6. More insults. This is the way it's been the whole day.

"I want to be able to call Hillary a whore because she is one. And F*CK YOU!" It's been eye opening.

[m-lekktor]

15. The OP was an insult to Bernie supporters for chrissake. we are allowed to respond in kind!

[Buzz Clik]

19. Oh, I forgot. We decided that calling Hillary a whore was okay.

[Sky Masterson]

34. Nobody should ever call a woman a whore

I am against that totally!
The Term "Corporate Whore" is a term that has been used for years right here at DU without outrage.
I'm sure all here know what "Corporate Whore" means.
This is the fakest outrage over something purposely twisted in an attempt to land a blow on Sen Sanders.
Forgive me if I find this whole act of outrage insincere.

[Buzz Clik]

38. pfffft

The OP stands.

[Buzz Clik]

2. It was an interesting morning, to be sure.

It's been a long time since I've been this disgusted at posters at DU, and the first time I have witnessed the complete abandonment of liberal ideals.

[astrophuss42]

4. Heyyy

Maybe now you know how so many of us feel.

[LonePirate]

37. Liberal ideals to some people are not nearly as important to them as their Hillary hate.

That has been apparent on DU for a long time now.

[merrily]

3. Yet another bs thread starter post. It never stops.

[haikugal]

5. Stinky bait...

[QC]

9. On the contrary, I would say this is some master baiting.

Quality stuff.

[haikugal]

23. Don't tell Ted.....

[QC]

28. Frankly, humping the pillow is more productive

than posting such silliness as this.

At least it results in something.

[Chasstev365]

7. That's Right: Because I don't like Hillary's Non-Progressive

Voting record, I must hate women, as my compassionate single Mom taught me to do.

GET OVER YOURSELF!

[beam me up scottie]

8. POUTRAGE BRIGADE, FALL IN!!!

[haikugal]

26. OMG...

[beam me up scottie]

29. These threads are hilarious! All us wimmenz is missoginnistik!

[BainsBane]

10. It's not new

We've been told for a long-time that women who complain about misogyny are "weak" and that the misogynists self expression is more important than equality.

It's is ironic how this follows outrage about De Blasio's comments in NY.

[Throd]

11. What a crock of crap.

She is selling influence instead of sex, hence the modifier "corporate". What she is doing is less honorable.

[litlbilly]

12. just trying to take attention away from this:

[Vinca]

13. I take it you're the one person on DU who hasn't previously used the term "corporate whore."

[geek tragedy]

14. people act outside of themselves when they're angry

New York is pretty much it.

No way to spin a loss here. No talk of momentum, of southern states, of a path to victory, all of the tales they've told themselves are already fading away.

[m-lekktor]

21. That was deep!. nt

[Prism]

31. You compared Sanders supporters to Nazis

So, I mean.

What's up? I'm trying to find a movie on Comcast tonight to watch with a sick boyfriend dealing with a nasty sinus infection. Any recommendations?

[HERVEPA]

16. You know nothing of Bernie or of the word misogyny.

[CrowCityDem]

17. It is sad

It's one thing to point out Bernie wasn't the one who said it. Perfectly fair.

Or to argue it wasn't intentional. Less believable, but worth talking about.

Defending the word itself, and claiming that it's the truth. Not at all.

As 'progressives', we're supposed to be more sensitive to such sexist language. The fact that such a large portion of the membership here was supporting the slur, if not cheering it on, disgusts me.

[haikugal]

36. Except corporate whore is gender neutral or doesn't that fit your meme.

Give it up, if the shoe fits applies here and the man didn't say "corporate whore Hillary Clinton" so it was not only gender neutral it was applied in a general way. If everyone recognized someone in that phrase, well, where ever you go, there you are!

[Broward]

18. Between the corporate whores and their lackeys, we may not stand a chance.

[jonno99]

20. Or (and I'm just throwing this out there) - you saw a bunch of folks unwilling to be rail-roaded

by the faux outrage of those who were bent on shooting the messenger to distract attention away from the message...

I'm just sayin - it could have been that - not the whole misogyny thingee...

[Fawke Em]

22. Its nice that you're calling women misogynistic.

I'm a female Bernie supporter and I have known that "corporate whore" is not gender specific for years.

Stop fanning yourself with phony righteousness.

[pantsonfire]

24. Yeah, fuck women, I'm voting for Trump if Hillary wins the nomination...

...though I hope Bernie wins because he doesn't hate women. yeah!!!

[Fawke Em]

35. No one's voting for Trump.

And there is another woman in the race.

Ahem.

[Prism]

25. You mean how Hillary supporters supported racism?

Nevermind the colored people joke.

Black Lives Matter defends murderers and stuff.

Are you, personally, ok with that, YoungDemCA?

Answer honestly now.

[Broward]

32. I think YoungDem is also ok with corporate whoredom.

By ok, I mean the behavior of course.

[Avalux]

27. I openly embrace the truth. Hillary Inc.? Not so much. n/t

[Tarheel_Dem]

30. You won the jury.

AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service

On Thu Apr 14, 2016, 04:38 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

It's nice to see many Sanders supporters openly embracing misogyny
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511734989

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Enough of this. This is insulting and offensive. It is disruptive and flame bait. It is meta, not about the primary, but du posters.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Apr 14, 2016, 04:43 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This is not an argument, this is not a discussion, and there is not even a reference to some incident that sparked this comment and might reasonably be considered to consist of "evidence" that supported this opinion. This is just plain trolling.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Ugh. Enough! Nobody is embracing misogyny. This has gone well beyond stupid.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is fluffy, soft little furballs compared to some of the stuff I've seen hurled the other way.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't like the post, but it could be referring to people in the media or at campaign meetings, rather than DU-ers, so I feel it necessary to give the benefit of the doubt.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Well, it's getting worse. I am so OVER seeing these types of personal attacks. AND, of the last six or seven times I've served on a jury, at least five of the posts were vile, derisive attacks on Bernie and/or his supporters. Please, just stop. If you can't say anything nice about Senator Sanders AND his supporters, don't say anything at all. Your best bet is to continue to support your candidate with FACTS and TRUTH, and STOP WITH THE PUERILE PERSONAL ATTACKS.

33. You should suggest an alternative phrase for "corporate whore".

I consider the word "whore" to be genderless, but many don't. What would be a good genderless alternative?

[Lizzie Poppet]

39. The only place you're "seeing" that is in your biased mind.

And as a feminist progressive, I deeply resent that shitty insinuation. You should have the character to delete that insulting nonsense.

Then again...you're a Hillary supporters. Must keep my expectations realistic...
