(5,761 posts)15. Nice try?
I'll take the fact checking sites over blogs.
She's against KXL you say? Ohhhh you mean her recent decision to be against it?
Meanwhile....
A former Keystone XL lobbyist just joined Team Hillary

Hillary Clintons newest campaign consultant is Jeffrey Berman, the strategist credited with her 2008 primary defeat and who, in the time since, has worked as a lobbyist for TransCanada, the company behind the Keystone XL pipeline. Environmentalists have a right to be concerned.
Whooops!
Or was it the whole entire thing of her refusing to take a stance on KXL for so long? http://www.motherjones.com/blue-marble/2015/07/hillary-clinton-still-wont-take-position-keystone-xl
Or was it this? http://uspolitics.about.com/od/CampaignsElections/a/Hillary-Clinton-On-The-Keystone-Xl-Pipeline.htm
During a 2010 speaking engagement, Clinton appeared to be supportive of the pipeline from Canada and told an audience that her
Department of State was inclined to" give TransCanada approval for its project.
This is what Clinton said about the Keystone XL pipeline in response to a question at the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco event:
"So as I say, we've not yet signed off on it. But we are inclined to do so and we are for several reasons going back to one of your original questions we're either going to be dependent on dirty oil from the Gulf or dirty oil from Canada. And until we can get our act together as a country and figure out that clean, renewable energy is in both our economic interests and the interests of our planet, I mean, I don't think it will come as a surprise to anyone how deeply disappointed the President and I are about our inability to get the kind of legislation through the Senate that the United States was seeking."

Again, that pie chart only shows undefined % - are those % of total donations or % of total donors?
