PSA: Hillary Fan Talking Point of The Day - The Truth Is a Dead Horse

In multiple places today, Hillary Fans are using the term "Dead Horse"... As in anything a non-Hillary Fan says is simply beating a dead horse or that dead horse can't save Bernie.

That must be Brock's talking point sent out this morning.

I recommend if you see one of these, that you post the following image to have Hillary Fans stop:

Some in particular.

Getting no replies is annoying to them. Replying to them will just lock you in a downward spiral of them alternating between cries of "right wing something or other" or Whataboutism or trying to waste your time researching facts just so they can deny reality again.

Bill Clinton's "Putting People First" was Wall Street and Corporate people first and foremost. Hillary is carrying on the legacy...

... beating an entire stable of dead horses for a few more months.

And we'll probably keep pointing it out.

Now if it's someone's record, at what time does it become a dead horse? Answer...if they are running for public office, specifically the Presidency, never.

So reviewing the record which some would prefer we not do, i.e. relating inconvenient facts and reminding folks of them has become beating a dead horse.

I'd prefer you would either counter intelligently, or be silent.

There are indeed several dead horse topics (emailgate, transcripts, Libya) though, and bringing them up isn't going to move the conversation one inch in any direction.

It really would be nice to move on.
