HRC GROUP: This is about a month old, but a worthwhile read

A friend sent this article out to a whole bunch of us today from Daily Kos. It seems like a good day to post it and share it with you all. When it comes to the Clintons, there is always a SCANDAL and HINTS OF DISHONESTY OR HYPOCRISY. (Things that never, ever, ever happen to Republican candidates ... oh, wait--was that a pig flying by?)

I'm tired of "crooked Hillary" --"She's going to be indicted!" -- "She took money from Wall Street!"

This article addresses so much of the BS that surrounds Hillary. I read it and bookmarked it because I see it as a great resource for dealing with all of the crazy I know I will see while volunteering this fall:

Personally, I would greatly prefer that my tax dollars go to some good use rather than relentless and pointless investigations of jack squat.

Good reminder of all the lies, attacks, and misconceptions that Hillary has endured.

If the MSM reported and cared about the truth, instead of sensationalizing everything, maybe it wouldn't be so easy for Republicans to get away with their lies.

Hillary is a good, kind and decent person.

Go Hillary!

Thank you for posting this; I hadn't seen it.

I am so grateful to all the members of the HRC group for posting such excellent reading material. I've learned a huge amount about Hillary from this group. And everything I read impresses me more than I thought possible.

Excellent read. I agree. Our tax dollars need to be better spent than on endless partisan witch hunts.

Not supposed to notice Donald Trump, proud scam artist is regularly calling Hillary Clinton “Crooked Hillary” and getting away with it?

And again: why is Hillary being held to a standard that never appears to be applied to her male counterparts? Am I not supposed to notice that a media frenzy has been aimed at Hillary Clinton for accepting speaking fees of $225,000 while Donald Trump has been paid $1.5 MILLION on numerous occasions with hardly a word said about it? Am I supposed to not notice that we are now in an election season in which Donald Trump, a proud scam artist whose involvement in “Trump University” alone is being defined by the New York Attorney General as “straight-up fraud”, is regularly calling Hillary Clinton “Crooked Hillary” and getting away with it?
