Throwing dollar bills at a woman...just when you think BernieBros couldn't get anymore crass!

[hill2016]

My blood is boiling. Could the political discourse get any lower?

Are we seriously still pretending that "BernieBros" was something conjured up by the Clinton campaign?

[Kalidurga]

1. The nerve

They should know they are expected to throw bundles of cash of not less than $250,000

[JackInGreen]

2. Only TOP DOLLAR

To get Hillary to shake that policy maker.

[navarth]

192. shake that policy maker LOL

very clever

You must admit the orig poster does create great humor for DU. Credit where credit's due.

[840high]

60. Bam!!!!!

[berni_mccoy]

86. Lol

[merrily]

128. That's $253,000 to you.

[AgerolanAmerican]

3. that gender card is a bit dog eared by now ain't it?

what else ya got?

[whathehell]

33. No, not until they start throwing money at all those male 'whores' in politics

[AgerolanAmerican]

45. there's a video floating around of people doing just that

what else ya got?

[whathehell]

110. I got plenty, and when you find that video 'floating around"

I'll tell you...How's that?

[Bonobo]

65. Kinda like this?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511766004

[whathehell]

112. No, not like that..

More like when they start calling them "whores" and talking about differences between 'hookers' and "call girls", duh, as in post #58

[Bonobo]

114. Pffft. Those protests with money thrown go back to the 60's. nt

[whathehell]

116. Nice dodge

but FWIW, I marched in those 60's demonstration and never saw it. Try again.

[Bonobo]

119. Well that's okay, it's documented above.

How is it a dodge. I showed evidence of precisely the same protests above, with video and links, and they weren't sexist.

Why is it suddenly sexist?

You're really not making any sense.

[whathehell]

145. Lol..I already described the post I was addressing

but you are artfully attempting to 'dodge' it...Get it now?

[Desert805]

171. Well, I don't get it.

You asked for proof, and promptly received it.

Evidence. How does it work?

[merrily]

129. Remind me which male corporate candidate is running against Bernie in the Dem primary.

[whathehell]

113. Do you think the race card is a bit 'dog eared' too?

Or is it just women's fight for dignity that you find tiresome?

[merrily]

130. Women's fight for dignity does not equal playing the gender card.

To the contrary.

[kaleckim]

150. Well...

it was relevant in 2008 when she and her husband were doing horribly racist things against Obama. Don't pretend to not remember that. Here, it is clear that they were throwing money to make a statement about corruption, and women were involved in this action. You all think people are stupid as humans can be to think that people can't see this for the clumsy propaganda it is. It wasn't sexist, it was an action against her corruption.

[neverforget]

4. Wall Street threw dollar bills at Hillary

in the form of speeches.

[Orsino]

103. And they weren't tossing singles. n/t

[Octafish]

165. $250,000 rolls at a time.

Not that there's anything illegal in that.

[Armstead]

5. Awwwwwww

[MrWendel]

6. Well....

she is supposed to be a whore right?

[Armstead]

7. Berniebros are too busy choosing which randomn people they are going to shoot....

according to Mr. Clinton.

Where are your delicate sensibilities about that "funny" reference to mass shootings?

[hill2016]

9. that sentiment has been expressed on DU before

but the method of execution is the guillotine not shooting

[Armstead]

15. Amazing the statements by a Clinton you'll rationalize

[hill2016]

17. is it not true that

right on this forum there have been calls to execute Wall Street, one percenters, etc.?

[Armstead]

22. Fuirst of all it's a very small minority engaging in hyperbolie and...

They are just worked up posters on a message board -- not a former president and the spouse of a current candidate.

If Jane were to make a comparably tasteless and incendiary joke about Clinton supporters....Oh you'd be in high dudgeon I'm sure.

[hill2016]

25. well then

what Bill Clinton said was factually accurate. There are some Bernie supporters who have expressed the implicit or explicit desire to execute the rich/Wall Street/1%. Good for him for calling them out on that.

