Hillary Clinton pastes Rosa Parks into campaign logo, Twitter users disgusted

[Cheese Sandwich]

Turning Rosa Parks into a cartoon logo for your political campaign? Somewhat tone deaf and disrespectful.




Hillary Clinton's logo accidentally puts Rosa Parks in the back of a bus

It did not go over well on Twitter, where users suggested that Parks is seemingly seated at the back of an H-shaped bus.

Hillary Clinton Put Rosa Parks On Her Campaign Logo And People Aren’t Feeling It

http://www.buzzfeed.com/davidmack/hillary-clinton-put-rosa-parks-on-her-campaign-logo

[retrowire]

1. oh geez hillary wtf nt

[darkangel218]

2. OMG!!!!

Wtf is her campaign staff thinking??!? This is so messed up!!

[randys1]

3. AFrican Americans may be bothered by this, most white people alleged to be

will just use it to attack Hillary.

If African Americans are bothered by this, then that is their call and ONLY their call.

[arcane1]

4. White people aren't allowed to genuinely think it's crass?

That makes no sense.

[randys1]

5. Depends on their motive, their attitude about HIllary.

MANY will just use it along with everything else they come up with to attack her.

[LiberalArkie]

13. I think she needs to have someone in the ad department with a little common

sense maybe. I really don't think they run anything by any one to ask their opinion.

[virtualobserver]

53. so what you are saying is....the Hillary patrol gets to decide which of Team Hillary's errors.....

we are allowed to criticize and which of us are allowed to do that.

[LuvNewcastle]

109. As always, they get to choose what we are

and aren't allowed to criticize, as if they're ever going to see any criticism of Hillary as valid.

[roguevalley]

126. then they can't criticize bernie for anything without a note. right? And if you're

going to slag his age, I don't as an old lady give ANYONE permission. Howz that?

[PatrickforO]

228. "There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust the picture.

We are now in control of the transmission.

We control the horizontal and the vertical.

We can deluge you with a thousands channels, or expand one single image to crystal clarity and beyond.

We can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive.

For the next hour, we will control all that you see and hear."

Gosh, when we went on DU this morning, we didn't realized we'd be taking a trip to...the Outer Limits!

[floriduck]

148. Are you also suggesting that

Black lives matter should only be discussed by African Americans? At least be consistent.

[Number23]

172. "Depends on their motive" NAILED IT

Which is probably why, despite the fact that 80% of this thread is people saying how tasteless this is, how wrong it is, certain ever so special individuals are still leaping like kangaroos DEMANDING that people say what they want to hear and screaming about "double standards" even though people are very clearly, very loudly saying that they think this is wrong.

It's like they're sitting at the edge of their seats going "okay, people don't like this but it's not enough. We need SCREAMING, dammit! This needs to be the biggest, worst thing EVER. And why does this only have 60 recs when it's been here FIVE HOURS!@#??! "

"Depends on their motives." You damn right it does.

[randys1]

231. Look at the OUTRAGE directed at me for saying something that you and I both know is

true, for SOME people.

Personally, I think for a white politician to do this, is beyond ridiculous and absurd and pretentious.

But I can say that and be credible and consistent, for reasons I should not have to explain.

DU is a 24/7 bash Hillary website. That is basically what we have now, so the idea that my comment is out of line is laughable.

[pnwmom]

289. Only if they agree that posting FDR pictures with Bernie is crass. n/t

[arcane1]

293. I didn't realize Bernie posted pictures of himself with FDR n/t

[darkangel218]

7. Why do you say that??

You think white people shouldn't care??? Why, because we are white? Wth are you talking about????

[randys1]

11. You know what I am saying. I am saying Hillary is bashed HUNDREDS OF TIMES A DAY

HERE AT DU

Many here will us ANYTHING including rw memes and lies and sources.

This will just be another in a long list of reasons to bash her...

Whether deserving or not, my ALLEGATION is some who will bash her over this dont give a shit about Rosa Parks...

there, I said it

some, not all
some, not all
some, not all
some, not all

[darkangel218]

15. Doubling down now??You didn't say "some " in your post, did you??

You said MOST!

randys1
3. AFrican Americans may be bothered by this, most white people alleged to be
will just use it to attack Hillary.

If African Americans are bothered by this, then that is their call and ONLY their call.

You should delete that post and stop making assumptions! No one needs your permission or anyone else's permission to find that logo "crass".

[CBGLuthier]

178. You think some people on DU don't give a shit about Rosa Parks?

I would think if you don't give a shit about Rosa Parks you would not be here.

Look, her team fucked up with this logo and anyone who thinks her team fucked up has the right to say so. To call us people who don't give a shit about Rosa Parks, just because we think your candidate sucks is even more fucked up than the logo itself.

[840high]

196. ...^ that

[randys1]

230. I dont just believe it, I know it. Some, not all.

[Logical]

241. So for legit complaints about Hillary you want bernie fans to shut up??? LOL, OK. NT

[AgingAmerican]

258. So is Sanders

Your point?

[JonLeibowitz]

16. Exactly. Good thing this OP mostly sources AAs, so the OP is just reporting what their opinions are.

[ibegurpard]

61. I don't need anyone's permission

To find something to be tacky and classless.

[winter is coming]

79. Or someone. n/t

[delrem]

80. You just KNOW how it would go down on DU if Sanders did this.

I mean you, in particular, since you're DU's self-proclaimed #1 Bernie supporter, so left wing that so-called "progressive" DU'ers can't even scope it.

You just KNOW how it would go down.

I have many friends and acquaintances, some "right wing" on the spectrum, some "left wing", some indifferent, and the one thing that characterizes all is that they're basically honest. When a person isn't honest with you it means they disrespect you, dismiss you as a person - - and aren't to be trusted. At all.

So as a self-proclaimed Bernie supporter you just know it, don't you?

[Proserpina]

227. But you see, Bernie doesn't have to do this

His candidacy stands on HIS record, not trying to suck off someone elses....

[beltanefauve]

129. Sorry,

My African American husband and I are equally disgusted by this. (White female here)

[WillyT]

173. Hey Randy... Many Of Us Recognize The Possibility That We May Be Stuck Voting For Hillary...

Yet... if she and her campaign are this stupid... we get to comment.

[840high]

215. I have a feeling you wouldn't

have much to say if race relations got better in America.

