Hillary is a corpratist warmongering shit. Dick Morris is criticizing her for not being enough of a corpratist, warmongering shit.
. Bottom line: She goes hand in hand with the ACLU on far too many issues where common sense is abandoned
If one defines common sense as the bill of rights and the basic values that americans fought for then yes that is true.

the bill of rights
Wait: Why are you using the plural here?
There's the 2nd Amendment, and that's it.
Isn't it cute when small-government libertoonians always choose precisely those rights which jibe with gun nut craziness and further enriching the wealthy? It's uncanny.

To do so she is coloring the aforementioned into, the government co-opting the citizens. IOW enslaving them...

Ah yes, number 6 from the top left. And number 8. We definitely have some number 3s.
Jeeze, and these are just the first 8 of 24 types.

Well it's just a cartoon.
To hear you go on about it, you'd think it's a Liberal Federally funded "Study"...
I'm sure it would qualify.

It's more like Liberpublicans are so easily Characterized in a few small one-panel frames.

I deleted my earlier comment, because it turns out Dick Morris did write part of what is attributed to him above. It's still a silly e-mail forward that 'truthers' / birthers / etc spread around because (a) they are too lazy to check facts themselves and/or (b) they are too dishonest to care.
But you want to use Snopes as a verifiable source?
You're right actually, a better source led me to the original article on DickMorris.com where he actually wrote some of the things above in the OP, along with criticism of Republican candidates. The e-mail forward copies the anti-Hillary excerpts out of context and wraps them in a ball of who knows what.
Serious and honest writers link to their sources. Lazy dishonest mutts don't.
I am sorry for reacting hastily to what seemed yet more indigiot mutt-baiting, but that is mostly what the OP was about. The same thing happened to me once with a tovbot post, amazingly it did contain one sentence that supported tovbot's cherry-picked headline even though 90% was directly contrary.

Actually, Dick Morris isn't a bad source
Could you be less informed? He was fired by Fox for - unbelievably - inaccuracy.
He tells wingnuts what they want to believe - as good a way as any to be amazingly wrong.
The Dick Morris Award (originally the Von Hoffman Award, until readers pushed for a name-change last year) is given for stunningly wrong political, social and cultural predictions.
The 7 Worst Predictions Of Dick Morris - Who Was Just Let Go By Fox News
Dick Morris is out at Fox News, three months after his embarrassingly awful prediction that former Republican nominee Mitt Romney would win the 2012 election in a "landslide."
But Morris' inaccuracy is a longstanding feature of his punditry that, until now, never befell his employment. Pundit Tracker rated him the Worst Pundit of 2012, with only six of his 30 prognostications coming true.
Here are some of his worst predictions throughout the years:

Is Dick Morris the world's worst political pundit?
Morris' ability to make statements and predictions that are often so, so wrong is exceptional. He has been called the "worst pundit in America". The more cynical among us might argue that the word "America" should be replaced with "world". Indeed, to recall all of Morris's spectacular failures would require more space than Santa is allotted for his Christmas list.
Instead, I bring you ten fun and exciting Dick Morris audios, images, videos (in chronological order). Most of these are forecasts, hilarious for just how wrong they were. I cannot guarantee them as the top ten of all time: there are just too many Dick Morris moments from which to choose, so please feel free to note any choices that I've omitted in the discussion thread.
...2. North Korea and Iran will cave
I guess Morris thought that if he couldn't predict elections, then he might do better with the actions of foreign governments. Apparently, Bush's foreign policy was going to bring Iran and North Korea to their knees and force them to cooperate with the United States. Eight years later, Iran continues to back the Syrian government and is as close to war with Israel as it's ever been. Oh, and North Korea is as much a mystery and a headache as ever....9. Obama to secretly take our guns away on 27 July...
10. The "real polls"
Dick Morris, 'The Worst Pundit of 2012'
PunditTracker has graded 30 predictions made by Morris, six of which were correct, giving him a 20 percent hit rate. Among the highlights, Morris predicted that Romney would get 325 electoral votes, win the national election by 4 to 8 percentage points, win Michigan, win Pennsylvania, win Nevada, win Wisconsin, win New Hampshire, and win Ohio. He also predicted that Republicans would retake the Senate. (Morris offered a mea culpa after the election: "I called it as I saw it from the polling, and I did the best I could... and at the time that I said it, I believe I was right," he said.)
PunditTracker figures that "if you bet $1 on each of Morris’ calls in a virtual political betting market, you would have lost 70% of your money."

Was he or was he not up close and personal with the Clintons?
This is a YES or NO question.
Yes.
Which makes it even more amazing that he is a completely unreliable source on even their motives and next moves.

