Hillary denounced MoveOn at a private fundraiser but told a very different story in public.

Maybe this is why her high dollar donor class feels so comfortable when she employs populist rhetoric when speaking to the rest of us. It's just rhetoric.

Here's what she said about MoveOn at a private fundraiser in 2008 (that wasn't quite as private as she might have hoped).

I don't agree with them. They know I don't agree with them. So they flood into these caucuses and dominate them and really intimidate people who show up there to support me.

Here's what she told MoveOn during a public conference call.

You've been refusing to back down when any of us who are in political leadership are not living up the standards that we should set for ourselves. I think you have helped to change the face of American politics for the better - both online and in the corridors of power.

I think they straight up despise us. Do you think for one moment that any of Hillarys high dollar talks to the financial industry don't include a healthy dose of left-bashing? Id bet anything its one of the reasons she wont release the text of a single speech.

But they all want our votes though, dont they.

From the consequences of of his own lies, he was giving the farm away to corporations and the 1%.

And they both have made very clear that support from groups like MoveOn did not mean jack shit to them. From Bill's obsequious sucking up to the Bush family to her sneering remarks about MoveOn, it's plain that they regard progressive Democrats as useful idiots who will support them no matter how often they kick us in the nads.

Because what choice do we have, right? We don't want Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Bernie Sanders has given us an opportunity to call their bluff.

Haven't spoke with the sister who is on the cusp between boomers and GenX since October. at that point she was one of those "I like Bernie but do you really think he can win types". I'm hoping she will move into Bernie's camp, if she hasn't already.

Just standing next to Bernie, a man of unimpeachable integrity and consistency, makes her look bad. When the MSM puts a microphone in his face and asks about her inconsistencies, he answers in a straightforward manner. But make no mistake, it is her inconsistencies that are causing her grief. That's entirely her fault and her problem.

To me, these comments by Hillary Clinton (that I've never seen before) is her Mitt Romney 47% moment. That Romney release showed us what he kept hidden during his campaign in a way that only listening and watching for oneself can do.

I truly hope she loses this primary.

There is so much at stake here, and she will turn her back forcefully on us (she already has on several key areas) as soon as she gets the nomination locked up.

And it makes no difference to many of her supporters because they don't care if she lies. They don't care if she supports war on innocent nations. They don't care if she spouts racist memes or uses sexism as a crutch.

All that matters for some is making sure a woman gets into the White House because "IT'S HER TURN!!!!"

That someone from the NH in the next few days gets up and asks her a question and has this video ready to play on their phone.

If we never get the text from her speeches, or a video or audio from those high dollar Davos like events THIS is the next best thing.

See what she would say. Or even a reaction - preface it with how Moveon was originated - and she speaks ill of it?

Some could make the argument that Moveon allowed she and her husband to even GET those speaking fees.......last impeached President, or almost impeached, Nixon, he certainly wasn't being invited or getting those fees. He wrote a book and iirc he sat down with David Frost.

The Clintons have made corporate speech making a cottage industry.