[randys1]

243. I ignore the stalking you do with me, but I do think you should stop stalking me

[Logical]

247. Alert it or quit whining! Wow, you are paranoid! Nt

[randys1]

252. I dont play the alert game...if you only knew how revealing this comment is

[Logical]

255. I dont really understand most of what you say! nt

[sibelian]

225. Bollocks. Bollocks, bollocks, bollocks, bollocks, bollocks, bollocks, BOLLOCKS.

You are talking total garbage, if it's wrong, ANYONE'S ALLOWED TO SAY IT'S WRONG.

Get a fucking grip. What on EARTH are you talking about? When did the capacity for ethical judgement in race issues get divided over race boundaries? Garbage. UTTER, UTTER garbage.

FFS, randy.

[Logical]

240. LOL, so white people should not be outraged if blacks are unhappy? You might...

Of posted the most silly comment i have ever seen!

[randys1]

242. And yet the AfAm community here at DU Agrees with me, how weird is that

[Logical]

246. So next time a cop shoots a black man you just keep your mouth shut! Lol, you are a jewell! Nt

[randys1]

248. Sorry, but I am not a hypocrite on any of these issues. I dont attack Hillary

all day long for months and then jump all over this story like it is the end of the world.

That is not me...so nice try

[Logical]

254. You are seriously comedy relief daily! Nt

[jack_krass]

290. Then let them post and tell us!!!!

What you're (and a small cadre of other white posters) doing here,and upthread, is the *epitome* of whitesplaining.

Do you consider yourself some sort of emmisary to PoC? An "enlightened" white who's mission is to explain feelings of POC us unwashed idiots?

[pnwmom]

267. Who says black people are unhappy? And why is it fine for Bernie to connect

himself with images of MLK but not Hillary with Rosa Parks -- whom she honored with an invitation to the White House?

[AgingAmerican]

251. You aren't the thought police

[randys1]

253. Nor do I attack Hillary dozens of times a day, everyday for months, and then all of a sudden

act like this is the most outrageous thing that has ever happened.

You cant win here, and the reason is I am not the hypocrite .

I am pretty consistent, actually.

[AgingAmerican]

257. You aren't the thought police

[Logical]

256. Let me clarify what RANDYS1 is saying.....

You can agree with the struggle of black americans only if you also want Hillary as president!
If you do not like Hillary you cannot stand up for Black america because you are only doing it to insult Hillary
Carry on!

[Cali_Democrat]

6. To be fair, I doubt Hillary Clinton herself did this

Probably a very foolish staffer.

It is distasteful.

[darkangel218]

9. I checked and its still there.

She (or the staff) needs to remove it asap, its beyond "distasteful".

[Cali_Democrat]

14. I agree it should be removed. nt

[roguevalley]

127. Rosa Parks freed the world when she did what she did and she should

not be part of someone's sale's pitch. It really bothers me that this happened.

[LiberalArkie]

23. No, she wouldn't have any idea about, may not now. I can't think of very many

campaigns that the actual candidate was at fault for the loss. But I can bet that most of the loses go back to someone in an agency somewhere, typing up a news release or coming up with an idea to do this or that, that if just thought about would have seemed crazy.

[bvar22]

260. This guy took responsibility:

He also said:

"I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the Fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign."
---President Harry Truman

QED:2010[/font]

[LiberalArkie]

261. I think Lyndon Johnson was the last one to accept any responsibility for anything.

[bvar22]

263. I agree.

LBJ was the last BIG D Liberal Democrat we have had.
It is frightening to realize that anyone under 55 has never seen or heard a REAL Democratic President. No wonder they are deluded into thinking Hillary is a "Liberal".

[LiberalArkie]

264. I guess to itemize it, it would be Carter the last D and Eisenhower the last R

[Turn CO Blue]

43. Exactly. I'm artsy, I could see how a staffer with background in graphic art...

could get carried away with the visual aspect, colors, line of the design...
and not slow down enough to see how it's not appropriate.

No way Hillary gets that hands-on near this admin/marketing stuff except as a bullet point on a sheet each week.

[bvf]

122. That will be news to nobody.

It's also not news that her campaign is clearly teeming with fools. That hardly excuses her poor judgment; in fact, it draws necessary attention to it.

[merrily]

8. tone. deaf.

[Crystalite]

50. Also tone deaf: "Hardhats for Hillary"

Is it just me?

Blank blank FOR Hillary?

For HER, not for them?

I swear there is a disorder going on with these things, crazy ambition and everything is about her, not about other people in need.

[Live and Learn]

137. Exactly what I was going to say. +1000 nt

[Wilms]

10. Any photoshoppers here?

I'd love to see the ^H turned into the Twin Towers.

[Cali_Democrat]

12. Already been done. Google is your friend. nt

[Wilms]

17. Wow!

[Cali_Democrat]

29. I really don't think it's funny

Only a sick person would turn the Hillary logo into the burning twin towers where thousands of people died.

[Wilms]

34. I really don't think it's funny for ANY politician to invoke 9/11 so cynically.

And I'm OK with the fallout.

[roguevalley]

128. since what 3000 people died and she uses it as an excuse to deflect

attention from of all things WALL STREET ties, then she deserves scorn for it. The hits just keep coming

Some things are above bullshit ... 911, Rosa Parks. That statement about 911 would get Rudy Guiliani a butt load of scorn. Why should she get a pass?

[JaneyVee]

21. Why would you want that?

That's some bizarre thinking.

[Wilms]

62. AND she does it again!

This just in. WTF?!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251864257

Hillary the Hawk does it again: Asked about her Wall Street ties, Clinton again invoked 9/11

“I have stood for a lot of regulation on big banks and on the financial services sector. I also represented New York and represented everybody from the dairy farmers to the fishermen,” Clinton replied, adding, “And did I help rebuild after 9/11? Yes, I did.”

Clinton’s latter response is not as angry and belligerent as her former answer in the debate, but she still resorted to base jingoism to justify her political record and to distract from her close ties to Wall Street — which has made her a multimillionaire.

http://www.salon.com/2015/12/01/hillary_the_hawk_does_it_again_asked_about_her_wall_street_ties_clinton_again_invoked_911/

[darkangel218]

69. Yup, I just read that.

SMH..

[AtomicKitten]

42. oh my

[artislife]

56. ha. brilliant. truly brilliant. nt

[kath]

179. Oooh, good one. Since she LOOOOOOOVES invoking 9/11 so much!

[Hepburn]

18. How M-F'ing disrespectful!

HRC...stoops lower and lower to promote herself.

What's next...Christ sitting on her logo? Would not shock me a bit.

