...as well as putting people first and reforming welfare in order to make it a second chance, not a way of life.

Why does Daily Kos allow less Hillary-hate diaries than DU? [View all] ericson00 Aug 2015 OP

Before anyone posts here they should ask themselves: SonderWoman Aug 2015 #1

Great advice. KMOD Aug 2015 #42

This site has been hijacked IMO MaggieD Aug 2015 #45

so go to the ask the administrators and tell Skinner that he's behaved disgracefully cali Aug 2015 #73

I agree.... BooScout Aug 2015 #75

No, the site hasn't been hijacked at all, you are outnumbered by people with different opinions. sibelian Aug 2015 #122

No, that doesn't matter in the slightest. sibelian Aug 2015 #121

"Hillary-hate"? Trash thread. n/t winter is coming Aug 2015 #2

using cooked up "scandals" that made hay but yield nothing to attack Democrats (not socialists) ericson00 Aug 2015 #5

I have seen absolutely zero threads on any of those subjects. Maedhros Aug 2015 #13

Could you link to a few threads attacking her on any of those issues? AgingAmerican Aug 2015 #24

Looks like you are the one "cooking up scandals" since no one here has brought those things up LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #132

oh yes they have ericson00 Aug 2015 #133

Those are links to politifact and the Chicago Tribune. Where on DU has she been smeared with those LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #135

actually if you read some of the posts others made (you can read them, i'm not calling out) ericson00 Aug 2015 #137

OK, link to some such posts here on DU. I'll wait LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #140

You mean like these? Le Taz Hot Aug 2015 #147

I guess you've missed the last 20-30 years. Just this morning a Sanders supporter posted... George II Aug 2015 #77

if I could KNR a single post, I would ericson00 Aug 2015 #107

So would I, ericson00. calimary Aug 2015 #117

No, that's not "Hillary-hate", George sibelian Aug 2015 #123

I think you need to post it in Teen Idol Magazine tularetom Aug 2015 #4

Chris Matthews dishonoured the Clintons for most of his career and attacked Gore in 2000 ericson00 Aug 2015 #8

You're betraying your conservative bona fides, here. Maedhros Aug 2015 #16

Jesus no shit! ibegurpard Aug 2015 #21

Straight out of the Republican playbook. Maedhros Aug 2015 #22

the political effect of Welfare Reform was very, very helpful ericson00 Aug 2015 #27

yeah, nothing like kicking poor people in the ass to keep Rupublicons quiet. Kip Humphrey Aug 2015 #35

A lot of those people were lifted out of poverty anyway during the Clinton years ericson00 Aug 2015 #38

Save the "Oh, but it could have been so much worse". It is the rationale of the fearful. Truth is, Kip Humphrey Aug 2015 #41

Indeed, Democrats should just adopt Republican policies, then we'd win ALL the red states! LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #136

So the ends justify the means? frylock Aug 2015 #55

Political effect before people, you say. azmom Aug 2015 #56

Destroying society to win seats. sibelian Aug 2015 #125

Hmmmmmm AgingAmerican Aug 2015 #29

in Bill's own words it was ending welfare as we know it and ultimately, it was a disaster cali Aug 2015 #70

wow! wendylaroux Aug 2015 #97

"a second chance, not a way of life" - well, there we go. sibelian Aug 2015 #124

that was actually one of Clinton's campaign platform promises ericson00 Aug 2015 #131

Oh look, someone backing a Republican policy (welfare "reform") also backing Hillary LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #134

if you either watch Clinton's old ads ericson00 Aug 2015 #138

So you want me to use the opinion of the guy that wanted to pass it to prove that it should be LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #141

Good question,there was a time when right wing sources sufrommich Aug 2015 #6

the only time RW sources should be allowed is to call out their BS ericson00 Aug 2015 #7

I agree, using Tucker Carlson eg, to slam Bernie Sanders with a smear campaign, passed here now sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #14

I never used Tucker Carlson, etc. tho people here have used Barney Frank, ericson00 Aug 2015 #20

Frank is right, he too was considered to be unelectable, a comic from SNL? UNELECTABLE! sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #28

Barney Frank on SNL? Don't you mean Al Franken? bettyellen Aug 2015 #31

Yes, you are right. But the same applies to Barney, who was supposed to be unelectable sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #33

Barney Frank was elected in the one of the most progressive states in America ericson00 Aug 2015 #36

You have not responded to the FACT that your claim re DK is totally false, proven in sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #40

