So lets get this straight...Hillary and Bill made some questionable 'racist' comments in 2008 [View all] Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 OP

No one thinks Bernie is a racist. bravenak Jul 2015 #1

I disagree.....he has been singled out #bernisoblack... Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #2

You could easily start #HillaryBeBlacker Agschmid Jul 2015 #4

I think #hillarySoWhite would be funnier Cheese Sandwich Jul 2015 #27

Point is, no one has. merrily Jul 2015 #52

Again you could... Agschmid Jul 2015 #54

Again, that is not the point. merrily Jul 2015 #56

Meh... Unfortunately that's not the issue at hand. Agschmid Jul 2015 #74

Berniesoblack is about his supporters schooling black folks on civil rights. bravenak Jul 2015 #12

I get that, I read the vox article, but a couple of points Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #16

Bombarding non supporters is counterproductive at this point. bravenak Jul 2015 #20

Again....why were Bernie and O'Malley targeted? Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #24

If Hillary were there she would have got hers. bravenak Jul 2015 #25

I may be wrong, but didn't Sanders have a meeting scheduled with BLM for the same day.... Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #28

It was supposed to be after the event. bravenak Jul 2015 #30

I want a churro Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #33

Lol! Thanks. I love churros. bravenak Jul 2015 #36

But she wasn't there. Maybe Bernie left and sent an aide because 2 events in Texas the next merrily Jul 2015 #58

Possibly. But he still needs to go himself. Some felt like he thought he was too good. bravenak Jul 2015 #60

You are saying he should have done something no human I know of could have managed. merrily Jul 2015 #64

Man. It is how the primaries roll. bravenak Jul 2015 #65

Yes, you HAVE to make your voice heard, both individually and as a people. If you merrily Jul 2015 #68

Even though Clinton had an Arkansas engagement that SAME night she was criticized... George II Jul 2015 #73

I did not criticize Clinton for not being there, so that has nothing to do with my post. merrily Jul 2015 #81

I want hold on to some things you say and take this step by step because I respect you and like you Luminous Animal Jul 2015 #34

They were supposed to meet up with both candidates afterwards. bravenak Jul 2015 #35

RE: Sandra Bland Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #41

She's black. If she were a missing white girl like Natalie Halloway, there would be bravenak Jul 2015 #44

This message was self-deleted by its author Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #55

I do get it and it's perfectly legitimate. Good night. I'm a fumblethumbs right now anyway. bravenak Jul 2015 #57

And I see that as a HUGE problem. Why target human beings before you ascertain they deserve to be a Luminous Animal Jul 2015 #46

I think this was about elevating black lives to the top of the agenda. We're dying. bravenak Jul 2015 #47

I watched the video and I didn't think Bernie was mad. The media all said he got testy and I didn't merrily Jul 2015 #59

I'm used to getting crazy shit like nigger shouted at me. I would have done much better. bravenak Jul 2015 #61

Yes, you would have. Because you have had experience with it and expect it. My point is he had merrily Jul 2015 #62

Gotta expect it running for president. bravenak Jul 2015 #63

I don't know how many events where Presidential candidates are speaking have been interrupted merrily Jul 2015 #66

Bernie's record is not only be stated to black people, it's being stated to white people too. cui bono Jul 2015 #67

This is the problem. Sigh. I tried. I really tried. bravenak Jul 2015 #70

You ain't never dealt with it. You can be all bout it bout it. I have shit to do. bravenak Jul 2015 #26

seriously, stop. please. TDale313 Jul 2015 #29

Yup. Agschmid Jul 2015 #31

let me put it to you this way Scootaloo Jul 2015 #32

Yep. Juicy_Bellows Jul 2015 #3

I don't think he is either...its just annoying how transparent it seems to me. nt Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #6

I agree, Casper the friendly ghost isnt more transparent. Juicy_Bellows Jul 2015 #9

it even reflects how he campaigns: immediately there was a surge in C-SPAN MisterP Jul 2015 #83

Thanks for providing these links, though Rovian in likeness, it did provide names and information of Thinkingabout Jul 2015 #8

Ok? nt Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #10

I think the links are there if one needs context. Juicy_Bellows Jul 2015 #14

"some people are running with scissors" DUzy! beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #87

None of this has a single thing to do with Bill or Hillary Gman Jul 2015 #37

Its not just about netroots.....its about the attacks from this flank since he announced.nt Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #38

If he were running a decent campaign, Gman Jul 2015 #39

That's an unfair and a disgusting sentiment. Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #40

Rather blunt, yeah but Gman Jul 2015 #42

How does he have control over who turns out for his rallys? Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #43

By early on keep talking about a cross section of issues Gman Jul 2015 #50

No, because no one is actually wondering that, they are just saying "lily white" to swiftboat him. cui bono Jul 2015 #69

You're right. Rove was famous for turning someone's strengths into a weakness.... Spitfire of ATJ Jul 2015 #48

Hillary and Bill went there in 2008. Lunabell Jul 2015 #51

Apparently Obama doesn't think so. George II Jul 2015 #76

And I think that's the problem with trying to use this. Obama wasn't so offended he didn't hire her. stevenleser Jul 2015 #80

So let's get this straight. This is a two-wrongs-make-a-right thread? I mean, if Hilary did... Moonwalk Jul 2015 #53
