Hillary vs Bernie--Concord, NH.

Ok, this is from a pretty RW blog so take it with a grain of salt BUT some of you may find this rather interesting.
"Yikes. Hillary Stumps to Half-Empty Room at New Hampshire College"
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/09/yikes-hillary-stumps-to-half-empty-room-at-new-hampshire-college/

However what I found telling were the photos contained within.
She has major problems and it's beginning to really show.

There were about 350 people for that HC event,
and Bernie will be at the same location this Sunday,
and 1,300 people have already RSVP'd for Bernie.

funded the now infamous attack by Brock on Bernie, their IDs are hidden, as he expected to be.

What that says about her, since she hasn't condemned certainly isn't going to help her campaign one bit.

The first was a private fundraiser in hoity toity Cape Elizabeth, Maine

The other was at a Middle School in Portland. The newspaper says that there were 400 in attendance, but that apparently includes some of the middle schoolers.

Seriously, her two overflows in one day should be documented somewhere if it actually happened.

You may have not been lying, may be. Maybe you were just blindly clinging to a unsubstantiated tweet.

Keep trying.

Here is a helpful post.
Pic is a quaint colloquialism for the word picture. Picture is a word to describe an image whether by paint, photography or even imagination. We are not asking for a pic from imagination but one from a photograph. This needs a camera to be able to capture a live event and through its technology it is able to store and then replicate it.

We would very much like to see some replications of these events. This is what morningfog is requesting.

Numbers...well those come from counting. The numbers being requested are actual counts of humans at the events. Usually there is an "official number", that is the one morningfog is requesting.

Why does morningfog requests such things? Because that is the agreed upon metric that this site has for verifying data.

I'm sorry but I wasn't aware it was StormFront but ok.
Those photos are BS? Ya, I can tell, they were photoshopped, right? lol Hilarious.
Ironically if you happen to look, one of the tweets happens to be from the Washington NBC producer.

Now though what did I say? "Take it with a grain of salt", did I not? What did I illustrate however? The photos. Where did those come from? Twitter and embedded on said website. Who posted the tweets? A FOX corespondent and a NBC Washington producer.
What does the story show?
That Hillary isn't drawing the crowds that she *should* be. You, since you support her, should be very concerned.
Nice tangent though to go off on.

You might want to look up the meaning of the word, "hypocrite."

At least this poster SAID this was a right-wing site and didn't try to pass it off through Alan Colmes.

If you have a legitimate story to share or a valid point to make you will find something other than a right wing hate site to link to! Please find a legitimate news outlet for your story.

I linked to the story which had embedded tweets from Twitter. Let's not spin it too much. I think the story is quite valid and shows that America isn't buying the whole "Who wants to be a celebrity President" thing. Did you both to look and see who posted the tweets? I'm guessing no.

You're repeating yourself and the valid story? I think the tweets and photos summed it perfectly. I guess you missed the whole "with a grain of salt" part didn't you. But seeing as how you seem rather upset, let me help you out.

You link to a right wing hate site .... no matter how much you applaud the story on a right wing hate site .... it remains a story from a right wing hate site.

Delete your original post. Repost the content you want sourced from an acceptable site. Or not, and continue to take a justified ration of shit for linking to a right wing hate site.

More like attack the messenger. Yadda yadda yadda.
Sad people manage to not see the whole "take this with a grain of salt" and instead warp things to fit their own agenda.
Have fun with that.