Clinton supporters say that Bernie's numbers don't add up. If Jane were to say something like "Clinton supporters think Bernie can't do maths lol" I don't see anything wrong with that as it's factually accurate.

[Armstead]

28. You should go to work in the cigarette advertising industry

It'd be a fine place for your desire to continually spin things in strange and wonderful ways

[berniepdx420]

36. +1

[2pooped2pop]

80. +1001

[berniepdx420]

37. horrible post.. horrible just horrible..

[uponit7771]

98. So to answer the posters question... Yes, yes... there have been calls to execute Wall Street folks

... even on DU

[DemocracyDirect]

131. Wow the false equivalence...

... between random anonymous posters and the ...

former President of the United States...

and a surrogate of someone running for President of the United States.

Bernie Sanders already apologized for the corporate whore remark and it was his surrogate that said it, and it was even in a defensible context.

What is wrong with you people?

Joking about shooting people?

[uponit7771]

132. Well, you're right... DU folk have more weight in what they say than the rest of everyone else

... lol... this place is a riot

[berniepdx420]

38. filthy low down.. this post is

[TowneshipRebellion]

52. That is what happens in

a people's revolution. The poor workers remove their wealthy abusers from power, manually. Hopefully things won't come to that but the endgame of increasing inequality is an october revolution type situation. We are closer than you might think.

[berniepdx420]

39. you are low down

[MrWendel]

12. Good...

to know that guns and the people that lovingly produce them, are being taken seriously. Wish Bernie did when riding with the NRA in Vermont.

[840high]

61. With a D- rating from the NRA

[uponit7771]

99. Which is still passing and that's horrible

[MrWendel]

198. Because ....

getting an F is so hard?

[BeanMusical]

73. "Hillary and the gun deals she signed off on"

A Pentagon document, linked to by Lee Fang of The Intercept shows that "Clinton approved a sale of over 4 million dollars ($4,195,110.40 by my count) by the Remington Arms Company of New York in 2012. This is particularly notable because Remington is the same gun maker that made the AR-15-type semiautomatic rifle (a Bushmaster XM15-E2S) used by Adam Lanza in the Sandy Hook massacre in December of 2012. Remington Arms is now the subject of the families’ lawsuit.

Furthermore;

The Pentagon document also shows Clinton that year approved over $100 million dollars ($116,160,367.19 by my count) in ammunition sales by Alliant Techsystems, the parent company of Savage Arms, which makes the MK II-F bolt action rifle Lanza used to kill his mother.

...

This revenue for gun and ammunition makers helped the NRA in its political efforts. In 2014, Bill Clinton campaigned for Senator Mark Pryor of Arkansas. Pryor’s opponent Tom Cotton was supported by NRA money contributing to Pryor’s defeat. Clinton thus approved gun sale revenue that would have flowed through Remington, Colt and others to the NRA onwards to the Clintons’ declared political opponents. NRA spending on lobbying and elections outpaced such spending by the Brady Campaign Against Gun Violence by 73 to 1 in 2012.

Many of the Clinton-approved sales were to client nations who receive military aid from the U.S. (Afghanistan, Egypt, Israel) and thus from taxpayers. So the NRA is funded by your taxes this way:

you ? federal government ? client nation ? gunmaker ? NRA

144. And the foundation also took remingtons money

Just before.a.big gun sale overseas is what i heard

[pinebox]

88. I wish Hillary wasn't nicknamed Annie Oakley

You may want to take a look at your own candidate before calling Bernie out on something which you deem to be "bad".

[whathehell]

24. Is she more of a "whore" than her husband?...

Throw him money. -- This is some ugly sexism posing as "politics"

[Human101948]

84. Are you purposely ignoring the videos of money being thrown at men?

Or just posting without paying attention?



I'll make it easy for you--
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511766004

[whathehell]

108. I'm responding to the poster who said "she is supposed to be a whore".

Duh...Talk to him.

