117. "Jumped on that remark"

Fri Oct 30, 2015, 02:53 PM

Oct 2015

...only several days later, after staff had time to comb through the transcripts for anything that might work as a wedge.
If it was really offensive, the reaction should have been immediate. For example, I personally had an immediate reaction to the use of the phrase "I know how to stand my ground." It seemed tasteless to me for a candidate to use that phrase after they had all (most of them) affirmed that Black Lives Matter.

That is the same thing Debbie Schultz said when asked why... bvar22 Oct 2015 #78

I wasn't aware she said that. That is jawdropping. snagglepuss Oct 2015 #111

She actually showed up at Republican Fund Raisers! bvar22 Oct 2015 #116

There's been so many so travasties its hard to keep track. snagglepuss Oct 2015 #118

I'm confused about this shouting thing. jalan48 Oct 2015 #37

No... they actually want people to forget that. kenfrequed Oct 2015 #39

So it's not really about 'shouting' at all? jalan48 Oct 2015 #40

The shouting refers to a remark Bernie made about guns. snagglepuss Oct 2015 #112

Simply wow! After Bernie stands up for her on the email issue. jalan48 Oct 2015 #113

"Jumped on that remark" Mike__M Oct 2015 #117

Except at the time she didn't kenfrequed Oct 2015 #44

HRH actually said that? hifiguy Oct 2015 #83

I didn't quote her exactly but I tried not to be too biased with my version. nm rhett o rick Oct 2015 #85

Even if that's merely the gist of it hifiguy Oct 2015 #86

HRC is in a tough spot. She can't be more honest or show more integrity than Sen Sanders rhett o rick Oct 2015 #89

Her "honesty" and "integrity" hifiguy Oct 2015 #90

Exactly. And it should prove to her detriment Utopian Leftist Oct 2015 #99

It hurt her in 2007 and it will again. Her loyality to Goldman-Sachs is rhett o rick Oct 2015 #102

He must be backsliding, he'll be okay. dae Oct 2015 #109

emphasis on so-called "facts" is a phallogocentric assertion of dominance culture MisterP Oct 2015 #47

Facts lack a gender bias. Bubzer Oct 2015 #55

Ahhh... and I fell for it! Well done! Bubzer Oct 2015 #58

too much experience! *sobs* MisterP Oct 2015 #63

Seems like Bill was depriving safe space while being the other gender. DhhD Oct 2015 #104

Bill was depriving safe space while being a 1 percenter. Gender was incidental. Bubzer Oct 2015 #114

I've read similar prose right here on DU. hifiguy Oct 2015 #84

Forget it, Manny. It's DU primary season. n/t sarge43 Oct 2015 #57
