(20,176 posts)I consider Hillary to be a far more bloody-handed politician.
I would like him to "evolve" on gun control and support efforts to repeal laws meant to shield gun manufacturers and retailers from being sued out of existence.

Investigative journalist Lee Fang of The Intercept recently tweeted a link to a Pentagon document showing the arms sold by U.S. companies around the world in 2012.
The document shows Clinton approved a sale of over 4 million dollars ($4,195,110.40 by my count) by the Remington Arms Company of New York in 2012. This is particularly notable because Remington is the same gun maker that made the AR-15-type semiautomatic rifle (a Bushmaster XM15-E2S) used by Adam Lanza in the Sandy Hook massacre in December of 2012. Remington Arms is now the subject of the families lawsuit. Remington also made one of the assault rifles used by the San Bernardino killers, a DPMS Panther Arms A15.

No. It's not an M$M source, but they're paid to miss stories that connect the dots.
However, the document is real. The sale was real and the weapon Lanza used was really a Remington. She basically supported the companies that manufactured the guns these killers used. She, at one time, was the world's largest arms dealer. If she was so opposed, why didn't she do something about it when she was SoS?

(11,996 posts)Under Clinton's leadership, the State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation, nearly double the value of American arms sales during the same period of President George W. Bushs second term.

(685 posts)So let's use the images of bloodied children because that'll convince people to vote for Sanders.
It's not the message, it's the technique that's so fucking appalling
And you wonder why more and more people are turned off to the message....
I'm sure Senator Sanders would be oh so proud of this bunch here.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
"You should be tombstoned" - Do I really need to explain why a threat like this should be marked as abusive?

(6,145 posts)Hillary's involvement in the proliferation of cluster bombs is *cough* honorable to you then. Showing the result means bringing out the kidskin gauntlets and firing pistols at dawn or whatever it is you seem to be getting at.
It is sad that an apparently educated person could be a such fool.
But, intelligence has nothing to do with fatuity.
pa28
(6,145 posts)If you think the demonstrated results of Clinton's policy goals and activities are somehow more honorable than simply pointing them out that's really your problem.
I'd suggest dropping the moral puffery and making a clear eyed evaluation of those results as they are in the real world.

That is what great about DU - it gives poltroons like you to post anonymous poison pen letters.

I am laughing myself half to death at your useless fatuity.

(4,542 posts)And it came to the HRC group and just posted (nonsense) and provided a link spouting hysterical hypocrisy, guns, sandy hook, sales of weapons overseas...
I had to agree;
Actually it points out a perfect hypocrisy.
Sanders votes to allow gun manufactures unfettered gun sales anywhere in the US. The State Department has to approve weapons sales outside of the US.
The correct formula would have the State Department approving the kind of weapons that can be sold in the US as well.
Sanders wants any killing machine and their manufacturers to be free from any accountability, so yes, you pointed out a perfect hypocrisy.
Opps.
