Clinton’s campaign arranges ‘Veterans Against Trump’
According to the Daily Beast there was a protest outside Trump Tower yesterday. I watched some of it on a live feed, but it triggered my bad memories of the old IVAW days so I had to turn it off. Anyway, the protesters were angry because Trump hadn’t really raised $6 million for veterans, according to a Washington Post article. See, I thought veterans didn’t want Trump’s money. This campaign is confusing. Anyway from the Daily Beast link;
The protest was actually a coordinated effort, led in part by the Hillary Clinton campaign, to embarrass her Republican rival for his failed efforts to raise money for veterans. It only looked like a grassroots demonstration.
A spokesman for the demonstrators insisted they had no affiliation with any campaign. Later he said the protesters had reached out to the Clinton campaign for press contacts, but that’s all. Then the activist finally admitted that, yes, the Clinton campaign had helped organize the protest.
[…]
At Monday’s protest, Marine veteran and Clinton supporter Alexander McCoy served as a spokesman for the demonstrators—and went to great lengths to hide the Clinton campaign’s involvement with organizing the demonstration.
“We’re not affiliated with any campaign, we’re not affiliated with any organization,” McCoy told reporters, saying the protesters used “grassroots organizing techniques, we came together over social media.”
McCoy later told The Daily Beast he reached out to the Clinton campaign to obtain press contacts but denied that Clinton staffers had been involved in organizing the event.
Then, reached by phone after the event, McCoy acknowledged that the Clinton campaign organized the conference call bringing together possible attendees to the protest.
Feel like a cheap whore, do you? Like I’ve said, I’m no Trump fan, but I don’t like having my name used by any of the campaigns. Least of all, the Clinton campaign. We already knows what she thinks about us. This Alexander McCoy fellow should feel ashamed that he’s being manipulated by the Benghazi Queen. Of course, he’s probably just feathering his own nest, anyway.

If someone organizes “Veterans Against Trump and Clinton” they can sign me up.

This….
Amen. These two are really the best America can do? These two!? Vermin Supreme is looking better every day.
That’s the truly sad part. Both of them are like 2 turds that no matter how many times you flush bob back to the surface.
The best America can do? I think the GOP is partly responsible for this too. McCain in 2008 and Romney in 2012, then they flushed whatever trust in the last mid-year elections and allowed Boehmer to leave the WH unchecked. JMHO.

For Sanders? Uh…..no. I’ll give Sanders credit in that he appears to be a more honest and ethical individual than those other two, but…I just can’t go there. I may go Libertarian this time.
Honest? the azzhole doesn’t even know a socialist is a communist!
Shillary is a combat vet. Dodged sniper rounds in Bosnia and everything.
And here is the video proving it.
LMFAO !!!!!!!
?????
That was awesome
Another attention whore looking for his 15 minutes…
Judging from his Twitter account, he looks to be taking the John Kerry approach for long term political gain.
Can’t wait to see the FOIA on this guy.
Anyone has or can get the requisite info, I’ll be happy to file a FOIA request on the tool.
Time’s up, Alex. Just take the money off the nightstand and go.
Kokesh’s long lost brother.
Looked at his Twitter feed…looks like less than ten were at his ‘protest’.
I am not a big fan of Trump either…that whole wedding photo of the Clintons and the Trumps really nags at me.
But, I wouldn’t vote that Carpet Bagging POS Clinton in as local dogcatcher, let alone POTUS.
Benghazi Queen? More like Benghazi Bitch…
Oh look, the next media whore!
Maybe he can be like whatshisface who got on CNN telling everyone what it was like in Afghanistan but who in fact never went there.
Not a fan of Hillary or Trump, but I’ll be damned if I support someone whose husband put Les Aspin in charge of DoD.
I remember hearing him speak once in DC, Les fat-Aspin could tranquilize anyone in seconds!
^^ This ^^
He co-ops with Hitlery Cankles for his fifteen minutes of fame, what a mega-attention whore! I wonder how much money Soros will pour into this crap and how many “rent-a-mobs” will be pay for? I think Trump’s shit stinks too, albeit a lot less than Hitlery’s. That creature is pure venomous power-craving EVIL.
“This Alexander McCoy fellow should feel ashamed that he’s being manipulated by the Benghazi Queen.” You are too kind, Jonn, on two accounts. First, like HMCS, I call Wide Load the Bitch of Benghazi. Second, McCoy has shown himself to be a liar who fessed up only after someone else let the cat out of the bag. Besides that, a Marine that supports Wide Load? Um, ah…just doesn’t fit to my perspective. Gotta be something else wrong with McCoy.
