Why should anyone that supports Sanders need to apologize because HRC supporters associate Hillary with that word?

How so? procon Apr 2016 #24

Thanks...I'm on my cell so can't see the big picture. jmg257 Apr 2016 #32

No doubt. LOL ! nt procon Apr 2016 #33

Except he used the plural of the word, so he was not only referring to her. Fawke Em Apr 2016 #66

Anytime someone throws whore at a woman, expect them to perceive it as being called a whore. seabeyond Apr 2016 #11

I am not a woman - but that is the way I perceive it as well DrDan Apr 2016 #13

You really need to let go of this, you're becoming unhinged...n/t monmouth4 Apr 2016 #12

It's sexist to use the word "whore" in a disparaging way. Period. athena Apr 2016 #15

Men can be whores. nt artislife Apr 2016 #17

The stereotype, however, is a woman. athena Apr 2016 #21

Don't pretend their is only one definition to the word. nt artislife Apr 2016 #46

agree 100% - not appropriate with respect to HRC, not appropriate with respect to GOP DrDan Apr 2016 #20

Then in your righteous judgement I suggest TM99 Apr 2016 #87

I sort of doubt I will DrDan Apr 2016 #90

I know you won't. TM99 Apr 2016 #91

It is kind of like the term "rat fucking" artislife Apr 2016 #16

Give it up. No tying yourself into knots to justify it. The whore comment was a huge screw up . . . brush Apr 2016 #34

it sure was - and the timing could not have been worse for Bernie DrDan Apr 2016 #35

Here's what I learned....A lot of people are willing to use semantics to obscure Truth Armstead Apr 2016 #36

diversion-whore - that one escaped me DrDan Apr 2016 #37

Those who are more worked up over the way someone said something than the substance Armstead Apr 2016 #38

no doubt - so if some are offended by its use - not unlike the n-word - DrDan Apr 2016 #41

Because that's the way people talk Armstead Apr 2016 #43

The word corporate whore has been in use a long time, particularly on DU. Arugula Latte Apr 2016 #47

how progressive to refer to someone as a "whore" DrDan Apr 2016 #48

how progressive for supposedly Democratic politicians to get paid off by corporations Arugula Latte Apr 2016 #49

The very definition of corporate whore. ozone_man Apr 2016 #95

Here you go ... Where was your outrage on these threads? Arugula Latte Apr 2016 #51

You're just milking it. Jester Messiah Apr 2016 #53

I am not the one who posted how progressive it was to refer to someone as a "whore" DrDan Apr 2016 #55

You're the one stirring the pot though. Jester Messiah Apr 2016 #57

this pot needs to be stirred - that term has no place in progressive dialog DrDan Apr 2016 #61

And what a coincidence that all this outrage chooses now to surface. Jester Messiah Apr 2016 #62

coincidence? No, it is a reaction to last night's comment. Timing is appropriate. DrDan Apr 2016 #63

It's more progressive to say "corporate whore" than it is to actually be one. arcane1 Apr 2016 #65

Can I describe Donald Trump as a media whore? guillaumeb Apr 2016 #54

as I understand it - as long as it is not used in a sexual context, that term is up for grabs DrDan Apr 2016 #59

I would argue that the word whore is a legitimate political descriptor. guillaumeb Apr 2016 #67

I bet there are a lot of women who disagree with that . . . and rightfully so DrDan Apr 2016 #69

Hillary Clinton laughed when Mayor Deblasio used the term "PC time". guillaumeb Apr 2016 #72

reasonable question - you should start a thread DrDan Apr 2016 #73

Nice try, but there are plenty of male corporate whores in both parties. polichick Apr 2016 #68

I claimed otherwise? DrDan Apr 2016 #70

Yes. By implication you most certainly did. Smarmie Doofus Apr 2016 #78

where did I claim otherwise - DrDan Apr 2016 #79

Did you have a panic attack AgerolanAmerican Apr 2016 #76

I dare you to actually talk to real women that way see what it gets you. Kalidurga Apr 2016 #82

feel free to use that term as much as you like, then DrDan Apr 2016 #83

Why would I use the N word that's your territory? Kalidurga Apr 2016 #85
