Jul 2015

it is on top and everything else is below in comments. Way to hide behind a computer screen. I guess it's one way to run a campaign, but it wasn't successful in 2008 and I don't think the voters in 2016 are going to be any more thrilled with that approach.

At least Bernie and Martin showed up.

Hillary takes Q & A on Facebook. RE: #BlackLivesMatter [View all] JaneyVee Jul 2015 OP

Sounds like she gets it pretty well, actually. MineralMan Jul 2015 #1

Sounds like she can pander pretty well... MellowDem Jul 2015 #16

Some people hear dog whistles all the time because they think like mutts. Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #71

And some will attack Clinton no matter what she says. Evergreen Emerald Jul 2015 #93

Does Clinton eat puppies? Does Sanders drink kitten blood? Just asking. They are always "just asking". Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #96

Sanders does not? MellowDem Jul 2015 #111

You can't heckle a facebook post. nt TBF Jul 2015 #50

Have you seen Facebook? Of course you can. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #54

You can't drown out the initial post - TBF Jul 2015 #58

You can set it up to approve comments. Her team has Exilednight Jul 2015 #72

Sounds like she had time to focus group a decent response. PowerToThePeople Jul 2015 #84

^^not that I blame her, frankly, she'd be nuts not to, but yes nt HFRN Jul 2015 #86

But there was still no content in the response PowerToThePeople Jul 2015 #87

cant decide if it was 'tastes great' or 'less filling' nt HFRN Jul 2015 #88

That carries no weight with me at this point in time. How brave of her. LOL Snotcicles Jul 2015 #2

Enjoy: JaneyVee Jul 2015 #14

Thats not from Netroots Nation this past Saturday. So no thanks. nt Snotcicles Jul 2015 #19

Come on, buddy, us liberals are supposed to be open-minded. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #24

According to the attacks on Sanders and O'Malley, before NN doesn't count. (nt) jeff47 Jul 2015 #27

I don't have a problem with the Message. Never did disagree with those points. nt Snotcicles Jul 2015 #33

It shows that she had the right idea before this weekend. Too bad you're blocking that out. George II Jul 2015 #48

Hillary talked to the Confernence of Mayors-June 20th in San Francisco.. she Cha Jul 2015 #113

Let's remember a few things here: askew Jul 2015 #3

She waited WEEKS to speak out about Ferguson. kath Jul 2015 #13

And Sanders was in 1991. jeff47 Jul 2015 #18

Great. I support both candidates. We're on each others team JaneyVee Jul 2015 #21

Plenty of time to don protective gear seveneyes Jul 2015 #12

Are you calling protesters "biological attacks"? JaneyVee Jul 2015 #17

Are you saying humans are not biological? seveneyes Jul 2015 #22

Odd framing. How would you apply it to 60s Civil Rights protesters? JaneyVee Jul 2015 #26

I wouldn't. Twitter didn't exist in the 60's seveneyes Jul 2015 #29

I agree. Raine1967 Jul 2015 #25

You mean the same bill BERNIE voted YES on? JaneyVee Jul 2015 #30

Not sure what you mean by this. Raine1967 Jul 2015 #40

Well done by Hillary. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #5

But being a grandma is great! And sometimes she has bad hair days. arcane1 Jul 2015 #6

Thank you Hillary! MoonRiver Jul 2015 #8

Hard to shout someone down with that much distance seveneyes Jul 2015 #9

I like the way she pushes the false meme Vattel Jul 2015 #15

Gotta feed the meme before people look at actual records. (nt) jeff47 Jul 2015 #20

That's all she has, really. arcane1 Jul 2015 #23

Gotta be honest whatchamacallit Jul 2015 #28

He chose to cancel events as a response. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #32

They chose to be assholes to him before the meeting. arcane1 Jul 2015 #39

Yet you're gonna fault Hillary... JaneyVee Jul 2015 #42

When did I fault Hillary for not showing up? arcane1 Jul 2015 #43

Crickets... ybbor Jul 2015 #51

Nice fake meme. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #36

Oh sweet irony nt Lordquinton Jul 2015 #49

I'm not the one lying. Or did you respond to the wrong post. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #53

Speculation = lying beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #70

The whole "Sanders has a problem with race" Lordquinton Jul 2015 #73

After having two days to think about it. arcane1 Jul 2015 #37

See how easy it is! progressoid Jul 2015 #41

Then maybe Bernie would like to post something similar since indeed it is so easy to say "racial inequality is Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #74

"30 years as a Senator"? arcane1 Jul 2015 #78

Racial inequality or economic inequality, which is it that a President can do the more about? Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #80

Just from his tweets... progressoid Jul 2015 #90

No offence, and to be completely fair and to be completely consistent I do not think much of tweeting policy. Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #95

I tried to find something comparable to Facebook. n/t progressoid Jul 2015 #100

Where has Sanders ever said that racial inequality is just about economic inequality? Vattel Jul 2015 #104

Exactly. Where has he drawn the clear distinction? Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #106

why draw an obvious distinction. Vattel Jul 2015 #107

Republicans? Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #108

Really? What republican said that? Vattel Jul 2015 #109

It's easy when you get to pick and choose the questions you want to answer. Exilednight Jul 2015 #47

She& her pollsters have had days to create that message. Pretty sure it was typed and ready peacebird Jul 2015 #52

Since you're "pretty sure" of it, I'm sure you can provide links? JaneyVee Jul 2015 #55

Silly rabbit! I am "pretty sure" clearly means it is my opinion. But you knew that. peacebird Jul 2015 #57

So you're just spreading a meme? JaneyVee Jul 2015 #59

Posting my opinion on an opinion board - Shocking! peacebird Jul 2015 #60

More irony. beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #76

^^that^^ onecaliberal Jul 2015 #56

Whereas Bernie has had only a couple of decades in the Senate to think about it, true. Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #81

These questions are a lot easier when you get 48 hours to prepare while watching geek tragedy Jul 2015 #61

It's hard to imagine protestors aren't going to target Hillary at some point. KittyWampus Jul 2015 #64

they will, eventually she'll have to have an unscripted moment geek tragedy Jul 2015 #66

Time will tell, I think the establishment and those in power are getting a pass though. TheKentuckian Jul 2015 #82

I would love to see that. 840high Jul 2015 #67

+1 (though she and her handlers will try to avoid it come hell and high water). demmiblue Jul 2015 #75

Then Sanders has had plenty of time to clarify? Maybe if he had another public event scheduled? Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #83

Also, I am sure she has a person or people employed for no other reason gollygee Jul 2015 #97

She couldn't even be bothered to show up and you think this is admirable? beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #68

IKR, and it goes with the view of her being a political weathervane. KittyWampus Jul 2015 #77

What a joke. onecaliberal Jul 2015 #101

typed like a true champion juxtaposed Jul 2015 #102

Excellent response. To be fair though she had a while to compose it. hollowdweller Jul 2015 #105

Is this supposed to be a comparison to Sanders being confronted by BLM? cui bono Jul 2015 #112