[SwampG8r]

147. Wendel is a hillary supporter

When you go around saying she has been called that name here on du please always remember that mr wendel is a hillary supporter
No bernie supporter has called her that it was posted by her supporter.

[whathehell]

149. Hmm..Then I'm guessing he either doesn't communicate well, or

like a lot of males, is tone deaf when it comes to gender slurs.

[SwampG8r]

155. Myself i think hes laying bait

Later this will be linked to to."prove" she has been called that without the modifier "corporate".

[whathehell]

162. You may be right..

IThis was my first experience with this poster, so I don't know.

[SwampG8r]

163. Im assumi g you are.a.hillary fan

Be aware of who is attaching themselves.

[whathehell]

169. I'm a Bernie supporter, but, like Bernie, I won't tolerate gender slurs

[SwampG8r]

172. Well good.on both counts but

Keep an eye out for tbis guy using his post here to.later back a claim.
Its sickening to see.these issues politicized.

[whathehell]

175. Thanks..

and I appreciate the advice.

[polly7]

120. "Corporate whore" applies to anyone, as much as you need to make it apply to only women.

WHO is being sexist here??? (That would be, you).

[whathehell]

139. I "need it to apply only to women", lol?... Riiiight..

Check the post of "Mr. Wendell" he refers to Hillary as a "whore" not a 'corporate whore". His is the post to which

I responded, and another poster has already called him out on it, so it seems you're a little behind, as usual.

Only idiots try to pretend that the word "whore" isn't a gender slur, first and foremost

[polly7]

140. Of course you do. As you are. nt.

[whathehell]

143. So you're actually claiming women haven't, and aren't, called 'whores' more than men?

That would be funny, if it weren't so frightfully ignorant.

My dear, the word "whore" as a slur applied to women who had sex with men for money, is EXTREMELY

old. It vastly predates the very EXISTENCE of corporations, let alone the term "corporate whore".

Sorry, that's all the remedial education I have time for today.

[whathehell]

168. Gee whiz, Polly, that makes two of us!

and I'm ALSO a survivor of stalking and rape....So what's you:re point? What the fuck does that have to do with the history of the word 'whore" and it's status as a gender slur? I agree that "corporate whore" is not a gender slur, but, again, that is not how it was presented by the poster I responded to, nor does it relate to your silly denials about the use of the word, generally, so take the flustered, knee jerk blubber you're using to shore up your point and YOU shove it where the sun don,'t shine..
.I thought I already had you on ignore...Let me now make sure of it. Goodbye and good luck.

[polly7]

173. I know, I always seem to do a knee jerk blubber when I see the idiot 'sexism' claim made

for something that's nothing but complete and utter bullshit. You're right, it is knee jerk - this kind of crap makes me angry. Women die every day from real sexism, lives are ruined because of it. Political/corporate 'whores' know no gender - stop trying to politicize real suffering.

See ya!!

[ieoeja]

185. Problems with sarcastic parody?

MrWendell is a Hillary supporter. So "she's supposed to be a whore" should be expanded to:

According to Bernie supporter's she is supposed to be a whore. So that is why they think it is funny to throw money at her to call her a whore. Because Bernie supporters are misogynist assholes.

Of course, you started playing the "they're calling her a whore" routine in response to posts earlier than MrWendell which gives the lie to your entire pretense of using MrWendell's post to justify your routine.

[whathehell]

196. Lol...Only when the "sarcastic parody' is so poorly done

it's mistaken for literal fact.

I'm a Bernie supporter who,, like Bernie himself, does not like the misogynistic tone I hear from some of the "Bernie bros". That being said, I plead guilty to being mislead by the OP and Mr. Wendell. Others on the thread were similatly mislead.

[berniepdx420]

41. you are repugnant !

[Silver_Witch]

47. I am so beyond sad..

that you are promoting the "whore" meme. You really need to move to something else. WE have been calling politicans whores for decades. That is what happens when you sell your soul to the highest bidder.

