I think that a recent diary got pulled down when I was in the middle of responding to it.
So since I can no longer respond to that diary, I'm just going to share my comment here and apologize that I can't link to that diary.
The basic topic of that diary was to urge the use of caution in citing sources of negative or critical information about Hillary Clinton because several GOP superpacs have been putting out attacks against her from the left.
There's some odd timing referenced in this diary
It says that they started focus groups right after the 2012 election to identify the most effective lines of attack.
Then it says that based on those focus groups, they developed ads:
The ads highlighted Mrs. Clinton’s deleting of emails from her private account, tried to tie her to President Obama, portrayed her as distant from middle-class Americans and sought to persuade women that they do not need to support her because of her gender.
The criticism of Clinton's email arrangement didn't come out until March of this year, so these ads couldn't have been created before that.
Now, it would not surprise me in the least if trolling right wingers are repeating democrats' criticisms of Hillary and trying to play those weaknesses up.
And I don't disagree that it's wise and prudent to be careful about the sources you rely on for information.
If something is true, you ought to be able to find a valid, credible source for it.
But I hardly see how trolling right wingers should dictate anything we say or think, about Hillary or Bernie or Martin O'Malley for that matter. Like, if they say it, now nobody else can say it? Talk about shutting down reasonable inquiry and creating a groupthink mentality, just like Mitt Romney's campaign experienced in 2012...
So on the whole, I appreciate the warning about sources, but I reserve the right to criticize every candidate on their policies and past votes or actions in office. And I will carefully consider the sources - I will prefer the most credible sources and remain skeptical of those I don't consider trustworthy.
