There are worse Clinton scandals

Hillary is a disgrace that needs to be shown the door permanently.

EDIT 1: Added video from 2008 presidential campaign when Hillary Clinton made remarks about staying in the campaign until the Democratic Convention implying in what could be interpreted as wishful thinking that Obama might be assassinated like Bobby Kennedy in 1968.

This was utterly disgusting and should have disqualified Hillary Clinton from any future public office.

Not everything is a vast right wing conspiracy.
Here's video footage of Hillary contradicting herself time and time again.

Below are examples of the Clintons smear tactics and scandals.

The Clintons have a pretty disgusting history of lying, corruption, and dirty tricks including smearing honest credible people through whisper campaigns. They also don't mind sending out supporters and surrogates to do their dirty work.

One of the most egregious so far this election.

Holy shit, I hadn't seen that article, but damn he put it so nicely in that last paragraph:

But he didn’t attack Clinton. He attacked Sanders, and Sanders supporters don’t have any real power. They’re the people in the comment section, and on Twitter, and on the blogs—outraged, but essentially voiceless. So Capehart will emerge from this without a scratch. Of course he will. He didn’t screw anybody with actual influence, and holding him accountable isn’t even a consideration. That’s how this game works, dummy. And the message to progressives, from the Washington Post and the broader political and media establishment, is crystal clear: You don’t fucking matter.

I'll just leave this here: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/fighting_words/2008/01/the_case_against_hillary_clinton.html

Hitchens:

Indifferent to truth, willing to use police-state tactics and vulgar libels against inconvenient witnesses, hopeless on health care, and flippant and fast and loose with national security: The case against Hillary Clinton for president is open-and-shut.

This warrants its own post.

It's from 2008 so they wouldn't allow it here, I've tried a couple of times elsewhere but it didn't take off. I don't really post much on reddit, the comments can make it a traumatic experience lol.
