Berniecrat Lucy Flores opines on the Nevada events...

[brooklynite]

I understand and share the frustration that many progressives in Nevada feel, but there were actions over the weekend and at the Democratic convention that very clearly crossed the line.

Progressives need to speak out against those: making threats against someone’s life, defacing private property, and hurling vulgar language at our female leaders. Regardless of whether you agree with the leadership of our Chairwoman Roberta Lange, under NO CIRCUMSTANCES do her actions warrant being harassed, insulted with misogynistic vulgarities and or threatened in any way.

1. Checking ....

Yep, still a little room under that (articulated) bus ... if they squeeze ...

[auntpurl]

33. They need to leave one big space for Bernie.

He's going to be driven over harder than anyone before this thing is done.

[NurseJackie]

36. It won't be much longer now. The wait is almost over.

2. Usurpation of democracy deserves far more than vulgarity

Oh my stars and garters, chalk and pejoratives! The horror of it all. We must discuss this trauma over sweet tea while fanning ourselves gently on the lanai to overcome the friction of the moment.

Lawd, save me from this tribulation!

*rolls eyes*

So delicate.

[bettyellen]

3. Gotta love the "Plantation" speak you employ here.... Don't want to leave out POC when you're being

offensive to women. Going for a twofer.

[seabeyond]

5. +1/ That is our Prism. I expect nothing less. Nt

[JonLeibowitz]

6. The "Plantation" speak is intended to mock, not exalt, that way of speaking

It's also called speaking with affectations.

Perhaps you missed the obvious sarcasm Prism meant?

[bettyellen]

7. Sarcasm was not directed to the "Plantation" owner but to those suffering under him....

So much for your cheesy excuse, should have thought that through a little better. Because his post was ugly as fuck.
So ugly, I will preserve it here:

9. You completely misunderstood the post, then.

The mocking is at the person talking in an affected manner ! Since POC did not talk like that, it is not mocking them. I don't know how much clearer this can be.

What Prism posted is not at all ugly, you just misunderstood it.

Source: every time Jon Stewart mocked Lindsey Graham for talking in an affected way.

[bettyellen]

14. Wrong context- he is mocking "the aggrieved" party- a woman, using language used to mock slaves.

Nice try.

[bvf]

21. Pretending not to see the point is

even stupider than simply not seeing it.

Nice as it would be to give you some credit here, it's hard to believe it's not an act.

Zero points.

[Ghost Dog]

32. Could be stupidity, confirmation bias,

or cynical opportunism.

[truebrit71]

11. Swing and a miss...

[bettyellen]

15. flew over YOUR head.

[truebrit71]

19. Um no, that would be YOU completely missing the point...

...but by all means, don't let me stop you from looking like a fool, again, and again, and again....

[revmclaren]

30. Prism has been flagged for review.

Maybe the Admins ARE watching now. And an awful lot of BSers on DU are complaining that they are not getting onto juries like they used to. And with high percentage numbers. As I said...maybe the Admins ARE watching now.

[sheshe2]

13. Yep.

[bettyellen]

17. would you look at the bullshit excuses for this?

Step 1- pretend their is a totally different context- yeah, Jon Stewart did it! That's the ticket. Thud.

[JonLeibowitz]

22. Not sure if you can see the posts, but there is a lot of faux outrage directed your way.

Pretty sad attempt at misdirection, quite honestly.

[seabeyond]

4. Lucy Flores... This I can respect. No excuses. No statement, provoked.

Granted, I didnt read the article, but I admire the woman that much more for what she said in this snippet.

[MoonRiver]

10. The die is (being) cast.

Even true believers see it coming.

[Skwmom]

12. No ONE has proven any vulgar insults. And no voice on a video is not proof.

Amazing how this story is evolving to the usual b.s.

[brooklynite]

16. So Lucy Flores, a candidate for Congress is less informed than you are?

[Skwmom]

23. Was Flores even there? Amazing how her statement DOES NOT provide ANY details of

what people were upset about or what was supposedly done.

[lunamagica]

26. Were you? I mean, I don't know either way, so were you there?

[bettyellen]

18. so a congressional candidate and SBS supporter is lying now? WOW.

[pnwmom]

20. So you don't even believe Lucy Flores? n/t

[Skwmom]

24. Do I trust that a politician is a truth teller? NO. I have seen so many lies this cycle that I

would NEVER assume that.

[pnwmom]

27. Bernie has been a politician for decades. So then there's no reason to trust him. n/t

[Skwmom]

28. Bernie is one of those rare once in a lifetime candidates.

[pnwmom]

29. Dream on. If he accomplished anything as President it would be through compromise

with Rethugs, and then all the Bernie lovers would transform into Bernie haters and call him a sell-out.

[Skwmom]

31. B.S. First of all he wouldn't appoint stupid crooked corporate hacks.

[JaneyVee]

35. Your obsession with dear leader is worrisome.

[alcibiades_mystery]

37. The cult of personality is bananas

Incredible.

[Skwmom]

25. I read her statement. It included NO discussion to explain what the people were upset about.

I am so shocked.

[Bluenorthwest]

34. When your candidate herself chose to make hateful claims of LGBT apathy toward AIDS which were

according to her only overcome by the courageous activism of original AIDS activists Ron and Nancy Reagan, both she and her supporters in life and on DU refused to discuss the matter. 'She tweeted an apology, she made a mistake, why do you keep talking about it, she said she's sorry!!!!!!'

So the people who insulted others should say sorry then we declare it to 'just a mistake' and we move on, like we did when your candidate praised the Republicans whose silence and inaction cost the lives of thousands of Americans.

One side gets to say and do anything, no matter how vile, ignorant or Pro Republican and yet they hold the other side to extreme culpability for the action of anyone claiming to be on that side. Your own candidate shat on the graves of my friends and family. And you all laughed about it.
Do not expect my vote, support nor affections in the future.