[Bonobo]

8. I think I know the problem.

They were only "ones".

It wasn't ENOUGH money.

11. The constant spinning has gotten so tiresome. nt

[JackRiddler]

13. Oh, the humanity!

[whathehell]

115. Women aren't 'humanity'.

That's reserved for men, isn't it?

[kaleckim]

151. So

you pretend this is about her gender and not her corruption. How obvious and clunky. Were the women doing this as well sexist? Maybe you are the most intelligent feminist in the world and they just didn't understand how sexist they were being towards their gender. There they were, doing this demonstration about corruption and little did they know that it was really about them hating women. Whatthehell should have dropped some knowledge on them, LOL!

[cui bono]

14. She pleaded for $1 donations. I'm not kidding Maddi!!!

.

[RandySF]

16. It's the revolution, man.

Bourgeois manners have no place in the new worker's paradise. Soon, even Hillary will be singing Bernie's praises during the marijuana harvests at the collective.

[AgerolanAmerican]

46. There we go! Good job!

Red-baiting is at least a reasonably fresh tactic - compliments on the semioriginality!

[cui bono]

18. Calling women BernieBros... just when you think Hillary supporters couldn't get any more crass!

My blood is boiling. Could the political discourse get any lower?

Are we seriously still pretending that Hillary supporters aren't just walking, talking faux outrage memes?

.

[Live and Learn]

30. Just shows who the sexists really are. They are truly pathetic. nt

[cui bono]

35. Yep. And every time the play the gender card they make a mockery of the women's movement

and equality for women. Why do they want everyone to think women are so weak that they have to be treated with kid gloves and not like any other politician? Disgusting.

.

[Live and Learn]

48. Very true. Just as they did to racial injustice by falsely claiming racism on Bernie.

It is maddening.

[cui bono]

50. Yes, it is. And it is truly sickening that they exploit people's real struggles like that.

[whathehell]

125. I'm a female Bernie supporter, and I agree with you..

These adolescent, sexist 'bros' suck ass, if you don't mind me saying. Bernie has said as much in a polite, but firm way.

Just as our Obama brought out the racism among some whites, Hillary is bringing out the

misogyny -- even among would-be "progressive" men. Ughh

[Betty Karlson]

20. They threw it at Wall Street's sweetheart - gender irrelevant.

Good luck beating this long dead horse.

And by the way: anything with the suffix -bro is demeaning to the WOMEN who support Bernie. (They are the majority of his supporters.) So I'm going to call projection on your overprivileged worldview.

[jillan]

21. Are women Bernie Bros too because I saw a lot of women in the video. And if you are calling the

women Bros, is that sexist? Most women are proud to be a woman. So not exactly sure what we should call them.

Bernie Sisters?

This whole sexism charge is so confusing when you are a woman and are constantly called a Bernie Bro.

[berniepdx420]

101. Next step: they're be Bernie Hos.

[kaleckim]

158. The propaganda isn't supposed to make sense

Calling everything in the world sexist also undermines fighting actual sexism, not that these people actually think with any depth and realize that obvious truism. My god, they're so pathetic that they call women sexist. They pretend to not get that it is about corruption.

[Ned_Devine]

26. Especially after that $350,000 per couple fundraiser. The horror!

[berniepdx420]

27. .. tired of hearing you whine

all day all night..

[ChisolmTrailDem]

31. ...

You're blood is not boiling. She is soaked in corporate funding...representing corporations for profit instead of representing The People is as low as it gets.

vimeo.com/163178551

[CoffeeCat]

34. Let me guess, you're out of Pope-rage, so you had to find a new project?

Since when do the Bernie Bros get all of the credit for the amazing idea of throwing money at a corporate sell out?

It's been two days since this these protesters 'made it rain'--so obviously it was a smashing success, if we're still discussing it!

The spotlight on Hillary's participation and enthusiastic support for our corrupt-campaign finance system continues to burn bright!

