Bernie Sanders Finger-wag Super Cut

[pnwmom]

And in the second picture at the link below, what is his hand doing over there by her face? Is invading her personal space a debate tactic? Why didn't his advisors tell him this wasn't okay?

And what's his hand doing here?

1. Its the Pinocchio finger@

[JDPriestly]

15. Can't wait to see the video of Hillary's cackle laugh.

Seriously, in each instance, Bernie was raising his hand to get the attention of the questioners to say that he had a point to make. He was being polite.

Did you notice that in most of the instances, Hillary had one or both of her thumbs moving up and sometimes down again and occasionally over and over and the back or in a couple of cases, the palm of her hand pointed to the audience.

I know this video is supposed to make Bernie look bad, but it actually just makes Hillary look angry and bossy.

[zentrum]

20. Actually, to draw

…attention to how she twists his words and/or goes over the allotted time, it was the most polite thing he could do.

Speaking as a woman I loathe it when the faux-feminist victim card is played.

[840high]

25. He was polite - I would

have told her to STFU.

[bkkyosemite]

52. She was way over her time and not relenting. I watched it. She was hogging all the

time and they were not calling her on it.

[SusanCalvin]

54. Yep. nt

[zentrum]

73. ^^This^^

[George II]

2. Did he want to say something or did he have to go to the bathroom?

[SusanCalvin]

55. Sigh.... nt

[Mnpaul]

3. Colbert looked into Bernie's finger pointing prowess last night

?t=2m15s

There is also a game you can play on his CBS site

[progressoid]

23. That was fun!

Will have to check out the website when I'm on a real computer.

[treestar]

77. Bubble Burst Bernie -

[redstateblues]

4. Bernie is tough to watch.

I've really tried. Can't do it

[pnwmom]

5. Imagine trying to have a serious debate and while it's your turn to talk, your opponent,

a few feet away, is waving his arms around and wagging his fingers. I would have needed to wear blinders, but Hillary kept her cool.

[JDPriestly]

17. Bernie was being polite. Did you watch Hillary's hands, her thumbs bouncing up and down

and the back of her hand facing the audience bouncing up and down.

She sounded angry in every clip.

Bernie was being polite in that he was signaling the questioners that he wanted to respond to her statement.

Can't wait for the video clips of Hillary's smirks and cackle laughs.

Bernie is too much of a gentleman to make such a video.

I'm sure Trump will mock her for that. She is very sensitive and easily angered. She pouts, and Trump is going to play that up like everything.

If there is one thing that Hillary is not, it is gracious.

[ciaobaby]

6. I know this is supposed to be funny but ...

if someone posted a video of HRC with emphasis on her most irritating voice, which, Like Bernie'S finger wagging, is an unfortunate part of her "self", all the Hillary team would be screaming "SEXISM".
Now can we get back to what really matters ?

[pnwmom]

7. Her voice isn't an attack on him. Look at the second picture in the second link,

where he's extended his wagging finger to within inches of her face.

His scolding finger wagging isn't a part of his "self." It's a masculine display, aimed at the woman standing next to him.

When he was talking, she usually just stood there and listened. When she was talking, he rolled his eyes, made faces, and practically jumped out of his skin, waving his arms and wagging his fingers. He kept trying to get the attention of the moderator even though there was no other candidate in the debate; he would automatically get the next turn and he didn't need to wave his finger around to claim it.

Imagine you're trying to give a well-considered response and a few feet away from you, within your peripheral vision, your opponent is putting on a distracting show like that. I'd need to wear blinders. I don't know how Hillary did it.

ON EDIT: A fair comparison would be of his voice to her voice. And I don't see him winning that competition. His voice is no more pleasant than hers.

[AlbertCat]

47. You're joking, right?

[SusanCalvin]

56. Really. nt

[Bangbangdem]

71. Could it be.....

Kindve been going round and round with this user. I think more and more that this person is a plant. The million dollar social media disinformation blitz that the clinton campaign had to admit to? Wait, let me get my tin foil hat on.... this is a con.

[Bangbangdem]

50. Pathological

[azurnoir]

9. you mean like this?

the young woman Hillary accosted was a GreenPeace activist not Bernie Sanders -ooops

[ciaobaby]

10. Thank you ! Enough said.

[pnwmom]

12. Thanks for reminding me.

[SusanCalvin]

58. Ummmmm.. That's Sarandon, not Hillary. nt

[appalachiablue]

14. The high mark of public finger rage. Couldn't find Bill with Jerry Brown Debate, so this,

[JDPriestly]

18. Thanks. Hillary is the fingerprinting angry person.

Bernie was just trying to raise his hand so that he could respond to Hillary.

