People whine when its said he's sexist....then what does this mean

Sanders says there’s ‘earlier butt’ to kick before the GOP’s

CONCORD, N.H. — As he filed Thursday to run in New Hampshire’s Democratic contest for president, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) fielded a colorful question from someone crammed into the secretary of state’s office here: “You ready to kick some Republican butt, Bernie?”

“There’s some earlier butt we have to deal with,” the Vermont senator replied, in a less-than-graceful reference to the Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The remark, which prompted some nervous laughter in a room packed with reporters and supporters, comes as Clinton’s camp has already suggested that Sanders and his team are treating her in a sexist fashion — a notion Sanders has vigorously denied. Thursday’s comment seemed likely to provide additional fodder.

There had been controversy of another sort prior to Sanders’s filing Thursday, with some questioning whether the longest-serving independent in Congress would be eligible to run as a Democrat in the nation’s first primary state.

1. This campaign is becoming unhinged.

[Bread and Circus]

3. here is how hypocritical you are

In a previous thread you said:

Hillary has policy proposals, union endorsements, party endorsements, endorsements from civil rights hero's, and experience putting her foot deep inside Republican assholes. She has stood face to face with foreign governments and excoriated them for human rights abuses and stood up for diplomacy around the globe. She is supremely qualified to be president and lead our country forward 

Then I responded:

what would say if someone inferred a politician was going to put their foot in Hillary Clinton's ass

I know it's it just a figure of speech but it has rape connotations and imagery of dominance by violating the body cavity of another human being. 

The reason I point this out is because it seems the Hillary Clinton supporters are very sensitive to sexist language but don't seem to realize a lot of what they say is not any better and in this case worse. 

Watch (disclaimer = this is just an exercise. I do NOT mean the following): 

I really wanna see Bernie Sanders win and put his foot in Hillary Clinton's asshole! 

... 

Do you see how bad that looks? Would I not be rightfully and totally called out here on DU? 

So why is such language any better using it against Republicans? 

Hint. It's not. Integrity matters. 

====

And here you are, using the "unhinged" meme for saying something less offensive than you said.

You are a typical "four legs good, two legs bad" hack.

And for the record Bernie shouldn't have said what he said.

[JaneyVee]

6. Where did I say this was sexist?

[Bread and Circus]

7. At some point Janey you would do yourself a favor by just saying sorry.

When you are caught in the act just stop and ask for forgiveness.

It is ok we all say stupid things.

[JaneyVee]

10. LOL.

WTF are you talking about? Sorry for what??

[Bread and Circus]

12. You are beyond hope.

[JaneyVee]

23. You just made up an entire fake scenario in your head...

Then demanded I apologize for it, and you're saying I'M beyond hope?

[VanillaRhapsody]

33. Its all they have now.

They have been trying this tact with me all day...they are all unhinged....they were so convinced they were part of a a revolution....a revolution where they get to sit on the couch down in the basement!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

65. You're mean.

EOM

[VanillaRhapsody]

69. Yep I am!

[coyote]

108. Most republicans are.

[Bread and Circus]

37. If you can't admit what you did here and how laughable it is

then yes you are beyond hope.

You are basically caught red handed here.

Your "what me?" defense fools no one.

[JaneyVee]

55. I have no idea WTF you're talking about.

Seriously.

You tried to call me a hypocrite for not calling Bernie a sexist, then you demanded I apologize for it.

You ok?

[Bread and Circus]

63. Perhaps you are "unhinged".

[VanillaRhapsody]

70. Perhaps you are projecting?

[Bread and Circus]

73. I am sorry do I know you? Is there something you would like to add?

[VanillaRhapsody]

101. Is this still an Open Forum?

Or has someone died and left you the boss of us?

[Bread and Circus]

104. Post something thoughtful and worth responding to.

[VanillaRhapsody]

105. I do ...regularly.....it just is not What you want....

[Bread and Circus]

107. I don't mind Hillary stuff as long as it is smart.

[VanillaRhapsody]

109. And this is...

[artislife]

89. It is like a great fog across the landscape

They cannot see through it.

[trumad]

75. You're making up shit...

[Cha]

79. Thank you. And personally attacking JaneyVee.

[trumad]

81. Nice try

[Cha]

82. What do mean? I was thanking you for telling him he was making shit up and that he was personally

attacking her.

Thank you, trumad

[Live and Learn]

50. +1 nt

[artislife]

88. Thank you for keeping track

You provide a service not unlike "those who watch Fox news so we won't have to ".

That is a nice gift and we appreciate it!

[mythology]

94. There is no plausible rape connotation in saying you will put your boot in somebody's ass

It's obvious intentional hyperbole that has no more connection to reality than when I say that I'm starving if I haven't eaten all day when I'm in no actual danger of real starvation.

