US Uncut: Hillary Just Went Beserk When Confronted W/ Her Fossil Fuel Donations: Here are Some:

[amborin]

The Annenberg Foundation, which runs FactCheck.org, cites figures from the Center for Responsive Politics that show the Clinton campaign has accepted over $300,000 from employees of fossil fuel companies. To put that in perspective, only Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz raised more money from the fossil fuel industry during the 2016 campaign cycle.

However, nearly all of the lobbyists hired by the Clinton campaign to bundle campaign contributions come from the fossil fuel industry, as noted by the Huffington Post. Greenpeace estimates that the Clinton campaign has bundled over $1.2 million with help from industry-affiliated lobbyists.

To her credit, Clinton has pledged to make addressing climate change a core focus of her administration should she win the nomination and the presidency. But as the Huffington Post’s Paul Blumenthal and Kate Sheppard pointed out, her deep ties to extractive industries will likely throw a wrench into the gears of any climate mitigation agenda:

A list of 40 registered lobbyists that the Clinton camp disclosed to the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday revealed a number of Democratic Party lobbyists who have worked against regulations to curb climate change, advocated for offshore drilling, or sought government approval for natural gas exports….

Scott Parven and Brian Pomper, lobbyists at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, have been registered to lobby for the Southern California-based oil giant Chevron since 2006, with contracts totaling more than $3 million. The two bundled Clinton contributions of $24,700 and $29,700, respectively. They have helped Chevron over the years resist efforts to eliminate oil and gas tax breaks and to impose regulations to reduce carbon emissions.

1. I'd hardly call it berserk. She put a Sanders robot in her place is more like it.

[Aerows]

6. That was a Greenpeace activist

She said it right in the video (I'm with Greenpeace). She didn't mention a political affiliation.

[Trust Buster]

11. Wasn't a huge leap.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

12. No. It was a lie. Retract it.

[Armstead]

15. Not a good idea to take on environmentalists

[Aerows]

22. She identifies herself as with Greenpeace.

She does not mention any political affiliation, merely asks if Hillary Clinton will keep her commitments on climate change by rejecting donations from the fossil fuel industry.

So yes, that was, in fact, a huge leap.

[Autumn]

38. A very reasonable question and a very nasty response. I didn't hear the activist say anything

about Sanders. Did I see a shortened version and miss it ? Hillary was way the fuck out there.

[reformist2]

19. A 'Sanders robot'?

[frylock]

48. Put in her place.

wow

[Android3.14]

26. The word "bererk" isn't the problem

It's the oil money, as shown in this OP, that she accepts and denies she accepts.

Should she accept money from the oil industry? Should she accept tens of millions of dollars in "speaking fees" (cough - bribes - cough) from companies that are working to increase wealth disparity?

Once you answer those questions, then we can worry about whether her lack of grace and poise qualifies as "berserk".

[Trust Buster]

27. The word "berserk" totally misrepresented the encounter.

[Android3.14]

31. The problem is the quid pro quo with the oil industry

Find a fainting couch.

Should Clinton be accepting money from an industry that is promoting the destruction of the climate?

I know you will respond with something silly without actually grappling with that fundamental issue, so let me give you a hint to the moral, ethical and intelligent answer to the question.

She shouldn't.

[frylock]

49. Hillary lost her shit.

She was incredibly aggressive in that video.

[snowy owl]

29. Really. I've never seen a Sanders' robot. What did the robot do? Who designe/programmed it?

A Sanders' robot - now that's impressive.

[Aerows]

35. I'm inclined to ask

"Now point on the Sanders robot and tell us where it touched you."

[cherokeeprogressive]

43. She actually pokes her in the chest 10 seconds into the video. Ought to be arrested for assault.

I can't wait til a video surfaces shot from another angle and actually shows her poking the young lady's chest. You can even see the young lady react to being poked.

[bvar22]

55. This is the young lady that Hillary falsely attacked.

There was only one BULLY in that video, and it wasn't the young Greenpeace activist, who was polite and dignified. Hillary has just displayed that she does NOT have the temperament or judgement to be our president.

Greenpeace Activist

http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/im-the-greenpeace-activist-who-asked-hillary-clinton-to-pledge-to-reject-fossil-fuel-contributions-at-the-purchase-ny-campaign-rally/

Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Super PAC supporting her have received more than $4.5 million from the fossil fuel industry.

[Snotcicles]

2. She's losing it. nt

[KoKo]

42. Look at this video...She's definitely losing it!

Clinton presses claim for presidency over protesters--Speech Snip where she yells at what she calls "Bernie Supporters"!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/clinton-presses-claim-for-presidency-over-protesters/2016/03/31/ee9b52da-f76e-11e5-958d-d038dac6e718_video.html

[Hekate]

3. Hillary has never "gone berserk" in her life. Try again.

[Luminous Animal]

9. That is the title of the article but she looks a little beserk to me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=17&v=dC4Pvm6Oj4A

[BuelahWitch]

16. I really didn't like her tone...n/t

[Autumn]

39. Her tone was Trumpish

IMO

[DisgustipatedinCA]

13. Try watching again. She has an embarrassing lack of self-control.

[amborin]

23. she acts destabilized if anyone challenges or questions her; scary optics;

[Aerows]

14. She was asked a question by a Greenpeace activist.

The Greenpeace activist identified herself as such. She was about to say that she doesn't take donations from fossil fuel companies, then obfuscated to say that she accepts donations from individuals who work for fossil fuel companies.

