How do you know it was a Democrat that said something? dem4decades Apr 2022 #1

Because the SF Chronicle reported three unnamed Democratic Senators as doing it JohnSJ Apr 2022 #3

Article said it was from staffers/Senators. But the only name dropped was Feinstein's. Budi Apr 2022 #5

Here is the SF Chronicle link, and they said specifically there were three Democratic Senators JohnSJ Apr 2022 #14

Since they were public figures, they should be named. Budi Apr 2022 #16

I agree. Shame on them JohnSJ Apr 2022 #18

Yup. This is their predictable M.O. as an election nears. Budi Apr 2022 #24

Your post sure looks like an attack on Democrats from here. Kingofalldems Apr 2022 #6

Then be my guest JohnSJ Apr 2022 #9

No. It looks like sabotage with a gossip scoop to a sleazy journalist. Budi Apr 2022 #10

the SF Chronicle is hardly 'sleazy', it is the No Cal paper of record and extremely well respected Celerity Apr 2022 #36

why don't the Democrats who spread these rumors reveal themselves? bigtree Apr 2022 #62

The Chronicle is hardly some flaming radical lefty paper. Celerity Apr 2022 #65

it's an old political attack on Feinstein bigtree Apr 2022 #66

I disagree, and you are trying to frame your opinion as the only valid one, whist falsely assigning Celerity Apr 2022 #68

Why do you keep trying to drag in progressives in to this? I never raised that issue. Perhaps Celerity Apr 2022 #72

did you forget the progressive leaning newspaper? bigtree Apr 2022 #73

Your attempts to frame the San Francisco Chronicle as some sort of leftie prog-hugging newspaper Celerity Apr 2022 #74

calling the paper progressive-leaning isn't a 'frame,' not even a criticism, just an observation bigtree Apr 2022 #75

No deflection at all. You have repeatedly tried to falsely assign a lefty prog-loving agenda to the Celerity Apr 2022 #77

Welp. The first one I read and I'm not a member, how odd that is the one with Schumer. Autumn Apr 2022 #43

The Daily Mail is not "like any other newspaper". It is a right-wing rag and a questionable source. lapucelle Apr 2022 #46
