Won't criticize Clinton's temper -- But she ought to be careful about attacking environmentalists

[Armstead]

She'll be opening a huge can of worms if she claims that she has no ties or support from the fossil fuel industry....Especially if she claims Sanders is lying about it.

Too much loose paper floating around to get away with that one.

And the optics of attacking the environmental movement look reallllllllly bad....unless she is angling for the anti-environmental Climate Change Denier voters.

[Skwmom]

1. She wants the pro fracking voters. n/t

[Armstead]

2. New York state is the wrong place to do that

The state outlawed fracking.

[TheSocialDem]

5. that huge pro-fracking segment of the democratic party

[Skwmom]

22. Take a look at PA.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/pennsylvania-governor-and-fracking-sector-face-off-on-budget-regulations-1435603330

I think she wants to be viewed as pro and anti fracking depending on the area.

[islandmkl]

37. "i oppose fracking in every region that it is unfeasible to even consider as a method.." or

"I support regulated (to some degree to be determined by experts from the industry) fracking in any region where it would be beneficial to those companies who are in the business of recovering our precious petroleum assets..."

not verbatim Clinton...but then again I'm not one of her writers...but I could be...

[polly7]

39. Which makes no sense at all ............. and, is also not true that she does - at least in.

European countries.

[CorporatistNation]

32. Agreed! Except For Those Who Are Afraid of The EARTHQUAKES That Result From FRACKING!

Yep her greatest asset... (THE BIGGGGGG$$$$) Is Coming Back To BITE Her BigTIME! Fracking ain't cool in New York! Bernie has got to NAIL Her With The Fracker MONEY and Managerial Assistance in her campaign. Also The CORPORATE PRISON INDUSTRY WOULD BE A NICE TOUCH AS WELL!

3. 3,273 up votes on Reddit.

That is approximately 1000 more than what that video had less than 45 minutes ago. I don't think this is going to go away very soon if ever. Oh and I put it on my calendar that NBC commented that "She lost it" or words to that effect in commentary on that video. I didn't see it myself I don't watch TV news, I saw it on another thread.

[msongs]

13. ranks on reddit are like polls in the sanders forum ... meaningless nt

[Kalidurga]

14. You keep saying that.

and still no one cares.

[Joe the Revelator]

4. Another Clinton moment that proves she is the best democrat in the race....

attacking an environmental activist. What has happened to this fucking party?

[nichomachus]

7. Hillary doesn't have the temperament to be president

She can't work under pressure.

[NWCorona]

9. This video will be huge

It's already all over the bing and Google news feeds.

[jillan]

16. All over twitter too. In fact it is trending.

[NWCorona]

18. Oh that's not good!

[morningfog]

27. Stupid to pick a fight with greenpeace. They are pros.

[Kittycat]

33. Called that on the closed thread.

Won't tweet (end) well for her.

[pacalo]

17. The love of big money has ruined the Democratic Party.

[merrily]

30. You might well ask.

What happened to the Party?

Corporate campagin donations and other perqs from corporations became more important than people.

[riderinthestorm]

6. Yup. Climate change is the most pressing global problem right now

Belittling it, or those who are actively working for change, is 180 degrees wrong.

[rhett o rick]

8. She was careful to aim her ire at Sanders and not Green Peace. But she showed her

fans that she is as tough as they revere.

[Armstead]

11. Kind of an environmental Sista Soljah moment

[rhett o rick]

20. She doesn't like environmentalists she sides with corp profits over the environment of the lower

classes.

[Aerows]

10. She tried to hedge by claiming

they were donations from individuals that work for the fossil fuel industry. She realized right then that she was screwed - that's why she started yelling at the Greenpeace activist about Bernie Sanders and "lies" from his supporters (which that young lady claimed affiliation with no one but Greenpeace).

Politician 101 - if you get tripped up, change the subject. The problem is she put her finger in that young woman's face and accused the young woman of being a Sanders supporter and accused the Sanders campaign of telling lies.

It is a bald, well known fact that she accepts money from both lobbyists, donations to her SuperPACs and corporate money from all aspects of the fossil fuel industry and to call that a "lie" is big fat lie in itself. It didn't help that she laid into the young woman with the shouting and finger pointing because Clinton got tripped up by the truth and was pissed at herself for it.

[rhett o rick]

21. She is terrible at recovery. She just gets mad. Not a good trait for a president. nm

[azmom]

12. K&R

[snowy owl]

15. Proud of Bernie for staying calm in adversity. Maybe H not cut out for the job.

[Ghost Dog]

19. Those two things are exactly what she has done. n/t

[KingFlorez]

23. It was hardly an attack

She didn't call any names, she just said she was sick of the BS going around. It's really a stretch to call this one exchange an attack on the entire environmental movement.

[morningfog]

26. What Bernie lie was she referring to?

[KingFlorez]

34. That she's accepting money directly from fossil fuel companies?

[Armstead]

40. "directly"

[KoKo]

24. Both her rallies and Attacks today on Bernie and Greepeace were Bizarre!

Unless she's trying to Outdo Trump attacking people in the audience...I'd say she's either very worried about the Poll Numbers or Comey calling her in for Deposition for her Server/E-Mail Situation that has been reported about the last week as coming to a conclusion in investigation.

[morningfog]

25. Her blame Bernie tactic is doomed to fail.

Bad move, not sure who gave her that advice or why.

[RedCappedBandit]

28. Where are all the Hillbots calling Bernie an angry old man now?

[notadmblnd]

31. Well technically she hasn't this year for her 2016 campaign

However, the corporation that I worked for often aggressively encouraged it's employees to donate to the corporation's preferred candidate. Also, the Clinton Foundation has been the recipient of donations.

Still no excuse for losing it like she did.

You know that it has been said that sudden outbursts of anger is a symptom of early dementia?

[Vote2016]

35. recall how she wiggled when asked if she supports fracking. she's already lost environmentalist vote

[HereSince1628]

36. Clinton and environmentalists...note to team...don't do anything to bring up Honduras

[islandmkl]

38. Quarterback throws ball directly to the opposing linebacker...

loses game...claims it's the other team's quarterback's fault...

uhh...fans not impressed...and the post-game interview does not go well...
