Hillary's new disgusting smear: Bernie is the third Koch brother

[Joe the Revelator]

Shameless.

[Broward]

1. It's repugnant. That's what her and her slime masters came up with it.

She is morally unfit to be President. I can't express my disgust strongly enough.

[Snotcicles]

9. +1.nt

[amborin]

40. Head of Columbia U. Earth Inst Says same

[TheBlackAdder]

56. Wait! Did she say Koch Sucker...

.


Or was it a fargin' cork sucker?

.

[dflprincess]

2. Note how she avoided mentioning the Import/Export bank is nothing but corporate welfare

at least Bernie managed to get that in.

[Avalux]

3. No worries. He handled that one nicely.

She has nothing left but to lob outrageous smears at Bernie. She cannot stand on her own merit and has zero integrity.

[Jackilope]

4. Bernie has consistently stood up for US.

Hillary aka "Golden Handcuffs" has $$$ and a stamp of approval from 1%.

[bigwillq]

5. She said that?

[Joe the Revelator]

7. She said that the Koch brothers supported Bernie yada yada yada

[bigwillq]

11. Blah blah blah

I see it's just noise coming from Hillary Weathervane again.

[nolabear]

10. No, she didn't. She pointed out, truly, that they'd made an ad favoring him.

Jesus, you people...

[bigwillq]

14. I am Jesus. I'm glad "you people" recognize that.

Thanks for your reply. Two sides to every story.

[polly7]

60. Yo, Jesus!

(best to keep on your good side).

[TM99]

25. Go for it.

Please continue with this attack. It will back-fire so spectacularly that your head will spin.

The artful smear is not going to work this time in Florida. She tried it in Michigan and it failed. It will fail yet again.

[PowerToThePeople]

27. Ok.

I won't vote for the better candidate because someone I don't like said something supportive of them.

Cult of personality.

[Dem2]

34. I assumed it wasn't true

Tired of reading stupid inflammatory SHIT like this.

[pa28]

53. "You people"?

I've seen Hillary supporters refer to Bernie supporters (including myself) as "you people" many times now.

It's not very helpful.

[nolabear]

58. It's said in real anger. If your mileage varies I don't mean you.

[casperthegm]

64. I don't take the "you people personally"

But the fact is that Hillary was trying to insinuate a cozy relationship between Bernie and the Koch brothers by pointing out the ad. There's no other reason for it. Why else mention it? Just to make conversation? This is politics and we all know the intent here. It's just another in a long line of smears.

And if her supporters have no problem with it, that's fine. I'm not surprised. But I suspect that Bernie supporters don't appreciate the insinuation. And if HRC gets the nomination she is making things that much more difficult to ensure that those Bernie supporters vote for her in the GE.

[myrna minx]

13. She also said he supported the Minutemen too.

...And she wonders why people find her dishonest.

[BernieforPres2016]

24. She tried to pivot from the massive money she takes in from Wall Street

and other industries by saying "the Koch Brothers ran an ad praising Senator Sanders". The ad by the Koch Brothers was attacking the corporate welfare program called the Export-Import Bank, or "The Bank of Boeing" as Bernie called it the other night. 40% of the funds go to Boeing. Bernie opposes that program, apparently so do the Koch Brothers. So she is trying to say the Koch Brothers like Bernie.

It's like saying Hitler likes dogs, I like dogs, therefore Hitler must like me and I must like Hitler.

[John Poet]

31. Thanks for that explanation...

Some of us may not be able to watch.

[Barack_America]

6. Wow. She has no clue how to win the Midwest. None at all.

Hint. Shameless political attacks and pandering ain't it.

[Snotcicles]

22. As her desperation raises her actions get more disgusting. nt

[ucrdem]

8. She appears to be be correct:

Koch Feels the Bern

Both Donald Trump and his rival Bernie Sanders have a point: The system is corrupt.

Here is business magnate and libertarian donor Charles Koch on Bernie Sanders:

The senator is upset with a political and economic system that is often rigged to help the privileged few at the expense of everyone else, particularly the least advantaged.

He believes that we have a two-tiered society that increasingly dooms millions of our fellow citizens to lives of poverty and hopelessness. He thinks many corporations seek and benefit from corporate welfare while ordinary citizens are denied opportunities and a level playing field.

I agree with him.

[nolabear]

15. Facts? Facts? Why have facts when you can make rank accusations and get attaboys?

God I'm sick of this.

[Joe the Revelator]

19. Attaboy!

[choie]

16. Did he take money from them??

Give me a fucking break!!!!

[Barack_America]

18. Newsflash: Libertarians oppose corporate welfare.

It's one thing they have right.

[questionseverything]

35. uummm also anti nsa and the secrecy of the fed

both positions bernie would agree with

[Barack_America]

39. Yep. And me too. How about you? Pro-NSA?

That's a shame.

[questionseverything]

41. not at all,i'm bernie all the way

just saying it isn't the only thing L are right about

[Barack_America]

43. Sorry, misread your message. Maybe I should turn off the debate, lol.

46. n/p bernie is tearing it up

climate change now

[Armstead]

20. And I agree with that statement

The Kochs are two faced hypocrites....but that statement taken at face value is accurate.

If the Kochs or Trump said the sun rises in the east I'd also agree with that statement.

[Lizzie Poppet]

28. So basically, Koch says something good for a change, agreeing with one of Bernie's core points...

...and Hillary uses this as an attack?

