It is really simple, maybe some do not understand once a candidate announces they receive protection Thinkingabout Jul 2015 #48

Bernie does not have that Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #52

Why the Benghazi and email questions over and over? Thinkingabout Jul 2015 #87

mostly because she avoids the press Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #91

Protection? passiveporcupine Jul 2015 #54

Is it protection from getting "cake" thrown at her? Common people are eating cake these days. L0oniX Jul 2015 #60

You should know there is protection, your answers are not funny. Thinkingabout Jul 2015 #98

Actually they're quite funny LordGlenconner Jul 2015 #169

Thom Hartmann? LOL wyldwolf Jul 2015 #70

What's wrong with Hartmann? Too liberal enough for you? Bellower Jul 2015 #73

nope. But using him as an example of Sanders talking to the press is like... wyldwolf Jul 2015 #75

No, Bernie talks to real people Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #92

screened and Sanders-friendly people wyldwolf Jul 2015 #95

Not always Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #104

staged and/or handpicked. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #129

No, they are not Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #130

yes they are. That is how talk radio works wyldwolf Jul 2015 #131

Not all talk radio does that Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #133

ALL talk radio does that. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #134

Let me be more precise Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #136

All call in shows screen for content wyldwolf Jul 2015 #137

Even if that is true Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #138

It's absolutely true wyldwolf Jul 2015 #139

And not one word on content Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #141

that's what call 'screening' does. Hartmann is just another talk radio host wyldwolf Jul 2015 #142

No Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #143

Yes - from a DUer who couldn't get past Hartmann's screener because of 'content.' wyldwolf Jul 2015 #144

Hartmann himself discussing how his screeners screen content wyldwolf Jul 2015 #145

Just like I said Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #146

Two sources - one Hartmann himself - says he screens for content. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #147

Thanks for confirming what he does Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #148

which contradicts what you said he does. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #149

not really Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #151

Really. Definitely. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #153

It is clear, wyldwolf, that you never listen to Hartmann, or Brunch with Bernie, bvar22 Jul 2015 #168

Did you read the article? The rope allowed "real people" access to her. SunSeeker Jul 2015 #18

'Progressives' aren't interested in silly facts like that. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #19

sure they did, lol Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #24

It didn't protect her from the press. It created space so people could approach her. SunSeeker Jul 2015 #31

I actually think foundly of Hillary but she surrounds herself with ignorant pigs olddots Jul 2015 #12

So Bernie events don't have rope lines? wyldwolf Jul 2015 #13

They do not rope people out Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #15

Rather evasive. I'll ask again. Think before answering. So Bernie events don't have rope lines? wyldwolf Jul 2015 #16

of course they do Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #20

This rope was for the press Beaverhausen Jul 2015 #23

I did and saw the news Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #27

So you are being deliberately obtuse? Beaverhausen Jul 2015 #35

The rope was used to keep the media away so 'the people' had access to her. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #26

!!! zappaman Jul 2015 #32

what do they use it for? wyldwolf Jul 2015 #28

hey duckhunter, what does the Sanders campaign use rope lines for? wyldwolf Jul 2015 #30

not what Hillary uses a rope for Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #38

It was EXACTLY the same thing. You're not reading the article wyldwolf Jul 2015 #39

And what you just posted is not true Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #58

It is exactly true. Are your really saying a 'rope line' isn't a physical rope?? wyldwolf Jul 2015 #69

More likely they Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #72

you keep changing directions. Funny to watch. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #76

However you try to spin it, that did not look good. It was laughable. DamnYankeeInHouston Jul 2015 #40

Here's another article that describes it a bit differently Beaverhausen Jul 2015 #41

the difference is it doesn't inject Republican spin that some DUers are happy to regurgitate. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #43

These people are really making themselves look ridiculous Beaverhausen Jul 2015 #44

Don't worry people are tweeting out the truth which I just retweeted underthematrix Jul 2015 #59

Why didn't they just ask the reporters to give her some space? Flying Squirrel Jul 2015 #125

The rope lines were so that the press would not interfere with her talking to people OKNancy Jul 2015 #50
