Or is it just a word you throw around like a rock in a rock fight? Just a crude little weapon?

Media criticism is not "conspiracy." Try to understand that.

Would you just let it pass?

I think not.

I'm so sure Hillary and the media are holding back out of "concern for the party"... And that is why every.single."scandal".coming.from.them.has.been.falsely.manufactured.

"Unqualified" (sexism), didn't March with Martin (lying about core evidence of his civil rights leadership) and chairs thrown (physically violent Berners) immediately come to mind. If she and the MSM were trying to avoid scandalizing him, why do they manufacture these falsehoods - because they have nothing to resort to except FABRICATIONS.

Keep drinking the kool-aid.
