(60,237 posts)ANY Clinton criticism. If I never see the made up word, combining CL with it, I would be very happy.
Not to mention, it is the Clinton people who bring up the extremely discredited "Vince Foster" whenever there is any discussion of any accusation at all.
While I agree that some here have sought out various right wing sources far too often, I think that many Clinton supporters are far too quick to counter any negative stories by trying to intimidate people by linking those charges to those things.
I am not a Clinton fan, but I have never thought she would not be the nominee -- and I know I will have to vote for her because on many issues important to me she is acceptable and the Republicans are not. It does not help Clinton to insult many people who she will need to win over by using intimidation rather than arguing the case for her on the issue being discussed.
I know there is a major theme that anyone not enamored with the idea of a HRC campaign needs to get with the program and learn to like it. That and the now accepted by the MSM theme that Bernie supporters are rude ignores the reality - that can be seen on DU - that both campaigns have some obnoxious supporters and many supporters, some that we have known for years, who are sincere in why they prefer one to the other and who have tried to make the case on issues.