The female Bernie supporters want some recognition too. I saw plenty there throwing that cash around.

[Bonobo]

40. PLEASE SEE THIS POST

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511766004

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

42. Is it OK to accept money from Billionaires and reject it from ordinary folks.

What's gender got to do with it?

[KPN]

43. Please. Stop with the feigned outrage.

If your "blood is boiling" at the thought of some folks protesting a political fundraising dinner costing -- what -- $353,000 a plate, by throwing $1 bills at the headliner's passing motorcade, you may have an anger issue. Take adequate precaution. Discuss this with your physician at the earliest opportunity.

[Silver_Witch]

44. Oh my Unicorn...

Just carry this to it's most silly conclusion. She is campaigning and taking money from the wealthy and so a few folks throw some money at it and somehow that is offensive.

You should be ashamed of this OP and I am ashamed for you as one woman to another.

[MFM008]

49. Some think they can bully their way in.

But HRC will win the delegates and the nomination and Mr. Sanders can pack up and go back to Vermont and get even O L D E R than he is now.

[neverforget]

51. wtf? get even older than he is now?

wtf does that even mean?

[840high]

63. ah yes - Mrs. Spring Chicken Hillary - 68.

[Arugula Latte]

126. Any everybody else stops aging? WTF?

You responded to a false accusation of sexism with a use of ageism. Very telling.

[imari362]

53. I am convinced

That some Hillary supporters don't want a strong woman as the first woman President, they only want a woman.

[Bonobo]

57. They certainly don't ACT as if she is a strong woman, that's for sure.

[northernsouthern]

54. If you are talking about the limo...

You may need to take a good look in the mirror. What normal people saw was a political statement about corruption to do with the fund raiser. They were showering the new emperor in money so they could also have access to lobby her.

What is sounds like you saw was a bunch of guys tossing money at poor lady treating her like a woman of the night. That is called projection at best. It is not a healthy attitude from a group that wants to unite us. And make no mistake Trump will own people that make arguments like you as if you were nothing at all. You think these things mean something when you spout them, but you are taking power away from real victims, you are using them as if you were the people doing these things you envision in your head. I am not sure if you are just a fake bot trying to stir things up, but there was someone just like you in our cause, so they do exist.

[davenelson5555]

55. Attacks on Hillary Clinton don't automatically equate to an attack on women

They were making a point about the obscene amount of money she is being showered with, and their point was spot on. She was enroute to a 300K/head fundraiser for crying out loud. Not to mention, your moronic "BernieBros" label is mysandrist. Before you go looking to play the gender card, you might want to try not practicing sexism yourself.

[ThePhilosopher04]

56. More manufactured outrage by Clinton fan.

It would be funny if not so sad.

59. "We've already established what you are, madam. Now we are just haggling over the price."

[BeanMusical]

75. Wow, 7-0.

And posting the birdie video was really cool.

[BreakfastClub]

67. How brainwashed are these people? Do they not realize that Hillary has to

raise money, just like any other candidate? Do they not get that it is imperative that Hillary raise money, not only for herself, but just as importantly, for the DNC and for democrats running in November? Do they want to lose seats based on some warped ideology? How pathetic and embarrassing for these people to behave like that. I would be ashamed of myself if I were them.

[BeanMusical]

77. "How brainwashed are these people?"

You'll have to ask Hill for her Kool-Aid recipe. Did it have a strange aftertaste when you drank it?

[Sky Masterson]

69. You guys are really reaching on this

its all you got though.

[azurnoir]

71. Dearest Joy speaking as someone who worked as a cocktail waitress at a club that had strippers

on weekend nights-folks don't throw $$$$ @ the strippers, so unless they personally tucking them into Hillary's unmentionables (underwear) there is absolutely no similarity

76. The gender card again, lol

More utter bullshit, wow some whine too much. There is nothing about gender for this, the candidate is bought and paid for by big money.

[BeanMusical]

78. Hill and her fans did the same thing back in 2008.

So yes, it's getting very old.

