In reply to the discussion: Liberal media turns on Sanders [View all]Cha
(320,410 posts)10. burnie continues making bad decisions.. what do they expect?
I am so grateful that he's showing the world what many of us have known for so long.
He's been getting away with his crap for far too long.. maybe that's why he feels he can continue and no one can touch him?
We'll see about that.
Markos Moulitsas of the Daily Kos, who is a columnist for The Hill, was among the most emphatic critics of the statement, describing it as an utter disgrace and complaining that Sanders gave too much prominence to talking points and not enough to his condemnation of violence, which appeared in the third paragraph of the statement.
I applaud Kos for strongly speaking out Against BS..
Money quote from Sally Kohn..
Reflecting on the events in Nevada and the aftermath, Kohn said there was too much equivocation for her tastes in Sanderss response.
There is always a but But theyre passionate; but its rigged, she said.
Has he done everything he can to truly distance himself from this kind of behavior in the full sense of moral leadership? I dont think he has.
Nice and refreshing to see a big ol dose of reality coming from a former BS fan.
Thank you, working~

As they should. It's one thing to have out of control supporters, but not to denounce them, really?
