Hillary Clinton: "EVERYTHING IS FAIR GAME" in Election




Reference: from Democratic Primary as Reverend Wright attacks and sermon recordings against Obama started emerging, whispers of 'terrorist ties' with Ayers and photos of Obama in Muslim-looking clothing were shared with Drudge Report, etc. It was later discovered in released documents that there were Clinton campaign memos to 'Make Obama Un-American' (clip below)

11. Howard Dean says Bernie needs to "tone down the rhetoric", is "bitter" and "harming the country"

bwahahahah - Dean's a joke now, and used to be worth respecting, before going corporate. Saying the campaign has gotten "personal and ugly" -- I think Howard Dean has forgotten the history of Clinton campaigning (conveniently) and his "harming the country" remark is as 'shill-y' as you can get.

Yes, Howard Dean, Bernie is harming the country.

needs to STFU... since he's become a shill for Bug Pharma, he's harming the people and the country


Decided to leave the typo because it's fitting

When the entire political establishment and main media supports your opponent, you've been in the national spotlight for a year against a former Secretary of State and First Lady, in a state where she was Senator for 8 years and lives, and you only lose by just over 15%, and in a closed Primary, I think that is pretty great! (Did even better than Barack Obama by a over dozen delegates too...)

When you add it all up, the Sanders campaign was impossible. And yet here he is, still standing, with a path to the nomination still possible.

That is wonderful!

unhappy with her because of the campaign.

Both of them put it behind them -- and so have most of Obama's supporters. People who want to continue his legacy are most likely to be supporting Hillary.

13. No, no, no. Her past actions may not be criticized. And the only words of hers that count ...

... are those spoken since this campaign began. Nothing she said before that counts.
