it does progressives and liberals no credit to promote memes like this one. She is clearly not that person anymore and I think a little mercy is called for.

than as a penny ante crook/fraudster

what meme? she is what she is.

a meme implies some sort of mischaracterization

if she comes forward and abjectly apologizes for her abominable mendacity, I'd consider forgiving her, but I wouldn't believe her for a hot minute

it's not a meme to repeat her criminal record, or her lies, is it?

I consider memes to be "creative," as the definition says, spins on reality

no spinning here...just the facts, ma'am

She is obviously a bad person and deserves no mercy from anyone. This is a perfectly good meme. Just because you're a liberal or progressive, it doesn't mean you have to be namby pamby.

But chances are she is still a liar, thief and cheater. One conviction maybe she is an ok person, but two? No.

Then I think it's quite fair to hold her accountable for actual events from 1996. I'm curious though: You assert that Pierson, convicted of cheating and fraud in 1996 and holding herself out as a spokeswoman for Donald Trump in 2016, is "clearly not that person anymore." What is that based on? It looks to me like a slightly higher class cheat, but still cheating.

The older photo looks clearly like a black woman but current photos/videos absolutely do not.

This dame promotes hate, racism, ignorance, bigotry, fascism every time she opens her mouth. AND LIES. No sympathy from this corner. Her candidate will kill us all. I do wonder if she has a lower body, tho!! Never appears in person.

was she must really despise her race. She's had so much surgery to mask it. A very sad woman. But let's fault her for what she's currently doing, not what she did many years ago.

She will end up in some meaningless but six figure job for Trump once he loses. Sure, she may be as incomprehensible as a Trump but he will reward her loyalty which he seems to value more than anything.

25. I'm surprised that DUers are crying crocodile tears for Pierson because her past
Tue Aug 16, 2016, 03:07 PM
Aug 2016

of shoplifting and unemployment fraud is out in the open. First of all, she is young (ok, everybody under 50 looks extremely young to me these days) so her "youthful indiscretions" (that sounds familiar...) are not exactly part of her ancient history. Secondly, she LOVES to appear on the MSM to call for Hillary to be locked up for her "crimes". She is dumb as a stump, so I am at a loss as to why the Trump campaign could not have found a shill with at least average intelligence who didn't have a record of shop lifting. There are plenty of people...people of color, people who grew up poor, people who didn't even have a mentor who cared, people who grew up with physical disabilities/challenges. And they never shop lifted anything. Plenty of people. Of course, on the other hand, there are people who did make mistakes when they were young and stupid (i.e. shoplifting) who learned from their mistakes and turned things around. I say good for them...But they aren't on TV constantly saying that our nominee for president--who has been investigated and harassed by Repubs for 25 years-- is a criminal and should be locked up. Pierson is the one doing that. So, yeah...She deserves to be called out on her hypocrisy.

The republicans, specifically the republican base all claim to have seen a woman diving a Cadillac using welfare to buy food. Maybe they have their own poster girl for this.