When she realized she was getting tripped up, she stuck her finger in the Greenpeace activist's face, yelled at her about Bernie Sanders and ranted.

She was asked a very good question about climate change, tried to hedge, and got irate.

Watch the video and follow the series of events as they occur.

[snowy owl]

30. another unproven generality

[cherokeeprogressive]

44. The funny part is Hillary actually pokes the young lady in the chest with her finger.

I think she ought to be arrested for assault.

I've never seen a politician put their hands on anyone like that before.

[bvar22]

56. The young lady that Hillary attacked was much smaller, lighter, and younger.

If Hillary is going to start physical fights, she should pick on someone in her own weight class.

There was only one BULLY in that video, and it wasn't the young Greenpeace activist, who was polite and dignified. Hillary has just displayed that she does NOT have the temperament or judgement to be our president.

JMO, but I suspect that this young lady supports Jill Stein of the Green Party.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

46. Climate change and the sixth global mass-extinction event is happening now

think she is the one?

[DanTex]

4. LOL. Attaching the word "berserk" to conspiracy theories doesn't make them less nutty.

[RANGERMAN89]

28. Yes factcheck.org and the Huffington post..

Are conspiracy theorists sent by aliens to antagonize Hillary and her supporters with facts.

[noiretextatique]

58. Defending the indefensible must get tiring

Yet, some never tire of it. Sad and inexcusable. If she slaughtered a homeless, blind kitten, some folks would find a way to blame the kitten.

[dr60omg]

5. The person was a green-peace activist

There is a planetary emergency and she gets totally creepy ... Does she honestly think people will fall for the distraction of personal donations and her pac and super-pac donations?
Does she honestly think people don't understand her support for frakking?

[casperthegm]

18. Poor Hillary, she is such a victim

She takes money from all of the sources that we associate with the gop. How can she be against Citizens United and at the same time accept super pacs working on her behalf? She supports fracking. Fracking? Since when is this a Democratic position?

[FlatBaroque]

7. This woman, as President, terrifies me. She is not well. /

[NWCorona]

8. Yeah, that video isn't a good look at all

Hillary is having a terrible week and with Friday tomorrow she needs something positive to carry into the weekend.

Wisconsin is Tues!

[Impedimentus]

10. If she "pledged" than stop worrying

To her credit, Clinton has pledged to make addressing climate change a core focus of her administration should she win the nomination and the presidency.

Well if Hillary pledged to support climate change then I believe her 100%, at least until she changes her position again. Follow the $$$.

FEEL THE BERN- 2016

[azmom]

17. She can't handle the truth!

[riderinthestorm]

20. Madame President would be terrible for our planet

Its in its 11th hour and incrementalism dooms us.

[arcane1]

21. Democrats who fight AGAINST efforts to curb climate change.

Tell me again why that "D" is all that matters?

[The Midway Rebel]

24. Wide eyed, wide mouth, finger pointing with one hand then the other.

Poked that crooked finger as close as possible into her personal space. Berserk? Nah. But it was quite aggressive and forceful. If it had gone on much longer, I was expecting Madame Secretary to perhaps deliver a head butt.

[timmymoff]

25. definately berserk

She can't stand how the little people dare question Her Corporateness,

[msongs]

32. usuncut = bernie sanders news network like TYT, about as independant as life from oxygen lol nt

[nichomachus]

34. Right. The only reliable news source

Are Hillary's press releases.

Anyone who tells the truth is suspect.

[frylock]

50. Video? What video?

[Juicy_Bellows]

33. I'll just leave this here.

[Oilwellian]

36. Republicans despise Greenpeace

Sometimes, for a brief moment, the real Hillary comes out.

[KingFlorez]

37. You all are acting like she went off and beat the woman in her face

[BreakfastClub]

40. That's not "berserk." You're just not used to seeing a woman stand up for herself. nt

[KoKo]

47. Standing up for herself? Against What? Greenpeace?

[frylock]

51. Yeah, I don't want to see her anywhere near the White House standing up for herself.

[demwing]

61. Escept when we guys do it, we get rightly criticized for being assholes

but that axe swings in two directions, and you don't like it

[Uncle Joe]

41. Hillary's support of fracking belies her "concern" about climate change.

You risk major methane release using that practice.

Thanks for the thread, amborin.

[merrily]

52. Well, she hasn't made a single pro-energy vote, so there's no quid pro quo.

I crack me up sometimes.

[amborin]

53. except for lobbying for coal plants in south africa, to the enrichment of her cronies

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511538964

[PonyUp]

54. Having her any where near the White House would be terrifying. Unhinged!

[noiretextatique]

60. Her majesty does not do well when confronted: remember BLM?

She was a condescending jerk to BLM activists too.
