Jill Stein Accused of Investing in Dirty Coal, Big Pharma

[DINGO Joe]

I just hope her investment means that Jill can take a chill pill.

Chill Pill=Big Pharma

[DINGO Joe]

Atlas picking on someone at 1-2% in the polls instead of the people in power? SAD!

Now we know who's been propping up all these conglomerates with their investment dollars.

[Oakvale]

Telesur is an awful source for anything

Surprised they're not shilling for Jill honestly.

Fear does strange things to people. That's part of what makes a bully.

[SWE]

Clearly baseless slander. Why would she even have money that she could invest?

Jill Stein has an incredible amount of power in this election.

I guess it's because she's too anti-oil for their taste

More seriously, at this point, many Democrats, myself included feel harassed to an extent by Stein and her core supporters. We're working to stop what we feel is one of the greatest threats to democracy in the US, and all we get from that camp is Trump's talking points hidden in leftist language. We feel like the guy pushing the piano up the stairs while some random bystander comments about how we're not pushing hard enough without lifting a finger to help.

If your candidates super pac didn't pay trolls to troll anyone who opposes her from the left, maybe I'd feel more sorry for ya.

So basically her response is: "But Hillary!"

Did she hire jfern as her campaign spokesman? I guess the Green donations must be really drying up.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Has Stein attacked Trump at all during this campaign?
I mean even during the pussy tape imbroglio she was furiously tweeting about how Hillary is a corrupt warmonger.

Why would Putin direct her to attack Trump?

[Shadows]

She invested in a Mutual Fund which invested in Pharma or Coal.

I mean I am not happy with this. But she has to live on some pension or returns, she is 60+. She has invested in a Mutual Fund with good returns which invested in pharma & coal. This is in no way a support of Big Fossil Fuels.

Hillary sold Fracking to the world, opposes a Carbon Tax which will pass on the negative economic externalities creating a level playing field for all parties. Hillary has taken money from lobbyists & Super pac.

You have some incredibly hypocrites & flat out horrible people who support the most corrupt, dishonest & fraudulent candidate in modern history in Clinton but blame Stein for a mutual fund investment. They have no issues with a Super Pac raising money from Wall Street n Pharma n Fossil Fuel but attack Stein for this. You can't have it both ways.

I don't think Stein is a viable candidate for Presidency but anyone who looks at the attack ad & supports it is crazy. The piece is a hit piece  trash tabloid starting with The Holier than thou Jill Stein..If we had moral standards, then Hillary shouldn't even be running!

[Trapsy]

Crooked Jill!

Considering that the sole purpose of Jill Stein's presidential campaign is to get Donald Trump elected president so he can do the bidding of Russia, the Coal Industry, and Big Oil, I have no problems with this.

How is this a "wacky conspiracy theory"?

Jill Stein a). has been photographed dining and meeting with high ranking members of the Russian government and security apparatus b) has been photographed wearing a fur coat c). has investments in big oil d). has a running mate who is a literal Russian shill who writes propaganda defending Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Russia's involvement in Syria. He even said the 2014 presidential election where Assad got 89% of the vote was a real election and suggesting otherwise was "western propaganda". e). spends all of her time attacking Clinton.

If you haven't realized Stein is an agent of the Russian government at this point you're either willfully ignorant or dumb as a bag of rocks (coincidentally, this is also what you have to be to have supported the green party in the first place!)

[KingSweden]

I mean, to be fair to Stein, eh bought a bunch of index funds. It's not like she owns outright Exxon or Peabody stock. Still, there ARE a whole family of socially responsible investments that specifically don't invest in fossil fuel companies or arms manufacturers and her explanation basically was "well they aren't socially responsible enough so I'm just going with the bad rather than the good since it's not perfect anyway" which is a fascinating stance for somebody whose entire campaign is based on how much pure and progressive she is

I don't think the issue is so much that Stein invested in these mutual funds as the fact that if anybody else had done it, Stein would say it disqualifies them from the presidency.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Wow! Great to see the Stein goons in full meltdown!

It's $tein now.

The best part about them being as dumb as a box of rocks is that Stein is German for...wait for it..a rock!

Hm.. the idea that a political force is a secret plot orchestrated by a shadowy power with sparse or incongruous evidence to back up your claim. Literally the definition of a conspiracy theory.
Insulting political opponents as a "bag of rocks" is a nice touch, how very Alex Jones of you.

This is true, though you're overly smug about it. Stein isn't even smart enough to be a part of a conspiracy theory.