[darkangel218]

20. It's probably her staff who did it,

I hope they take it down soon , its disgusting.

[Hepburn]

30. It is so disrespectful to the memory and legacy of Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks used on a political logo makes me ill. The disrespect is sickening.

[darkangel218]

31. I completely agree.

This is so sad what they're doing

[6chars]

113. Inelegant execution, but wanting to honor Parks?

If the intent was to honor her, I applaud the intent. If the intent was to attract black voters, crass.

[JaneyVee]

19. Twitter thrives on eternal outrage.

Some people would get mad at curing cancer.

[artislife]

58. or disrespecting American icons.

Go figure.

[pnwmom]

268. Why is this different from Bernie's image being connected with MLK's? n/t

[artislife]

279. Tirelessly, we will repeat.

Hillary doing this. Supporters doing that.

I am sure you have read this multiple times already.

[cui bono]

143. Yeah, and Hillary's campaign came sooooo close to curing cancer with this Rosa Parks hybrid logo.

Sooooooooooooooooo close.

How on earth do you even equate the two? Just as bad as using the logo is trying to elevate it to curing cancer status.

I'll spare you the time... yes, you did do that when you complained about people stating their disgust and saying they would even "get made at curing cancer."

[840high]

197. How can you defend this? Shame on you.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

22. wow

who made this?

[darkangel218]

27. It's the logo on her official Twitter page

[IMG][/IMG]

[roguevalley]

130. 4.7 m followers. how many from Iraq

[sleepyvoter]

150. 65% at least.

Myanmar is the winner.

[BlueJazz]

24. I don't want to trash-talk this. Maybe it represents Rosa Parks sitting behind the driver.

Yes, I'm for Bernie but I don't want to jump all over something that might be entirely innocent.

[demwing]

36. You're too kind, if Bernie did this, Team Hillary would spit fireballs

And rightfully so.

Again with Hillary, it's ALL about her.

[cui bono]

146. mmmkay...

[UglyGreed]

25. No class

[Truprogressive85]

26. Omg

Rosa Parks is really sitting at the back of logo which on HRC offical twitter page.

If any other candidate had did

Sorry Hillary you are nothing like Rosa and could never walk in her shoes.

[Hepburn]

32. I am appalled at using this Civil Rights icon for pandering for support in a prez primary race.

It's simply wrong. Very wrong.

[nc4bo]

28. Well, well, well.

I didn't see that coming.

[AtomicKitten]

33. Update. The MLK/Bernie lectures have been canceled because lol.

k&r

[melman]

125. And the people that start those lecture threads are nowhere to be seen

because they are total fucking phonies.

[cui bono]

151. LOL!

[kath]

218. ROFL

[taught_me_patience]

37. Perpetual outrage by twitter followers and Bernie supporters goes hand-in-hand

both seem to be angry all the time.

[demwing]

40. Fuck excuses

This is lame and you know it

[bunnies]

135. If youre not outraged, youre not paying attention. nt

[redstateblues]

155. a campaign fueled by anger

[firebrand80]

38. A Buzzfeed "article"

showing some random Twitter reaction.

I don't have high expectations for GDP, but c'mon people.

[darkangel218]

39. Logo is on her official Twitter page.

Go see it for yourself.

[firebrand80]

44. So. What.

[darkangel218]

45. You brought up Buzzfeed, like it has anything to do with it.

You're shooting the messenger.

[firebrand80]

49. What's the message??

Random People on Internet Say Stuff?

[darkangel218]

51. Oh please , you gotta be kidding me now!

[WillyT]

85. Some Do Not Recognize That Newspapers Are Dying, And TV News Will Follow... "Buzzfeed ???

What's that ???"

Tells you all you need to know.

[roguevalley]

131. Ha

"Perpetual outrage by twitter followers and Bernie supporters goes hand-in-hand
both seem to be angry all the time."

I remember when Bernie had lunch with Killer Mike. I remember that stupid remarks of hillary supporters about it. I guess who know who has the thin skin, the group with fewer supporters.

[bunnies]

132. The message: is that that camp Clinton Turned Parks into a fucking cartoon riding the Harrow.

Yeah. Random "Leading Democratic" candidates FOR PRESIDENT on the internet say stuff.

[delrem]

163. Tomorrow, the claim will be that it never happened.

Hillary Rodham Clinton has the scars to prove it.
She's a fighter to the end.
That's why she'll punch through the glass ceiling and it'll be awesome.

What I like about her the most is that she's the most electable.

That reason alone is delicious.

MAKING NOT ONE IOTA OF DIFFERENCE IN THE PRIMARY.

[firebrand80]

46. I'm still trying to figure out

how someone determines its the "back" of the logo

[jeff47]

87. Well, months ago you guys were busy telling us the arrow pointed forward....

Or is July now "ancient history"?

[firebrand80]

96. That debate was equally stupid nt

[jeff47]

99. Well, are you willing to accept that it's the "back" of the logo then?

Or do you want to rehash that debate?

[firebrand80]

102. Who. Cares.

[jeff47]

111. Well, "front versus back" was kinda an important thing with this woman..... (nt)

[sleepyvoter]

153. One now can interpret that Rosa Parks is going to the right.

based on that current logo. That's what I'm seeing.

[SidDithers]

259. ...

Sid

[CoffeeCat]

154. Or how it's ok for Hillary to be bribed with Wall Street...

...money because...9/11.

The crazy that her fans have to defend. It must be quite a workout.

Apologizing for Hillary Clinton: Better than burpees!

[Laser102]

110. When I saw it I thought it meant moving women forward. Wow. Did not see what others are claiming.

[darkangel218]

48. Do you not find the new logo absurd?

Does it not bother you at all?

[pa28]

47. I think we can all agree that's kinda sick.

Hopefully Hillary didn't approve that herself.

[tularetom]

52. OK, that's pretty cheesy but its far from the most tasteless thing Clinton has ever done

[AtomicKitten]

67. good point

and there is so much more

[Autumn]

54. Someone here said that there is nothing lower than using a "dead icon to millions of

disenfranchised people all over the world to prop up a candidate for office". I wonder what she thinks of this.

[nc4bo]

76. Yes, I do remember that.

It never seems to end, does it?

[Number23]

84. You people are a trip. And I say that in all seriousness

NOTHING is more important than your precious candidate. Not decency. Not honor. Not anything.

And you wonder why so many think so horribly of so many of you. I'd be embarrassed and ashamed as hell to carry on like this over a damn candidate for president.

