SF restaurant owner says Bernie Sanders was 'cranky,' rude to staff

[ehrnst]

118. Let's review:

You posted:

"More or less cranky than Klobuchar, would you say?"

I posted a link in response with a history of people discussing this aspect of Senator Sanders.

You replied:

"So about the same, then."

I asked you to support your statement that they were comparable - "About the same"

You took great umbrage for some reason - confusion?

I don't rightly understand what's transpiring here. I'm not defending Bernie Sanders. I don't support Bernie Sanders. I have never—not once—posted anything on these forums to that effect. I wouldn't support any candidate who has, to my knowledge, been credibly accused of abusing their staff. You posted a link showing Bernie is an asshole to people. And I agreed. I'm not sure why I'm getting raked over the coals for this.

Raked over the coals? That article is "Showing Bernie is an asshole," which apparently you are equating to Klobuchar in a sterling example of whataboutery...



Ane without apparent irony, wrapped up with this:

I look forward to your post dismissing the NYT as a conservative rag, questioning the loyalties Klobuchar's accusers and calling me an idiot for believing their vile lies. I am especially excited to see your calculus proving, conclusively, that hurling solid objects at people is "not nice", but not quite Bernie Sanders-level "grumpy".

:passive-aggressive emoji goes here:

That's a threefer: attacking a straw man, red herring and whataboutery.



I suggest that you look those up on your internets, so you don't get papercuts. I'm disappointed, but not surprised those wouldn't be included in your kindle publication, but then again, what can one really expect for $9.99?
