WORSE if you ask me. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2015 #100

Yeah, because she spent the whole time hiding. John Poet Oct 2015 #13

yes....quite hypocritical. And they painted us all as racists in the process. ALBliberal Oct 2015 #66

Yep-- and every person who tries to excuse that comment only proves it. Marr Oct 2015 #68

the current claim is that Sanders is a macho with a Devil's Joystick MisterP Oct 2015 #6

She totally fumbled that meeting Hydra Oct 2015 #7

Completely agree with this post dreamnightwind Oct 2015 #27

The double standard is appalling... And it was very difficult seeing it all unfold ALBliberal Oct 2015 #67

LOL it's really out of context huh? Care to explain in what context that comment isn't racist? Cheese Sandwich Oct 2015 #23

This has been discussed all the times you have posted it before. betsuni Oct 2015 #25

100% agree dreamnightwind Oct 2015 #32

Yes exactly. Cheese Sandwich Oct 2015 #38

Discussed, but not defended. nt artislife Oct 2015 #29

Whoa. Looks like we hit a sore spot! senz Oct 2015 #17

HRC is making a rhetorical point, and she guy she's talking to understood it as such Yorktown Oct 2015 #18

Thanks for defending it. You don't see a problem with it. OK Cheese Sandwich Oct 2015 #24

It was a threat. If not, could you explain to us the "rhetorical point" mhatrw Oct 2015 #110

Yes, I can Yorktown Oct 2015 #125

If we are worried only about beating Republicans, Clinton would sadly mhatrw Oct 2015 #126

HRC did not 'promise' to talk only to white people Yorktown Oct 2015 #127

FTR, I do think that Hillary was throwing a bit of shade in this specific instance. BUT... Chitown Kev Oct 2015 #19

If Hillary were a Sanders supporter who said those exact same words in DU's AA forum, mhatrw Oct 2015 #115

Because having your previous post on this exact same subject locked wasn't enough? mythology Oct 2015 #20

Thank you Cheese Sandwich Oct 2015 #30
