In reply to the discussion: OOOPS! Hillary's foundation received 81 million through Swiss Bank Acct under Investigation [View all]woo me with science
(32,139 posts)77. Your standard response, which has been repeatedly exposed as the empty PR it is.
Hillary's actual record in support of corporate economic, war, and police state policies is clear and indisputable, notwithstanding how *votes* are routinely manipulated and rotating villains used to create PR like this for corporate politicians who plan to run for office.
The Democratic Partys deceitful game
They are willing to bravely support any progressive bill as long as there's no chance it can pass
http://www.salon.com/2010/02/23/democrats_34
...The primary tactic in this game is Villain Rotation. They always have a handful of Democratic Senators announce that they will be the ones to deviate this time from the ostensible party position and impede success, but the designated Villain constantly shifts, so the Party itself can claim it supports these measures while an always-changing handful of their members invariably prevent it. One minute, its Jay Rockefeller as the Prime Villain leading the way in protecting Bush surveillance programs and demanding telecom immunity; the next minute, its Dianne Feinstein and Chuck Schumer joining hands and breaking with their party to ensure Michael Mukaseys confirmation as Attorney General; then its Big Bad Joe Lieberman single-handedly blocking Medicare expansion; then its Blanche Lincoln and Jim Webb joining with Lindsey Graham to support the de-funding of civilian trials for Terrorists; and now that they cant blame Lieberman or Ben Nelson any longer on health care (since they dont need 60 votes), Jay Rockefeller voluntarily returns to the Villain Role, stepping up to put an end to the pretend-movement among Senate Democrats to enact the public option via reconciliation.
Your post uses a standard corporate propaganda tactic of trying to create "debate" over reality itself, i.e. Hillary's clear, documented, and aggressive ties to and support of the corporate economic, war, and police state agenda and policies, as extensively documented in my links above.
*Of course* Hillary is right-wing corporatist. We watch her being one - arranging bloody right-wing coups, shilling for war, authoring predatory "trade"agreements, opposing raising the cap on SS, attacking whistleblowers, schmoozing with Kissinger and the Forbes 400 - every single day.
Now, you will continue, of course. But I will not feed further blatant "2+2=5."

Nope. Warren "hopes she runs", said "she's terrific", and "terrific"= intense, causing terror.

I Agree 100%, it's only an appearance of a conflict but it sure looks suspicious-Hillary needs 2 clear this up pronto 2 have any chance at the nomination.

Vanilla, I would think as an ardent Hillary supporter, which I respect, you would agree that Hillary should address & clear up what you admit is an apparent conflict of interest...