[Autumn]

93. "I'd be embarrassed and ashamed as hell" to proudly have such a double standard

"over a damn candidate for president". This isn't something my candidate did.

[Number23]

98. I'm actually surprised you're so confused, considering your unending fascination with every single

word that I type, apparently, as well as what goes on in the AA forum.

Please feel free to point out my "double standard." I said that Bernie's poster sucked and am saying the same thing about this logo from Hillary. I said that using dead civil rights icons is wrong as it relates to Sanders and now as it relates to Hillary.

If you're seeing "double" about that, I'm sorry I won't be able to help you any further.

[Autumn]

104. Now your confused, Bernie doesn't have a poster that I know of and if you think

he has one and it sucks it doesn't bother me at all. I hate to tell you this but those words were posted in GDP, a place where I do read.

[Number23]

106. You can somehow remember VERBATIM words that I typed DAYS ago

or can get your hands on them at the drop of a freaking hat, but you somehow missed the Sanders poster with MLK floating over his head?

I'd laugh but I've given you far too much of my time already.

[Autumn]

115. Wrong thread, there is no poster of Bernie in this thread.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251854150
I saw your post when I was reading this thread this evening and had left the window open. Those were your words, you were angry about a politician using an American icon so it was easy to remember. I'm flattered though that you caught my post. But actually it was a black man, Killer Mike who invoked MLK in the link in that OP.
Do have a nice evening.

[Number23]

116. I wouldn't be flattered at all. Not even a little bit

I haven't said one word about Killer Mike and have no idea why you are bringing him up. My comments about MLK and Sanders stem from the idiotic propensity of a small, loud group of Sanders supporters on DU doing the "MLK would Love Bernie" stance over the last week or so.

Your inability to suddenly not understand what I'm saying to you is interesting considering the apparent impact my posts seem to have on you, judging by the number of times you've talked about them. Even days later. But I stand by what I believe which is that using dead civil rights icons to prop up candidates is wrong no matter who does it. And you'll stand by apparently what you believe which is that "anything Sanders does is fabulous and I don't speak English suddenly when someone says anything different." See ya.

[Autumn]

117. I understand what you said. Post #70. Your words. No poster of Bernie. Have a good evening.

[Autumn]

159. Did you see this? The double standard is fucking insane

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251864488

I just consider the source.

[cui bono]

165. I saw that and now I saw the anti-Bernie w/Bernice OPs.

Can't wait til all those 'concerned' folks come express their 'concern' in here!

.

[Number23]

164. I +1 your entire post.

Of course, every word of this post should be about YOU, if no one else on this ENTIRE web site. Which makes all of the wailing about the "lack of integrity" and the "crock of shit" 100% relevant and apt.

[cui bono]

166. Please, elaborate. Show me all of it, I'd like to see it.

Thanks!

.

[cui bono]

160. What are you on about? No one said anything about Sanders.

What have you to say about Hillary's use of Rosa Parks on her logo? And putting her in the "back of the bus" of the logo? Nothing? Just come in here to harass Bernie supporters?

[Number23]

162. As usual, a day late and with nothing to add.

After all the times you've been caught openly lying about the AA posters on this site, you'd think by now you'd pretty much have all of us are ignore or at least have the sense to not engage us.

And yet, here you are. Loud, late and wrong -- AGAIN.

[cui bono]

167. That's quite an accusation. Back it up. Seriously, I'd like to see all of it.

And while you're at it, what am I late and wrong about? Oh, and I'm not the one who yelled in my post. Projection? Maybe you really are angry about this distasteful Hillary misstep and are misdirecting your anger??? Could be.

But anyway, back to your accusation, show me where are these many times that I've been "caught lying" about the AA posters on this site.

.

[Number23]

170. You are coming in here screaming and throwing spittle all over everyone with your DEMANDS that

I "respond" to this "controversy" in a way that meets your approval as if anyone breathing gives the first crock about you OR your demands. When if you'd taken five seconds to read this thread you'd see that I have said already repeatedly that I think that this is in poor taste.

And I have posted about your dishonesty and smears about the black posters here so many times I'm sure half this board can name them by heart. And the last TWO times I did, not only did you not answer but you alerted on my posts. The jurors who voted to not hide your really blatant attempts to stir up crap made sure that the alert results were posted in the threads.

But instead of learning from your loud, many and OFT REPEATED errors, you seem to be determined to keep making them and believe that all you have to do is type "WHAT ARE YOU TALkiNG ABoutt??!!" enough times and that means none of it ever happened.

[cui bono]

202. If you did state your opinion then great, I missed it. Sorry.

Oh, I just saw it. lol. You are talking about the one where you say you don't like it but try to liken it to a poster that Bernie and his campaign didn't have anything do with. Oh my... lol. Really cushioned that one and with something that isn't even a reality. And then you actually complain about "selective outrage". That is so rich. It's almost unbelievable.

As to the rest, more baseless accusations. Stating things with nothing to back it up doesn't make them true. And saying you have posted the same baseless accusations in the past isn't proof, it's just using your other baseless posts as evidence and that makes no sense. Trying to paint me as racist is complete bullshit. I've told you several times to just look up my posts on racism but you won't do that. Wouldn't be fun to find evidence that contradicts your fantasy narrative.

Before when you accused me of things you were shown to have been incorrect. Then instead of apologizing, or at the very least admitting you were wrong, you moved the goalposts, doubled down and hurled another insult. Continuously making false claims and going on and on about it doesn't make them true. You have provided ZERO evidence to back up your claims.

I've posted my opinion about how the AA group is hosted and how it is allowed to be an anti-Bernie smear haven. You don't like my opinion. Well, I'm not the only one who feels that way. It's pretty clear when you see the OPs that were allowed to remain open there.

I've tried to have a reasonable discussion with you in the past and told you I wouldn't respond again if you were going to be an ass, and you continued to be an ass and I kept my word. Same thing applies now.

Go ahead, have the last word because I don't expect anything you say to be conducive to a reasonable discussion. You've been nothing short of nasty to anyone who's ever dared criticize Obama for years now, so I don't expect anything different.

Oh, and again, I'm not the one yelling in my post. So you are merely projecting.

207. SAME CRAP every single day. Fly into a thread to harass people, alert like crazy when they respond

S/he does this crap on the REGULAR. And not even over anything interesting. It's ALWAYS over something idiotic.

I just wish s/he'd leave me the hell alone and I know I'm not alone by any means in that regard.

