Also, if we are being honest here, Dan Rather WAS fake but accurate. W did cheat and not show up for most of his guard service.

Maybe the fact checker here is right.

Looks awfully bad in light of the deplorables comment. Just saying.

And I wonder what their excuse is when she says that she tells the public one thing and her private donors another.

She calls Saudis and the likes ‘sand-iggers’...it's in print...

She calls Mexicans ‘taco bowls’...it's in print...

This is important. It's every bit as damning as "Sheets" Byrd talking about the "white" variety. Do you have the link to the written versions of these? Where do they appear in print?

If so, let's get it to Drudge.

FReegards!

She hasn’t talked about being our champion recently.

There was the question at last Sunday night's debate about being everyone's President.


Cooper: We have a question from James Carter.

Cooper: That question begins for Mr. Trump.

[snip]

Clinton: Well, 67% of the people voted to reelect me when I ran for my second term, and I was very proud and very humbled by that. Mr. Carter, I have tried my entire life to do what I can to support children and families. You know, right out of law school I went to work for the children's defense fund. Donald talks a lot about the 30 years I’ve been in public service. I’m proud of that. You know, I started off as a young lawyer working against discrimination against African-American children and schools and in the criminal justice system. I worked to make sure that kids with disabilities could get a public education, something I cared very much about. I worked with Latinos, one of my favorite jobs in politics was down in south Texas registering Latino citizens to be able to vote. So I have a deep devotion, to use your absolutely correct words, to making sure that every American feels like he or she has a place in our country.

And I think when you look at the letters that I get, a lot of people are worried that maybe they wouldn't have a place in Donald Trump's America. They write me and one woman wrote me about her son, Felix. She adopted him from Ethiopia when he was a toddler. He is 10 years old now. This is the only country he has ever known. And he listens to Donald on TV and he said to his mother one day: ‘will he send me back to Ethiopia if he gets elected?’ You know children listen to what is being said to go back to the very, very first question. There is a lot of fear. In fact teachers and parents are calling it the Trump effect. Bullying is up and a lot of people are feeling uneasy, a lot of kids are expressing their concerns. First and foremost, I will do everything I can to reach out to everybody. Democrats, Republicans, independents, and people across our country. If you don't vote for me, I still want to be your president. I want to be the best president I can be for everyone.


I'm not sure if there is any material here. Certainly, Clinton did not discuss discussing rapists in court, nor did she mention working on the Democrat Watergate team investigating impeachment of Richard Nixon.

I read the entire email and it is obvious that Podesta was referring to the use of the phrase “everyday Americans” in a hiLIARy speech. The entire speech is included in the body of the email. Podesta essentially stated that they should insert the word “everyday” before the word “Americans” at least once. He identifies which sentence he believes should have the word added. The responder agrees and adds the word.

True but it forces ‘them’ to acknowledge Wikileaks and perhaps LIVs will check them out. Also legitimizes the emails.

Expect Dems to counter with fake emails, then correct the fake emails as fake. Spy, counter Spy.

Trump’s followers are ‘deplorable’ and Bernie’s are a ‘basket of losers’...

Together we’re more than half the people in the United States. I’m guessing the witch like the phony ‘elites’ - the thugs and goons of DC...

Why is that less damning?


Because it is arguing over marketing phrases as opposed to saying negative things about “everyday americans”.

Think about it. If your wife found out you said, “I don’t like my bride” She’d probably have a fit. But this falls into that old joke about commas:

“Let’s eat grandma. Let’s eat, grandma. Commas save lives”

Lazy posters and email writers leave all sorts of punctuation out. I used the phrase about “my bride” above because in my family, we prefer the phrase “my wife” to “my bride” So, when I say, “I don’t like my bride” what I mean is, “I don’t like the phrase ‘my bride’ when talking about my wife. She was my bride, and now she is my wife.”

This is the wrong thing for us to attack. We will look silly to people who are not already all in for Trump. There is plenty of other low hanging fruit to use.

At least they admit the emails are true. Onward.

I would hazard a guess that Hillary does hate us
“BASKET OF DEPLORABLES”! (To “deplore” IS to “hate”.)

Deplorable Twinkie

Well, reading it in context, I have to agree it is the phrase.

What phase would she want to use instead?

they are just trying to: ....in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry....

A few years ago Democrats put out the BIG LIE - - that if you didn't have the power to change things, why bother talking about it or fretting... It worked with a lot of the more stupid Democrats... and some of the 'not too stupid'..

So, why do you think she wouldn’t like that phrase?

Sorry, I actually read the email and agree the phrase was hated.

I did what I complain of others doing; not reading the friggen article.
