Despicable.

Did Sanders Lie About Clinton’s Oil Money? NPR Factchecker Can’t Be Bothered to Check
Clinton has gotten $1,465,610 in bundled and direct donations from lobbyists currently registered as lobbying for the fossil fuel industry.”

And corporations can’t give directly to campaigns, but they can give to Super PACs that support campaigns. Greenpeace cites “$3,250,000 in donations from large donors connected to the fossil fuel industry to Priorities Action USA, a Super PAC supporting Secretary Clinton’s campaign.”

… the Clinton Foundation lists its donors on its website. There you can learn that the Foundation has received at least $10 million from Saudi Arabia; at least $5 million from Kuwait, as well as from oil-refining billionaire Mohammed H. Al-Amoudi; at least $1 million from ExxonMobil, natural gas-producer Cheniere Energy, Qatar, Oman, United Arab Emirates, the Dubai Foundation, “Friends of Saudi Arabia,” etc.

And then, if you really want to be kept up at night, there’s this: HILLARY CLINTON: FUELING AMERICA’S ENERGY FUTURE

Bernie isn’t a liar.

had to add this great comment from JekyllnHyde:

In Case if Barney Frank or Anyone Else is Confused

… here’s what McCarthyism was all about, as I pointed out in my two-part diary about Paul Robeson a few years ago.

To even refer to Bernie’s criticism of Hillary in the same breath similar to tactics used by the likes of Joe McCarthy is not only disingenuous, but intellectually lazy rhetoric.

Simply stated, the McCarthy Era was one of the most disgraceful periods in 20th century American history. An air of suspicion hung over ordinary citizens if they were suspected of not conforming to the government's interpretation of being a "good" American. Numerous Americans underwent investigation by federal authorities until Senator Joe McCarthy was censured by the United States Senate. He died a broken man a few years later.

"Guilty until found innocent" was often the approach used by investigators to tar many Americans with wild, unproven allegations of consorting with the enemy. Loyalties were questioned, reputations tarnished, careers destroyed, families uprooted, and lives ruined. Many notable Americans from the entertainment industry were put on lists which made their lives miserable.
