1. It'll be a cold day in hell if David Brock will retract the story too

[roguevalley]

25. HRC group will cling to it like a life raft. Sad sad day.

[Jitter65]

51. Oh, so it wasn't the Hillary camp that originated this story? Hmmmm...David Badash

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

58. Wrong. Blue Nation Review i.e. David Brock filth rag created the nonstory

[rhett o rick]

120. Nice try, but it's Clinton that believes that The Ends Justify The Means. She want's the presidency

and her backers will stop at nothing to get her in. Some people think they are safer hiding behind the biggest bully, but the people are going to throw out the Big Money Big Bully that some bow down to. You can only push us so far.

[dchill]

55. Exactly.

Now he'll bill it as an "EXCLUSIVE!!!"

[renate]

97. as of 9:56 PM, he still hadn't

I'm so surprised. He seems like such a decent guy.

[Cheese Sandwich]

2. Publicity stunt for a tiny blog just begging for any attention.

[Bohunk68]

103. Tiny? With 2,000,000? Yeah, right.

[grasswire]

3. !!!!

Guess I will visit their web site and look around.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

4. i love the internet and them genius kids who know how to wield it!

They are smacking these smears as soon as they pop up

[BillZBubb]

5. Of course once the Hillary fanatics got hold of the story it was ramped up to Benghazi levels.

And like Benghazi it was bullshit, but that crowd is no better than the right wing republican fanatics.

[NWCorona]

10. Like when they jumped on Jane and sided with Joe Arpaio

Before the facts came out.

[4nic8em]

36. It has become

very obvious that the hillarians need to adjust their "tone"...

[NWCorona]

39. Agreed!

[dchill]

56. You must mean their !!!TONE!!!

[polly7]

101. I almost couldn't believe what I was reading with that. How sad for Jane and what she

was trying to do, to have it twisted into something so ugly with such a horrible man.

[NWCorona]

112. Yes it was.

That really made me mad

[rhett o rick]

11. We knew that if it got close they would get down in the mud. And they didn't let us down. nm

[peacebird]

6. Good! Now if all media who ran this story also recant, as do all posters who promoted it....

Not holding my breath that Hills supporters here will admit it was all a sham and a lie though.

[MisterP]

14. they'll scream they're being alert-stalked and get a full amnesty

evidently they need it already after, what 2 weeks? they're like Kim Davis, floundering from one ass-backward mess to the next but always able to run to daddy to make everything go away

[Jitter65]

57. I never even heard of the story until the Sanders supporters here posted so much about it in an

effort to attack and falsely accuse the Hillary campaign of smearing Bernie's marriage. Most the posts on this were from BS supporters.

[TeeYiYi]

95. Surely you jest...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511594554

TYY

[EndElectoral]

7. This is what they do. Sensationalize, create controversy, and then say we're sorry.

Problem is the story gets out there. Much like the Capehart travesty, except he didn't even apologize.

[Gwhittey]

15. Yea I live in SC

And I know a few people who where all "Sanders is a liar" claiming he lied about being a Civil Rights Activist. And it is funny even now many low information HRC people all over say He does not resonate with blacks. Well no shit when media tells lies.

[beam me up scottie]

8. Journalistic integrity isn't dead!

Now if only Brock and his minions would do the same...

[arcane1]

61. But they're not journalists, and they have no integrity.

But at least some other outlets out there are seeing through them! Their next smear attempt might gain less traction

[beam me up scottie]

82. Smearing Bernie always backfires, just ask Richard Tarrant.

The people who posted that shit here are no better than that scumbag imo.

[Gwhittey]

92. You are wrong it works

Just look at the black vote in the south. Media and Hillary camp lied about Sanders Civil Rights actions, the BLM in Seattle and how he was supposedly rude to them, which turns out it was Hillary not Sanders who BLM got rude treatment from. It all worked in SC to give her so many votes. And it even continues today how people say he just does not care about blacks.

[nichomachus]

9. But they got the propaganda out and that's all that matters

Typical Fox News trick.

[NWCorona]

12. Actually it's worse than fox

Because it's friendly fire.

[dragonfly301]

22. Yep we've been treated to multiple OP's last night and today

about the subject - one member felt so strongly about it that she wrote 2 OP's about it - almost felt like a coordinated attack. And all over something very trivial and all with the other candidate having a well known shit for a husband. It's a head scratcher

[Hydra]

28. They all get their talking points at the same time

You can see them all post after post about it in perfect harmony. It's been going on since the beginning.

