Bernie's upstate ad

[CrowCityDem]

Is completely insulting. He promotes his support of family farming with a testimonial by a farmer from... Vermont.

Seriously? He couldn't tailor the ad to NY at all?

[TM99]

1. You know the farmer is from Vermont how?

I am just curious. Did he have a I love VT shirt on?

It might also help us to get the real context of the ad if you linked to a YouTube copy.

8. The graphic with his name says he's from Vermont.

[Armstead]

2. And Vermont and New York farmers are different how?

3. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!1!

7. :LOL! You suck - I spit out my beer!!

[CentralCoaster]

9. I am offended. No, worse, I am personally hurt. I feel violated.

11. Me too, I may never get over it.

4. He took the "cow country" thing a literal too literally.

Not many actual farmers up there.

12. Yep - definite drop the last few years...

"The state lost 23 percent of its dairy farms in five years, from 2001 to 2007. In 2007, the state had nearly 5,700 dairy farms, down from nearly 7,400 in 2002, according to the USDA."

5. I bet the family farmers of upstate NY don't find it insulting, and I bet they vote overwhelmingly

for Bernie Sanders. Your faux outrage is noted though.

10. I'm waiting for Hillary to try to do this:

14. HRC - "I remember waking early one morning, to a strange sound...

It was... screaming. Some kind of screaming, like a child's voice. I went downstairs, outside. I crept up into the barn. I was so scared to look inside, but I had to. The cows - the cows were screaming. First I tried to free them. I... I opened the gate to their pen, but they wouldn't run. They just stood there, confused. They wouldn't run.
I took one cow, and I ran away as fast as I could. I thought, I thought if I could save just one, but... he was so heavy. So heavy. "

15. LOL! After her performance on the subway I wouldn't let her near a cow.

The SNL skits would be priceless though.

[ThePhilosopher04]

16. You ruined it for her. She'll have to come up with another whopper now. Good one though!

[JudyM]

6. Oh the horror.

[sadoldgirl]

13. Oh dear, how could he do this!

This has to be investigated immediately!

This is slander, nay a crime! Get a prosecutor

right away!

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. It is almost as bad as Hillary's ad showing her eating roasted kittens...

What? You want a link? We don't need no stinking links.


If it's this one, I love it. It played here in Texas too, and it covers all farmers.

Rock is right.

18. Great ad!
