I wonder what Paul Song's SIL thinks about his "whore" remark?

[obamanut2012]

I mean, Laura Ling publicly thanked both Bill and Hillary Clinton for her release from North Korea, and she and her husband also did this:

On June 3, 2010, Ling gave birth to a girl, naming her Li Jefferson Clayton, in Burbank, California. Laura and her husband decided to name the baby Li, after Laura's sister Lisa, and chose Jefferson since it was President Clinton's middle name.

This whole thing is just appalling to me, you know? The "whore" was used deliberately.

1. More sexist shit from Sanders campaign? I'm shocked. nt

[Her Sister]

2. BS has the worst surrogates ever!!

Would not wish these surrogates on any one!!!

[obamanut2012]

3. It is so tone deaf, too

[Her Sister]

6. and doesn't take them too much to go bananas!

with Hate, disrespect and condescension!
Actually it's good to let them speak: Because they just give it (ALL) away! What they really feel!

[mcar]

4. Horrible that people are defending this

[ismnotwasm]

5. Good question

What's offensive to me, is not so much that the word was used, but the denial of what the intent of its use was. Apparently there are liberals who believe we live in a post sexist, post-racist society. They also believe, apparently in magical plasticity of definitions. Which is in alignment of evidence of other --areas--of magical thinking.

[obamanut2012]

8. Yes, thank you

Exactly!

[spooky3]

15. Well-said, to say nothing of the fact that

The Sanders campaign has presented absolutely NO evidence of quid pro quo involving Clinton.

This one is a 360 degree FAIL.

[Starry Messenger]

17. Oh, I think they agree with the intent.

The fake denial is gaslighting. They are proud they get a chance to let their misogyny freak flag fly.

[obamanut2012]

20. Oh yes, total gaslighting

[IamMab]

7. What about his wife? Lisa Ling is a Clinton supporter!! nt

[obamanut2012]

9. I know!

I give the Ling sisters major props -- they are loyal!

[obamanut2012]

10. I posted an OP about it in GDP

But no one seems interested about Laura Ling's POV!

11. It is beyond appalling. Paul Ling has some more explaining to do.. I would be even more furious

with him if he were my husband.

[obamanut2012]

12. Yeah, agreed

There is definitely implied "guilt by association" re: Lisa and Laura Ling, which isn't fair to them. I've seen some twitter backlash against Laura Ling.

[Cha]

13. Not fair to Laura Ling.. it's all on Paul Song.

[obamanut2012]

14. Oh, I totally agree

[BlueCaliDem]

16. Oh, that's not right! Laura Ling had nothing to do with her BIL's ugly remarks!

I hope those tweeting the backlash against Laura or Lisa will remove those tweets. It's not fair to them to be held accountable over what their BIL and husband says.

18. Dr. Song is inherently dishonest. He took Hillary's comments about Medicare completely out of

context.

Under the makeup of today's Congress there is no way there will be Medicare for all. Maybe at the earliest when the next census comes, but redistricting has made it virtually impossible. Bernie can promise anything he wants, but it does matter whether whether it can realistically happen or not.

I have to wonder if the Los Angeles Radiation Oncology Center, which is part of Vantage Oncology is very happy with the type of publicity Dr. Song is receiving

[HillareeeHillaraah]

19. To be fair he didn't mean Hillary

Was a "corporate Democratic whore".

He meant the OTHER "corporate Democratic whores"



And what's so galling is sure, Bernie will denounce it as inappropriate, and the MSM will report on his contrition while within his rank-and-file supporters they're twisting every way til Tuesday to prove it's true and not offensive.

Hey, win-win, right Bernie?

Personally, this was my peak anti-Bernie moment. Thank all things good in this world that I don't have to ever vote for the guy.

[Lucinda]

21. She was gracious...said people could vote for who they want, but she supports Hillary!

[obamanut2012]

23. Yes!

[fleabiscuit]

22. K&R (Laura Ling)