Agree. This guy has zero (0) credibility right out of the box, as the first words on record are nothing but lies.
Should be a good fit with the democrat party and make an excellent Clintonista.
I’m thinking a FOIA is in order.
The two-party system is utterly broken if all it can produce for Presidential candidates is Shillary and Chump.
We need a statesman (male or female), not one of those clowns.
A saw a poll last night that said 57% of Americans disliked both Trump and Hillary. Glad to see I’m not alone.
I’ve got a screen shot of wee Alex’s twitterpating, if anyone wants it.
Media attention hound, humping whatever leg is offered, and happy to do it if he gets some spotlight time. Oh! And then he admits he lied?? Well, my, my. What IS the world coming to? Are you sure he’s a real Marine?
He like to post stuff from #VetsVsHate and #VoteVets… and they support Donkeycrats!
“Alexander McCoy served in the United States Marine Corps for six years, and deployed as an embassy guard to Saudi Arabia, Honduras, and Germany. He left the Marines as a sergeant. He currently is studying political science at Columbia University in New York City.” So, he provided embassy protection and still supports Wide Load? He also wrote a guest piece for Foreign Policy that argues for “ a new branch of military service. We need a U.S. Cyber Corps.” The title of the piece—get ready for this—is “We need a cyber corps as a 5th service.” I guess that means one of the others has to go.
Last point. His candidate could probably use some cyber security advice from him, such as don’t send DOD communications over a private account or through a private server.
Shit… sounds like another “someone” that we all know and “love” when it comes to posting “political commentary”
You know it’s funny…I was just thinking I bet he was an Embassy Guard. i just about fell out of my chair when i read your comment.
He should consider himself lucky his embassy wasn’t hit during those 9/11 strikes like Benghazi consulate. Clinton and company would have left him hanging.
Luckily a Sergeant in an Embassy has several adults ahead of him in the chain of command.
I used to go to the embassy in Baghdad and saw the Marines on duty there – fresh woodland Marpats with sleeves rolled. Used to look at the marine PSD we worked with in their beat up desert Marpats and think how the guys at the embassy felt when they saw them. Personally, I would not want to be an NCO in a combat zone working at the embassy – and I know everyone has a job they are given to do. Just my 2 cents.
McCoy is a ruthless self promoter and want to be national security expert that was involved in the Columbia Mil Vets fiasco that brought down the board headed by Task and Purpose editor in chief Brian Adam Jones, ironically the week after he won Student Veteran of the Year from SVA. McCoy is buddies with Kristofer Goldsmith, also currently at Columbia and a member of the disgraced board. McCoy, Jones, and Goldsmith all were flown to NH last year aboard a private plane by an unknown benefactor and personally met Clinton, they posted the pics all over Facebook and pissed off a lot of Columbia vets.
Does anybody know how much a Team Hildabeast protester gets paid for this election year?
$15 per hour? 😉
Given the track records of similar organizations like IVAW and VVAW, how many of these tools do you think are actual vets?
Clowns.
This protest was nothing. A mere fart in a whirlwind.
The real fun will start in late summer/early fall when the Democrats reorganize and launch the “Occupy” mobs again just prior to the election in an effort to disrupt the process.
McCoy represents McCoy. The protest should have been called “A Veteran against Trump.” As is often the case, it appears the media members outnumbered the protesters. “Would you please step over to the corner where 70 people are waiting to cross the street? You get in front with your sign and when the WALK sign appears, I’ll get the pic!”
Trump has a much better track record of helping our active duty service members and Veterans than Hillary ever did.
Who sent their own jet to bring Marines home from Desert Storm ? Trump!
Who financially helped Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi while the Obama Administration and Hillary sat on their asses and did nothing…TRUMP.
Those are just two examples of what Trump has done.
Word ^^^^^^
I could name a lot more to…
He is not my first pick but compared to what has ran to last two cycles he is the best of any two
Parties so far Lol….
The DNC has already started their big web biz it started with the help of FB about three weeks ago
It only goes downhill from here for them
And he is involved with IAVA
https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandermccoy
This is my “stunned” look.
No, really. Want to see it again?
*cough*
It would be interesting to get the names of all (ten?) of the “protestors”, and do a FOIA on each one. We can make a “pool” on how many are posers, and which ones.
I’ll take all ten for $100, please
Reminds me of the time back 2008 as I was riding the Metro from the Pentagon. I saw some sad-sack on the train wearing a “Veterans For Hillary” button. My only thought was that I bet it must be easy scoring a parking spot at that rally.
Should have pointed at him and laughed out loud.