[cherokeeprogressive]

93. And the more petty Hillary Clinton gets, the worse she looks.

[arcane1]

2. "Kicking butt" is a sexist term now?

It wasn't sexist when referencing republicans, of which one is a woman?

Imagine that.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

49. It's news to me. If it's something you'd say to a man, isn't it sexist NOT to make the same reference to a woman?

Just a thought.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[Scootaloo]

54. All criticism of clinton is sexist, just liek it was in 2008

So is all notation of her record and stated positions.

[frylock]

77. Just mentioning those things that make you a sexist make you a sexist.

[jkbRN]

68. Lmao the Clinton camp is absolutely pathetic

[elehhhhna]

4. Lol really?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. Hillary Clinton is the greatest counter puncher...

Hillary Clinton is the greatest counter puncher since Joe Louis:

Somebody is going to have their butt kicked and it ain't Madame Secretary


BTW, it reminds me of George Herbert Walker Bush who told a bunch of longshoremen after his vice presidential debate with Geraldine Ferraro "he kicked a little ass."

[Bread and Circus]

9. Actually no. That would be Obama. Google who won the 2008 Democratic Primary.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. Hillary had to be restrained because she didn't want to blow up the party.

No such restraint is needed against an interloper.


"Kicking (Hilary's) butt."...The septuagenarian senator needs to check himself.

[BootinUp]

29. you're killin me here lol

loved the joe louis vid.

[stevenleser]

32. Obama didn't win by counter-punching. He won by a strategy of attrition in the caucus states.

He planned to fight for every delegate in the caucus states and Hillary blew her money in the first month hoping for an immediate knockout.

Once she didn't win by knockout it was really over but the flailing. There was no counter-punching involved.

[Bread and Circus]

41. lol what you describe obama doing is nearly the definition of counter punching

Hillary took the first swing, missed, then Obama swung back and won...

That's exactly what you described.

It is as if you set out to prove my point.

[stevenleser]

59. No, its not. There was no counter-punching at all. Thats not what counterpunching means. nt

[Bread and Circus]

62. It means more than one thing and what you described is counterpunching

But there is another kind and that is what I was referring to when I replied to DSB.

Obama is a counter puncher and he is the best. He describes himself as such. Google it ifyou don't believe me.

Here is the address: www.google.com then type Obama counter puncher. Watch some vids. You'll see.

[stevenleser]

67. There was no countering involved. Countering is reactive. The strategy was adopted by Obama before

Clinton's strategy was known.

You're completely wrong about this.

[Bread and Circus]

72. Please proceed Governor...

[BootinUp]

52. He ran one of the best campaigns in history imho

and I was proud of both him and Hillary when it was done.

[Bread and Circus]

64. Obama is the greatest politician since FDR.

[BlueCheese]

8. Unfortunate turn of phrase.

Cringeworthy, but I wouldn't say it was sexist-- note that that's entirely the Washington Post's addition to this.

[Bread and Circus]

11. I agree.

[Historic NY]

16. I got this earlier today on a twitter media feed.....

from 2 other major tv news networks covering this event where he got on the ballot. The reporters there were frankly stunned. I expect you see more. Bernie just keeps on giving the ammo out for commercials.

[Le Taz Hot]

71. Stunned, were they?

The poor dears.

[artislife]

90. And they clutched their pearls!!

[workinclasszero]

15. What a jerk! You are the one getting butt kicked all

over the country Bernie!

Now with you spouting bs and siding with teahaddists it's getting down right embarrassing!

Quit now Bernie, maybe you can salvage your reputation.

Maybe not.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. Do you think he can kick Hillary's butt?

I think that is as likely as Paul Reubens kicking Brock Lesnar's butt...

[workinclasszero]

22. I think Bernie is a drowning man

Flailing around grasping at straws, anything to save his failed campaign

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. I think this is sad.

It's as if he is withering away right before our eyes.

[Historic NY]

86. I'll give him a glass of water.

[reformist2]

17. Um, that's not a sexist comment.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. It's not a sexist comment. It's a silly comment.

It would be like me saying I am going to kick Wladimir Klitschko's butt...

[zappaman]

20. How is that a sexist remark?

Good grief.

[BlueCheese]

28. Doesn't seem to be. WaPo stirring things up.

[ibegurpard]

21. Good. She needs her butt kicked.

A lot.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

27. He has as much chance of kicking her butt as I have of kicking Wladimir Klitschko's butt.

Good. She needs her butt kicked.

A lot.

He has as much chance of kicking her butt as I have of kicking Wladimir Klitschko's butt.

