Why must Hillary supporters feign outrage over Bernie

[KPN]

spending "hundreds of thousands of dollars" to give a 10 minute speech at the Vatican today" and then go on about compassionate Hillary spending today in Harlem by comparison?

No less why must they post this small-minded ridicule in the Hillary group instead of in GD-P?

Why? From the people who consistently complain about Bernie supporters being hurtful and mean? I don"t understand that.

This stuff really seems quite childish.

1. It's not relevant that Mr Green Mountain burned over 30,000 gallons for a failed photo op?

That he spent over $600K to visit Italy by couldn't take a car ride down to Harlem?

You have odd priorities.

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. Misguided Anger - Peoples Exhibit "A" ^^^^^

Thank you for responding so quickly

.

12. You kids have fun with your little gossip circle then. Clearly me and facts aren't welcome. nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

23. 369 posts in a week? Have you met our HRC Group yet?

They'll probably elect you CEO.

[CentralCoaster]

50. They say 10 family members with him, hundreds of thousands of $$$!. Here's the video:

Commercial flight, looks like Delta.

Him, Jane, secret service I suppose.

What a hoot!

7. Suckah!

[CoffeeCat]

30. When the Vatican invites you to participate in a conference

you go. It was an wonderful opportunity for Bernie to discuss income inequality, social justice and climate change at the Vatican.

This was never about "photo ops". Only in your mind.

Bernie will be back in New York tomorrow. Hillary will be dining at the home of a venture capitalist, charging people $350,000 just for the privilege of sitting next to her and the rest of the one-percent Glitterati.

You find Bernie's trip "odd" but you don't find Hillary's grotesque display odd? How about revolting?

Before you criticize Bernie for speaking out about the importance of helping the less fortunate, you might want to take a gander at the laughable spectacle that she has going on at that venture capitalist's mansion.

There will be 1,500 protesters there, at the mansion gates--drawing attention to the contrast between a candidate whose campaign is funded by "We The People" and the candidate whose campaign is funded by powerful special interests, millionaires, billionaires and hedge---fund managers.

[TheFarseer]

38. Like Hillary has never flown anywhere

Hillary people are probably still trying to wrap their heads around spending hundreds of thousands to make a speech instead of getting hundreds of thousands to make a speech. They just can't get this to add up.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

44. name calling and facts not backed up with links doesn't go over well here

[QC]

46. Especially when they are just recycled Republican talking points,

like the old chestnut about how Al Gore says he's an environmentalist but he flies around in a big ole AIRPLANE!!!!

[TM99]

52. Not. Good. Enough. Bernie.

The refrain of the morally bankrupt supporters of the candidate with the FBI investigation, a history of lies, and the obscene wealth that is used to buy and control power and influence in DC.

You have no priorities.

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. Envy, Anger, Frustration come to mind.

I'm sure there's more to be added.

[beam me up scottie]

4. They're not deep thinkers.

We should have compassion for them, they need to deflect from their candidate's record and don't know how to do it without projecting.

[angstlessk]

13. Eggzactly...they think it was for a photo op!

They think like Hillary is all...different minds, different priorities!

[beam me up scottie]

14. It's not their fault that they don't recognize an honest politician.

We should send them flowers and hope they get over it soon.

[QC]

32. They can't comprehend someone acting from

something other than naked self-interest, so they assume everyone is like that.

[beam me up scottie]

37. Indeed, they must think Bernie's been "pandering" to poor people his entire career.

He could have made millions from special interests but he didn't, he showed up to work in Washington every day and fought for us.

The hatred for this man and what they're willing to say about him is disturbing.

[QC]

40. I saw one of the stupider fanz on Facebook

say that people who are concerned about Hillary's speaking fees are "just jealous."

The last time I heard that one was in junior high, but this woman was well into middle age.

[beam me up scottie]

42. Did you see the posts here accusing us of sexism for posting about them?

Apparently remaking about the obscene amount of money she took from corporations = claiming women shouldn't be paid as much as men.

[QC]

43. Are women in general--and Hillary in particular--well served

by people arguing that they are delicate hothouse flowers who must never, ever be subject to disagreement or criticism?

The logical conclusion to that argument is that women have no place in politics, and I think that's very wrong.

[beam me up scottie]

45. Nope, and intelligent women resent the hell out of that kind of defense.

It diminishes us all, I'm shocked to see that argument used here so frequently.

[QC]

47. It's the old "girls are sugar and spice" bullshit

expressed as concern for women.

[beam me up scottie]

49. And DU's self declared defenders of feminism are leading the charge!

[QC]

53. These aren't the sort of people to think deeply or far ahead.

If something meets the need to defend the object of their bizarre obsession right now, that's good enough.

[beam me up scottie]

54. Yup. They're even defending her admitted willingness to compromise on abortion.

While attacking feminists like Bernie who have been out allies for decades.

They're faux feminists imo.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

5. they stand behind their wall and fling ______

it is all they got

[FlatBaroque]

34. I have found the perfect logo for them

[SoLeftIAmRight]

36. yep - that looks like them

...

[QC]

41. Love it!

[floriduck]

6. Because they can feed at their own trough without fear of ridicule.

Those who do that are like the old foggies who sit and watch Fox News all day. They only want to hear ideologies consistent of their own. Very sad situation of those who can't bear to wander into more challenging territory.

