Clinton keeps $170k from firm notorious for sexual harassment
I tried to keep a open mind about HRC, but the more I see the more its very easy for her to take the low road. And it seems many of her backers do so only because shes a woman.


"Sen. Hillary Clinton has declined to return $170,000 in campaign contributions from individuals at a company accused of widespread sexual harassment, and whose CEO is a disbarred lawyer with a criminal record, federal campaign records show.

"This is by far, hands down, the worst case I've ever experienced," said Diane Smason, one of the EEOC lawyers handling the lawsuit. "Every woman there experienced sex harassment, they were part of a hostile work environment of sex harassment. And this occurred from the top down."

13. Certainly Hillary does not give a fuck
you may find it petty - but it is just part of a much larger pattern...

it is a total lack of any character on her part that makes her unqualified to lead.

10. I would think all the Hillary supporters crying about sexism would
Here we have a significant donor for Hillary accused of sexual harassment of scores of women, and yet the most vocal complainers about the rampant sexism here seem to be remarkably quiet.

12. Wow. Just, Wow. I cannot believe you're saying that.
The millions of women in the workplace give a fuck. Why the hell did women even bother fighting for protection in the first place, if they didn't give a fuck???
