A late Friday afternoon and Hillary releases her tax returns..
SHOCKING. :eyes: :eyes:

I wonder why she chose this specific time of the day at this specific time of the week to do so. :eyes:

1. It is obviously because she is so proud of her donations to charity.

8. Why shouldn't she be?
$10,000,000 is pretty nice.

15. If she is so proud, why release on a Friday afternoon?

18. Would the number be different on a Tuesday morning?
you guys are ridiculous.

For months it was "What is she hiding?!"

Now she's released them, and it's "Why on a Friday?!?!"

22. Apparently you don't understand what a 'news dump' is.

24. apparently you don't either
You do a news dump late in the day on a Friday, not four hours before the east coast evening news.

You do a news dump to try to HIDE something - nobody with half a brain cell thinks their tax returns would be ignored.

This is an idiotic attack - but not at all surprising.

25. Yeah, releasing something on a Friday afternoon isn't a news dump? LOL. More skewing of reality from
Hillary supporters.

26. Not this time
They were released far in advance of the evening news, it wasn't "hidden" in a bunch of other news releases.

It's an idiotic attack. Find something in the returns to criticize, if you can, but this is lame.

9. Yes and could i see your returns? please? did you donate 10 mill?
109 mill over 7 years minus 30 mill for taxes and 10 mill for charity. so 60 mill over 7 years. Not bad i am glad for them.They still make less than A-Rod and he really has done nothing.

11. Mind you Hillary herself made 5 times less than Bill.
Just for some perspective.

2. Careful, her supporters are back and full of piss and vinegar
attacking everyone on the site again and most of them are almost as hateful as the person they support.

5. I think they are just standing up to bullies.
And most of them are doing it with a great deal of class.

IMO, it has brought down some of the vitriol in here. You may choose to disagree, but I, for one, am very glad that they are back.

6. Uh.. have you read any of their posts?
exactly the opposite of class, more like militant attack dogs but yeah I can see the similarity.

7. Been reading all of them
Was especially taken with the "I Fuckin' Hate Him" one that rose to the top of the greatest page and the "There is a *good* reason to hate Barack Obama" one that's on the main page now. Yeah, those Clinton folks are really out of line. :sarcasm:

People are just really uncomfortable with women when they get pissed off and stand up for themselves. It's a lot easier to gang up on them and tell them to STFU.

10. I have two bosses and they are both women
who treat me well and I have the utmost respect for. For most of my life I have worked for well accomplished professionals in executive positions. Please don't play the gender card, regardless of gender I would never be able to stand the type of person Hillary is.

16. I dunno if you're a Hillary or Obama supporter, but I appreciate your sentiments here.
They're really great.

And the fact as to my uncertainity about who you support lends credence that you're pretty non-partisen (I'm here a lot, Hillary Defense Force and all; I really don't even think she'll win but I respect her as a politician).

20. Back at you.
I have noticed a few posters that really take the high road and you are one of them. Nothing but respect for you at this point.

29. Women? Don't think so. They come across more like cliquish high school kids.
I even have doubts that they are old enough to vote.

30. I will agree, but there is a portion of the Obama
camp that come across the same way.

On both sides there are mudslinging children with nothing of substance to say who just repeat each other. I'll give you that.

3. Not last years return though
When the returns are examined, there will be far more questions than answers.

12. What's worse for you is that there is nothing to use against her.
Too bad so sad.

Give it 24 hours.
I doubt you'll be so happy then.
