HRC to censor, demand contact information of comics that poked fun of her

[Rudeboyelvis]

Yes thank God that finally a "left-leaning" e-rag called the Clinton campaign to get the formal denial. Knowing her track record, she most certainly would have fessed up to it if it were true. All better now. That was close.

For the record, the club owner (a registered democrat) stands by the story.

The fact is, no one except the caller knows the validity of the threat.

I'm just glad I can finally sleep knowing it is 100% false now that the Clinton campaign said so.

But right leaning rags are to be believed? honestly tho, think for a minute. Would the clinton campaign behave in such a ham handed way? Common sense would say no, that a well oiled political machine wouldnt give two shits about a video from some comics...that if they did, this is how they would handle it??
the guy only knows someone called, and said what they said. When it comes down to it, does anyone really think this is how they would do this?
i loathe hilary clinton, but i find this particular story to be bs.

RBE, it's the common sense test. Why on earth would a campaign call a comedy club and complain, nay, threaten, over the same stale jokes that have been told about Clinton since the mid 1990s? The only thing that club needs to be threatened over is putting up comedy routines that smell like mothballs.

If anything, the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy should be kicking themselves for the 20 years of Clinton hate, because they've given Hillary two decades of practice at how to deflect the attacks. All the Benghazi stuff did was increase her campaign donations. She's got thick skin now, as evidenced by the tweet her campaign put out after the hearings:



I'm okay with her as a candidate. Not in love, as I'm a liberal and she's a Rockefeller Republican if ever I've seen one (the only reason anyone would mistake her for a progressive is because the GOP slate are so far gone with the radical right rhetoric they make Robert W. Welch, Jr. poke his head out of his grave to say, "Uh, guys, maybe you should tone it down a bit?"). But she'll do. She's been a Senator and a SoS and was trying to fix the healthcare system back in the early 1990s, before the rest of the nation knew how bad things were going to be. I give her props for seeing the problem then.

My big issue is that I don't like political dynasties, no matter what letter is after the person's name, D or R. But historically speaking, many of the first women to hold a political office were a spouse or widow of the man who held it before them, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised the highest office in the land might follow the same pattern. And America seems to like our political dynasties, so I think I'm in the minority there.

As I stated - we don't know if an over-zealous campaign volunteer took it upon themselves to "go rouge" as it were, if it was blessed by someone on her staff (win-win...plausible deniability with no physical evidence) , or if it was a hoax.

No one does. Except the caller.

I think what is most telling is that this had legs, and was believable, BECAUSE of who she is - based on her track record of poor judgement, and her ceaseless defense/cover up of said poor judgements.

Believing the story is doing exactly what ISIS wants us to do.

Well played, sir. Reminds me of a graphic that made was repurposed and made its way around the interoobs this week:

Well, everything that the liberal intelligentsia doesn't like or doesn't want us to do is either doing exactly what ISIS wants us to do, or is a cause (or effect) of global warming, er, climate change . . . or both.
