ Apr 2016 #31

Those donations are from employees, it's individual money not corporate money. DanTex Apr 2016 #33

Hillary Clinton�s Biggest Campaign Bundlers Are Fossil Fuel Lobbyists polly7 Apr 2016 #42

Those are individuals, who bundle contributions from other individuals. DanTex Apr 2016 #55

Oh ffs. polly7 Apr 2016 #63

Not only can I read, but I know the difference between a person and a corporation. DanTex Apr 2016 #66

'Bundlers' with corporate ties collecting the contributions from their top polly7 Apr 2016 #72

The bundlers are individuals, bundling money from individuals. DanTex Apr 2016 #112

Yeah, no shit. These happen to be 'corporations with fossil fuel ties', whom she says she's polly7 Apr 2016 #134

Again, there are no corporations, there are only individuals. DanTex Apr 2016 #135

No, it's not lies. nt. polly7 Apr 2016 #136

Man, I feel sorry for you CoffeeCat Apr 2016 #130

Another personal attack. Meh. DanTex Apr 2016 #131

It's not a personal attack. It's an observation CoffeeCat Apr 2016 #133

Thank you for trying DanTEX riversedge Apr 2016 #43

For trying? He's just repeating an easily disproved lie, over and over. Marr Apr 2016 #75

Not one single thing. nt. polly7 Apr 2016 #79

Dantex tried to educate you but your bubble is in the way. riversedge Apr 2016 #106

Dantex better go back to school before he tries to 'educate' anyone. polly7 Apr 2016 #108

Oh my. I certainly wouldn't want him for a teacher. Phlem Apr 2016 #137

Oh excuse me - Lobbiest are the New Individuals FreakinDJ Apr 2016 #47

Those are also individual donations and not corporate donations. DanTex Apr 2016 #49

I'm sure many "Individuals" hire Lobbiest to make donations for them FreakinDJ Apr 2016 #60

It is illegal to hire anyone to make donations for you. DanTex Apr 2016 #64

Like I said - try finding some one who doesn't use Google FreakinDJ Apr 2016 #69

If they were truly just from everyday individuals... MoonchildCA Apr 2016 #91

No individual can contribute more than $2700, "everyday" or otherwise. DanTex Apr 2016 #97

This message was self-deleted by its author beastie boy Apr 2016 #175

I wonder EdwardBernays Apr 2016 #61

All those donations are from individuals, not corporations. Bizarre that Bernie fans can't DanTex Apr 2016 #62

bullshit EdwardBernays Apr 2016 #73

Bundled donations are still bundled from individuals. There is zero corporate money there. DanTex Apr 2016 #88

Again bullshit EdwardBernays Apr 2016 #124

The money comes from individuals. It is not corporate money. DanTex Apr 2016 #127

Post removed Post removed Apr 2016 #129

That's his M.O. Phlem Apr 2016 #139

Nice. Just calling people names and saying it's false definitely proves your point. revbones Apr 2016 #101

Federal law proves my point. Corporations do not donate to campaigns. DanTex Apr 2016 #102

So those donations just disappeared eh? revbones Apr 2016 #103

There were never any corporate donations to begin with. They didn't have to disappear. DanTex Apr 2016 #104

ROFL revbones Apr 2016 #117

This KingFlorez Apr 2016 #9

Exactly. It used to be Mitt Romney who believed "corporations are people" but now DanTex Apr 2016 #13

Worse. They're saying that people are the corporations they work for. baldguy Apr 2016 #81

Yes, it is worse. Romney was at least talking about the business owners who get the profits. DanTex Apr 2016 #84

Go for it. Phlem Apr 2016 #140

Yeah... astrophuss42 Apr 2016 #12

They paid her millions in direct income for speeches. That's BETTER than donations. think Apr 2016 #21

Yes, the unfounded accusations of bribery are a close second. DanTex Apr 2016 #26

I made no claim of bribery. It's perfectly legal for Hillary to take millions from corporations think Apr 2016 #36

Good for you. Now if the rest of the Bernie fans drop the conspiracy theories.... DanTex Apr 2016 #39

So you're happy Hillary took millions in cold hard cash from banks that were under investigation think Apr 2016 #71

I don't begrudge her for giving paid speeches, any more than I begrudge any of the other DanTex Apr 2016 #82

It's not THAT she is giving paid speeches but rather to WHOM she is making the paid speeches to think Apr 2016 #93

They don't care, they'll keep splitting hairs, the OP is pitiful and they added an update. lol Jefferson23 Apr 2016 #28

They can donate to her super-PACs though... oh and Victory Funds... revbones Apr 2016 #100

What is inaccurate in either of the two articles? baldguy Apr 2016 #15

Nah, I'm not playing your game. bobbobbins01 Apr 2016 #23

Then it should be easy to refute with facts. baldguy Apr 2016 #34

I do. And so do you. bobbobbins01 Apr 2016 #45

You can't refute, so you resort to ad hominem. baldguy Apr 2016 #53

No, the ad hominem attack was just labeling you for what you are. bobbobbins01 Apr 2016 #67

You still got nothing to prove your alligations. baldguy Apr 2016 #76

Nothing except all the links that others provided? bobbobbins01 Apr 2016 #86

The links using OpenSecrets as the source? Just like the articles in the OP? baldguy Apr 2016 #109

Links as requested thesquanderer Apr 2016 #152

I see. You're not looking for facts - you're looking for spin. baldguy Apr 2016 #171
