no image description available — Thanks, Arabian!!!

I’m stepping in sorta last minute to provide our evening hangout and gabfest space, so this will be short of newsy links. This is a Hillary Clinton supporters’ safe space. Bernie supporters are welcome if they’re nice. We’ve had some lovely Bernie peeps drop by, and they are always welcome under our Tardis-enabled Magic Bus.

Trolls will be dispatched with kindness, recipes and cute photos.

I've seen this article mentioned several times in comments here but felt it was important enough for a diary of its own.

NYT: The Right Baits the Left to Turn Against Hillary Clinton

For months now, America Rising has sent out a steady stream of posts on social media attacking Mrs. Clinton, some of them specifically designed to be spotted, and shared, by liberals. The posts highlight critiques of her connections to Wall Street and the Clinton Foundation and feature images of Democrats like Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York, interspersed with cartoon characters and pictures of Kevin Spacey, who plays the villain in “House of Cards.” And as they are read and shared, an anti-Clinton narrative is reinforced.
America Rising is not the only conservative group attacking Mrs. Clinton from the left. Another is American Crossroads, the group started by Karl Rove, which has been sending out its own digital content, including one ad using a speech Ms. Warren gave at the New Populism Conference in Washington last May.

“Powerful interests have tried to capture Washington and rig the system in their favor,” intones Ms. Warren, as images of Mrs. Clinton with foreign leaders flash by.

As the article makes clear, many liberals have taken the bait and are passing along messaging created by and serving the interests of these far right groups.

I'm a progressive Clinton supporter, so this doesn't make me happy. I doubt if it thrills the great majority of Bernie Sanders' backers either. Because they know, should he gain traction in the race, that the right wing attack machine has a plan for him, too.
