And that is all you take away from this, huh? What does it take to convince you that Trump is totally unsuitable to be President? For him to actually shoot someone in Times Square like he bragged he could do without losing the election?
I'm not quite sure how the post went down this road, bit I suppose it was inevitable seeing as how the word "liberal" was included in the title.

I'm inclined to agree with Drawscore on this. The video was released to coincide with the delivery of the WikiLeaks documents. If that's his main takeaway from all this, I can't say I blame him. There's some pretty damning stuff in there. For example...
John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, stated in an email to Jennifer Palmieri, Director of Communications for Hillary's campaign,
"I know she has begun to hate everyday Americans, but I think we should use it once the first time she says I’m running for president because you and everyday Americans need a champion. I think if she doesn’t say it once, people will notice and say we false started in Iowa." Well isn't that just a huge slap in the face to the filthy little peasants that you need to win?
There is also a transcript from one of her Goldman Sachs speeches that says
"I’m kind of far removed because the life I’ve lived and the economic, you know, fortunes that my husband and I now enjoy." Clinton told members of Goldman-Black Rock in February 2014." Not particularly harmful, but certainly contradictory to the campaign she is running.
Perhaps the most sinister is Hillary Clinton surrogate Bill Ivey's email to campaign manger John Podesta. In it he says,
"And as I've mentioned, we've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce and unaware and compliment citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking - and not just poll-driven, demographically-inspired messaging." Consider what is being said here. This is an email from a Hillary Clinton surrogate to
Hillary's campaign manager bragging about Hillary and the DNC's efforts to create an unaware and compliant populace, and expressing concern over the fact that citizen compliance is fading. This is quite literally an admission to what the conservative and libertarian parties have accused the Democratic party of for years, and yet we hear nothing of these leaks because Donald Trump's vulgarity is too busy being slung all over the media.
So, yes. I can see why one might tend to focus a little more on Hillary Clinton's leaked transcripts. For me they carry a much larger weight and impact. They highlight the other side of her and her camp, the actual side that comes out at night when all the cameras and reporters are gone. And it is a side that she would rather us not see, hence the release of this little shitshow by Donald Trump.
All this said, I, like many other Americans, hate them both. I hate them both with a passion. They are despicable, degenerate human beings that have no moral character whatsoever, but were voted into these positions (one of which through sabotage and fraud) leaving us to be stuck with them.
As a general rule, I try to take political talk in small doses, and this is one of the places I come to escape from it. However, I think that these recent events carry some weight and can't afford to be overlooked.
