AntiVAX panderista, QUACK, & all-around hateful asshole Jill Stein just had a commercial on CNN.

[Maru Kitteh]

Open Secrets says that she had $235,000 cash on hand as of July 21. https://www.opensecrets.org/pres16/candidate.php?id=N00033776

What right-wing group is funneling money to the Green party now to get them ads on TV? Karl Rove and "American Crossroads" again?

Rove's habit of giving to anyone he thinks can weaken Hillary Clinton is well-documented (note, this is NOT about the primary which is WAY over - this is about ROVE working to weaken our nominee)

“American Crossroads and Bernie Sanders helped Nevada caucus-goers see right through Hillary Clinton’s manufactured zeal on immigration reform after spewing virulent Trump-like rhetoric—and that one-two punch shaved Clinton’s 50-point lead a year ago to a slim, single digit win,” Steven Law, Crossroads CEO and president, said in a statement.

Crossroads is one of several groups that has released ads that have been aimed at branding Sanders as the only true progressive in the race—a strategy the Vermont senator’s campaign also embraces.

“If it helps push the needle so that she loses a state, and she comes out a weakened candidate, then fantastic,” said Ian Prior, communications director for Crossroads.

[font size = 5] THIS IS WHY YOU DO NOT IGNORE THESE CRANKS AND LOONS![/font]

Stein and her band of puritopian jack-holes are not alone, and The Greens are NOT our allies.

1. This is why I don't ignore republicans.

Sanders hands were clean in this aspect. We cannot hold people accountable for Roves dirty tricks.

[Maru Kitteh]

4. Yes, his hands were clean, which is why I noted it is NOT about the primary. it's about

the simple fact that we cannot afford to ignore any opposition.

[LynneSin]

2. I wouldn't hold it past them. I remember when the right-wing funded a Green Candidate..

to run in the US Senate race of Rick Santorum vs. Bob Casey Jr.

Casey is not pro-choice, but he is also not abhorringly anti-choice either. Outside of the choice issue, Casey can run pretty progressive. And oh, Bob Casey Jr is very very popular in Pennsylvania whereas by 2006, Rick Santorum's name was pretty much shit in the Keystone state.

So to help shave off some points the right-wing funded a Green Party candidate. They found that a bulk of the signatures were faked but that's what you get when you pay people to collect signatures. Most of the money was traced back to right-wing groups.

Carl Romanelli (G)- rail industry consultant, and was removed from the ballot by a Commonwealth Court judge on September 25, 2006 following a challenge from Democrats for failing to collect enough valid signatures required of third-party candidates. He lost the appeal to the state Supreme Court challenging the required number of signatures, on October 3, 2006[10] Carl Romanelli was ordered to pay more than $80,000 in legal fees stemming from his failed effort to make the ballot.

Casey trounced Santorum by almost 20 points

3. Jill Stein (G-Moron) IS A FUCKING FASCIST!!!!!

She supports Donald Trump.

[Maru Kitteh]

5. Absolutely!

Her whole fucking commercial was "Trump is bad . . . BUT HILLARY IS FUCKING EVIL COME TO LIFE - SHE WANTS TO KILL CHILDREN AND DESTROY THE EARTH!

Stein is a fucking asshole, and she must not be ignored.

6. While I really despise Jill Stein, she is not an anti-vaxxer

[Maru Kitteh]

7. But she is an Anti-Vax panderista.

8. Is there a difference?

Besides, the healing crystal thing is even worse.

[Maru Kitteh]

13. Not so much.

Loonies don't deserve a pass, or kidd glove treatment, or their moonbat back-sides kissed.

Woo kills.

[still_one]

9. No doubt about it.

[BobbyDrake]

18. HUGE qualifier at the end of that article:

many others who proclaim to "support vaccinations" in concept effectively undercut their positions by raising objections to the "vaccination process" or the "vaccination industry."

Even Snopes had to admit that she was talking out of both sides of her mouth on this issue.

[still_one]

19. Good points. That is the game Robert Kennedy Jr. kind of takes now, but you're assessment is right

on

[brer cat]

11. Rove will use any means to shave points from Hillary.

Stein will be happy to take any $$ he throws her way even if it means electing Trump.

[wysi]

12. K & R

Stein should wander off back to MA. She's nothing more than a Karl Rove stooge.

[Maru Kitteh]

14. Go see if she can get elected lead dog catcher.

[glennward]

15. Are there any ads out there against Jill? or that remind voters about what happened in 2000?

[Maru Kitteh]

17. I don't know what the best approach should be or who should do it

But I"m a pretty big proponent of the "nip it in the bud" strategy.

It's like healthcare. Ignoring that little new little lump is seldom a good idea.

[EricMaundry]

16. Jill the Pill = GOP Stooge

21. Thanks for this, Maru~

22. Antivax is unfair

She isn't antivax, she is for safe vax as am I.