What's that say about the Clintons? Having hacks like Morris, Sid Blumenthal and uber-hack David Brock formally carrying their water?
Truth or Fiction has confirmed the authorship is from Dick Morris.
The facts on Hillary keep spilling out….
Bill Clinton's Loving Wife
By Dick Morris
former political adviser to President Bill Clinton.
If you happen to see the Bill Clinton 5-minute TV ad for Hillary in which he introduces the commercial by saying he wants to share some things we may not know about Hillary's background, beware. As I was there for most of their presidency and know them better than just about anyone, I offer a few corrections.
Bill says: "In law school, Hillary worked on legal services for the poor."
The facts are: Hillary's main extra-curricular activity in law school was helping the Black Panthers, on trial in Connecticut for torturing and killing a federal agent. She went to court every day as part of a law student monitoring committee trying to spot civil rights violations and develop grounds for appeal.
Bill says: "Hillary spent a year after graduation working on a children's rights project for poor kids."
The facts are: Hillary interned with Bob Truehaft, the head of the California Communist Party. She met Bob when he represented the Panthers and traveled all the way to San Francisco to take an internship with him.
Bill says: "Hillary could have written her own job ticket, but she turned down all the lucrative job offers."
The facts are: She flunked the DC bar exam; yes, flunked. It is a matter of record, and only passed the Arkansas bar. She had no job offers in Arkansas - none - and only got hired by the University of Arkansas Law School at Fayetteville because Bill was already teaching there. She did not join the prestigious Rose Law Firm until Bill became Arkansas Attorney General and was made a partner only after he was elected Arkansas Governor.
Bill says: "President Carter appointed Hillary to the Legal Services Board of Directors and she became its chairman."
The facts are: The appointment was in exchange for Bill's support for Carter in his 1980 primary against Ted Kennedy. Hillary then became chairman in a coup in which she won a majority away from Carter's choice to be chairman.
Bill says: "She served on the board of the Arkansas Children's Hospital."
The facts are: Yes, she did. But her main board activity, not mentioned by Bill, was to sit on the Walmart board of directors for a substantial fee. She was silent about their labor and health care practices.
Bill says: "Hillary didn't succeed at getting health care for all Americans in 1994, but she kept working at it and helped to create the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) that provides five million children with health insurance."
The facts are: Hillary had nothing to do with creating CHIP. It was included in the budget deal between Clinton and Republican Majority Leader Senator Trent Lott. I know; I helped negotiate the deal. The money came half from the budget deal and half from the Attorney Generals' tobacco settlement. Hillary had nothing to do with either source of funds.
Bill says: "Hillary was the face of America all over the world."
The facts are: Her visits were part of a program to get her out of town so that Bill would not appear weak by feeding stories that Hillary was running the White House. Her visits abroad were entirely touristic and symbolic and there was no substantive diplomacy on any of them.
Bill says: "Hillary was an excellent Senator who kept fighting for children's and women's issues."
The facts are: Other than totally meaningless legislation like changing the names on courthouses and post offices, she has passed only four substantive pieces of legislation. One set up a national park in Puerto Rico . A second provided respite care for family members helping their relatives through Alzheimer's or other conditions. And two were routine bills to aid 911 victims and responders which were sponsored by the entire NY delegation. Presently she is trying to have the US memorialize the Woodstock fiasco of 40 years ago.
Here is what bothers me more than anything else about Hillary Clinton: She has done everything possible to weaken the President and our country (that's you and me!) when it comes to the war on terror.
1. She wants to close GITMO and move the combatants to the USA where they would have access to our legal system.
2. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of suspected Al Qaeda phone calls to/from the USA .
3. She wants to grant constitutional rights to enemy combatants captured on the battlefield.
4. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of money transfers between suspected Al Qaeda cells and supporters in the USA .
5. She wants to eliminate the type of interrogation tactics used by the military & CIA where coercion might be used when questioning known terrorists even though such tactics might save American lives.
One cannot think of a single bill Hillary has introduced or a single comment she has made that would tend to strengthen our country in the War on Terror. But, one can think of a lot of comments she has made that weaken our country and make it a more dangerous situation for all of us. Bottom line: She goes hand in hand with the ACLU on far too many issues where common sense is abandoned.
Share this with every democrat you know. Ask them to prove Dick Morris wrong. Think about it --- Dick Morris has said all of this openly, thus if he were not truthful he'd be liable for defamation of character! And you better believe Hillary would sue him.
Is America ready for a woman president?
Perhaps we are, but definitely NOT THIS one.