[Cha]

217. Sorry you got a BOGUS HIDE, 23.. posting results because the alerter's comment was not true..

You asked her to leave you alone.. you weren't implying she's a "racist". WoW!

Alerter's Comments
>
> Okay, I wasn't the one who alerted last time on the other post, but I am alerting this time as this poster is now, again, implying I'm racist. They refuse to show any proof of anything and this is about the 3rd time in this thread they are smearing me. And it has happened before as well. This time there seems to be a concerted effort to paint me as racist and that is not okay.

277. There's an ignore function.

Saves a lot of chest-beating, unless you're into that.

[George II]

223. "Harass Bernie supporters"? Isn't the whole point of the OP and this thread to harass.....

....Hillary Clinton and HER supporters?

[Cheese Sandwich]

233. No, not at all. The point is to have fun and maybe debate somewhat on a political chat board.

Discussion is the point.

[George II]

236. So now the point of criticizing Clinton is to "have fun". Very nice.

[delrem]

169. Us people, we have no decency! No honor! Not anything!

Now look in the mirror, boy; look in the mirror, girl.

Isn't it fine what you see?

[Number23]

171. That's the way to refute everything that I've said! You sure showed that you guys are doing the

OPPOSITE of what I and every other freaking person on the Internet has been saying about your tactics for the last six months! Sanders is sooo lucky to have you all!! And don't worry, everyone that has written countless Kos diaries, articles, blog posts etc. about how ridiculous so many of you are behaving will see the light. And then we'll join you in feeling the Bern! Like, totally!

Now look in the mirror, boy; look in the mirror, girl.

[delrem]

174. I wish I had a dart of FO4 "calmex" to shoot.

There's never been a better target.

[Number23]

175. Sounds like you're awfully familiar with it. Probably not a bad thing. Hopefully your own foot

shouldn't be too difficult to hit.

[delrem]

176. OK, that's better!

I've always benefited with the use of calmex.
I think it's so much better than screaming opprobrium "No decency! No honor! Not anything!" into the void.

I'm glad we can agree on that.

[Number23]

177. No, we agreed that whatever calmex is, hopefully you're coordinated enough to be able to hit

yourself with it. That was pretty much it.

[delrem]

181. And I have no decency! No honor! No anything!

That's an interesting wail.
So wail away, Number23.

Y'know, in FO4, where calmex is king for a time, one of the most uplifting stories is of a kid who hid in a fridge at the atomic apocalypse and turned into a goul, and since gouls don't die of natural causes he set in place for 200 odd years for the lone wanderer to find and liberate, then return to his family who were also now gouls and oh gosh darn. Touching. You should try some of that calmex too.

Then, you could look in the mirror.

[Number23]

183. Hey, if you're looking for me to disagree with your subject heading

You're barking -- LITERALLY, judging by the typos and general batshit nonsensicallness of your post -- up the wrong tree.

[delrem]

184. I'm quoting you, Einstein.

[Number23]

185. LOL! Is that what you were trying to do???

Who knew it was so difficult to "quote" words on a page? Control C and V must have gotten harder today or something.

I wrote: NOTHING is more important than your precious candidate. Not decency. Not honor. Not anything.

You wrote: I have no decency! No honor!

Like I said, if you think I'm going to refute you, not gonna happen. But I will congratulate you on your self-awareness! It's often the only way towards healing and self-improvement.

[delrem]

189. You wailed. You continue to wail.

You have a complaint about some people who have a "precious candidate", and you wail.

And you can't comprehend the words that you're wailing, it tires you so.

I wonder if FO4 has a chem for that? For that kind of deep politics?

[Number23]

190. I'm not tired. I am laughing quite openly at you and your attempts to sound smart.

When you're not hawking chemicals, that is.

And I have no idea why you are keeping this going except perhaps in the (wildly mistaken) belief that by keeping this going, you will, in fact, eventually sound smart.

[delrem]

193. What you lack in substance you make up for in fervor!

In total, I think you're a fine example of the best that "your candidate" has to offer. Regardless of whether you have even a smidgeon of honor, or of decency, in total.

Nice to have met you.

[Number23]

194. And you MOST DEFINITELY represent the Sanders supporter that the entire Internet has come to know

and love 'lo these last six months.

See ya.

[delrem]

195. Yes, on the internet we all make ourselves visible.

In this case I think the spotlight was on you.

But yah, it was on me too. So you got me there.

[Number23]

204. I wish I knew how to make your numerous "goodbyes" stick

That and spelling "ghoul" seem to be two things you have remarkable difficulty with.

[Segami]

139. They're nowhere to be found now.....MIA!

[Autumn]

142. And then there is this

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251864488

Where is the outrage? Such a different reaction from when Bernie met her

[Segami]

157. Two sets of rules of outrage.....

If anyone wants to talk about the controlling theatrics, choreography, misdirection and staging used by the Clinton machine, all they need to do is sit down and examine the methodology used to pacify the mindless at these events........ hopefully, if they wake up, they should be red-hot pissed to go.

[CoffeeCat]

158. Their "messaging" is never heartfelt or authentic...

They're just disseminating the talking points.

Don't worry, given this dust-up, I'm sure they'll be re-equipped (in concert, of course) with some new schtick to counter this inane logo.

They've got a crisis communications team on it!

[MisterP]

168. they always telegraph their intentions

[moobu2]

191. Maybe that's because some Bernie Sanders supporters

have been doing that day and night for weeks on DU. Shamlessly "Using a "dead icon to millions of
disenfranchised people all over the world to prop up a candidate for office" I mean.

[Autumn]

221. .

55. Some asked

for it and now they got it.....Logo-Gate

[WillyT]

57. K & R !!!

[moobu2]

59. She should have used this but the one she used was fine too.

[ibegurpard]

64. No it was not fine

And the picture you just linked is perfectly fine.

[ibegurpard]

60. here's the response that gets this exactly right

"Hillary could speak about it, tweet about it, release a statement. Cross-branding your brand with Rosa Parks is classless."

This was no doubt the brainchild of one of her overpaid bush - league political "strategists." I have no doubt she personally will say nothing about it though and just hope it blows over.

[moobu2]

63. All the Tweets I read were positive.

but I didn't look at the childish #feeltheburn ones.

[ibegurpard]

65. unsurprising

That you would be unable or unwilling to see how tacky and inappropriate it was.

[moobu2]

68. It isn't tacky in the least bit

it's just a bunch of disgruntled Bernie Sanders supporters making a mountain out of absolutely nothing.

[nc4bo]

78. Tacky and childish.

I, personally, do not like it.