Damned revealing, no?

[TM99]

29. Oh come on.

Stop being so disingenuous.

Sure they are factually accurate but it was used to smear him. It was used to deflect from her own bullshit. It was an artful smear. It was a rat-fucking.

Period!

[ucrdem]

36. Facts are facts. I've been pointing out for months that Sanders is benefittng from RW superPACs.

That line about the million-dollar speeches for example? Where do you think that came from?

[amborin]

42. from all the various progressive publications publishing this for many many months now

[ucrdem]

50. Guess again:

GO AHEAD HILLARY, PROVE US WRONG AND RELEASE SPEECHES

“The reason why Hillary Clinton won’t release transcripts of her paid speeches is simple – she knows they will show what a sellout she is. When she is paid $225K to speak at Goldman Sachs she is ‘pro-Wall Street’ Hillary; when she is on the campaign trail trying to get left of a socialist, she is ‘anti-Wall Street’ Hillary. And that is why no one trusts Hillary Clinton.”

[TM99]

57. You are still completely wrong on this.

But I expect the artful smear from every Clinton supporter I come in contact with.

[arcane1]

37. Do you agree with those statements about the system, or do you disagree?

Please tell us which parts of your quoted statement are incorrect, and why

[Armstead]

62. And if the Kochs said the sun rises in the East I'd agree with them

Stopped clocks are right at least twice a day

[Armstead]

12. She can't help herself, I'm beginning to think

Maybe it's an addiction to trying to hit below the belt

[flamingdem]

23. I was wondering - is it some kind of Chicago thing?

Maybe that's the political culture there?

[Nite Owl]

17. How does that

make a shred of sense, I don't get it.

[litlbilly]

21. so far, Hillary is really bad tonight. OMG, she has never been this bad.

She seems to talk on and on about nothing. Ive never seen her like this before. Maybe is fatigue from last night would be my guess,
And with the Koch brother thing, all I can say is yikes

[BuelahWitch]

38. Maybe she's drunk?

That Koch brothers thing was really, really, REALLY stupid because anyone who's been following him for some length of time (like 5 minutes of his stump speech) knows that Bernie blasts the Koch brothers by name.
Put a fork in MADame Secretary, she done!

[amborin]

44. stimulants? they can cause giddiness

[Kittycat]

26. She's just slinging dogs hit at this point.

Hoping something, anything will stick. Seriously. Minutemen, Koch brothers, repetitive spewing of already debunked lies (which just makes her a bigger liar). Whatever she has promised the banks, big oil, prisons, etc, must be significant, if she's going all out sewer.

[Mnpaul]

30. Bernie should have said

Only one person on this stage who had a working relationship with the Koch brothers and it isn't me.

[ucrdem]

33. And only one campaign is supported by Karl Rove's AmericanCrossroads SuperPac.

T'ain't Hillary's.

[Mnpaul]

52. Supported?

how much did they give to Bernie? nothing

[Ino]

32. And she stood there with that smug smile...

while he had to answer to that ridiculous charge

This is her way now... just keep churning out lies with a self-satisfied smirk. What does she care? She has no shame.

"I'm not a natural politician like my husband and Obama." ROFL! She's not LIKABLE like her husband and Obama. She is an accomplished lying triangulating politician. And a CAREER politician as well as an establishment one.

[questionseverything]

45. how is she gonna reduce costs?

that is something i would like to know

[Uglystick]

47. Hillary is way off tonight. She is misfiring

and pissing Florida off. I think she lost Florida tonight and the rest of the Super Tuesday Part II.

[oldandhappy]

48. absolutely ugly -- gag

Our Dem Club meets this Saturday. Beginning to wonder what that is going to be like.

[Chan790]

49. Hillary's a cofounder of the DLC with Al From and Charles Koch.

She might want to think about these things before she sticks her foot in her mouth.

She's way more tied to the Koch brothers than she can credibly accuse Sanders of being.

[dana_b]

51. THIS is the most DISGUSTING thing that she has said

and she has said a lot of disgusting SHIT!!!

I hope she goes down, down, down asap.

I would NEVER vote for her - ever! Fuckin'.....

[kennetha]

54. When is the truth a Smear?

Koch-backed group praises Bernie Sanders

[creeksneakers2]

55. I don't have a transcript

But I think Hillary's statement about Bernie getting praise from the Koch brothers came after Bernie quoted some praise Hillary got from Wall Street. Looked like a fair response to me.

A disgusting smear is lying about what she said.

[retrowire]

59. What Hillary doesn't understand is

that when she casts a stone, we're not stupid enough to not look to see where the stone came from.

So if she really thinks that tying Bernie to a Koch Bros ad makes him look bad, or WORSE THAN HER... She's oblivious to reality.

"LOOK THE KOCH BROS MADE AN AD FOR BERNIE!!!1!!"

Yeah but Bernie doesn't work with them and he didn't approve of the ad. What about those transcripts?

"BUT THE KOCH BROS AD BERNIE AghFDGOSJDGMHGFK!!!"

[Octafish]

61. The same Koch Brothers who provided DLC with seed money?

The same DLC that turned over all its files upon disbanding to the Clinton Foundation?

No wonder the Clinton camp would say nice things about the Koch Brothers.

[azurnoir]

63. so now Bernie's a communist Koch Brother?

[Matariki]

65. Were those actual words used?

Because if so, I don't think that will have the effect she's hoping for.
