After Failing to Derail her, GOP and media Accuse Hillary of Flip Flopping

http://www.hillarymen.com/latest/gop-and-media-test-new-anti-hillary-themes

On July 14, we published The Great American Brainwash: Half a Billion Dollars to Turn the Public against Hillary. Our objective was to expose the conservative attack machinery behind anti-Hillary talking points and narratives:

The New York Times looks behind the curtain of the shadowy conservative effort to demolish Hillary Clinton’s favorable public image:

"An expensive and sophisticated effort is underway to test and refine the most potent lines of attack against Mrs. Clinton, and, ultimately, to persuade Americans that she does not deserve their votes. While the general election is 16 months away, Republican groups are eager to begin building a powerful case against the woman they believe will be the Democratic nominee, and to infuse the public consciousness with those messages. The effort to vilify Mrs. Clinton could ultimately cost several hundred million dollars, given the variety and volume of political organizations involved."

Crossroads, the group behind this effort, is led by none other than Karl Rove, the strategist who brought us George W Bush.


So if you find yourself repeating right wing propaganda against Hillary don't mind if we just call you Karl.

How quickly you all forget the over-the-top hyperbole about her masterful debate "victory"...

They were taken after the media had time to declare her the winner over and over ad nauseum and they included people who didn't even watch the debate.

As you guys keep telling us: science matters.

The Benghazi... excuse me... BENGHAZI!!! committee is using taxpayer dollars to do the trick.

On edit: By the way, it is perfectly legitimate to question any of Clinton's statements, actions, reversals, etc. For instance, questioning why she supported the Iraq war, then opposed it, is a fair point. It's not just a Republican talking point. In fact, the Republicans would put that one well down their list of complaints about Clinton.

As has the meme of "extreme" left wing = extreme right wing. The centerists seem to have forgotten what they actually stand for to the point that everyone not in their camp looks the same to them.

If your candidate can't stand up to the truth then you need a different candidate.
