Last edited Fri Apr 22, 2016, 01:09 AM - Edit history (1)
As a public service I would like to introduce a list of the lies told about Hillary I have seen on DU and the smears, too.
Lies of course, are those reports about H that have been proven to be made up and the smears are those reports that are lies wrapped up in verbiage that makes H look bad.
Following is a list that I have seen on DU:
1. "She's a Republican" but that isn't really a lie, is it?
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Hmmmmm, haven't seen any, have you?

(13,685 posts)Of course there may be one from a H supporter, but I have so many on ignore I can't see it. So if anyone wants to repost one from an ignored, I would like to see it and debate it.

(55,981 posts)and supported invading Iraq. That has to be a lie. Why would a Democrat help Bush/Cheney?
BillZBubb
(10,650 posts)Not putting the most optimistic spin on her many foibles is a lie.

(10,565 posts)The fact is Hillary was one of the most liberal Senators in Congress. Lumping her in with Ted Cruz et al is a ridiculous smear that BSS repeat daily. Ask a Republican if they think she is one of them. I swat one of these smears down just about every day.

(24,979 posts)They're more like Rockefeller Republicans.
And I doubt sincerely you will find BSS (?) equating them with Cruz on this site. Maybe a bad post or two, at most.

(504 posts)She's a Republican. She's the opposite of FDR. Someone who wants the private market to take care of things. Impossible.
The Third Way is cloaked neoliberalism.

(3,655 posts)Another let down. I keep hoping to see said list but it must be invisible to Sanders supporters. There have been a few false claims posted but they are few and far between.
RobertEarl
(13,685 posts)I can't recall any. Am looking forward to debating anyone about the merits or substance of any,
Of course, so very many H posters are on my ignore list that I may be missing one. Please, feel free to repost to me, here, if you see any.
But like I said, they are few and far between.

What will the leftovers lie and smear about when parity comes to DU?

(14,177 posts)I have never seen it happen though and it's no longer fun to watch Hillarians act like RepubliCONS. If I wanna see RepubliCONS behaving badly I can just go watch them in their habitat.
rhett o rick
(55,981 posts)Some people say her and Bill have amassed $150,000,000 in 15 years ($10 million per year) for giving speeches to the wealthy that expect quid pro quo. That has to be a lie.

(24,010 posts)The only thing they could come up with is somebody said she's a Republican.
91% tax on the uber-rich under Dwight Eisenhower. Now there's a Democrat!
RobertEarl
(13,685 posts)"She's a Republican"
I'd have to say there is some truth to that smear tho, as H does appear to hold more than a few republican light views on matters. Views such as her stances on Iraq and the ME, her foreign policy like that of Kissinger, the drug wars, etc.

Onlooker
(5,636 posts)She's corrupt, a liar, a neocon, comparison of her to Nixon and Bush, she's homophobic, racist, she put American security at risk, she takes bribes from corporations, she agrees with Kissinger's foreign policy, she knew about Bill being a rapist (two lies), she's responsible for the rise of ISIS, she's a corporate shill, she called black superpredators (she called gang members that), she cackles, smirks, talks too much, etc.
