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

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
