79. I haven't seen the video you are talking about, but the one's I've seen I find offensive.

Not sure what to say. They guy calls gay men the "f-word" and at the same time is a strong advocate for things like gay marriage. The contradictory nature of him and the offensive language is probably what some people like about him. I mean, would it be better for him to use all the right language but oppose gay marriage? Maybe it would, after all that's what Obama was in 2008.

But the bottom line is, Bernie receiving the endorsement is not the same as Bernie validating everything the guy said. If every politician were held to that absurd standard, then the whole field would get wiped out pretty quick, and we might as well just hand the thing over to Trump.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Yes... talking about "shooting a woman in the C...t" is so mainstream in comedy, isn't it? ehrnst Jan 2020 #81

Jeez, I'm just saying I haven't seen that one video. I've seen comedians say some pretty wrong stuff DanTex Jan 2020 #86

Jeez, OK... it's wrong...,. but look over THERE!!!!...Furious diversion and rationalizing... ehrnst Jan 2020 #87

I said it's wrong. And I said I didn't see that other video, which is true, I haven't. DanTex Jan 2020 #90

"That other video" the one in the OP above? ehrnst Jan 2020 #91

The one in the OP about Hillary I've seen. The one joking about shooting women I haven't. DanTex Jan 2020 #92

No, the standard is embracing the support. Bernie shunned Skrelli's support and $$$. ehrnst Jan 2020 #84

Was the person endorsing a wannabe president? Was that wannabe leader of the free world, CIC of emmaverybo Jan 2020 #101