Best for it to go away. Think of some other graphic.

[moobu2]

81. I think the objection to it is phony

fake, tacky, childish and stupid. I like the Rosa Parks logo and If Rosa Parks were alive today she would endorse Hillary Clinton.

[nc4bo]

83. Whatev's. nt

[beltanefauve]

133. Did you notice

how many of the tweets came from people of color?

[morningfog]

66. If Bernie did this, which he wouldn't- it's insulting and stupid- hill's peeps

Would be going ape shit.

[moobu2]

70. Hillary is honoring Rosa Parks

wow you people are getting desperate.

[morningfog]

71. She is exploiting Rosa Parks.

No desperation here, I am not connected or affiliated with anyone but myself.

[darkangel218]

72. THIS!!!^^

[moobu2]

74. Right.

lol

[pnwmom]

269. By that definition, Bernie's been exploiting MLK.

[morningfog]

270. Oh god! I did not see Bernie incorporate a cartoon version of MLK into his logo.

Please give me a link to that. I find it hard to believe.

[pnwmom]

271. I've seen Bernie campaign posters with MLK's image. So have you, I'm sure. n/t

[morningfog]

272. Bernie Sanders campaign posters with MLK? I haven't seen any.

Link?

[pnwmom]

274. Here.

[morningfog]

275. You gave a good shot. You tried, but those are not

Official posters made by Sanders campaign.

Let me know if you find anything else.

[ibegurpard]

73. from the linked tweets

"Hillary could speak about it, tweet about it, release a statement. Cross-branding your brand with Rosa Parks is classless." 

Yup.

[moobu2]

75. There are plenty of Tweets supporting her.

All the ones I read were.

[840high]

200. She's pandering and using.

[moobu2]

201. No she wasn't.

It's not like Bernie was slobbering all over Bernice King at all.

[840high]

214. And Clinton wasn't?

[Motown_Johnny]

292. "You People"!!!!!

Maybe you should just self delete.

[Number23]

77. I don't like this. But I dislike the folks who were just fine and dandy with a Sanders poster with

MLK floating over his head screaming about this as if it's so much worse even more.

So fucking sick of the selective outrage.

[nc4bo]

82. There are times when I feel that all candidates are guilty of pandering.

Some more or less than others.

I don't particularly care for the MLK photo either but have no problem with using speech in context.

I figure if there is enough public outrage about a thing, then it should go away and be replaced with something else.

I guess that would be the politically correct thing to do.

I guess.

[Number23]

89. That's because they all DO pander. And it's INCREDIBLY obvious. We know it when we see it

This was a really bad, really tasteless move on Hillary's part but the Sanders poster with MLK floating overhead was in equally poor taste. And it's really clear who sees the AA community and our concerns as genuine or just something to score "points" off. Not that any minority member of this web site would be the slightest bit surprised by those doing so.

The discrepancy between how this type of thing is viewed based SOLELY on who's doing it is the real issue and that's what makes all of the crocodile tears and hollering in this thread so incredibly stupid. Either something is right or its wrong. This isn't about "political correctness" it's either right or wrong. And using deceased civil rights icons to prop up candidates is wrong imo. If others think it's fine for some candidates to do it but not others, it does nothing but show how corrupt and mindless they are. Nothing more.

[nc4bo]

91. It's never going to change be it the Roosevelts, Kennedy, MLK, RP - whomever.

We are in a society that blurs the line between right and wrong to the point where it's all gray.

How often do you see campaigns use a musician's music WITHOUT permission, without paying one dime in royality to that muscian or group?!

It's ALL getting very, very tiresome in this political world of anything goes.

[Number23]

92. Using a musicians' money without permission is a FAR cry from using a deceased civil rights icon

to prop up your candidate. It is tasteless, and it's wrong.

So have I answered you and Autumn's query upthread sufficiently yet?

[nc4bo]

94. Hey - I never asked for an answer 23.

I'm nearly at a point where I just do not care anymore.

For real. There is no more black and white - it is all gray.

[Number23]

100. It's wrong whoever does it. Nothing gray about it to me.

[snpsmom]

123. Yes n/t

[rpannier]

88. That's my feeling as well

If you complained and mocked the use of MLK then you have zero room to say this is nothing
Likewise, if you thought it was a great thing, zero room to complain

As to the back of the bus comments... would they be happier if she were sitting on the arrow tip in the front?

[Number23]

90. Even beyond the look and feel of the logo, it's an incredibly bad idea

Whether Ms. Rosa was at the front or the back, she shouldn't be there at all. Unless of course, her family approved of this. Which I guess could be a possibility.

[Cheese Sandwich]

121. I think there's a difference and this is actually worse

It would be like if Bernie put a cartoon MLK between the B and the E in the Bernie logo.

It's the cartoonish aspect and how they have her sitting inside the H> logo.

Inside it, like Hillary IS the civil rights movement, and Rosa Parks is diminished to a cartoon, instead of being treated as the real leader and radical activist that she truly was. There was a lot more to her activism than just sitting down on a bus one day.

Rosa Parks and MLK are legendary leaders. If a politician sees themselves as a real follower and they want to indicate that in a campaign message, I don't have a problem with that. The Repugs use Reagan like that all the time. Democrats use FDR sometimes.

This clearly wasn't well thought out.

[jfern]

97. That was from some random person on the Internet. This is from her campaign.

[Number23]

101. It sucks whoever the fuck is doing it.

[jfern]

103. Well, Bernie's campaign doesn't have control over the random people on the Internet

Sometimes the random people on the Internet do something dumb like this.
Other times they do something cool like the HOPE poster.

[Number23]

105. They do it because there are idiots who will APPLAUD it. Just like many did here

For every person who said that poster with MLK was wrong, there were just as many if not more going on about how much they "liked it" and found it "appropriate." There's no unringing that bell.

[cui bono]

203. But Sanders and his campaign didn't make the poster. No selective outrage in this case.

And really, the selective outrage is mostly on the Hillary supporter side. BLM for one. Where was the outrage at Hillary's treatment of BLM by those who went on and on and on against Bernie regarding BLM. It was pretty much nonexistent.

[cui bono]

209. Where did I say anything about black people? You keep trying to paint me as a racist but that's bull

and you know it.

I'm talking about Hillary supporters. Where do you even get the idea from what I said that I'm talking about only blacks?