[Baobab]

8. They likely do it to push the stories they dont like off the list that people can see.

[dchill]

9. Self-loathing? Envy? Deep need to project?

All of the above, while dressed in Brockpanties.

[Punkingal]

10. Hillary=Harlem today, massive fundraiser tonight.

Some people should just keep quiet.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. It's not feigned outrage; it's real outrage, which makes it even worse.

It comes from knowing that Bernie's goal is getting people to understand that the political game is rigged against the 99% and that his message is catching on. Hillary has been pandering to the 1% ever since she carpetbagged her way into the Senate but until now she's been able to disguise her participation in the soft corruption of national politics (on both sides of the aisle) as normal speaking gigs and fundraising appearances. Everybody does it, right? Maybe they do, but Bernie's point is that they shouldn't - not Democrats or Republicans - because it turns democracy into a hollow sham that works only for the wealthy.

Those who support the safe, business-as-usual center either don't believe this or don't care. If you don't believe it you'd better look again; if you don't care, you might as well vote GOP. At least they don't pretend they aren't corporate tools because they believe that's what politicians ought to be. Establishment Dems just pretend they aren't corporate tools in order to get the votes of the 99% who have been getting hosed by the vampire squids of Wall Street and think government ought to work for the people, but those politicians don't want their gravy train to be derailed.

The outrage arises from Bernie pulling back the curtain.

[angstlessk]

15. I love that...pulling away the curtain

as in OZ...you can't go back once the curtain is pulled away..

Maybe Hillary is getting a heart?

[azmom]

26. Agree. They know Bernie has the high moral ground,

and it just kills them.

I think it also pains them to believe that Hillary may not be what they always wished her to be.

[xloadiex]

16. That's what they were hired to do n/t

[Buzz Clik]

17. Why doesn't Sanders spending this money on a publicity stunt...

...bug the hell out you?

[Kalidurga]

28. Because it bugs the hell out of you.

Did it hurt when you walked into that?

[Buzz Clik]

39. Nerf bat maybe. But, hell no it does not bother me. Rather

...I am thrilled. Sanders pissing away nearly the equivalent of his net wealth on a publicity stunt. And the Sanders crowd cheering wildly as the man of the people flies to the most opulent place on the planet.

In the mean time, he misses 48 hours of campaigning for the single most important primary of the season.

This is win win win for my side.

[islandmkl]

55. your scoreboard might need some maintenance...

let us know Sunday how all the fundraising plays out...and i'm not speaking monetarily...

oh, excuse me...your crowd doesn't have any other way of measuring such things, does it?

[Buzz Clik]

56. You are changing the subject? Why?

[islandmkl]

58. cognitive dissonance on your part? trouble following your own line of bullshit, err...reasoning?

only a dedicated Hillbot would use the word 'opulent' in reference to Bernie's trip while ignoring the settings of his/her favorite candidate in the next 48 hours...

i get it it...1 HARLEM = 2 BILLIONAIRE MANSIONS

you are 'ob'...something...'tuse?...fuscating?

[Buzz Clik]

59. I am not the anti-establishment socialist who hates the 1%ers

I am being 100% consistent while you slobbering fans are proving that you don't care what sanders does or is.

I get this growingly eerie feeling that you guys and Trump's band of knuckedragging assholes are cut from the same cloth.

[GoneFishin]

18. They're still angry that Bernie rained on H's coronation.

[Milestone]

19. Bernie is willing to pay

to deliver a message he believes in. With Hillary, you have to pay her to deliver the message she thinks you want to hear.

[LuvLoogie]

20. Not outraged, but bemused...

[Kip Humphrey]

21. 12 bucks per hour, that's why.

[hobbit709]

22. Because they don't dare talk about HRC and her ever changing positions.

[CharlotteVale]

24. ^^This response applies to pretty much any question about them^^

[HooptieWagon]

25. Their candidate is weak, and has catastrophic unfavorables.

Understandable they can't find any positives about Hillary, so they invent poutrage about Ssnders...although some of the poutrage is the daily screeching points from David 'Slimeball' Brock.

[riversedge]

27. LOL. You you peep into Hill Group--steal some content and bring it out here to whine about.

[Kalidurga]

29. It's the only way to talk about it.

Since about 80% of Bernie supporters are blocked by the Hillarian group.

[grossproffit]

31. I don't even look at the BS group. I'm just not interested.

[Kalidurga]

33. Good on you. Don't care. Love your name though.

[KPN]

35. Get over yourself. No peep ...

the title was Why does Sanders Spend 000s of thousands ball blah blah.

That caught caught my eye and I clicked on it. Actually tried to respond but "BLOCKED".

Hope you don't hurt yourself making like your laughing.

[seabeyond]

48. Why must you suggest anyone "feigns" or are "outraged" for simple discussion?

[grasswire]

51. Because their leader does not model integrity.

Hillary's M.O. is bitterness, snide demeanor, snark, and so on.

And her supporters apparently follow suit.

[Buzz cook]

57. For the same reason Sanders supporters feign outrage.

They're trying to play to the audience.