I used to post on Terminal Lance forums a few years ago where the vet in question also posted. He was a cook who did 3 years of MSG duty and constantly cites his time on MSG to reference his knowledge of all things military on sites like Task and Purpose and TL. He’s all about women in combat arms but has little to no understanding of life in a combat arms unit or how those units work. He also wrote about Benghazi on Task and Purpose like he was in the area when it happened. Sounds to me like he’s trying to set himself up for a career in bullshit er I mean politics.
I quit going to Terminal Lance when the Terminals out numbered the Lance’s..
MSG, huh? I did not know there was a MonoSodium Glutamate section in the military food service industry. 😉
Interesting related subject. In the two years I was in the army, the only time I got a migraine (visual aura, the whole nine yards) was when I was eating the food served on a USNS ship coming home from my deployment in Japan. MSG wipes me out. Was it almost two years MSG free or something else? Seems the military has some understanding about that stuff.
That’s strange. My mother was allergic to it. It made her nauseous.
I did some research on this guy and he’s the Real McCoy. Really. He has his on toll free line for those interested in his services. You can reach him at:
1-800-RENT-A-WHORE
Could be a John Kerry in the making.
His conquest for recognition will be complete when he throws his medals over the WH fence.
So what exactly is the maximum effective range of a NDSM? Do you he could really get it up and over the fence?
As for McCoy’s supporting Wide Load, I just have to ask, “What difference does it make…?”
Considering that she will stoop to any low possible, and use every trick in the book which includes taking something out of context, associating himself with her is not a good idea.
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-idUSKCN0YF2GQ
She’s really digging deep on this.
…and it could become very dangerous, read: life threatening should he not toe the line.
We should be opposing Trump. He is a fascist.
Also Hillary. She is an oligopolist.
I guess we have no choice but to let Obama stick around, you win.
I would have been nice if Bernie was a nominee.
But we absolutely should not be supporting Trump or Hillary.
Nice in that you yearn for the old Soviet breadlines? Yeah, no thanks.
Maybe he can hook up with his wife and go bankrupt some more colleges. Make the little snowflakes earn a living at Starbucks with that $200k degree.
Fascism smashism. It’s outdated and your fear of it being a threat anywhere in the world and is just an indicator of irrational you are. Nothing to see here,Lars. Move along.
I see what you did there….
You’d think they’d have dictionary’s at Berzerkley. It’s evident Lars doesn’t know what the definition of a fascist is.
Really Lars? He is a fascist?
Please. He is an egotistical pompous ass, but he is no fascist.
And I am not sure that you mean to call Her Cankleness a oligopolist, because that is too nice. I would prefer to call her a shakedown artist, because if you don’t pay, she won’t let you pay.
In the Larsian dialect, the pronoun “we” is often used to include himself and the frog he has in his pocket…
You mean Lars himself and his own hand that won’t give him sex.
‘We’ for the poodle means ‘me and the mouse in my pocket’.
He is literally a fascist. That is not even hyperbole. He has the exact same personality profile as Mussolini. His political themes and campaign strategy is right out of Carl Schmitt.
He is using fascist politics and he has a very strong authoritarian nature.
Blah, blah, blah…
So we aren’t supposed to be worried about Communist’s but we are now supposed to be quaking in our boots over someone YOU labeled a fascist?
I was willing to give you some slack Lars, but now I have to believe everything I was told about you by those NCO’s who served with you.
BTW, the count is up to five who told me some interesting tales about you.
I hope, swormy, that you will enlighten the rest of us some day in the not-too-distant future, at an appropriate time and place over pizza, salad and beer.
I don’t normally like to poo poo on someones service but my patience is wearing down considerably.
The whole “I’m superior to you” act is getting tiresome.
What Lars fails to understand is the CA and MI families are small and he is that weird cousin everyone snickers about.
Commissar, NOBODY has to ask me for proof when I say that you have composted goose shit for brains, YOU PROVE IT with nearly every one of your posts.
The asslicking poodle wouldn’t know real fascism if it locked him in a cattle car, but on the other hand, he doesn’t have a clue AS TO what real fascism is and he’s afraid of not qualifying for it because of his lack of Aryan-Nordic characteristics.
In addition, since shrilllary’s basic operating style, aside from lying her ass off, is mostly feeding her power-tripping ego – in fact, it’s her ONLY real interest – she is actually smart enough to NOT stand in the way of start-up businesses. An example of blocking startups would be blocking Microsoft or Apple from ever going into the business of creating a single industry from written codes (MS-DOS) and/or building PCs by hand in someone’s dad’s garage (Apple).