Once again, go ahead and look up my posts talking about white privilege. Look up my posts about Ferguson. You won't do it just as you never did it in the past because it wouldn't ruin the narrative you are trying to create about me. Why it is so important to you to try to smear a random person on DU I just don't understand. You are supposed to have discussions on a discussion board not try to sully the reputations of those with whom you disagree.

[Number23]

210. Because you are in a thread screaming that people weren't mad enough about BLM in a thread that

has NOTHING TO DO WITH BLACK LIVES MATTER. And then want to encourage me to "look at your posts about white privilege." You mean like your posts in this thread? And the 4 gagillion others from you trying to chastise black posters, most of whom are much, much, MUCH smarter/nicer/more pleasant to talk to than you are?

I won't read your posts about ANYTHING and I wish to God in Heaven that you would leave me alone. If the response to or from BLM did not meet your approval, FIND SOMEONE WHO GIVES A SHIT. Hint: That would NOT be me.

[cui bono]

211. That makes no sense. You brought up selective outrage. BLM is a prime example of that.

That's where the discussion led. That's how discussions work.

As you can see - if you weren't blinded by apparent hatred - I brought up Hillary supporters, not black people. YOU are the one who is trying to make my words about black people because you are trying to paint me as racist.

AGAIN... look up my posts about white privilege, about Ferguson. Do it. Then you can stop trying to make me out to be a racist talking about black people when I'm really talking about Hillary supporters.

[Number23]

212. Can someone please come to post #211 and explain to this person that Rosa Parks and Black Lives

Matter are not the same thing?? Please? Somebody? Anybody?

And then this person wants to scream about what an "ally" they are to black people when they are EXCEPTIONALLY well known to just about every AA poster on this board as someone who is hostile to us, and this behavior is EXACTLY why. It would be funny if it wasn't so incredibly dumb.

I am specifically talking about how Sanders supporters lauded a really idiotic poster just last week with MLK on it and somehow, this causes this person to IMMEDIATELY launch into a pre-recorded and incredibly irrelevant spiel about Black Lives Matter. I am beyond embarrassed for this person because it truly does appear that they will never understand that conflating me talking about a poster in a thread about a LOGO has absolutely NOTHING to with them whining about Black Lives Matter and the fact that black people weren't pissed enough at Hillary for them. So if someone could explain to this person what the difference is, that would be great.

I know folks are working over time to make this the biggest deal ever and it still doesn't even have 100 recs so I know that is a big part of the panic.

[cui bono]

213. Who said they were? Your attempts to paint me as racist and now stupid are pathetic.

Follow the discussion. You commented on selective outrage as a comment about Bernie supporters in a way that had no bearing on reality, I brought up an example of it from Hillary supporters.

How that turns into your once again trying to paint me as a racist is beyond me.

[bvf]

278. Keeping track of the number of recs?

Check for updates.

[bravenak]

280. Lol

[bvf]

281. Exactly my point.

[bravenak]

282. I know. That's why it's funny. I love obtuseness.

[bvf]

283. Strictly speaking,

points are points. Vertices (obtuse or otherwise) are a different concept altogether.

[bravenak]

284. And some PEOPLE are obtuse as well.

Check yr Websters.

[bvf]

286. LOL. No kidding.

[Logical]

244. I love the hillary fans thinking hillary is never wrong! Nt

[LiberalAndProud]

86. What good for the gander is good for the goose.

Using John Wayne's likeness in advertising requires the consent of his heirs. Maybe Rosa Parks' descendants should check in with the Hillary campaign.

[Babel_17]

95. lol

That's some echo chamber they're using for feedback.

[brooklynite]

107. ...say the people who've decided Che Guevara would wear a BERNIE t-shirt...

[Cheese Sandwich]

108. Which people are those?

[artislife]

134. Che isn't a beloved important civil rights icon from the USA.

If you can't understand the difference what Che means to America v Rosa Parks, then I don't get it.


But I do get it. You are trying a false equivalency and hoping it sticks.

[brooklynite]

138. If Che! is so unimportant here, why are people using his visage?

[artislife]

186. Read all the adjectives.

Gee...I wonder...

[ibegurpard]

180. Oh I'm sorry..

Has Bernie's CAMPAIGN appropriated Che Guevara ' s image anywhere in their official communications? Got a link for me? Not that it would offend anyone anyway since Che Guevara is not even American and did not play a historic and iconic role in the American civil rights movement.

[artislife]

187. Can you believe he is a transit planner?

Maybe that is why traffic sucks..heh

[Warren DeMontague]

199. yeah-- almost as funny as DU's dorm room dialectical materialists lining up to support a Centrist

because, uh, "the subaltern" or some other such shit.

[cprise]

112. When did Hillary even protest anything??

Oh wait, she bravely protested outside the office of her close friend... Donald Trump.

...during campaign season...

What a cowardly opportunist.

[pnwmom]

120. Hillary's very first job out of Yale Law was working for Marian Edelman

at the Children's Defense fund.

Hillary did more than protest. She threw herself full-time into civil rights work. Every day at work was an act of protest.

http://www.childrensdefense.org/?referrer=https://www.google.com/

[cprise]

216. Again: When did she PROTEST? When was her *ss on the line?

Never.

[pnwmom]

219. What she did was an act of protest. She worked effectively against the system.

With her Yale law degree, with honors, she could have worked at a top corporate law firm in NY and made a ton of money. But she took a job working in civil rights.

Don't pretend that marching in some protest would accomplish more than she did. I marched in a number of protests and I don't feel, in retrospect, that any of them accomplished a lot more than venting some steam.

The bottom line is that she and Bernie both worked for civil rights -- just in different ways.

[bvar22]

262. No. What Rosa Parks did was an act of protest.

What the Hillary Campaign tried to do was co-opt Rosa Parks Act of Valor, and use it as Window Dressing for Hillary.

Disgusting.....AND Tone Deaf.

[pnwmom]

266. Rosa Parks former attorney just introduced her at a gathering of civil rights attorneys

as "the next President of the United states." For which he got a standing ovation.

This was a gathering of the National Bar Association, the largest group of African American lawyers in the nation. If they don't have a problem with Hillary associating herself with Rosa Parks, as she did in her speech to them, then that's good enough for me.

And it is pretty funny, after all the pictures that have been plastered around with Bernie associated with MLK, that a Bernie supporter would criticize Hillary for connecting with Rosa Parks. Hillary invited Rosa Parks to the White House and spent time with her.

Did Bernie ever spend time with MLK? Did he know him personally?

[bunnies]

114. Because 9/11

Wait for it.

