Kindly provide a link to the post in which I used the word "liar" today in connection with Hillary. merrily Nov 2015 #255
Why? MaggieD Nov 2015 #257
I don't think I used the word "liar" bout her, yet you keep saying I did. So, I'd like a link. merrily Nov 2015 #259
So you want credit for only implying it x10? MaggieD Nov 2015 #260

You count the smears and lies 840high Nov 2015 #224
Who on earth can predict what you consider a lie or a smear? merrily Nov 2015 #229

Define smears. Autumn Nov 2015 #38
Here you go MaggieD Nov 2015 #41
She voted for the War in Iraq and for Wall Street bailouts. Is that a smear? reformist2 Nov 2015 #45
Yes it is the way his supporters frame it MaggieD Nov 2015 #51
Is it a smear to say that she is a hawk? Vattel Nov 2015 #56
A hawk is someone who prefers war over diplomacy MaggieD Nov 2015 #58
That definition is too simplistic. Everyone prefers diplomacy to war Vattel Nov 2015 #88
Not true MaggieD Nov 2015 #96
If Bush thought diplomacy would have achieved regime change in Iraq, Vattel Nov 2015 #102
Nope MaggieD Nov 2015 #107
I think you are smarter than that remark. You are losing the argument and so you lash out. I get it Vattel Nov 2015 #109
I don't think I'm losing the argument MaggieD Nov 2015 #112
He is even crazier than you thought. okasha Nov 2015 #141
Sanders is a hawk, too. He supports a shitty fighter aircraft--the worst in history-- MADem Nov 2015 #75
Yes that's true MaggieD Nov 2015 #80
I agree with what you are saying. And the people who use these awful slurs will be remembered MADem Nov 2015 #121
No one should be sexist and call Clinton a whore, Vattel Nov 2015 #125

I agree with that. He's not "evil" or "bad" -- he is just. a. politician. MADem Nov 2015 #161
The thing that stands out to me... MaggieD Nov 2015 #170
It is a little bit fawning, I must agree. And unquestioning. MADem Nov 2015 #188
I agree completely MaggieD Nov 2015 #191
You missed my point. Vattel Nov 2015 #137
Media hype? MADem Nov 2015 #155
Well, I disagree and so does Clinton. Vattel Nov 2015 #163
Disagree with what? We covered a lot of territory, there. nt MADem Nov 2015 #164

Don't use Sanders' words though--especially some of his written essays. MADem Nov 2015 #78

I'm going to take that as a yes. The answer to your other question is Autumn Nov 2015 #120
Yes, it does appear to be futile at this point and only causes further division in our party. DCBob Nov 2015 #61