The poodle’s entire shtick is based on his innate desire to not have to actually have a real job in the real world, but rather, having money handed to him for the rest of his life in exchange for doing absolutely N-O-T-H-I-N-G.
If you all will remember, it was Bill Clinton who started the welfare-to-work program, one of the few good things he did during his reign of financial terror. It was BARACK OBAMA WHO REPEALED THE WELFARE TO WORK PROGRAM, and look what it has cost us over the past 7.5 years.
Fascist, my Fat Aunt Harriet.
Oligopolist (not a real word, he made that up) IS PURE BULLSHIT!
WE should be supporting or opposing any person we damned well choose…..regardless what Comrade Poodle Dik says. Who the hell are you to tell anyone how to vote? Damned Commie lovin’ idiot, YOU are the one who said “People who fear Communism are foolish” You think anyone on this site is going to listen to you tell them how they should vote?
The con on radio who charges suckers to name a star after them made me feel like a sucker. A while back I contacted him to see if I could name a star after you, but he wrote back saying the name Asshole had already been taken.
T O W was absolutely correct yesterday when he said Comrade Poodle Dik would come slithering back in a short time. Never expected it this fast however. How can we ever show you the door??????
Don’t act like you are some bastion of independent thought.
You have still yet to shake the brainwashing of the 1950s.
Says the guy who attend Berkeley. No brainwashing there…nope.
Lars, your time and money wasted at UC Berserkely has given you irreversible brain damage. You might want to consider suing them for wasting your money and your mind.
No, API. His birth parents’ time and money were wasted in breeding him into existence. They should sue HIM to get THEIR money back.
1950s brainwashing?
The Rosenbergs (brother and sister) stole material on US nuclear secrets and sold it to the Soviet Union.
Nothing to fear from Communism, huh?
In 1962, Nikita Krushchev, the Premier of the USSR, shipped long and short-range nuclear missiles to Cuba and started setting up missile bunkers and bases, 90 miles from Florida.
Nothing to fear from Communism, huh?
In 1961, the Soviet Union detonated the Tsar Bomba, a 50 megatonne hydrogen bomb, the largest such detonation ever.
NOTHING TO FEAR FROM FUCKING COMMUNISM, YOU SORRY, USELESS EXCUSE FOR A HOMINID?
I swear to God, if you had dynamite for brains, you wouldn’t have enough to blow your fucking nose.

The line to respond to your jibberish gets longer every time you post, as each time you blather you pick up more adversaries. You refuse to even consider the truth, because YOU KNOW IT ALL. Comrade Poodle Dik, you REALLY need help and therapy You’re worse than an alcoholic in they at least claim,
“I can quit any time I like”. A liberal with no reasoning power or logic such as yourself makes as much sense as a mime with no hands. A good many who disagree with you make it very clear your thoughts are not appreciated on this site. Yet you persist in advising the entire thread how wrong we are and that we need to listen to you. FYI, you are NOT another Timothy Leary preaching to the unwashed young choir to take a “Trip” through YOUR mind. Dead end street! In your mind, EVERYONE is entitled to your opinion. Really Comrade Poodle Dik, I’d like to help you out. Now which way did you come in?
Some times I wonder if things would be different if I tried seeing things from your point of view. Trouble is, I can’t get my head that far up my ass!
All kidding aside Comrade Poodle Dik, you ought to share many of the comments you receive with other folks on your level of teaching or whatever. Hopefully they wold see it for what it is and tell you, “Poodle Dik, why do you do it, other than for the abuse?”
Down with antidisestablishmentarianism!
Yeah, screw both of them.
Don’t know who I’m going to vote for at this point, but I will give Gary Johnson a fair look. He may be the only decent alternative.
Trump seems to have more in common with Kaiser Wilhelm II than Hitler, or Mussolini.
Agreed. And each of those two (Hitler, Mussolini) had as much in common with Stalin as they did with each other.
So,,, what has that POS Clinton given to vets?
Maybe he didn’t or hasn’t reached six million, but if he gave fifty cents, it’s more than the Clintons.
I misspelled my own damn name!
Here’s the article I was talking about earlier written by the Real McCoy:
http://taskandpurpose.com/as-a-former-embassy-guard-heres-what-i-know-13-hours-got-wrong/
Here’s this gem about Benghazi during his embassy guard stint: “I remember wishing I was there, that there was something I could do to help. I remember cursing out the window of my embassy’s command center, daring the perpetrators to attack me instead. I felt helpless.” lolwut??
Guy is a class A clown with a completely inflated sense of self importance and knowledge. Dude, you were an E-5 at an embassy, now you’re trying to parlay your service into some sort of “I’m a strategic thinker and security expert” Give me a fuckin’ break. It’s pitiful how these web sites give guys like this a voice to spew their nonsense. Basically he’s calling the guys on the ground liars which is particularly despicable given that it appears he himself never served in combat.
