1. Hillary Clinton Candidacy = MSM is gonna need a bigger budget, more staff, maybe a Hillary Channel!

The gift that just keeps giving.

In an alternate universe, America is discounting the elite and looking to install real champions in positions of power.

Oh, to be in that universe.

It is like the Kerry swift boaters, free accusations without proof, our new standards media. I would call them whores, but that would be an insult to prostitutes to associate them with the MSM

6. Hillary Clinton presents a target 20,000 times larger than John Kerry, or anyone else.

Most of it self-inflicted, or inflicted by MSM against actual Clinton acts words and deeds.

It's all out there, years worth of questionable behaviors, inane statements, it's endless.

Shit thrown by the media at that person.

It wasn't just the swift boaters with Kerry, the media for about a week tried to push the right wing rumor that Kerry was having an affair with a campaign volunteer. It would have stuck until the volunteer came out and told them it was hogwash.

They constantly made fun of Kerry on the IWR when he tried to explain his procedural vote. Similar to the way they portrayed Al Gore and the Internet. They were attacking Obama for Wright and the weather underground, and pretty much allowing free time questioning if Obama was a citizen or a Muslim, or anyone of a number of issues which they knew the truth about, but felt it wasn't their responsibility to point that out.

The point of this OP in my view only puts emphasis that they don't have any evidence of wrong doing, but are implying it

There are plenty of known Hillary's record that they can question that they should not have to resort to unsubstantiated junk

Heck, they admit they never read the book yet alone verified its accusations.. That is a shame

Their best achievements (such as being an actual war hero, which Kerry IS) will be ridiculed, smeared, and lied about. And the MSM will repeat repeat repeat the lies for them.

Why the hell anyone thinks it would be different if we had Warren, I don't know. Just imagine! They could start by calling her a fake Native American and go on from there.
