MSNBC Panel Mocks Clinton Campaign For Silencing Her Young Supporters

[whereisjustice]

"Now why in the world would the campaign tell their own supporters who came out, young people, college kids, why in the world would you do that? This should raise some warning flags that for Hillary Clinton that is trying to control their supporters." said Susan Page, USA Today.

1. it was late breaking
2. it is news that a Democratic Party candidate would instruct supporters to not talk to the press

Some people feel that having the Clinton Campaign telling young supporters to not talk to the press isn't news. I think this is news, but I'm older and not as comfortable with the authoritarian direction that our political system is traveling.

Secondly, I think it is important for people deciding about a candidate's disposition and governing style to have access to information when making choices. We've seen the rope lines, evasive non-answers, and hedging. Very telling of an autocratic corporate style.

I can't believe people think these are the qualities that make a great American political leader. We have the most difficult challenges in the years ahead and a candidate who is incapable of dealing with the issues in a straightforward manner for fear she may make Wall Street bankers a bit uncomfortable with the inconvenient truths.

On edit: I forgot this part from the original post at LBN:

From the you tube comments:

Everything ██████ ███ ███████ ██ is █████ ████ ██ ██████ ███ fine. The █████ ███████ ████ Government ██████ ████ knows █████ █████ ███ best █████.= Hillary......

1. CLINTON: "I Won't Let Republicans Take Us Backwards" is the MSNBC chyron. Sounds good to me.

Not sure what this one MSNBC person's "critique" is of Clinton to draw such a case of the vapors?

2. Huuummm, posted by a "Someone other than Hillary".

[whereisjustice]

17. Yep, I called MSNBC, sent them the script, coached the panel, directed the segment, posted

the youtube, reported it here and paid everyone off with funds from my foundation.

I think it turned out looking very natural, don't you?

[Thinkingabout]

18. Where is the proof other than a panel talking on MSNBC?

3. Thank you for reposting this late breaking news. I hadn't seen it before

What's doubly ironic is that the Hillary supporters who were dissing your LBN post,
were doing the same thing that the MSNBC panel was referring to, being hyper-
controlling & fixated on her narrow narrative of being the "inevitable" one.

5. The Dali Llama, chosen at... well, ever since she was a Director at Walmart

9. Oh yes, the Wakmart era.....

.......Hillary, quote: "I'm always proud of Wal-Mart and what we do and the way we do it better than anybody else." Yes, yes, I wonder how many DUers were forced to worked in that dystopia when the economy went in the crapper in 2008.

4. Understandable, if they are hired.

After all, if you are running an AstroTurf campaign behind a facade of grassroots, you don't want the hired help blabbing to the press.

[99th_Monkey]

6. That's what I got from it.

Oh my, what a difference from another candidate, who's name I
will not mention, who spends less on hiring people than most any
other candidate, both in terms of real dollars, an as a percentage
of their total budget.

[whereisjustice]

11. God, don't tell me Hillary is running an atroturf campaign. I considered that these might have been

paid supporters but can't believe her campaign is that desperate to find young people willing to rally around her.

Then again, times are hard and education costs are through the roof, so maybe the kids just need the cash.

Clinton doesn't exactly offer much in the way of change or opportunity to America's young people.

If they are paid supporters, I guess they can collect their pay and go see Bernie and not have to worry about being micromanaged by a staged production.

[En Garde]

15. Don't you remember when Hillary did just that? The campaign planted young voters to ask her

... canned questions. The Clintons are shameless.

[SoapBox]

7. The campaign doesn't want anyone breaking away from the narrative...

What narrative?

She's roped off or has "invitational" conversations only.

Not much narrative going on.

[Hekate]

8. You're "older"?Yet you don't know the utter savagery with which Hillary has been treated by the MSM?

That "raises some questions" about your powers of observation.

If I were she I would not trust the MSM as far as I could throw them, and I would tell anyone who worked for me to parse every word when speaking to the media.

That's not "authoritarian," that's just learned caution.

[whereisjustice]

10. When I want an example of out of control media savagery, I'll argue Obama has had it MUCH worse and

handled it MUCH better. Between two imperfect choices I'll take Obama's humility over Clinton's arrogance.

It is because I am older I've seen the evolution of the Clinton corporate authoritarian style to politics.

I didn't like it then, I don't like it now. It's the arrogance that gave us NAFTA and Wall Street crime which nearly destroyed the last vestiges of the middle class in America.

Clinton owes much of her success to MSM and her bottomless pit of Wall Street money.

And today you can't spit across the room without hitting a bubbleheaded talk show host who calls her "the Democratic Party nominee".

So, don't lecture me about MSM savagery. Clinton is a product of a MSM love fest.

Without the MSM Clinton would have nothing, zero name recognition. And the Democratic Party would have united behind a candidate that actually gives a shit that American middle class is being sold off to Wall Street and Asia for pennies on the dollar by the likes of the Clintons.

The only question about my power of observation is how it became so much sharper than when I was younger. I wish I knew then, what I know now.

On edit - and by the way, she hates MSM so much she's about to dump millions of dollars on campaign ads that run on - can you guess?

That's right, MSM.

Shocking.

14. I too am older, and agree with all you say.

There is a good reason why older has long been equated with wiser.

[Evergreen Emerald]

12. They did not report the facts.

I did not see the "story." I just saw RW pundits attacking Clinton. I do not believe anything that comes out of the mouths of these people.

I will wait to see what actually happened.

[En Garde]

16. Steve Kornacki, Susan Page and Jonathan Capehart are not right wing pundits.

[Mika]

20. Susan Page made her career chasing down Bill C's dick stories.

Also, I think her new surgical makeover/ dental bridgework has given her a speech impediment.

[MrMickeysMom]

13. Perhaps one of the bobble heads answered this the best...

Jersey City was known for paying people 50 bucks to hold signs AND not talk to the press. Immediately after this statement, he says, "That wasn't happening here"… Did he forget to hold up his sign?

19. Can a MSNBC intern answer questions about MSNBC?

Maybe the MSNBC intern can answer policy questions. I doubt that.