[stevenleser]

36. Well, you could sneak up on him and kick him ON the butt, but then you better run!!!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

53. Why do some people believe Hillary is a push over?

Even her enemies have to know she has iron in her spine.

[BootinUp]

57. They don't really

but its a nice bedtime fairy tale for those that oppose her.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

58. She is totally bad ass...

EOM

[ibegurpard]

80. Too bad she's not on your side eh?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

100. We're kindred spirits

EOM

[MrWendel]

30. If a commitee with a ton of Republicans for 11 hours couldn't....

then it ain't coming from Bernie.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

35. Word

EOM

[workinclasszero]

43. +1000

[wendylaroux]

42. let me at her

I'll kick it,cage fight.

[MineralMan]

24. Krackin? Not a word that's familiar to me.

It's not in any dictionary, either. What does it mean?

[Historic NY]

26. I should correct it, its Kracken.

[MineralMan]

31. I looked that up, too.

It's not a word, either in English. Maybe you mean Kraken, a mythical sea monster. Is that it? If so, then I have to say that I don't think Hillary has any powers over mythical beasts.

[wendylaroux]

44. what about Bill

he's pretty mythical.

[MineralMan]

47. What about him?

What does he have to do with this thread?

[TDale313]

74. The phrase is "release the Kraken"

From Clash of the Titans. Basically been used as slang/an Internet meme for years now for bring out the big guns. Just FYI.

[MineralMan]

102. I'm not up to date on that kind of stuff.

I do know what the Kraken is, though.

[Sheepshank]

40. Butt...krackin

Very clever

[Kalidurga]

39. Good luck

[MoonRiver]

46. He's working hard to get down to single digits

[hootinholler]

48. Gonna beat it like a drum

[Fearless]

60. Ohhh horrors!!? 111!!!

[taught_me_patience]

61. Silly but not sexist

Bernie is withering right before our eyes. I predict O'malley beats Bernie in Iowa.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

66. That might be a bet...Too early to say...

EOM

[DURHAM D]

76. Not sexist but just plain crass, coarse, asinine.

ick factor x10

He is so unappealing.

[Fawke Em]

83. And that nasal-sounding woman who lies constantly is?

[Cha]

98. Kinda like bush sr.. "..kicked a little ass." when his mic was still open after the debate in 1984

debate against Geraldine Ferraro? big tough guys bush sr and Bernie.

[frylock]

78. Pass the smelling salts.

[Fawke Em]

84. Meh - if he doesn't kick it, then it will be kicked in the general.

I say she loses North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, Virginia and possibly Colorado.

[Historic NY]

85. LOL Bernie won't get past Super Tues to find out will he.....

PPP's new North Carolina poll finds Hillary Clinton with her largest lead in the state since May. 61% of Democrats in the state support Clinton to 24% for Bernie Sanders, 5% for Martin O'Malley, and 2% for Lawrence Lessig. A month ago Clinton led 51/23 in a Joe Biden-less field and these numbers suggest that pretty much everyone who's made up their mind since then has gone into her camp.

North Carolina provides more evidence of Clinton's favorability numbers improving over the last month. She's gone up a net 9 points from +34 (63/29) in September to now +43 (67/24). Her lead is pretty steady across the board- she gets 74% with African Americans, 66% with seniors, 65% with liberals, 62% with women, 60% with men, 58% with moderates, and 57% with whites. The group where Sanders come closest is with younger voters, but even there Clinton still has a 50/34 advantage.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/president/

Our exclusive poll also showed Hillary Clinton with a fierce lead, 66 percent to Bernie Sanders' 24 percent, among likely Democratic voters . Our Democratic political analyst, former state Rep. Dick Batchelor, said we would likely see a similar result on primary day.

87. Iron warrior or delicate flower?

Her supporters can't decide.

[artislife]

92. ^^ this nt

[AzDar]

106. Right?

[mhatrw]

95. Get it? Republican candidates have male butts, so you can figuratively kick them.

Hillary Clinton has a female butt, so you can only kick it literally, not figuratively, which somehow makes you sexist because you said "butt" while discussing a female, so you must have meant you want to kick her literal, actual female butt.

And only a sexist would use the same expression for winning a campaign against a male candidate that he uses for winning a campaign against a female candidate.



Was this article written by Beavis and Butthead?

[Splinter Cell]

96. It's time for Hillary to retire.

That is the best thing she could do for the country.

[Cha]

97. It's time for bernie to retire.

see how easy that shite is to type.

[aikoaiko]

99. Do you realize what you just implied about HRC when you said she should release the Kraken?

It's nice when HRC supporters admit it.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

103. Yes
