Anyone remember the site, Hillaryis44.com from 2008?

Well, their true colors have been revealed. They endorsed Trump. I shit you not.

HillaryIs44 Officially Endorses @RealDonaldTrump For President
Since 2007 we have been the preeminent Hillary Clinton support site. For years we called ourselves a “pink aircraft carrier” willing, able and ready to defend and support Hillary Clinton. After 2008 we compared ourselves to soldiers in “winter quarters” willing, able, and ready-for-Hillary the moment she declared herself a candidate. Today we endorse Donald J. Trump for president.

Our readers deserve a fuller explanation as to why we, who have supported Hillary Clinton for so long, now endorse fully and urge every American to vote for Donald J. Trump. We will begin with a brief revisit of our history in order to make clear our support for Hillary Clinton has been unquestioned. We will then make the case for Donald J. Trump.

Of course they have done a 180 and endorse Trump. They used Hillary as a vehicle to assault Obama. Just like the JPRads used Bernie to assault Hillary. Ratfucking doesn't change, just the vehicle they use to bash the frontrunner.

So...not surprised. Their true colors were blazingly obvious.

I had not heard of any of these sites and I was an ardent Hillary supporter in 2007 - I grudgingly switched to (and then fell in love) with Obama after the primaries.

I remember a site called Hillaryclintonforum.com that later changed to commongroundpolitics.org or something - I'm not sure what happened to that site though, it was pretty active too.
