Thread Name: BS: Understanding the other political side
Subject: RE: BS: Understanding the other political side
BB: Comey obviously did not find Hillary's behavior criminal. He and the FBI did a thorough going over of her email, including the spill-over/ copies found on her aide's husbands computer. I think that justifies his comment that she could have handled the emails better, but it was emails not secrets.
I'm pretty sure that there were comments to the effect that other highly placed government officials such as Colin Powell, handled their email with less than official discretion.

As for Hillary getting away with something, I think that is obviously fallacious.

I've listened to folks like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and they are not in any manner purveyors of truth. They are similar to The Current Occupant in that they are BSers. They tell neither lie nor truth. They continually toss stuff at the wall until something sticks. They've been doing it for years. I think there is an atmosphere of contempt on their parts for anyone who either bothers to argue against such obvious crap and even a little more for those who swallow it whole.... Remember Trump's "I love the uneducated!" No lie there.

Now BB: you might just be spinning up folks your own self, so I'm not going to get into a whole 'thing' with you here. There is plenty wrong with some of the so-called Liberals out there, there is a maximizing of 'identity politics', a fresh term for an old and legitimate practice, which borders on racism. But that is relatively minor in the totality of American politics.

Besides, harping on Hillary is a loser's tactic IMHO. It's a clear diversive tactic on the part of the FOX bloviators who are constantly drawing attention from Trump using the argument: "Who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes?"

I think you're better than that.
