Sadly, I am not surprised there is no outrage over it.

And, I gather, if one is not FOR Hillary, one is a hater.

Simplistic thuggish asshole. Deliberately so. I feel there are so many dog-whistles surrounding the Hillary campaign that hopefully they will not go near dog shelters.

To those in the crowd that looked like a "certain type of person" and demanding they sow them on their jackets?

Sometimes the the card one is handing out, is handed right back to you Mr Watson. (this is a note to the jury, my comments are directed towards and regarding specifically the author of the horrid and historically antisemitic accusation he tweeted, and not directed at or implied to be directed at anybody on this site.) I would have said the same thing to any hateful skinhead or neo-nazi that spoke similarly

#HillaryMen are fathers, brothers, husbands and sons working to elect Hillary Clinton as America’s first woman president.

Peter Daou and Tom Watson founded #HillaryMen to provide actionable analysis of the 2016 campaign focusing on the gender barrier in U.S. politics. Peter is a former senior digital adviser to Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Global Initiative. He is a veteran of two presidential campaigns (Kerry '04 and Clinton '08). Tom is an author and Columbia University lecturer who advises companies and non-profits on social activism.

The #HillaryMen project is unaffiliated with Hillary for America. We encourage fact based advocacy and do not condone personal attacks against Hillary's political opponents or the media. [A note on designation: we use Secretary Clinton's first name in posts and emails following the example of her campaign.]

...but associated closely enough with Clinton that it would be reasonable to expect her to disavow that comment if she is asked about it. If she does than she's off the hook on it. Doubt that anyone will ask her about it, though someone should.

Scum of the earth they are. But somebody needs to apologize for using the word Corporate Whore because somehow it insults Hillary. Fuck these assholes.
