For years, the alternative media has made repeated and desperate attempts to smear Hillary’s campaign, from inventing the discredited emails ‘scandal’, to hurling outrageous rape accusations at Bill. All of this has backfired however, as experts and respected media outlets continue to discredit these claims, each time further undermining the credibility of Hillary’s critics. The alternative media would like to portray Bill and Hillary as ruthless, corrupt psychopaths; but a close examination of their lives reveals a very different picture.
After serving his terms as President, in 2001 Bill Clinton founded the Clinton Foundation in order to raise money for those in need. Bill used his power and influence to raise funds from celebrities, executives and foreign leaders, making the Clinton Foundation one of the most successful and high profile charities in history. Through their foundation, Bill and Hillary have raised hundreds of millions of dollars for people in need, and provided food and shelter for millions of struggling people around the world, including the victims of the horrific earthquake in Haiti, AIDS victims in Africa and homeless people on the streets of New York City. Hillary has also recently refocused the foundation to cater to the needs of women and children, starting initiatives such as the healthy schools program, which works with companies like Coca-Cola, Cadbury, Mars and PepsiCo, to provide kids with healthy food choices and eating guidelines.
The alternative media would prefer to sweep these charitable contributions under the rug, and focus only on their smear attempts that aim to paint the Clinton’s as cold, greedy and corrupt. But an objective look at their work outside of public office shows a compassionate side to the Clintons that we rarely see in the media. Millions of poor people owe their lives to the generosity of the Clintons and the charitable work that they have done. Not only have Hillary and Bill dedicated their lives to public service – they have simultaneously carried out unprecedented philanthropic and charitable work not only within the United States, but across the world. This is the kind of initiative, experience and global consciousness that we need in a 21st century President. Someone who is courageous and compassionate, but also not afraid to make tough decisions when necessary. Bill and Hillary make a winning team, and it will be a tragic loss for America if we fail to elect Hillary this November.

In regards to Haiti, you can see the real contribution by the Clinton Foundation, and why Haitians have nothing good to say about their
"contributions." If you take the time to watch, you can see, like everything else the Clinton's partake in, they are very self-serving seeking only to enrich themselves.

Take your alt right propaganda back to zerohedge. I don't watch documentaries by non-accredited media corporations. If you've got something by CNN or MSNBC, then I'll take a look.
There are none so blind as those that refuse to see.... You are a prime example.
Well, that explains everything. If CNN or MSNBC didn't report, it didn't happen!! ha ha!

I hope this satisfies your intellectually curious mind.
According to that MSNBC article, there was nothing conclusive in the Clinton Cash film - only attempts to smear the Clintons and make them look greedy and corrupt. The Clinton campaign manager says that it's backed by zero evidence. Not convincing at all.
Agree. If CNN didn't report on it, then it didn't happen
Bill is so kind that 1000's of women have voluntarily allowed him to put his penis in them. It is also well documented that he has put his penis in several women against their will. "History has shown that great men have great libidos" Cokie Roberts
Hillary has consistently shown love, the love that only a mother knows.
Hillary collected hundreds of millions for Haiti, but only gave them about 5%.
In this way, Hillary gave the children of Haiti the greatest gift of all -- self respect. The kind of self respect that only comes through self reliance and refusal to be dependent on hand outs from others.
The 95% of contributions that Hillary received as fees are hardly sufficient compensation for this greatest gift of love and respect that she gave.
In this age of meaningless virtue signaling Hilary is truly a shining light.
Trump is a male and is a white male. What could he possibly know of love? He just builds buildings, avoids taxes and calls women of color Miss Piggy. Damm him.
Well I think the story that she only gave 5% is probably a lie; and if it's true I'm sure there's a legitimate reason for it. The media is scrutinizing both presidential candidates equally, and if there was any wrongdoing I think we would have heard about it by now.
I had heard that they passed on virtually nothing to Haiti, but people need to understand that the Clintons CARE. They have very good reasons for what they do, beyond naked self-aggrandizement. That's why TRUMP does things, not the Clintons. The Clintons are democrats and leftists; thus their motives are pure. If the Clintons pocketed most of the money going into the Clinton Foundation, then that simply reflects the high cost of doing charitable work in today's world.
Remember, Trump called a Latina a mean name 21 years ago- FOCUS on what is IMPORTANT.
I am so grateful that the Clintons have built a foundation for helping those in need across the globe. Without contributions from the Clinton Foundation, Haiti would not be as well-prepared as they are for Hurricane Matthew (gender neutral).
Many countless more lives will be saved in Haiti solely because of the Clintons, and i tear up just thinking about the benevolence of their beautiful family.
We also need Cis Madam Secretary Hillary Clinton's leadership in the White (paint color) House to strengthen the foreign and domestic agenda that Obama has created, following the collapse of American democracy under the Bush Administration.
We can see that some of the Bush-created hatefulness we see in America has now spread to the great state of France.
If America has a princess, cis her name is Kim Kardashian. AND AMERICA'S PRINCESS WAS TERRORIZED IN FRANCE BECAUSE OF THE HATE FOR ISLAM THAT THE UNITED STATES CREATED. Just because cis Kim Kardashian is of middle-Eastern descent cis she was tortured, terrorized, and mugged! Where is the outrage??
CIS MADAM SECRETARY HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT 1438 AH!
Allah bless you all.
I share your sentiments 2HCF. I think the Islamaphobic aspect of the attack on Kim Kardashian cannot be overlooked. Sadly Islamaphobia is on the rise all over the West, which is leading to shocking violence and hate speech against Muslims and Arabs. The hate needs to stop!!
Its so refreshing to find this perspective. All I knew was Ron Paul, zero hedge, and southfront. I felt like a lone wolf voice, until now.
Thank you for giving words to what seemed broken and meaningless thoughts.
Glad you liked the article Ted. Stay tuned for more daily accredited articles that discuss current affairs and social policy from a sensible, progressive mainstream perspective.
You're the best MDB. Really love and appreciate your commentaries!
Let us not also forget the contributions that the US agriculture lobby and American taxpayers have made to the Haitian people. By generous subsidy, US sugar growers are able to under price Haitian-grown sugar in world markets thereby freeing the Haitian people from the time-consuming and bothersome task of growing sugar. The Haitian people are now free to devote their time and energy to more important things such as poverty.
I'm split on this; on a hand my conscience tells me that those Haitian peasants who protest against such dumping are on the right side since we have a non white folk who denounce a group predominantly white (lobbyists), but unfortunately not for progressist reasons. They defend such backward concepts like 'work ethic' or 'self sufficiency' rather than to move in the capital to in order to live from mendicity and international aid. However we have to look at this from the other side, the average US tax payer who subsidise this dumping has a responsability in the American slavery 200 years ago and it can be considered as some form of reparation; also the big corporations who dump this sugar will boost their profits and their shares, so this benefit the economy. Finaly the tax payer will still pay for international aid, so it's a triple win. And my liberal heart is so broken when I see those images of begging children in Port au Prince that I write another check to the Clinton fundation
Yes. And all of those houses that the Clintons and Red Cross did not build will now not be destroyed by the incoming hurricane. This is forethought and planning, not butt-naked greed in its worst form. One needs to look beyond the obvious and if necessary invent pure motivations for things that would otherwise appear to be patently self-interested when it comes to the Clintons.
CNN says she is "ready" and Robert de Niro says she "has earned it." As a progressive, that's all I need to hear.
Absolutely correct. There are some things in this world that can not and should not be questioned. One of them is trust for Clinton family. They are the examples of highest pinnacles of morality and unselfishness!
