ha ha ho ho he he BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #41

'HE' didn't do it, elleng Jun 2015 #42

If he doesn't reign them in it's tacit approval. Spitfire of ATJ Jun 2015 #47

O'Malley was not co-chair of the DLC. He was head of the Democratic Governor's FSogol Jun 2015 #7

I think this shows that the O�Malley campaign is taking Bernie seriously. totodeinhere Jun 2015 #10

The O'Malley campaign did not do this; elleng Jun 2015 #15

Then why hasn't O'Malley disavowed PAC's and refused to accept any support from them totodeinhere Jun 2015 #20

Has Sanders disavowed these PACs? Raine1967 Jun 2015 #27

Have any of those PACs run disgusting hit pieces on behalf of Bernie? navarth Jun 2015 #32

He does have support of PACs. That is my point. Raine1967 Jun 2015 #40

Bernie has said that he will not accept support from any PAC's. totodeinhere Jun 2015 #21

That is Sanders choice. Raine1967 Jun 2015 #25

Exactly! Andy823 Jun 2015 #38

Well said JustAnotherGen Jun 2015 #77

Whether any of them accept support or not is irrelevent BumRushDaShow Jun 2015 #28

Its simple aspirant Jun 2015 #31

It's even simpler BumRushDaShow Jun 2015 #37

..and even simpler yet, it would let the people know who he is aspirant Jun 2015 #43

Again BumRushDaShow Jun 2015 #53

So is Martin one of the "nasty" politicians? aspirant Jun 2015 #58

IMHO, ALL politicians are "nasty". nt BumRushDaShow Jun 2015 #60

Thank you for this. eom. Raine1967 Jun 2015 #44

Thanks, Bum. elleng Jun 2015 #70

Are these donations not from PACs? Raine1967 Jun 2015 #29

There at least 3 Bernie super pacs making the rounds now. FSogol Jun 2015 #22

It will change. Raine1967 Jun 2015 #26

Bet On Bernie is one JustAnotherGen Jun 2015 #85

You be sure to remind us when that happens. bvar22 Jun 2015 #64

Sorry for my skepticism. I hope he straightens this up and disavows the attack. rhett o rick Jun 2015 #24

or president JI7 Jun 2015 #36

I don't think O'Malley can do anything about it A Little Weird Jun 2015 #45

WORD BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #51

He wants to be Hillary's VP.....by appearing to Appeal to the Left that Rahm Trashed? KoKo Jun 2015 #68

I think this was supposed to be a response to someone else n/t A Little Weird Jun 2015 #71

The PAC did it in a nasty way JustAnotherGen Jun 2015 #78

No he can't disavow his stance on guns but it should be presented honestly A Little Weird Jun 2015 #79

That's how I feel about O'Malley JustAnotherGen Jun 2015 #80

Bernie can take it. secondvariety Jun 2015 #48

He laughed, which was the right answer BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #52

You are making the assumption that HE is doing it BumRushDaShow Jun 2015 #59

happens all the time like when Edwards and Wes Clark were going at each other JI7 Jun 2015 #61

there are some Sanders supporters who are more anti Hillary than really being about Sanders JI7 Jun 2015 #62

I tend to agree with you Andy823 Jun 2015 #66
