The Right Baits the Left to Turn Against Hillary Clinton

[onehandle]

WASHINGTON — A Twitter post recently caught the eye of Bill McKibben, the environmental advocate and godfather of the Keystone XL pipeline protests. It included an image from “The Simpsons” showing Homer and his family basking in mountains of cash in their living room, followed by a report on Hillary Rodham Clinton’s appearing at a fund-raiser with a lobbyist from the Keystone fight.

Mr. McKibben’s environmental organization, 350.org, has been trying to raise awareness about the ties it sees between lobbyists for the oil pipeline and former aides to Mrs. Clinton. He promptly shared the post with his 150,000 Twitter followers, and the reaction was immediate.

“You expect different from a Clinton?” one person responded on Twitter. And from another: “Did you need another reason not to vote for Hillary Clinton?” Lost in the response was the source of the offending tweet. It was not another environmental organization or even a liberal challenger to Mrs. Clinton. Instead, it was a conservative group called America Rising PAC, which is trying, with laserlike focus, to weaken the woman who almost everyone believes will be the Democratic Party’s candidate for president in 2016.

1. This shit is so funny!

I have been a leftist against Hillary and Bill since my 1980's Arkansas days, but nice try.

10. I lost a brother over defending bill. My loathing was earned by them.

I find it incredible the lack of responsibility here. They won't take it for their actions. Bill only felt half the impulse to apologize for his attacks of BLM. He's half a man in my opinion for what he's done and how he acts. That he earned.

11. I disowned a friend over defending Hillary in 2008.

This "friend" was a former bush voter (9/11, gassed the Kurds yadda yadda) who was a hardcore Obama fan. Used to send me copies of his donations every time he sent money to PO.

I was an HRC supporter.

Anyway, he sent me some viral email of HRC standing in front of a COUNTRYWIDE banner - the banner was partially obscured with HRC blocking the "O" and the rest obscured so as to spell that loathsome term.

I let him have it. With both barrels. I went in to the VRWC and twenty years of right wing media brainwashing people in to believing the lies and bullshit. And JUST WAIT till the same people get their hands on PBO and HIS family.

I pretty much stopped watching Olbermann over his ridiculous assertion HRC was trying to foment an assassination of BO.

The beginning of the end, for me, for the Clintons was sending Chelsea out with her ham-handed half-hearted juvenile attack on BS claiming he was going to repeal Medicare. And then the "free stuff" and the Brock bullshit.

I've had enough.

2. Yep. It has nothing to do with her own policies and actions. Nothing whatsoever. rofl

Crazy stuff gets in print these days... Crazy.

8. Considering Hillary is a right winger, I think you're right. She's turning people off in droves

[MFM008]

9. If you believe HRC is a right winger

you have either fallen for the scheme or your working for the republicans.

12. For the few Hillary supporters left, yeah they probably do.

On the other hand, it's kind of unfair to blame her difficulties with yet another Presidential election on the right, isn't it? I mean, she HAS already lost once. We've seen this before, and it basically is following the same pattern.

[AgingAmerican]

13. Yeah, that must be it...
