Be prepared for the next source of anti Hillary bull shit brought to DU

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/05/1418455/-Get-ready-for-the-most-insane-book-about-the-Clintons-yet-because-Roger-Stone-is-bored?showAll=yes

Following the commercial success of a string of right-leaning books targeting Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, an unlikely duo of conservative authors is set to release an exposé next month that promises tales even more scandalous and outlandish than the predecessors.
The book, “The Clintons’ War on Women,” is “the definitive exposé of Bill, Hillary, Chelsea, and their abuse of people,” according to author Roger Stone.

I am sure we will be regaled with tales from this book along with how dare we's when we state the book was written by a lunatic and someone who sends out press releases accusing people of things.

lying liars when attacking Hillary. We have seen SE Cupp quoted here, we have seen Mukasey quoted here, we have seen Klein quoted here. If people bring crackpots to DU I will call them out on it. I have been doing so for years and won't stop now because you have decided to call me names. There is a very simple way to stop my posts in this regard, don't quote crackpots.

There's a fuck of a lot of that. I think I need to start calling out Clinton supporters for their ugly attacks on Bernie and his supporters. And considering how outnumbered Clinton supporters are here, they do a lot more of it, proportionately.

20 Years Ago Today, Hillary Clinton Gave A Rallying Cry For Women's Rights

On Sept. 5, 1995, then-first lady Hillary Clinton gave a forceful defense of women’s rights, declaring that “human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are human rights” in a famous address at the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing.

“If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, let it be that human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights, once and for all,” she said.

Since then, those words have become a rallying call for women’s rights activists worldwide. The occasion was also notable because Clinton reportedly refused to soften her rhetoric in response to pressure from both the Chinese government, whose human rights abuses she directly called out in her speech, and from members of her husband Bill Clinton’s administration, who were worried about the effects the speech might have on the United States’ diplomatic relations with China.

Which is why her low trustworthy numbers are the problem.

You can tell people that the author is a lunatic, but because they already do not trust Hillary, they won't believe it.


People who support her because they think she is most likely to win the General Election should seriously consider this aspect of her candidacy. She will always be on defense and never be on message. This stupid email thing is nothing compared to what the slime machine has in store. If she is our nominee, it is going to get really messy really fast.

Having watched what the Republicans have done to her since the early 90s, I will never ever believe any scandalous accusation whatsoever of her. Nor will I bother to investigate, because they've cried "Wolf!" so many times. (Hasn't anybody else noticed?) Hillary's crimes are (1) being a woman, (2) becoming successful from a modest background, and (3) being the smartest person in just about any room. If she weren't ethical because she's ethical, she'd be ethical and very, very legal because she's surely figured out that they will never, ever quit, even when she's dead and buried.

He was billed as a former top Trump advisor, and talked up Trump. No mention of a new anti-Clinton book, though.

Hayes treated him deferentialy.

I've gotten to where I've been avoiding DU lately just because of the Hillary vs Bernie nonsense. There should be some discussion without throwing so many cow patties at each other. Ultimately, we're on the same side. I'm for Bernie, but you won't find me disparaging those who aren't. Life is WAY too short - I know from experience.

source of Fox News etc will be. This will likely get nasty - I am surprised that they are even including Chelsea. I don't get why they think including her makes their case stronger.

As you noted Roger Stone should never be a reputable source here -- ever. (unless possibly when unloading on Donald Trump, who it seems fired him.)

Just keep in mind, that not all criticism of HRC is complete right wing nonsense - even as it is true there is a lot of it. In fact, the disproven nonsense - Vince Foster and the like - likely has inoculated her in the past from things where there was at least a valid question.

All designed to look lefty whose main purpose is to sow dissent and rivalry among the Democratic faithful. For many in the Sanders camp they are new at this. They don't know about dirty tricks. They just buy into it because it looks like it's coming from a "Friendly site"

Feeling the Bern is one thing, but hauling Karl Rove's water for him is another thing entirely.
