What if the people who talk about the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy are actually working for a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy?
Hiding in plain site, so to speak.

Just a guess

(8,976 posts)Many here say Hillary's multiple scandals are all republican dirty tricks or sexism, including stuff prior to her arriving on the national scene (Cattle futures, Whitewater, etc), but as we have seen this election cycle any trick that works gets used against every Democrat or woman. So I pulled up a representative history of both Hillary Clinton and her closest analog-Nancy Pelosi who's bio lists her as the highest rising woman in US history. The wiki links are below:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Pelosi
Now look just at the table of contents. Hillary has 4 chapters devoted to scandal (3.3, 3.4, 7.5 and 7.6) and Nancy Pelosi has none. Is she less a Democrat or less a woman? Or just possibly more ethical?