Was not able to get past paragraph 3 before I had the strong urge to either 1) puke my guts out, or 2) beat this asshole to the edge of his sorry-assed life.
Fuck this McCoy guy.
I read that political commentary posing as a review. It’s a pathetic piece of pap. Somehow, McCoy injected himself into the review and the Benghazi attack itself, as quoted by Trax above, an absolutely ridiculous exercise w/o any apparent purpose other than McCoy’s mental masturbation. Somehow, as a former embassy guard, McCoy became an expert in evaluating matters he was in no way qualified to evaluate and opining on matters he was not privy to. Somehow, McCoy wrote about the attack w/o once referring to Wide Load, oBaMa, or the silly video and phantom protest against it that she, he, and others knew damn well had nothing whatsoever to do with the attack. Somehow, McCoy ignores the actual lies told and the deceit perpetrated by the oBaMa administration but takes exception to Hollywood’s (!) Benghazi portrayal. So why didn’t the US respond more quickly and purposefully to the attack? McCoy, the expert in all things military and political gives us an answer, enlightening us with his keen and profound insight: “The reality,” he writes, “Is that the world is a big place, and American military strength has never been infinite or particularly nimble.” Oh.
Not for nothing, but the single dumbest motherfucker in our detachment in Oki went off to MSG. It was just as well since our gunny had forbidden him from actually working on our gear. All he was allowed to do was police call the site, vacuum, and take out the garbage.
IVAW = Losers
These clowns should learn….
With Clinton:
PLEASE, for pity’s sake, post a spew warning with stuff like that!!!!
He dosent have a CAR it appears, or I’m sure he would’ve added it in his Linkden profile. Maybe Hillary will give him one and herself one at the same time for some sniper fire?
Looking at the pic of McCoy makes me think that if a vertical line was drawn down the middle of his forehead, it could double as Clinton’s over-sized ass.
Interesting. The Washington Post is ratting out the Hillary campaign’s dirty tricks, which was not true of the Obama campaign against her.
Meanwhile, they report violence against Trump supporters as if the Trump supporters were the source. They also lie outright about what Trump said.
I believe the Washington Post is actively supporting Bernie.
There are several sources with reports about protests in New Mexico yesterday, which turned violent outside the convention center. Apparently, the shrillary camp thinks that no one but them has the right to have an opinion.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/05/25/protests-turn-violent-outside-trump-new-mexico-event.html
This was done for no other reason than to get attention and cause damage. How much were these clowns getting paid to do this?
Well, if the speculation that things may turn violent at the conventions holds up, stock some popcorn.
Shades of Chicago 1968! This ought to be good.
Yep. Score another win for Trump, this time in New Mexico where a mob pelted police with rocks, bottles, threw metal sidewalk barriers, stomped on a police car, waved Mexican flags, and chanted “Fuck Trump.” Yeah, they were there to protest hate. At least their chant was in English. If this keeps up, I won’t be holding my nose to vote for Trump.
“Probably just feathering his own nest.”? Ok John, glad I hadn’t gone for my second cup of coffee yet, cause that sure got a laugh out of me. I consider it about as likely as “the Sun is hot,” or “politicians lie,” or “sex sells.” My friggin Obvious Department looks like the Pentagon FFS.
OH, here we go! I got a non-postmarked letter from something called turnoutpac.org in the mail.
They have a website, and yes, they are linked to the demcraps. http://www.turnoutpac.org/who-we-are/
I looked them up, and oddly enough, the DUers discussed this group back in January this year.
Apparently, they run a ‘survey’ to try to find out how to get more people out to vote, but they’re also aiming at soliciting funds from you.
BE WARNED!!! There is NO such thing as a subtle approach in this election. If the person who signed this form letter shows up on my doorstep, I’ll tell her to leave before I call the pohlease. Fortunately, I always have my door locked.
If you get unsolicited mail like this during voting/campaign season, don’t pitch it. Keep it and wait until they show up and then, give ’em hell, Harry!
I realize I am referring to a fictional character from “The Corps” series…but this guy is definitely no Kenneth J “Killer” McCoy.
If you look at this shitbag’s twitter feed (https://twitter.com/alexandermccoy4) and look at his photos you’ll find Hillary’s “women’s card” prominently displayed. Look at it. Use the arrow key to keep looking…and you’ll see his response to her when she sent him a solicitation to get his own “women’s card”.
He calls her “Hilldawg”. It’s obvious he’s a supporter.