[redstateblues]

32. Bernie got 3 Pinocchios for that lie

Glad she called out that Bernie plant

[Bangbangdem]

51. Wait

She hasn't taken any cash from the petrol industry?
Bwahahahaha!
I look forward to your spirited response.

[elmac]

11. This topic is soooooo

ho hum.

[vanlassie]

13. I'm finally putting someone on ignore. Never thought I would.

[Ned_Devine]

16. Yeah, some times you just have to

Many of these people just suck. Forget about having an actual conversation or debate...unless all you want are rolling smiley faces, gifs of people rolling their eyes or "she's the most qualified." That's all you'll get from them...oh, and fake bullshit outrage.

[Scootaloo]

28. You won't miss much

[Ned_Devine]

19. Really? Can you imagine what Donald Trump would do or say every time she lies?

A finger wag? It's a polite way of telling the moderators "Hey, this person is full of shit. Can I get a chance to rebut, or is she just going to filibuster all night?"

[pnwmom]

21. Every word out of Trump's mouth is a lie. And anything he "does" to Hillary will just

make women loathe him even more.

But what Bernie did wasn't polite. There were no other competitors on the stage. He was going to automatically get his turn. He didn't need to wave his arms around and wag his fingers to get it, like the little boy at the front of the class, waving his arm around for the teacher to call on him.

[Ned_Devine]

22. I love your dream world

Interrupting, the way Hillary did while he was making his case was rude. Putting your finger up to get the moderator's attention is the polite thing...just maybe not in your world where grass is blue and the sky is green.

[pnwmom]

24. He was putting his finger up AND wagging it back and forth. Over and over again.

And he threw his hand out to within inches of Hillary's face. Not okay.

And there was no reason for him to get the moderator's attention. The moderator knew what she was doing, and was going to give Bernie his turn. He didn't have to wave around while Hillary was talking.

[Ned_Devine]

26. I watched the debate and that's not what happened.

I remember thinking, "how long is she going to get to filibuster and lie before he gets a word in edgewise?" That, to me, was not okay.

You're obviously a HRC supporter and I'm obviously not. I see what you're doing as totally manufactured outrage and you see it as legit. I'll come right out and admit that I will never vote for Hillary in a million years. She ran a racist campaign against Obama in '08 and to me is just the most inauthentic flawed and conservative candidate the democrats could have pushed on us. I live in MA, so I can vote for Jill Stein and not feel like I have to hold my nose to vote for her. You see her differently and that's your thing.

Normally I'll let a post like yours just slide, but the montage of finger wags as some sort of earth shattering affront to all women was just a bridge too far. If I had been in that debate, I would have lost my cool and told the moderators "She's lying!! Can I finally say something?!"

Just wait until she has to debate Trump. You'll miss those polite finger wags while he eviscerates her.

[pnwmom]

35. There were eight debates and hundreds of wags and waves.

If you wonder why there is such a large gender gap, this is part of the reason. He and his supporters have a huge blind spot with regard to women. It goes along with him having no women among his top ten advisors. Not one.

Trump won't be a problem in a debate with Hillary. He'll make a complete fool of himself. Blustering and sputtering insults won't scare her, as it did his Rethug opponents.

[Ned_Devine]

37. Just so you know, lots of women HATE Hillary

In fact, I talk to more women than men that absolutely can't stand her and wouldn't vote for her in a million years. So you can enjoy that gender gap meme and hang on to it when she loses in the GE if she makes it that far.

[pnwmom]

43. And yet the large gender gap is in Hillary's favor, so obviously most women don't feel

like your friends. They aren't representative of the voters.

[Ned_Devine]

48. I'll finish this like I started it; I love your dream world

But it ain't mine

[SusanCalvin]

60. Old white female against Hillary here! nt

[chwaliszewski]

42. +1

Spot on.

[840high]

27. Stop it. You're

embarrassing yourself.

[FailureToCommunicate]

34. Un rec. Yes, just stop. You really are embarrassing yourself.

[billhicks76]

45. Trump Will Bring Up Hillary Things No One Dared

It's all going to be about Bill and his womanizing and partying. Watch.

[pnwmom]

46. Good luck on that. He has QUITE a history himself, including his own

1997 rape lawsuit.

http://lawnewz.com/high-profile/exclusive-inside-the-donald-trump-sexual-assault-lawsuit/

There has been much talk of late about Donald Trump and the law. In addition to his regular threats to sue Ted Cruz, LawNewz.com discovered Trump has been named as a plaintiff and defendant in at least 169 different federal lawsuits. Some of the cases have been resolved, a few dismissed as frivolous, others privately settled. In the context of that research, we found one that was particularly interesting, even scandalous. So we did some further digging and obtained an exclusive copy of the $125 million lawsuit filed in 1997, which had been buried deep in a federal archive warehouse in Kansas City, Missouri. The case has almost never been reported on, and the shocking allegations just seemed to suddenly vanish in an era before the widespread availability of the internet.