[aikoaiko]

79. I know, bundles of $2700 minimum accepted by HRC. All else is insulting.

My apologies to your preferred candidate.

[Warren Stupidity]

81. Yeah, what was Clooney thinking?

[Buns_of_Fire]

82. Well, she ASKED for dollars, didn't she?

I swear, damned if you do, damned if you don't. Poor ol' Maddi doesn't know WHAT to think any more!

Maybe they were ALL named "Maddi" -- you know, sort of an "I am Spartacus" moment.

[LiberalElite]

83. Yes, they should have just written a check eom

[pinebox]

85. LMFAO

Oh please, are you mad that people see Hillary as bathing in the buckeroos?
Maybe you should look at your candidate who loves money more than a 3 year old loves the candy aisle at Walgreen's.
Welcome to reality and how most of America sees your candidate.
We've been telling you and your ilk for this ages, you made fun of us and brushed us off. Welcome to the awakening of how Hillary is viewed by the majority of America.

90. Things are getting nasty

[Vinca]

91. Okay, let's say the stripper analogy is valid - which, of course, it's not.

There are male strippers, too. Lots of them. Crying sexism at every turn makes your candidate seem like a poor, helpless, cowering creature. You would make a much better point if you just laughed and commented on how stupid you think it was.

[Bonobo]

97. Vinca, did you see this OP I made? Doesn't this DESTROY the claim the OP makes?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511766004

[Vinca]

124. Bingo! You nailed it.

[My Good Babushka]

92. I'm pretty sure there was a just a conversation

from Hillary supporters hoping she gets a whole bunch of money from whomever wants to give it.
......I guess just not ones. Ones are for the little people.

[sufrommich]

96. Especially coming after one of Sanders surrogates

called her a "corporate whore". I doubt it was an accidental association. Disgusting.

[DrDan]

102. there is no limit to their crassness . . . coming to an embarrassing end beginning tomorrow

[forjusticethunders]

104. Optics and implications matter. Even if you may not have been consciously sexist

The action could easily be put into a sexist frame of reference when aimed at a woman. Same thing as the "corporate whores" thing, Sure you could interpret the action as gender-neutral but it has societal and cultural associations that must be kept in mind.

[beedle]

105. Who really are the sexists here?

Hillary actually asks for people to throw $1 bills at her ... What was the reaction from Bernie supporters?

Yes, Bernie supporters ridiculed her here are some examples from twitter
http://www.rsvlts.com/2016/02/10/imnotkiddingmaddi/

Bernie supporters didn't go to for the sexist interpretation, they went after the complete lack of self-awareness of the Hillary camp.

So when Bernie supporters further ridicule the this lack of awareness by doing exactly what Hillary asks people to do, throw $1 bills at her, what do the Hillary supporters go to? Fucking sexism!!

"Look at me, I'm an attractive candidate swinging on a pole begging you to throw $1 bills at me .... What are you doing throwing $1 bills at me? Do you think I'm a stripper?"

It really is quite entertaining, the way you feign outrage over the stupidest shit. Of course all the things you lose your marbles over are strawmen -- we do see through you, you know.

[workinclasszero]

111. "Throwing dollar bills at a woman."

The only good thing about it is they outed themselves as sexists and the berniebros and their rep are real.

[Arugula Latte]

123. Hillary supporters attribute every action to "sexism"

in an effort to protect her from criticism. THAT is sexism.

People through money at her because she's a money grubber, not because she's female.

You guys really have no shame when it comes to these false accusations.

[NurseJackie]

184. Their attempts to defend it are, uh, "creative" is a good word.

189. Sometimes I feel like if a Bernie supporter tossed Hillary a water bottle

and she failed to catch it this would somehow be deemed sexist because the water would have splashed on her.

[polly7]

117. I thought she wanted as many $1 contributions as possible to be able to

show her campaign was being supported by so many small donations?