More electable in Vermont perhaps. okasha Aug 2015 #68

Except fot the fact that he has climbed to 25% while Hillary has dropped from 60+ to 49 LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #139

When Barney was serving on Beacon Hill and living w/his mother, everyone knew he was gay. MADem Aug 2015 #127

so now The New Yorker, Mother Jones, The NYT, Slate, Salon, etc are right wing sources? cali Aug 2015 #74

Disruptive Meta demmiblue Aug 2015 #9

this is not a meta. This relates to our primary ericson00 Aug 2015 #10

Exactly. KMOD Aug 2015 #12

thanks KMOD ericson00 Aug 2015 #39

Except that it's totally false. Daily Kos has dozens of diaries on both the issues the OP claims sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #44

The fact that so many seem upset about this thread, KMOD Aug 2015 #47

Wow, you have been told that lies are contained in this OP about the ADMINS of this site sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #62

H supporters still think they can dictate the narrative....smh. artislife Aug 2015 #119

You could say the same about Hillary posts demwing Aug 2015 #116

Well when you use DK as a model for this forum, you instantly lose liberals who are more than sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #18

I don't think I'm allowed to single out any person in this post ericson00 Aug 2015 #23

Truth, ericson, I think DU okasha Aug 2015 #66

+1000...n/t BooScout Aug 2015 #80

Still waiting for the 'Hillary Hate' links. Otherwise this is META, it is complaining about DU sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #30

if someone links, KMOD Aug 2015 #46

What? If someone links to DK diaries proving the OP wrong, how on earth is that a callout? sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #49

how about recent ones, like in the past 2.5 months ericson00 Aug 2015 #76

good thing I don't fall for the bait ericson00 Aug 2015 #50

"Private prisons" is a "cooked-up scandal?" Maedhros Aug 2015 #11

sorry, its been debunked ericson00 Aug 2015 #15

The ones complaining most about criticism AgingAmerican Aug 2015 #115

Ask Kos ibegurpard Aug 2015 #17

Hello? --> Daily Kos: "Private Prison Corporations Stand With Hillary Clinton" 99th_Monkey Aug 2015 #25

Lol, well there goes that claim! sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #34

Your OP is a 'cooked up scandal' AgingAmerican Aug 2015 #26

Why? Because DailyKos doesn't want to lose in 2016! (nt) Herman4747 Aug 2015 #32

Apparently they DO want to lose since they have 'allowed' the facts re Private Prisons to be sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #37

Well lets be clear that criticism of HRC is f7ne with me but some of the posters here go beyond hrmjustin Aug 2015 #52

Agreed. okasha Aug 2015 #71

Or for trump. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #72

I don't think Trump will.make it to the nom. okasha Aug 2015 #84

I'd give Trump a 55/45 chance of the nomination ericson00 Aug 2015 #103

There are a lot of noisy skeletons in Trump's closet, okasha Aug 2015 #108

they're not gonna get him on mafia, the mafia is mostly dead, and if they're not, ericson00 Aug 2015 #110

The old Mafia, no. okasha Aug 2015 #113

Can you help classify which of these are valid criticisms and which are made-up bullshit? LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #142

I'll never use the term "hero" in conjunction with a politician. cherokeeprogressive Aug 2015 #53

but I and many others will for American patriotic public servants ericson00 Aug 2015 #54

Except the people they "put first" tularetom Aug 2015 #58

Your last sentence should be the gold standard for DU. procon Aug 2015 #57

Very well stated. Thank you. William769 Aug 2015 #63

Hey, thanks. okasha Aug 2015 #109

You might get more people to agree with your POV at ThirdWay.org. Why not leave and go there? leveymg Aug 2015 #89

at least 40% of this site supports Hillary ericson00 Aug 2015 #90

not nearly 40% according to du polls. cali Aug 2015 #92

where r the DU polls? got any? ericson00 Aug 2015 #98

of course they're not scientific, but hundreds of duers vote in them. cali Aug 2015 #100

I can't link you. I'm on.my tablet and the search function doesn't show on my screen cali Aug 2015 #104

Actually, it's more like 80/20. But, reality may not be so important to you. leveymg Aug 2015 #94

btw, that should be 'fewer' in your op title, not 'less' cali Aug 2015 #91

I'm especially outraged by the swarm of DUers accusing Hillary and her supporters delrem Aug 2015 #93

Your outrage is misdirected. It's HRC supporters who have smeared Sanders with a racist meme leveymg Aug 2015 #96
