Since the newspaper won't accede to Sanders' request Weed Man Jan 2018 #2

I don't think this is a tabloid in any sense dsc Jan 2018 #3

It's not. They went after Bernie for the Burlington College issue Weed Man Jan 2018 #5

OMG....they cant ask about the current status of the college, the wood shop and the daughter? BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #11

What could possibly matter about the stepdaughter? Ken Burch Jan 2018 #72

I suppose being such a Bernie fan you may have ignored the Woodshop kerfuffle BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #83

OK...and that is an issue for the voters in Burlington to deal with. Ken Burch Jan 2018 #98

Yet Bernie refuses to clear this up by answering the hard questions. BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #99

You're misreading me. It's not necessarily about including Bernie Ken Burch Jan 2018 #109

Jane O'Meara Sanders was president of Burlington College when it went under. yardwork Jan 2018 #40

She left in 2011 and the College closed in 2016 Hassin Bin Sober Jan 2018 #111

Yeah...... The college closed because of the debt from the land purchase. yardwork Jan 2018 #117

Oh yeah yeah she was President when it went under. But she wasn't. Hassin Bin Sober Jan 2018 #120

That's not what I said. Your approach isn't going to work. yardwork Jan 2018 #122

Did you check the link? If you had you might not be as dismissive and sarcastic. George II Jan 2018 #68

The operative word being "might". Act_of_Reparation Jan 2018 #80

Bernie's brand is that he is not part of the establishment BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #90

Sounds like posthoc mental gymnastics to me. Act_of_Reparation Jan 2018 #91

Really? You thought that a complex consideration? BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #94

No, I thought it was a contrived consideration. Act_of_Reparation Jan 2018 #105

Nope, I'm pretty sure I saw a RWNJ use it on another site. BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #107

I'm fairly confident you didn't. Act_of_Reparation Jan 2018 #126

yes...reinterpret and misinform and make up shit. BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #129

So, you're not visiting RWNJ sites? Act_of_Reparation Jan 2018 #132

You're wrong. Ridiculously and embarrassingly wrong. AtheistCrusader Jan 2018 #138

If you did, it was stolen from here. AtheistCrusader Jan 2018 #128

You said "not from a dem". You're wrong. Not 'could be'. You're just flat-assed wrong. AtheistCrusader Jan 2018 #140

HMMM....such visceral reactions for you two BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #141

Because you Guilt By Association'd us, very subtly, with RWNJ's, which is both a PPR AtheistCrusader Jan 2018 #144

I finally decided to follow the link provided for some VERMIN history BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #146

That's some of the history. It's not the shitpost that incited the whole thing, but it's the AtheistCrusader Jan 2018 #148

"I dont think it was from a Dem" puts you a PPR situation? BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #151

If that was your only post, sure, but you went full on 'RWNJ in the next post. AtheistCrusader Jan 2018 #152

all full circle, with nothing to show for it BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #154

Exactly like your accusation. Nothing to support it. Just an empty smear. Signifying nothing. AtheistCrusader Jan 2018 #156

"smear"? your continued overreaction is laughable BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #157

Wrong. AtheistCrusader Jan 2018 #127

wrong BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #130

Prove it. Act_of_Reparation Jan 2018 #133

You're making a PPR-related accusation. You back up your claim. AtheistCrusader Jan 2018 #139

anyone reading this thread can see I acknowledged that a RWNJ could have borrowed your VERMIN shield BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #142

You wouldn't be the first poster on DU to try and make that image into something that it's not. AtheistCrusader Jan 2018 #145

I didn't use your logo for anything...now you're back to making up shit BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #147

Again, I think you need to re-read my post, because you have completely misunderstood it. AtheistCrusader Jan 2018 #149

It's not a tabloid, Ninsianna Jan 2018 #47

It's the largest newspaper in VT and not a tabloid. n/t pnwmom Jan 2018 #102

Politicians do stuff like that all the time. MineralMan Jan 2018 #6

And a damn good one, as he has shown time and time again. InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2018 #26

Not a good one, just a typical one, as he has shown time and time again. Ninsianna Jan 2018 #48

no. What makes you establishment is if you avoid the issues that would undercut said establishment. JCanete Jan 2018 #60