[cui bono]

32. Yes, it certainly has. It's ver noticeable.

[kgnu_fan]

13. Just wonder what got into their heads?

[SMC22307]

93. Hillary crushed by Bernie voters in WA, AK, and HI.

Can't wait to see what they pull out of their collective asses tomorrow after she loses Wisconsin. I'll say it in advance... thank you Cheeseheads!

[Eric J in MN]

99. The Wisconsin primary is April 5, 2016.

We can spread this link about Wisconsin Voter ID so people don't get disenfranchised:

http://bringit.wisconsin.gov/do-i-have-right-photo-id

[SMC22307]

121. I realized that after the fact...

guess I got caught up in the Weekend at Bernie's excitement of last Saturday. Thanks!

[pacalo]

16. Very nice & very appreciated.

[Chasstev365]

17. Closing the barn door after the horses already got out.

Oops: Our Bad! I CALL BULL SHIT!

[glinda]

21. Typical right? Spread a lie like fire and then "oopsie sorry". So Republican.

[MisterP]

18. and here's Bing's cached result

Video: Bernie Sanders Snubs His Wife - 'Don't Stand Next To Me'

Senator Sanders gave a warmer welcoming to the bird who flew onto his podium.

Bernie Sanders distinguished himself as quite the cad Saturday night, during a victory celebration in Madison, Wisconsin.

Senator Sanders was taking a well deserved bow in front of an overflow crowd which was cheering his victories in Alaska and Washington State, during which he acknowledged his wife Jane. Jane stepped forward, basking for a moment in her husband's and the crowd's appreciation, only to have him shoo her away.

The Senator can be heard telling poor Jane "don't stand next to me," accompanied by a gentle swing of his arm to keep her behind him. And to think she flew all the way to Alaska to campaign for him.

Have a look, and as you do, try imagining Hillary Clinton rebuffing Bill, or President Obama directing Michelle, "don't stand next to me."

http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/uncucumbered/video_bernie_sanders_snubs_his_wife_don_t_stand_next_to_me

[LiberalArkie]

41. The way Bernie waves his arms around, it was obvious to me he was afraid he would

hit his wife.

[Bluenorthwest]

19. Will the DUers (of admited bias) have the common decency to apologize for their own actions?

Of course not because they are without ethics. Most dishonest and vile campaign I have ever seen in my life. It's been one long and relentless smearing of Bernie and of Jane, the kitchen sink, the bidet, the tub, they are throwing it all because they are driven by ideology and bigotry.

[Dem2]

20. Whew

That was a really stupid story, glad they pulled it.

[riderinthestorm]

23. Too little too late. The meme's been spread. Mission accomplished

Hope they disappear into the Internet ether.

[FlatBaroque]

26. It's gonna take a lot of soap and scrubbing

to rub the Clinton off of you.

[restorefreedom]

53. even a silkwood shower doesn't seem to get the stink off.

this is gutter politics at its worst. i really had hoped her team would not stoop this low, but I forgot the basic rule..

by any means necessary

[FlatBaroque]

63. Just think of how many gravy trains are going to be derailed because of the

actions of President Sanders, Vice President Gabbard, and Treasury Secretary Warren.

[restorefreedom]

66. on hell yeah. i do hope it resembles this

http://m.imgur.com/ZBJT1Qd?r

[FlatBaroque]

70. LOL

[restorefreedom]

71. we can hope it looks like that :) nt

[dr60omg]

27. If it is the Clintons they won't

They won't because they are triangulating fibbers .... it is more surprising when a Clinton tells the truth or does not parse language

[cui bono]

29. Now will DUers who posted that as a hit piece do the same?

Time will tell...

.

[SheenaR]

31. You know the answer to this

They are sitting around laughing. They do not care nor do they have a conscience about stuff like this

[cui bono]

34. Nope. They did their job. Catapult the propaganda.

And those are the ones Skinner gives special treatment to.

.

[MisterP]

40. they're gonna need another round of it pretty soon enough

transparency for the charming phrase

I can apologize to the Jews if I damn well please. I love them. Fuck off you piece of shit.

[cui bono]

42. That sounds like it could be from the poster sporting an anti-semitic avatar. n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

35. Nope, they are insisting they saw and heard Sanders being rude.

People often see and hear what they want to see and hear.

[cui bono]

38. People also often say they saw and heard things they never did.

.

