    You know when it might have been nice to have this Bush and 9/11 argument? Like starting on 9/12/01.

    Special Sauce, you do know that the forensics team that says this was a bunch of edited lies is a democrat funded organization, right? Do you also know that another forensics team(an independent firm called Coalfire) has cleared CMP of any wrongdoing?

    Yes, we told him this several months ago but I guess it's not convenient information to the angle he's desperately trying to work.

    Decided to do a little bit of digging. Only sites calling Coalfire independent and Fusion GPS democrats were conservative rags (read Breitbart et al)

    Citing the Breitbart article on this there's a massive logical consistency flaw

    http://www.breitbart.com/big-governm...eos-authentic/

    “The Coalfire report also confirmed that one segment of missing video highlighted by the Fusion Report was later uplaoaded in full to CMP’s YouTube page,”

    So removing conversations from their chronological order as well. The evidence for them is basically

    "Coalfire concluded that the “raw footage” provided by CMP “show no sign evidence of manipulation or editing. This conclusion is supported by the consistency of the video file date and time stamps, the video timecode, as well as the folder a file-naming scheme. The uniformity between the footage from the cameras from the two investigators also support the evidence that the video recordings are authentic.” "

    Seriously, listing file date and timestamps is hardly anything substantial

    http://www.howtogeek.com/203154/how-...s-and-folders/

    I'm not saying anything like these conversations never happened, this was a clear hit piece with editing that conveyed the mood/point that CMP wanted to get across. This wasn't an expose, it was a documentary at best.

    So let me ask you some basic questions.

    If you don't want a child what do you do?

    Not have a load shot in her.
    Take precautions with birth control and with condom.
    Get snatch sewn up aka birth control
    Guy get his sperm snipped

    No, you do not want to do the SMART and LOGICAL thing, but the most stupid....OOPS I was not smart enough to do the above, but government will take care of that oops.


    Sorry, Dems are stupid, REALLY REALLY stupid, no common sense WHATSOEVER.
    OK I guess this is the better example of stream of consciousness/verbal diarrhea

    What you just described has never happened in these scenarios.

    Killing is murder period? I guess I killed a fly this morning, better turn myself into cops. I ate a really ****ty breakfast, just shortened my lifespan, guess i better turn myself in. World isn't black and white, lots of gray all around us.

    Fusion GPS has a history of harassing social conservatives. Will you accept the WSJ as a legitimate source? This story here is from 2012. http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014...96412560038208

    It's a choice dimwit, shoot load, I can kill the baby if we don't want it.

    Or, use a jimmy, contraceptive, get a histo or any of the above so I would not have to kill a baby.

    Simple.

    And the guy who made these films has a history of making deceptive conservative youtube videos in the past (ACORN) and has worked with Breitbart.

    But no I won't accept WSJ editorial as a legitimate source.

    Some headlines from recent articles by that writer

    The Bernie Bomb

    The Real Benghazi Investigation

    A Clinton Email Scandal Checklist

    The Compassion of John Kasich

    Hillary’s Friends in High Places

    Check out her followup to that article

    http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014...87332636180800

    Seriously, you consider her a legitimate source?

    If only it was as simple as you pretend it is. I wish I lived in a world as black and white as you do. Would make my decisions a lot easier.

    Uh, yeah. She is. Just because she says things that make you feel uncomfortable doesn't make it untrue. Btw, you're awfully picky for someone who uses Salon and Huffpo as sources.

    I rarely use them as real sources. I'll link to articles where they site other sources. But rarely use them as sources. Typically I rely on you know BBC, AP, etc.

    And it has nothing to do with making me "feel uncomfortable" and everything to do with her clearly writing opinion pieces. Or at best conservative "news" pieces where they only look at one side of the coin (such as only interviewing the conservative involved0

    Well, this Hastert guy actually helped catch himself by passing the Patriot Act. What goes around comes around.

    "Hastert took credit for House passage in a 2011 interview, claiming it “wasn’t popular, and there was a lot of fight in the Congress” over it.

    Little did Hastert know at the time that the law he helped pass would give federal law enforcement the tools to indict him on charges of violating banking-related reporting requirements more than a decade later.

    The Department of Justice on Thursday announced Hastert's indictment for agreeing to pay $3.5 million in hush money to keep someone quiet about his “prior misconduct.” The indictment accuses Hastert of structuring bank withdrawals to avoid bank reporting requirements, and lying to the FBI about the nature of the withdrawals. It does not reveal the “misconduct” that Hastert was trying to conceal. The recipient of the money was a resident of Yorkville, Illinois, where Hastert taught high school and coached wrestling from 1965 to 1981.

    The indictment suggests that law enforcement officials relied on the Patriot Act’s expansion of bank reporting requirements to snare Hastert.

    $3.5 million. Jeebus. That would bury every whopper I've ever told three times over -- at least.

    It does seem excessive for just a little "misconduct".

    All of Hilary's scandals.

    the source or this thread.
    ///

    Denny Hastert became Speaker literally during the Clinton Impeachment Hearings.
    After Whitewater and Rose Law Firm and Vince Foster and a deluge of false charges sucked all the investigative air out of the room --
    Newt Gingrich then Bob Livingston resigned --- leaving DH

    Suppose Denny Hastert was investigated with the vigor HRC was and is ?

    It seems a scandal is a scandal simply because one entity pounds and pounds and pounds.
    Regardless the validity of the charges (birth certificate? )
    While , as in this case there was a real scandal lurking under the nose of DH's friends.

    There are Sandusky level accusations.

    I'm curious to see the reaction of this board and across the landscape the next time some hyperbolic charges are leveled to see if anyone learns anything

    I look forward to a measured, patient and compassionate responses from both sides when a scandal hits, and to the end of the hypocrisy of expecting politicians and others in positions of power to behave like saints in their personal lives. Maybe then some of these well-positioned predators will have less pomp and undeserved respect to hide behind.

    I would hope a scandal comes out of an investigation rather than an investigation coming out of a scandal
    That would be a start

    I get the politics of bloodying the opponent. That goes all the way back to the Greeks and the Romans
    But let's hope in this informed age, people learn to what is in fact malfeasance and what is manufactured

    I don't hold much hope
    ///

    But back to the original point, after being run through the sifter for 25 years
    No Hillary Scandal has had legs.
    Agree with her policies or not, not voting for her because of her "scandals" is stupid and uninformed