[polly7]

118. Her campaign asked for dollar donations. Didn't it??? nt.

[Autumn]

127. Hot damn!!! Maddi finally came through!!!!

[polly7]

136. Big time! LOL. nt.

[Autumn]

121. You know I looked at that Black SUV and I didn't see any lady parts or boy parts for that matter.

But seriously. Do you even know which SUV she was in? No you don't just ginned up outrage about Bernie and his supporters. Here's what I see, someone says corporate whore you guys automatically decide it's Hillary who is the corporate whore. Protesters throw dollar bills at a line of SUV's and you guys automatically put Hillary on a stripper pole. You are either deliberately trying to smear people as sexist or you guys really have a low opinion of your candidate. I have a low opinion of her but when I hear the word whore my mind doesn't automatically tie Hillary and the word whore together. When I see protesters throwing dollar bills at SUV's, plural, and you have no way of knowing what vehicle she was in, on their way into a high dollar fundraiser I see a statement being made about money in politics.
My mind doesn't put Hillary on a stripper pole like your does, I don't associate the word whore with her either. Too bad her supporters think of her that way. She deserves better.

[Karmadillo]

122. But corporations throwing $250,000 checks at her for a speech? Not a problem.

[beedle]

141. Well known fact

there is no sexism, hookers, or sex parties on Wall St.

[merrily]

133. They put their money where their mouth was.

And yes, Bernie Bros was something conjured up by the Hillary campaign, same as Obama Boys.

[Katashi_itto]

134. Should it have been $5 bills?

[Autumn]

137. Inflation makes my blood boil.

[Katashi_itto]

138. :)

[oldandhappy]

135. I think I am ready for a cap on these spitting contests. How about 100 posts and cap??

[Peregrine Took]

142. Identity politics are so '90's.

We're all people in a f'ed up country.

Let's turn it around.

[LexVegas]

146. Blatant sexism. Disgusting. nt

[kaleckim]

148. LOL!

So today's fake outrage is to pretend this isn't about corruption but instead an insult to her as a woman, as if there were no women throwing bills as well. Does your blood always boil because of fake, manufactured nonsense? Pretend to not get the point as to why they were throwing dollar bills at her. Most anyone else can make sense of this, even if you can't.

[NurseJackie]

152. The "defenders" are the ones pretending. Y'all fucked-up. Take the hits and move on.

Learn from your mistakes and try to avoid making the same (or similar) ones in the future.

Pretending that we're intentionally misunderstanding only makes things worse for Bernie as it helps to illustrate exactly what everyone's upset about.

But... as always, the choice is yours to make. Whether you learn from your mistakes is entirely up to you. We can't force you, but we can continue to point out when you're wrong, and when the actions are unacceptable. (Count on it.)

Go, Hillary! We love you!

156. What are you talking about?

You make no sense. They, WOMEN TOO, were throwing dollar bills because of her corruption and you are all a fake outrage machine. I have no clue who you think you are fooling with this, but it doesn't work with anyone outside of your little bubble and it makes you all look silly. There is real sexism in the world and you calling everything sexism doesn't help deal with real sexism. You have all used this so often that people won't take you seriously when real sexism occurs, since you do this fake nonsense so often.

"Go, Hillary! We love you!"

Yes, Mao, I mean Hillary, we love you, we are devoted to you, we dream about you every night.

159. I'm smarter than you think I am.

I'd normally dismiss such efforts with a "nice try" ... but I can't even bring myself to do that.

166. Do you think people will fall for that?

Realize that you can't substantiate your silly propaganda. Doesn't help your candidate and it certainly doesn't help fighting against actual sexism.

[NurseJackie]

167. That makes no sense. Did you intend to reply to someone else?

181. No

your stupid propaganda of pretending this was a mistake and was sexist. I don't know who you think you are fooling. The people involved in this demonstration, which included women (that clearly hate other women I guess), did what they did to protest corruption. Pretending, which is all it is, that this is sexist is absurd. It's called deflection, because you can't and won't deal with her decades long corruption.

