Related: About this forumBREAKING: The one E-mail to DOOM Hillary Clinton's campaign
Yes that's right Gefilte fish!
Anyone who can't see why all these stories about Hillary Clinton e-mails is nothing but a smear campaign is a fucking Moron.
Hillary has been a fighter for decades and all this shit does is make her stronger. When her enemies (even the one's from within) learn that then and only then they may have a chance to beat her but I wouldn't hold my breath.
I suspect all Democratic Candidates will run a good campaign but as we get closer to the primaries if any candidate resorts to these kinds of smears she'll do what she does best, she'll eat them for breakfast.
This OP was done in such a way just to show how fucking stupid this smear campaign has been.

(49,383 posts)idiotic and wasteful years of Hillary witch hunting can be. She shrugs off the assaults and keeps on trucking.

Journalism in this country is an embarrassment.

(7,018 posts)misinformed and ignorant, so that they will do exactly what the
Republican Corporate businessmen tell them to do - and without
asking any questions. Yes, they have succeeded wonderfully in
dumbing America down. All for profit.

REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
OP is referring to a large group of concerned people as "fucking Morons" and it includes a lot of Democrats and DU members too.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Sep 1, 2015, 12:12 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: OP is correct
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Advice to alerter: Get a sense of humor.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Leave it. The fact that they have to resort to straw men and name calling shows the desperation of their argument. That the "argument" in the OP only makes their case look worse is punishment enough.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

(26,060 posts)will be the first to tell you gefilte fish is pretty nasty - unless smothered in horseradish (the white kind, not the wimpy red stuff).
Control-Z
(15,682 posts)All I've ever heard about it is how nasty it is. I don't understand.
The only answer I have to give is tradition. When it's homemade, it's pretty good but I haven't had homemade since my grandma died 20 years ago. So fresh that if you got there early enough in the morning, you'd find the fish swimming in the tub.

Doesn't matter how many decades she's been fighting.
Doesn't matter because the attention reinforces the perception that people have of her.

(5,402 posts)I may be moron, but how does a subject line of "gefilte fish" prove it was okay to have a separate server in her home, and how does it prove she handled all the other classified emails correctly?
I see the sarcasm, and even agree the GOP opposition is using the email issue against her, but how does this OP show how stupid the smear campaign has been, especially when her falling numbers show the campaign is anything but stupid? It seems to be working, actually.

(9,070 posts)Oren noted that the 1985 trade agreement between the United States and Israel protected some vulnerable Israeli sectors including Galilean carp farmers.
Oren says Manzullo called him incessantly, and that the dispute even escalated to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. (I urged him to focus on Israels critical issues and leave the fish to me, Oren wrote).
Finally, a compromise. The containers were unloaded in Israel on a one-time, nonprecedent basis, Oren wrote.

(53,032 posts)I am against gefilte fish because I have a sneaking suspicion it bears some relation to Lutefisk. I expect a Clinton administration to take no prisoners when it comes to any and all congealed fish.

Coincidence? I think not.

(9,070 posts)There was SEXTING from Trey Gowdy to each of the following members of the Senate Benghazi Committee:
Susan Brooks (IN-05)
Jim Jordan (OH-04)
Mike Pompeo (KS-04)
Martha Roby (AL-02)
Peter Roskam (IL-06)
Lynn Westmoreland (GA-03)
The FBI are currently in a big fight trying to decide if the messages were "government business" or "personal"!
Congratulations to Hillary's lawyers for helping "uncover" the messages!