[OhDemMom]

118. Rosa

HRC is so insensitive and obtuse, not to mention insincere. Never my vote.

[jalan48]

119. If the Bernie Sander's campaign had done something like this,

it would be further proof that he just doesn't get it when it comes to POC. Bet on it.

[jfern]

124. The double standard is completely ridiculous

[Segami]

141. The swarm would have made sure of that.

[mythology]

136. Somebody really didn't think this through very well

This was a dumb unforced error. They shouldn't have added Rosa Parks to the logo. I get the party as a whole sending out an email about the progress of the Civil Rights era and such, but don't appropriate that into a campaign logo.

[cui bono]

140. "Hillary Clinton's logo accidentally puts Rosa Parks in the back of a bus"

OMFG...



If only the DU poutrage team was nonpartisan, boy would we hear complaining about this humongous misstep.



.

[jfern]

145. True, this would made all their past supposed outrage look like nothing

But it doesn't benefit the Hillary campaign to make this into the biggest deal ever, so her hacks will leave this alone.

[cui bono]

147. Of course they will. Just like they did over her treatment of BLM.

And her ties to private prison. etc... etc... etc...

.

[Cheese Sandwich]

144. Simplest explanation: Hillary can't relate to Black voters without this dehumanizing commoditization

https://twitter.com/Pundit_AcadEMIC/status/671899959898341376

[CoffeeCat]

149. Hillary, you are not Google!

Hillary and her campaign (and every other political campaign) are commodities--products.

This would be similar to Tide bottles or Kraft Mac n Cheese boxes intertwining Rosa Parks with their logos.

This is tacky.

It's also a very thoughtless design, because Rosa looks like she's sitting at the back of the bus. Rosa sat at the front of the bus and refused to move to the back. She never did move to the back of the bus.

Until now.

Christ on a cracker.

[Bernblu]

152. She is reducing Rosa Parks to an ad image to support her brand.

How pathetic is that? Very, very pathetic! If Bernie incorporating an image of MLK or Anne Frank in his logo you'd better belief the Hillary supporters would be all over him.

[WillyT]

161. Kick !!!

[Beacool]

182. It was to honor Rosa Parks on the 60th anniversary of the day that she refused to give up her seat.

Anything to complain.

More importantly:

Mr. Gray, who represented Ms. Parks and Dr. King, received a standing ovation when he called Mrs. Clinton “the next president of the United States.” He talked about the first official planning meeting for the Montgomery bus boycott, a meeting that “took place in the basement of this church” in 1955, and said, “The struggle for equal justice continues.”

How do you like them apples?

192. Honoring Rosa Parks by using a cartoon of her in a campaign logo?

Weird way to honor somebody.

[JustAnotherGen]

222. I thought it was fabulous

[Beacool]

273. Yeah, me too.

Pity that Sanders' supporters only saw it as one more reason to rend their vestments.

The pettiness continues.......

[senz]

188. Hill's just tweaking her brand

hoping people will buy. Maybe she should have focus-grouped this move, though.

[Warren DeMontague]

198. No, no, that's not disgusting.

If Bernie Sanders had done it to his logo, though, HOLY FUCKING SHIT WOULD THAT BE INAPPROPRIATE AND WE MUST DEMAND AN APOLOGY RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!11111111111

[Douglas Carpenter]

220. Hillary supporters are going to be furious with this - look how upset they were about Killer Mike

invoking the legacy of Dr. King. This will have them so upset I'm sure they will not be able to contain themselves.

[sibelian]

224. Hillary supporters: "BERNIE'S TONE DEAF ABOUT RACE! You should listen to black people!"

Lots of black people following HRC and the Rosa Parks logo - "WHAT THE FUCK?"

Hillary supporters - "hmmmm, ha, um, erm, um" innocent whistling.

You guys, you guys. The Universe is playing nasty games with you. What is it trying to tell you, hm?

[Proserpina]

226. Tone deaf and exploitative in the same package

that takes talent. I hope they paid through the nose for such a logo.

[Cheese Sandwich]

229. Maybe you hit on something. They have too much money sloshing around looking for places to be spent

Too many paid graphic designers sitting arund getting paid looking for stuff to do, and that could be one of the reasons they ended up with something like this.

[heaven05]

232. being of Rosa Parks generation

THIS disgusts me, to no end. What obvious pandering, which will stop the minute she is sworn in as POTUS. Guaranteed. All anyone looking for a fair shake will get is lip service. As usual we'll be faced again, with the lessor of two who can't really, or won't really help the disenfranchised of this society. Period.

[Hepburn]

234. ^^^+1,000^^^ N/T

[ismnotwasm]

235. I just googled "Hillary Twitter Rosa Parks"

The first three hits were from Briebart, DailyCaller and National Review Online

Not even a little bit surprised.

Carry on.

[Hepburn]

237. That's not what I got:

In fact, a link to the DU was the first one with text messages showing...right after a picture of that gawd-awful abomination of Rosa Parks sitting in the back of the Hillary bus.

[Babel_17]

238. Google search results are often gamed

https://www.bing.com/search?q=HILLARY+TWITTER+ROSA+PARKS

Also, it's not surprising that if a Democrat humorously flubs there's a leap by their critics to cover it.

[Hepburn]

239. So where is the support for the allegation that the tweets are coming from RW sources?

[Babel_17]

245. I though the issue is the implication that if we give this story any attention ...

I though the issue is the implication that if we give this story any attention, we're emulating right wing news sources. I wasn't aware of this other allegation, though I'm not surprised by it.

[Hepburn]

250. Maybe I misunderstood the post...

...seems to say that RW sites are the sources for the upset over Rosa Parks sitting on the back seat of the Hillary "H" logo.

[ismnotwasm]

249. That's "images"

[pnwmom]

276. I think the woman looks like she's the driver of that vehicle.

[UglyGreed]

265. Of course they would jump on this

blunder. What do you expect??? Just because some on the left feel it was pandering and in bad taste does not make them right wing............

[nsd]

285. Twitter users ...

the moral philosophers of our time.

[Cheese Sandwich]

288. Somehow that is correct

[MrScorpio]

287. I'm not feeling it

Her design team should know better.

[Sunlei]

291. twitter 'ppl' are always 'disgusted' with something or other

[demwing]

294. New Hillary add:"Voting for me should be easy..."

"After all, you're always 'disgusted' with something or other"

[Sunlei]

295. That's right, always picking apart a couple of words. Like Life is a serious 42 word game.

[demwing]

296. your joy

brings me joy
