Latest Anti-Clinton Fake Scandal Checks 4 Scandal Checkboxes-HRC Room



HILLARY CLINTON ROOM

David Allen

You might have heard about the latest Hillary Clinton “scandal” in the media recently. This “scandal” checks no fewer than four well-known Clinton Scandal Checkboxes, so you know it must be bad:



As you can see it involves Benghazi, the Clinton Foundation, email, and Sidney Blumenthal. That’s really all you need to know. Four bad things! That’s outrageous!

Um, no.

go to the original Joe Conasen article linked too.

Example:

Unfortunately, the Washington press corps tends toward exaggeration and worse when the subject is Sid—and, come to think of it, often when the subject is the Clintons, too. It was no surprise to see Karen Tumulty declare in The Washington Post that “Blumenthal had business interests in Libya,” as if he was making money there—when the reality is that he was never paid a penny and never asked the secretary for anything.

No Whitewater, Rose Law Firm or that guy she killed in the White House and then dragged his body all by herself all to one of the local Washington DC parks on this list???

No?

any and every issue, no matter how minor or fake,

Fox usually uses the term "scandal" first, and, unfortunately, Dems and the rest of the media adopt the term.

THINK! friends and neighbors.
Use your own language and terms, not those handed to you by Fox News.

Just like when I'm in the check-out lane at the grocery store, I kind of see some of the headlines - but there is no way I would spend one penny on that crap!

I don't care where Elvis is or if aliens have facilities on Ceres!

After 3 decades of this regarding the Clintons, I have absolutely no interest anymore. And, according to the polls, apparently few liberal or moderate Democrats are interested, either.

It must feed the interest of some "other" kind of "Democrat."

Nothing.."

No, they don't ask the reduds why they're "squandering $Millions of Dollar$ of US Taxpayers Money on yet another Benghazi investigation."

We all know why.. Fake Scandal.. in hopes it gets them a few votes. But, the Press Corp could Ask them!

Mahalo Justin.. and Skinner.. good article!
