The criticism is legit but it is biased
The criticism is legit-- yes she turned down the invitation to that debate-- but it is biased. You did not criticize Obama and Edwards for not accepting this same invitation. No they haven't turned it down but they likely won't accept it either and risk losing union endorsements. Anyway you are roasting Hillary for "not accepting" the invitation, as of yet, to post a video on DFA's site. So why are you not ripping Edwards and Obama for "not accepting" this tribal groups invitation? Why only Hillary? Because you are biased.
You posted that incendiary headline "Hillary Clinton to Indian Country: Drop Dead" without even bothering to research her record. Without even bothering to find out that Hillary, along with Tom Daschle, was the co-organizer of the first ever Senate Democratic Native American Forum. Without bothering to look at her votes on appropriation bills for Native American issues.
Your desire to flame Hillary at the first instant, while leaving the other candidates alone, shows pure bias. So give me a fucking break. Hillary does not deserve to be accused of telling all native americans to drop dead just because she declined one specific group's invitation. Does she have to kiss the ass of every member of every minority group to be seen as being on their side? She also recently declined an invitation to some event in Iowa. Does that mean she is telling all Iowans to "drop dead" Of course not! Only someone highly manipulative and with a specific agenda would blow something like that out of distortion. You use the tactics of Fox News! You should retract that headline, it borders on being libelous and highly distorts the situation at best.
