    Yes, I read it.

    The portion you refer to above? A response to the accusations from Brian Fallon...a Clinton campaign spokesman.

    Interesting that I'm putting forward information from the NYT's investigation (see below) and you're putting forward spin from the Clinton campaign. Good job. Good effort.

    Here's the headline from the NYT piece.

    Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal

    Here's some more "particularly interesting" quotes.

    In other words, they broke a pledge to Obama too...huh.

    Just happens to get half a million dollars for a speech in Moscow right after. No funny timing there eh?

    Special ethical challenges...uh....YEAH.

    Indeed.

    This is what SHOULD have happened to this Uranium deal.

    Self explanatory of the danger of this STUPID deal.

    Anything else to add CometsWin? Or just more weaksauce...

    DWS got a bounce too, let's not forget that. Of course, per the DNC, Hillary supporters are easily duped and could think this is a good thing

    The bad news ain't over........sucks to be a Democrat.

    Julian Assange: "Any DNC staffer could be the leaker... Like the one killed last week"

    -27-Year-Old DNC Staffer Seth Rich Shot Dead

    -Worked as voter expansion data director

    -"There had been a struggle. His hands were bruised, his knees are bruised, his face is bruised, and yet he had two shots to his back, and yet they never took anything"

    -Nothing stolen from him.

    http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Man-Shot-Killed-in-Northwest-DC-386316391.html

    Very suspicious considering the leaks recently coming to light.

    WTF is this bull****?

    So . . . either Assange knows who the leaker is, or he doesn't know.

    If he doesn't know, then he should STFU.

    If he does know, then he probably shouldn't be pulling this unfortunate murder victim into his rhetorical game. If he does know who the leaker is, he's just talking **** right now.

    Just use some critical thinking here. Forget Assange.

    A man was shot in the back and murdered. This same guy happens to be in charge of data for the DNC. The DNC had just been exposed for corruption by release of a large amount of data from their email servers. You don't think there's a chance this guy was involved in the leak and the DNC retaliated? I'm not saying this is fact, and I'm not into conspiracy theories, but when you put two and two together it does seem suspicious considering he was killed the week of the email release.

    Forget Assange? He's the guy who put the idea into your head.

    No, I don't think the DNC committed murder after the leak had already occurred.

    But I am glad you are discussing this crucial issue. Imagine if Russia really is behind it. That's very aggressive action against the United States.

    conservative repubtards love them some jesus but i hate all religions. so my post makes perfect sense and it's clear i'm not a repubtard.

    i clearly do while you clearly don't. if you knew history you would know there was two types of slaves, field negros and house negros. the house negro always looked out for his master. today's DNC members are being treated exactly the way a house negro would be treated and the house negros are looking out for their DNC master. i just tell it like it is, sorry if you don't understand or if it hurts your feelings.

    full libertarian is too wacky for me. i preach and practice moderation in my life and that includes my politics. my approach means that i like and dislike from all parties and ideologies. i approach my politics a la carte if you will.

    always. logic, reason, and moderation all important to me.

    you're an adult, don't let my shocking language scare you like a b****. use your brain and examine what i'm saying. the world is harsh and sometimes adults use harsh language to describe and make sense of it.

    It doesn't shock me. I've heard lots of racist statements. I just kinda think the people who make them are ignorant and reprehensible.

    yea but it's not racist to equate the DNC and it's members to those words i used. just admit that how the crooked DNC acted is like the slave master, what it's followers and supporters are doing is akin to the house negros, and bernie and his supporters are treated as the field negros getting put in check by the house negros who do the master's bidding. in fact house negros loved the master more than he loved himself. today still have different forms of house and field negros and it has nothing to do with race or racism.

    hear listen to the hard cold truth and maybe you'll understand.

    It's not just a quote by a spokesman, it's a direct part of the article that is confirmed later in the article by her spokesman. Read the whole article. I know you lost your **** when Breitbart posted a bunch of old articles but really no need to lie dude. Stop lying.


    Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States. Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clinton’s wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton.


    Later in the article.

    In a statement, Brian Fallon, a spokesman for Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign, said no one “has ever produced a shred of evidence supporting the theory that Hillary Clinton ever took action as secretary of state to support the interests of donors to the Clinton Foundation.” He emphasized that multiple United States agencies, as well as the Canadian government, had signed off on the deal and that, in general, such matters were handled at a level below the secretary. “To suggest the State Department, under then-Secretary Clinton, exerted undue influence in the U.S. government’s review of the sale of Uranium One is utterly baseless,” he added.

    So please search your Breitbart sources and debunk the stated fact that multiple agencies have to sign off on uranium deals because it's a strategic asset. Thanks.

    Jesus dude, you have lost your damn mind. Get a grip of yourself. Go find us some more articles that you didn't give a damn about last year.

    The history of African slaves isn't so "black and white". If you were familiar with the history of African slaves in the Americas you would know that the so called "house negro" was often the most radical. There are numerous documented cases of "house negros" killing or attempting to kill their masters through the use of poisoned food or ground up bits of class placed into the food.

    If they could get away with it, a lot of these domestic slaves would spit in the food they were serving to the masters. The "docile house slave" narrative is dated and incorrect.

    I have spent the last decade intensely searching for and studying my African heritage and roots. What about you?
