Dis Coarse Discourse 0

A newspaper editor who has spent two and a half decades covering the Clintons delivers her judgement on the Hillary Clinton scamdals. A snippet; follow the link for the full story:

I would be “dead rich”, to adapt an infamous Clinton phrase, if I could bill for all the hours I’ve spent covering just about every “scandal” that has enveloped the Clintons. As an editor I’ve launched investigations into her business dealings, her fundraising, her foundation and her marriage. As a reporter my stories stretch back to Whitewater. I’m not a favorite in Hillaryland. That makes what I want to say next surprising.

Hillary Clinton is fundamentally honest and trustworthy.

Remember that Republicans have spent 25 years lobbing made-up dirt at the Clintons.

When you find yourself thinking, “Hillary Clinton can’t be trusted,” ask yourself, are you basing your statement on facts or on what Republicans said?

Picture of Karl Rove moving a chess piece.  Caption:  If you're liberal and think that Hillary Clinton is corrupt and untrustworthy, you're playing the GOP's game.

Remember, the Clintons have been the targets of a quarter-century-long campaign of Republican disinformation, propaganda, and lies, faithfully echoed by a media which has abandoned fact-checking for “he-said-she-said” under the guise of “objectivity.” The next time you find yourself thinking, “I don’t trust Hillary,” ask yourself, “Is my conclusion based on something she has done or on something Republicans have said?”

And remember, I don’t “like” Hillary and I certainly don’t want to have a beer with her–a Scotch maybe, not a beer. Furthermore, as my two or three regular readers know, I was not a fan of her tactics in the 2008 campaign for the nomination, but I think that, in her conduct since, she has redeemed herself. I find her competent, capable, trustworthy, and electable.

(I also like Bernie. I think he is competent, capable, trustworthy, and unelectable. An avowed socialist is not electable in this country, full stop, however benign his socialism may be.)

I like to vote in the real world. Electability matters.
