HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT

[HairOfTheDog]

They're just doing what organized smear campaigns always do: create a buzzword to represent a "scandal" and repeat it endlessly until it loses all meaning. Most people don't bother to research or read more than headlines: the worst detractors of Hillary would be hard pressed to actually describe what Benghazi was. Aside from a bullshit fiction propaganda movie that is. But if enough talking head say "emails" or "Gabriel" enough times, the exceptionally stupid among us will begin to repeat "well, Benghazi and the emails prove she's corrupt" without having the slightest idea what they're talking about.

Also, just to clarify: by "among us" I mean the exceptionally stupid here at mock

Well.........I don't think I'm in the 'exceptionally stupid at Mock' club, which is good because one is the loneliest number and all....

But, you might think I'm unexceptionally stupid because I understand why some smart people care about the email server and Benghazi controversies.

In my opinion, there is a lot of transparent bullshit propaganda and idiotic conspiracy theory floating around in regards to the Clintons. I agree with you there.

But, I do consider the private email server set-up and the way Clinton minimized and misled the public for over a year (about having explicit permission and being one of many Secs of States who did the same) very bad judgment and off-putting. Without assuming her motivation for using a home-grown server was anything nefarious, it still lessens her credibility, for me.

As for Benghazi, it was tragic. And, yes, similar attacks and deaths to Americans have gone down in unstable regions with American diplomats and government workers (under almost all US Presidents and Secs of State). However, in my opinion, Clinton's initial response seemed to be more motivated by a need/desire to defend the Libya intervention that she and Obama advocated than anything else. That too was off-putting to me, though I don't hate the Clintons at all (and think the House Benghazi Committee wasted a lot of tax payer money and really jumped the shark for political reasons only).

Anyway, as is often the case, it's the immediate handling and responses to the controversies that rubbed me wrong.
