I can't believe anyone is defending HRC's "nobody likes him" attack on Bernie. [View all] DanTex Feb 2020 OP

The horse is dead. You can stop beating it now. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #1

Obviously not, because people are still trying to justify it all over the internet. DanTex Feb 2020 #2

Then stop feeding the argument. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #3

You mean, like replying to this OP? DanTex Feb 2020 #4

I'm not feeding the argument. I'm trying to get it to starve. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #5

Rebutting the argument. And successfully so. ehrnst Feb 2020 #136

Cause and effect just ain't your thing, is it? LanternWaste Feb 2020 #152

"I agree, just say that was a mistake, and forget it." ehrnst Feb 2020 #151

Hillary should just apologize for attackin Bernie as Tlaib apologized to her & we could all move on! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #156

Clearly, obviously, this is exactly what should happen. DanTex Feb 2020 #160

It's so obvious, but I don't think Hillary WILL apologize to Bernie. It's a shame though... InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #163

When Bernie apologizes to HRC, then there will be party unity. ehrnst Feb 2020 #164

Hillary DID make a mistake & should apologize to Bernie... I know he'd graciously accept if she did. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #159

Is that, like, "not the Onion"? DanTex Feb 2020 #12

The NYT has issues but they are right here Gothmog Feb 2020 #15

I'm sure the quote was accurate. Just the content is self-contradictory. DanTex Feb 2020 #17

Not if you want to defeat Trump Gothmog Feb 2020 #20

You forgot the "from the Sanders campaign" part of the quote. lapucelle Feb 2020 #35

I don't think it makes much sense, either, DanTex. Scotch-Irish Feb 2020 #47

"Market odds" That's your source for political analysis? ehrnst Feb 2020 #135

Really? I figured a pro-free-market capitalist would be all about prediction markets. DanTex Feb 2020 #138

So, that's a yes, a gaming site is you source for political analysis. ehrnst Feb 2020 #154

LOL. If you think that's gambling, you should check out a Wall St trading floor. DanTex Feb 2020 #157

Of course not. For the same reason that I don't support childlike insults at Bernie. DanTex Feb 2020 #21

I can't believe you are stirring this shit again. What is this, your 5th post like this? Squinch Feb 2020 #19

Sanders apologists can't handle any criticism about Bernie calguy Feb 2020 #51

on the contrary - criticism is high octane fuel for Sanders floppyboo Feb 2020 #60

Yes, keep telling yourself that.... ehrnst Feb 2020 #174

One thing in her defense loyalsister Feb 2020 #22

That's fair. One problem with that is that a reporter read that back to her a week ago DanTex Feb 2020 #24

wow loyalsister Feb 2020 #30

Yeah. This is the part that raised eyebrows. DanTex Feb 2020 #37

"A sensationalist project like a documentary is the exact model of infotainment lapucelle Feb 2020 #90

meant to say that documentary loyalsister Feb 2020 #107

HRC's remarks were made during an interview last year as part of a documentary lapucelle Feb 2020 #25

And then last week in an interview she defended those statements. DanTex Feb 2020 #26

She re-affirmed her honest and informed opinion. lapucelle Feb 2020 #29

Why is it not a mistake that Sirota and Nina showblue22 Feb 2020 #46

Yes, that was a mistake. Even worse, actually, because that was during the GE. DanTex Feb 2020 #49

Exactly! showblue22 Feb 2020 #50

Umm, how does that make what Hillary said a good thing? DanTex Feb 2020 #53

Right now we're in a primary. showblue22 Feb 2020 #59

So I guess you're cool with the Michael Moore statements too. DanTex Feb 2020 #62

It is what it is. showblue22 Feb 2020 #70

The difference is, Michael Moore isn't running for public office TexasBushwhacker Feb 2020 #89

It was no mistake. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #73

By mistake I mean "bad judgement." Like the Hillary attack. DanTex Feb 2020 #76

HRC didn't attack anyone. N/T lapucelle Feb 2020 #82

BIG MISTAKE! Politicians should avoid divisive comments that upset large groups of potential voters! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #167

If someone's right, why should they say they were wrong? ehrnst Feb 2020 #169

The producers and film makers involved with that documentary are displicably using Trumpism loyalsister Feb 2020 #110

What does that even mean? "Documentaries are evil because Trump"? lapucelle Feb 2020 #114

Exploitive timing is the thing loyalsister Feb 2020 #115

The Sundance Film Festival takes place at the same time every year, lapucelle Feb 2020 #116

The fact that it inspired a Jerry Springer worthy controversy in the middle of a primary loyalsister Feb 2020 #119

So the theory is that late January was chosen as the festival date in 1978 lapucelle Feb 2020 #124

in the context of what she was talking about, i think she meant other lawmakers. Kurt V. Feb 2020 #27

She's a private citizen Dem4Life1102 Feb 2020 #102

She's not just a "private citizen" and you know it. Cuthbert Allgood Feb 2020 #104

Yup, you got me. Cuthbert Allgood Feb 2020 #131

The key word being former Dem4Life1102 Feb 2020 #132

Amazing how many people expect her to just SHUT UP and disappear isn't it? ehrnst Feb 2020 #137

So you agree that this statement isn't just some "private citizen"? Cuthbert Allgood Feb 2020 #139

She's famous and accomplished, and admired private citizen, and not an elected/public official. ehrnst Feb 2020 #142

She can saw whatever she wants. I can also not like it. Cuthbert Allgood Feb 2020 #172

Glad you agree that telling her to 'shut up and go away' is really rather rude and sexist. ehrnst Feb 2020 #173

Bernie knows he's hard to get along with at work: betsuni Feb 2020 #36

Exactly what Sanders did? So HRC has done 39 campaign events for Bernie? DanTex Feb 2020 #87

Misdirect argument. Zolorp Feb 2020 #92

The misdirect is that Hillary isn't even running. DanTex Feb 2020 #98

She was asked a question. She answered honestly. Zolorp Feb 2020 #113

Well, Bernie wasn't a candidate when she said this, so there's that. ehrnst Feb 2020 #175

Well, one needs to win a primary to have a GE campaign. ehrnst Feb 2020 #150