No, what makes you establishment is to be an old white male in congress for decades. Ninsianna Jan 2018 #71

+++exactly! Brilliant. People like that reporter are finally starting to R B Garr Jan 2018 #75

They've been covering this local story for years now, it's not fawning and they Ninsianna Jan 2018 #76

That's bullshit. There is no politician that doesn't control what they talk about in an interview JCanete Jan 2018 #78

Beautiful THANK you! EffieBlack Jan 2018 #113

Absolutely establishment. A career politician is by definition establishment. R B Garr Jan 2018 #74

"Like him or not he is a career politician and knows the moves" BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #14

Yes, let's throw the most popular politician among Democrats under the bus! Good idea! InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2018 #27

ahhh pressing that popularity line? And yes, truth is difficult to state here without a hide BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #28

Biden was the most popular in the real polls. R B Garr Jan 2018 #30

How is saying he's "establishment" throwing him under the bus? How is that term not true? George II Jan 2018 #39

Complete abuse of the phrase under the bus NCTraveler Jan 2018 #42

He's not a Democrat and he's not the most popular, but why is requiring him Ninsianna Jan 2018 #49

I love that "most popular" moniker that has been assigned to him based on highly flawed..... George II Jan 2018 #59

Guess they need something, to shush any questions anyone might ask. Ninsianna Jan 2018 #67

that's a stupid definition. Sorry to be blunt, but you are suggesting that you cannot rail against JCanete Jan 2018 #61

Talk about rebranding. nt jrthin Jan 2018 #63

So, all that stuff about how he was different was baloney, then? kcr Jan 2018 #17

He is a bit different. NCTraveler Jan 2018 #23

All of that assumes that principled influence is welcome in some of these dealings. It assumes that JCanete Jan 2018 #62

I question the principled aspect. NCTraveler Jan 2018 #66

I just updated my post before your response which may offer more clarity to what I was saying, but JCanete Jan 2018 #69

They've been trying to get an interview with Sanders for almost 3 years. joshcryer Jan 2018 #9

Seriously? A presidential candidate whining about not getting coverage Ninsianna Jan 2018 #50

Sounds like Sanders is pretty popular! n/t leftstreet Jan 2018 #12

I love Bernie and I would have voted and supported him in the GE... louis c Jan 2018 #15

Good post. nt Blue_true Jan 2018 #89

There are many questions Bernie could answer. kstewart33 Jan 2018 #95

Excellent post! EffieBlack Jan 2018 #115

If he doesn't run for President again I have no problem with this Tom Rinaldo Jan 2018 #18

What you say is fine, but remember he had no qualms about talking about non-political issues.. George II Jan 2018 #24

Why am I not surprised? Tipperary Jan 2018 #19

tough interview questions are as elusive as the release of tax returns BoneyardDem Jan 2018 #22

Yes, the hypocrisy is glaring. nt R B Garr Jan 2018 #29

Maybe they wanted to ask about his tax returns. yardwork Jan 2018 #43

The shoe is on the other foot. betsuni Jan 2018 #44

I can't blame him. He works like hell for the people of Vermont and he only wants to discuss issues. Vinca Jan 2018 #45

Sure, this is a nothingburger. But maybe just accept that Hortensis Jan 2018 #46

Perhaps the people of Vermont think that the issues he and his wife were involved Ninsianna Jan 2018 #52

Without rehashing the last primary, it would be nice if we would all refrain from trashing either Vinca Jan 2018 #77

They're not comparable situations. yardwork Jan 2018 #81

Doesn't matter. Bashing Bernie is counterproductive. Vinca Jan 2018 #84

This is the same sentiment as in the article. Don't dare question him or R B Garr Jan 2018 #93

I guarantee that the Republicans will raise these issues. yardwork Jan 2018 #101

I doubt he'll run, but alienating his supporters doesn't make sense. Vinca Jan 2018 #121

This personal identification with politicians is bad for the country. yardwork Jan 2018 #124

What does the primary have to do with anything? Ninsianna Jan 2018 #123
