Didn't the Podesta emails reveal that the dnc engaged in efforts to promote trump as a legitimate and viable candidate? Yes. Did those email show collaboration between camp hilltard and the cnn, the nyt and other so-called legitimate news sources? Yes.
And we're supposed to be concerned with a "hacking" campaign that resulted in those email being published because it undermines our democracy? LOFL
This is rough ridin' psychotic.
This pretty well sums it up. It may
seem crazy, but this is exactly what the Democrats needed for their base. The election must be deligitimized. In 2000 it was Bush Stole The Election. In 2016 it is The Russians Hacked the Election.
Meanwhile conservatives can sit back and just soak it all in, enjoying the rank hypocrisy and irony layered upon irony. Here's my running list:
- Dems super butthurt thinking that Russian propaganda surpassed their own media's propaganda
- The Dems accused their opponents of McCarthyism for decades, until November 2016. Now they suddenly seeing Russians under every bed.
- Dems super butthurt about a foreign power rigging an election, while simultaneously trying to rig other nations' elections, including allies.
- Dems super butthurt that the Russians plotted to help Trump win - which is exactly what the Dems did during the GOP primary.
- Dems crowing that the Russians preferred Trump - just like they preferred Obama in 2008 and 2012.
- Dems super angry that the hacking exposed their true contempt for Americans and for democratic elections, including the DNC primary.
- Hillary's campaign manager falling for a spearphishing email that is designed to snare naive grandparents.
- The party that swore up and down that Hillary running top secret info through a private email server in a bathroom closet are suddenly super worried about cyber security.
- The party that screamed about intelligence failures with Iraq WMD is totally willing to accept current conclusions at face value.
- At the time the hacking occurred the DNC refused to assist the FBI in investigating but now wants a blue ribbon commission.
- The Dems did NOTHING when China hacked the White House and the OPM, but now we've gotta get serious!!!
I'm probably leaving a few out.
