141. I didn't downsize HRC's big event. So it isn't "all on me", as you claim.

Only 1,000 attend Clinton event [View all] left-of-center2012 Sep 2015 OP

Wow, what a great article--really good read! MADem Sep 2015 #1

You do think it was nice of left-of-center2012 to post it though. DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2015 #4

Most certainly--though that wasn't the poster's intent, it matters not. MADem Sep 2015 #12

In this instance I will just judge the results and not the poster's intent. DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2015 #14

If it was by invitation, why did they downsize venue the day before? Divernan Sep 2015 #83

The "Atheist Reporter" got three RSVPs? OilemFirchen Sep 2015 #91

My point, exactly! - event was NOT by invite to HRC supporters only! Divernan Sep 2015 #104

You're asking me to take the "atheist voter" as dispositive? nt MADem Sep 2015 #107

Proof it was not by invitation only to previously committed HRC followers. Divernan Sep 2015 #116

That's not really proof. It's an invited person providing a link. nt MADem Sep 2015 #117

Jesus, can't you even take the time to read the link you so portentously gave me? MADem Sep 2015 #118

They provided all the information needed to show up;RSVP not marked required. Divernan Sep 2015 #123

Uh, look at YOUR link, with the RSVP in the red bar. Keep struggling if you'd like. MADem Sep 2015 #125

God... you are just choosing NOT to believe that this was an open event. Fawke Em Sep 2015 #130

I was responding to the poster's false assertion that the event was NOT RSVP. MADem Sep 2015 #136

It was not RSVP. I was there. bunnies Sep 2015 #181