The lawsuit was filed by Jill Harth who then went by Jill Harth Houraney on April 25, 1997. Harth, who was in her early 30’s at the time, alleged that Trump engaged in hostile and offensive sexual behavior towards her from 1992 to 1997 including “groping” her under her dress on several occasions, “forcibly” moving her to his daughter’s bedroom in an attempt to have sex with her, and repeatedly, aggressively and inappropriately propositioning her for sex. She called it “sexually abusive” and LawNewz.com spoke to her in an exclusive interview.

And his ex-wife's claim that he physically assaulted her and raped her.

And his lawyer's excuse that marital rape wasn't a crime.

How many people has Hillary been accused of raping?

[SusanCalvin]

61. Kidding, right?

You seriously think that will stop him from going after Hill on the Bill front?

[pnwmom]

64. I didn't say it will stop him. But it will put any attacks on Hillary into proper context.

His history is just as eventful as Bill's.

And Bill isn't the one running for President.

[SusanCalvin]

65. His history is just as eventful as Bill's. -oops,sorry

Conflated with Bernie.

Trump, I'd guess you're right.

[pnwmom]

67. Correct. I'm talking about Trump. n/t

[billhicks76]

69. Just Hope It Doesn't Bring Up How Hillary Treated Bill's Accusers

Most of that wasn't pertinent to the public when Bill ran for office. Now we have social media and the 24/7 news cycle...AND it's Trump setting the agenda this time not the networks.

[pnwmom]

72. Which one are you talking about? The one who still says their relations were entirely consensual,

or the one who swore in a deposition that nothing happened?

And what was this terrible thing that Hillary did, other than not divorcing Bill?

[billhicks76]

74. Ones From Early 80s

[pnwmom]

75. That doesn't answer the question. n/t

[billhicks76]

66. Agreed...Two Pees In A Pod

[Old Crow]

29. Spot on.

It wasn't so much a finger-wag as a cry for help: "Holy moley, she's just letting loose a torrent of half-truths and distortions and there's no end to her yakking in sight. Moderators? Hello?!"

Oh, that and he also wanted the waiter to know he was ready for his check.

[SusanCalvin]

62. .

[SoapBox]

30. Anything is better than Hill's "Scold-Mode".

THAT really ticks me off.

[dchill]

31. Wow! Another entire thread based on projection!

Congrats! The only ones buying this are already inmates at the echo chamber.

[redstateblues]

33. Nailed it!

[pnwmom]

36. And the twelve million people who voted for Hillary. nt

[dchill]

49. Wow! I stand castigated!

By the 12 million people who approve of your silly thread about finger wagging! I'm sure you have your finger on the motivation of all those millions.

If only he hadn't wagged his finger, we wouldn't be headed to a short, bleak future of perpetual war, fossil fuel and even filthier filthy rich. And all without universal health care.

[SusanCalvin]

63. Oh good grief.

As if you think stating that over and will change future events.

But seeing as you are a Hillary supporter, yes do please go on wasting your time!

[Geronimoe]

38. Finger wagging, really?

This I find irradiating about the Clintons:

[frylock]

39. Fresh take.

It's like February all up in here.

[FuzzyRabbit]

40. Finger wagging is far worse

than selling yourself to Goldman Sachs and the other big banks for $250,000 for a 20 minute speech, right?

Assuming Clinton is elected President, you will quickly learn that her loyalties lie with the wealthiest of the 1%, not with you or me.

[mac56]

41. Welcome to my ignore list.

Getting mighty crowded in there, but they're all your buddies.

[pnwmom]

44. Thank you.

[SusanCalvin]

53. If this is all you got.... nt

[pnwmom]

57. This, plus 12 million votes and 1700 pledged delegates.

[SusanCalvin]

59. And you think this tone is going to attract Bernie supporters how..?

Oh right - y'all don't need 'em. Oooookaaaaay.

[pnwmom]

68. At this point, after all the trashing I've seen of Hillary here, I don't much care.

This is NOTHING compared to the lies I see here about Hillary every day.

[SusanCalvin]

70. Back atcha and your ilk. nt

[Beethoven1111]

76. YEAH!

This is the best thing I've seen all day

[BlueMTexpat]

78. You know what the beautiful thing about this

thread is for me?

It says that there are 77 replies and I can only see 16. Ignore List works.

They can say what they want and they will. I just don't have to put up with it any more and am MUCH happier for that.