[beam me up scottie]

78. No one of them is still kicking theirs.

Who cares about the truth when you can shit stir?

[cui bono]

81. Yeah, he told me after some conseration he decided to leave it up, after I gave the link

to this OP.



.

[beam me up scottie]

85. I was thinking of the other one who posted it first.

But we all know what that's about.

[cui bono]

86. Hm... need I guess who that was???

[beam me up scottie]

87. Someone who wants to deflect from their own behaviour.

[bullwinkle428]

115. Classic case of "a lie runs halfway around the world before the truth even

has the chance to put its pants on".

[SheenaR]

30. David Brock is Lee Atwater's long lost brother

This was bullshit from the jump...

Especially when it said

"As reported by Blue Nation Review..."

[DanTex]

33. Never saw this story, but the video speaks for itself.

[DanTex]

45. Doesn't seem to be the same article as the retracted one.

And, yeah, it sure was amusing how much the Bernie fans flipped out about that article.

[DanTex]

48. Are you saying it's the same article? I guess maybe, but it's a different website.

[Scuba]

104. Dan, your underwear is showing. You may want to self-delete to avoid further embarrassment.

[DanTex]

105. Personal attack. Meh. That's what people do when they don't want to answer questions.

[hellofromreddit]

67. What do you stand to gain through brazen lying?

[DanTex]

69. Not sure why you're accusing me of lying.

This retraction links to a different website than the article from the other OP. Are they actually the same place?

[riderinthestorm]

44. Its been on GDPs front page for 8 hours and has 250+ comments and you haven't seen it?

Come on...that's a lie. You even posted on the thread.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1593090

[DanTex]

47. That article is from a different source.

[Scuba]

106. It's the same story Dan, but then you already knew that.

Doesn't matter that the source is different. Shame on you.

[DanTex]

107. Aha. So one of the two websites republished it. I wasn't aware.

Looks like the article isn't retracted at the other source. Who published it originally?

[Scuba]

108. Who published it originally? David Brock, Hillary's shit-slinger. But you knew that too.

If you think Blue Nation Review is journalism then you might also think that Hillary is a progressive.

[DanTex]

109. Looks like it was originally published here, not on BNR:

http://www.inquisitr.com/2932016/bernie-sanders-tells-wife-jane-not-to-stand-next-to-him-could-it-cost-bernie-the-presidency-video/

Then the website from this OP republished it, and then retracted it.

[KingFlorez]

49. Video does not lie

Someone with a heavy emotional devotion to Sanders might not see it as rude, but others have a different perception.

[riderinthestorm]

59. I'm guessing you're not married then

My husband is abrupt too when he thinks I'm in trouble, when he gets emotional, when he's got a lot on his mind etc.

As someone pointed out whose worked in event planning, Jane was close to the big bundle of taped down mic and sound equipment cords. She even does look down in the video.

I see mild alarm/concern for her.

Obviously you dislike him so you're going to frame it in the worst way. We get it.

[riderinthestorm]

80. I was responding to KingFlorenz.

I'm on my cell phone. Did I reply to you? Thread's load weird on my cell.

[R B Garr]

72. Yes it does, exactly. And this is not the first glimpse

into this hostile streak. My husband had a physical reaction when Bernie keep pointing angrily at Hillary during one debate in particular. He was pissed at the physical intimidation with his arms and interrupting her. I'm sure the mocking will start as usual, but people noticed this in the debates as well. This video speaks for itself. This is fair game to report.

[cui bono]

84. Haha!!!

The manufactured outrage on here is hilarious.

.

[R B Garr]

88. Yeah, I'm enjoying the meltdowns over

a video that shows exactly what happened. So much outrage if you dare to report on Bernie!!

Haha!

[hootinholler]

37. They didn't originate the story

But I am happy they admitted their failure.

It was started by David Brock's Blue Nation Review. That once was a decent progressive site. THe Hillary campaign bought it out. I assume to buy some credibility.

[RufusTFirefly]

52. Par for the course for someone who spends tax money to buy "likes" on Facebook

the State Department spent $630,000 on them between 2011 and 2013, when she was secretary of state, according to an inspector general’s report.

Sanders Has an Army of Die-Hard Facebook Fans, While Clinton's Campaign Is Trying to Buy Popularity

[arcane1]

73. And I have NEVER seen even the feelbest attempt at justifying or excusing that. It's simply ignored.

And the follow-up question never gets answered: if she's willing to spend taxpayer money on something so ego-driven and ridiculous, imagine what she's willing to spend donor money on. Taxes are taken, donation are given voluntarily.