[NurseJackie]

183. Your reply amuses me.

The more you defend it, the harder I laugh. (Oh! My sides ache!)

187. You have the mind

of a child. Laugh all you want, you look like a fool. Are you laughing at the fact that you can't back what you are saying up? Yes, you are, whether you realize it or not.

[NurseJackie]

190. Some things are so obvious that they don't need "backing up" ...

... this is one of those things, whether you realize it or not.

193. Jury Results

On Mon Apr 18, 2016, 06:51 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

You have the mind
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1769322

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Personal attack. Personal insult. Saying things like "You have the mind of a child" and "you look like a fool" are personal attacks and not permitted by DU rules.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Apr 18, 2016, 06:57 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Personal attack.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Because the rest of this sub-thread is SO respectful... *eye roll*
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's not a civil discussion from either member. I'd vote hide the thread.
And NurseJackie could lose her little condescending "note to juries"; I consider that a far more hideable "offense" than the post we're voting on.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This whole thread is a steaming pile. I'm not going to vote to hide one post.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Meh, nothing here of interest.

[hobbit709]

170. That's a low bar.

[jmg257]

157. If someone throws you a dollar, would you actually buy a clue?

“I think it’s exciting to be, in effect, protesting”

Hillary Clinton Apr 6, 2016

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

160. They should have been throwing $100s.

Hillary wouldn't stoop to pick up ones; those are for the peasants. But were you outraged when corruption protestors showered a FIFA boss with money, or when Monsanto protestors threw dollar bills on the Senate building floor, or when Abbie Hoffman threw money onto the floor of the New York Stock Exchange? The protest was against the corruption of big money in politics, and Hillary's minions are not helping her by whining that every criticism is sexist. I will not use the term "whore," although - as I'm sure you know - it does not refer only to sex workers, but also to people and institutions who will compromise their ethics in exchange for money. It would appear, however, that when a woman compromises her political ethics for money we must dance very, very lightly - in fact, we may not mention that issue at all, lest we be called sexist.

[Avalux]

161. Your blood is boiling? LOLOL

There are a few of you who, I believe, are very clever satirists masquerading as Hillary supporters. I get the biggest kick out of your posts.

[MisterP]

164. THAT gets your blood boiling? how do you walk down the street without being struck stone dead

by seeing something from THE PATRIARCHY?

[SoapBox]

174. She's was "flat broke" ya know!

She needs the money...NEEDS it I tells ya!

[Throd]

176. My first reaction was laughter. A protest well done.

I also knew the usual suspects at DU would be having the vapors on the fainting couch. I was not disappointed.

[EndElectoral]

177. Denomination too low? They don't make enough to throw 250K checks so is it amount's unacceptable?

[Else You Are Mad]

178. Isn't throwing...

Checks written out for hundreds of thousands of dollars just as offensive? Just ask Mr. Clooney himself.

[Peregrine Took]

179. Heaven forfend!! Let me get my lady's maid and parasol and depart this wretched place!

[brewens]

180. If they had thrown quarters, which some people might think would be more appropriate,

I could see your point. That display was not about anyone equating her with a sex worker, it's about the big money. They would have done it to a man running if he was owned by the banks and big corporations.

[vintx]

182. This shit ought to ruin feminism for a good number of people.

Y'all should be ashamed.

[ridgenvalley]

186. They threw dollar bills at a candidate.

I hope your delicate flower didn't misinterpret and get her feelings hurt, but if it's to her political advantage to do so, I'm sure she will.

[Arkana]

188. Not pretending--it is something Clinton people came up with,

and just L-O-fucking-L if you think that the dollar bill thing had anything to do with gender.

[passiveporcupine]

195. You guys are sooooo predictable

What's crass is you trying to make this a sexist theme.

[kiva]

197. Don't know...

are we still pretending the f*** you b**** Hillary supporter was made up by Bernie supporters?
