since Democrats generally know a Republican scam when they see one. If Sanders had tried to feed into it, he'd have discredited himself. Not smart.

absolutely broke rules, and laws. She also lied repeatedly. Don't make me throw links up here of her lying in her own words coming out of her own mouth.

Benghazi provides a great example of how the alternative can backfire. There are some serious and troubling questions about Benghazi, but since the cause has been clumsily embraced by a bunch of right-wing nut jobs, it's virtually impossible to ask legitimate questions about it without being ridiculed and shouted down.

It's a bit like questioning the treatment of Palestinians on the Gaza Strip and being accused of being anti-Semitic if you're a goy and "self-loathing" if you're not.
