'Ban Bossy' campaign started by Hillary Clinton donor -- ahead of 2016 run

Make no mistake, there is always a deeper agenda whenever a seemingly innocent campaign pops up overnight.

On Sunday, Facebook's Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg launched a new campaign, known as 'Ban Bossy,' which would - as you can imagine - encourage people to ban the word “bossy.”

....Sandberg is an ally of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016.

Sandberg worked as former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers' chief of staff under President Bill Clinton during his second term and maxed out in personal campaign contributions to Hillary Clinton in 2007 and 2008. She also donates almost exclusively to female Democratic candidates.

In 2012, Sandberg posted a video on her personal Facebook page of Meryl Streep's tribute to Clinton, calling it “amazing.”

In 2013, Sandberg and Clinton hosted a gala for Women for Women International. Sandberg presented Clinton with the “Champion of Peace” award at the event.

Maybe Mrs. Bill Clinton will have one of her admiring donors start a campaign to ban the word “Benghazi?”

“Boss Hilly sends Ambassador Stevens to Benghazi to be murdered.”

Okay, fine. Ban “bossy”. What the heck?

Just keep…

• Imperious

• Demanding

• Pushy

• Despotic

• Controlling

• Entitled

• Lying

• Megalomaniacal

(Many, many more. Hillary is very, very defeatable.)