It's my theory that she used that taxpayer money to make State seem more popular, for the specific purpose of later campaigning on that popularity.

[peacebird]

89. Good grief! Hillary spent $630k to buy "Likes" on facebook when she was Sec of State?!? Pathetic.

[renate]

98. wow! I never heard that!

How absurd. And kind of embarrassing.

[RufusTFirefly]

118. Yeah. Kind of sad, really. Like the rich kid who needs to buy friends

[JackRiddler]

114. Your tax money at work. 630K=11 or 12 U.S. per capita incomes.

[bvar22]

119. Hillary HAS to buy credibility,

because she hasn't earned any on her own.

[Jitter65]

54. How quickly the discussion is deflected to smear Hillary camp for repeating a story published by

someone else. Initially the Hillary camp was blamed for originating the story and smearing Bernie's marriage.
Now what?

[TDale313]

62. The story came from David Brock's site.

So, yeah, came from the Clinton camp. This was an apology from another source for sharing it.

[kgnu_fan]

65. David Brock --- remember his name....

[Jitter65]

68. The nasty quote was originated by Badash's publication

The article inaccurately described their interaction, and even incorrectly reported his words. The Senator appeared to say to Dr. Sanders, "Don't stand there," and we reported that as, "Don't stand next to me.

[TDale313]

75. The story originated with Blue Nation Review

Brock's site and a propaganda arm of the Clinton Campaign. It was a nasty hit piece. This site just picked it up, apparently.

http://bluenationreview.com/bernie-dont-stand-next-to-me/

[Doctor_J]

64. Republicans/Benghazi = Hillarians/This Story

They are pathetic. It doesn't bother them in the least that Hillary engineered a bloody coup in Honduras, but this lie about Bernie will keep them warm for weeks.

[nc4bo]

74. Ok, I'll say it... Apology NOT accepted.

x3.

Too late.

[jillan]

76. I would like to see apologies from certain DUers as well. You call us BernieBros & other things, yet

you drool over this propaganda bullshit and ATTACK the marriage of Bernie and Jane.

I expect this in the general from repugs but not from other Dems.

[beam me up scottie]

79. The disgusting way they used this to accuse Bernie of spousal abuse warrants one.

But you know that will never happen.

[kgnu_fan]

94. kick

[cyberswede]

91. Kick...

but you can't really un-ring a bell. It's ridiculous that this is even a thing.

[PonyUp]

96. Hillarians here won't apologize. And they expect us to fall in line for HiLIARy. LMAO!

[pdsimdars]

100. Smart people already knew that

When that BS started popping up yesterday, I didn't even go look. I knew it was wrong and would be debunked. People are who they are. If you have watched the way Bernie has conducted himself not only on this campaign but throughout his entire career, you SHOULD have known that this story didn't match up.

It is unfortunate that people on the other side are so anxious to smear him that they ran with it without thinking. Like sharks smelling blood. And these same people seem incapable of LOOKING IN THE MIRROR for a little self reflection.

Already today there seem to be a number of OPs about those "Bernie supporters". There is a lot of that meme of "Bernie supporters" and how bad they are.
LOOK IN THE MIRROR, Hillary bots, you seem to have no shame.

[Warren DeMontague]

102. So he insulted his wife..... was this before or after he socked Dolores Huerta in the jaw?

I heard he bit the head off a bat, too.

[VulgarPoet]

110. Too fuckin' late.

The entire campaign is exposed to be nudists; the oligarchs have no clothes. That they'd stoop to Tea Partier tactics to try and smear Sanders tells me that no, the Democratic Party does not deserve my loyalty, and does not deserve any kind of praises from this Independent. This entire debacle, between the original posting of the article and David Brock seizing onto it like a hunk of flyblown meat tossed to a mangy mongrel has left me with four words: "Fuck the Clinton campaign."

[Vinca]

111. That was a really stupid, bullshit story.

I wonder how many more times they'll post it in this forum.

[beac]

113. K&R'ing this above all the threads promoting this BS story.

[LAS14]

116. Excellent!

[DisgustipatedinCA]

117. Please don't forget who flogged this story on DU for 24 hours.

Don't ever trust a confirmed liar for any reason. If they'll lie to you in order to try to make you believe something they know not to be true, there's nothing they won't do if the situation arises.
