[fun n serious]

1. Privilege knows no boundaries nt

[dchill]

2. Is that a slam? And if so...

Who's doing the slamming?

[livetohike]

3. Wow. The stupid in that campaign is widespread, but please

keep talking. Time to throw in something derogatory about all the states and people south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

[geek tragedy]

4. Bernie dissed the South again, today, said it distorted

reality to have the South vote early in the primary.

[livetohike]

10. No wonder he doesn't have any friends. He is

alienating half the country now.

[Fawke Em]

44. I'm a Southerner, born and raised (and still live here) and I agree with him.

We shouldn't go first all the time.

[geek tragedy]

46. you don't go first. Iowa and New Hampshire do, nt

[Fawke Em]

47. As a group, we do.

The "SEC" Super Tuesday primary. First GROUP of states to vote. It's front-loaded.

[JRLeft]

65. I'm black and he did not dismiss us. You have faux outrage I seriously doubt you give a fuck about

people.

[uponit7771]

5. Sanders is winning the same coalition Clinton lost with in 08, these guys are so disconnected

[KittyWampus]

34. You just boiled it down to its essence.

[bigtree]

6. Bernie's elitists can't stop putting their silver feet in their mouths

...what horrible people Sarandon and Robbins turned out to be.

[Bonobo]

8. Some of you people are ridiculous.

Calling them "horrible people". Do you have any sense of how bubble-ized you are, here on DU? Sucking up every DU meme like it is information-rich oxygen?

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. I have covered so far two major candidate party rallies

and neither of them was anywhere close to the bubble these folks believe in.

So at this point, pure entertainment.

[babylonsister]

26. Did you really write that?

Pretty funny. All those elitists?

[KittyWampus]

39. Both Sarandon and Robbins are worth 50 million.

[tabasco]

43. They could almost afford to be at Clinton's fundraiser this weekend,

with that kind of money.

[babylonsister]

63. Thanks. That was my point.

[KittyWampus]

64. Oh, they could afford it. And apparently Sanders taxes prove he could too.

[bigtree]

55. Sarandon and Robbins are worth at least 100 million together

...highly privileged people talking down to the working class.

[Bonobo]

7. Did he follow it up with "White People" like Hillary did?

Because you need to know. GT, that people that don't swim in the DU environment and spend their time posting on these kind of tit-for-tat political discussion boards don't necessarily know the meme that has been put out there that Bernie only appeals to White people -for two reasons.

1) It is a bullshit meme.

2) It is a bullshit meme.

[dsc]

9. He gave to Michelle Bachman

which tells me all I need to know about him.

[seaglass]

33. I know, crazy. And JD Hayworth too. I thought after that he'd stay out of politics. n/t

[bigtree]

56. +100

[TMontoya]

11. Bernie supporters

Really seem like the epitome of so called "trust fund liberals".

[Fawke Em]

49. Really? Where's my money then?

I had to borrow from my overdraft account to keep my mortgage check from bouncing.

I'd like some of that trust fund now, thank you.

[nadinbrzezinski]

57. Since the Clintons have several in Delaware, like for real...

[tralala]

59. Funny how Hillary supporters are by and large old and rich

[Lucinda]

62. LOL

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. This is actually great news for the Clinton campaign.

This is actually great news for the Clinton campaign.

If you don't know why you really shouldn't be posting on a political board or for that matter operating heavy machinery.

[Armstead]

14. Is the people who do the hard work a limited demographic?

coulda fooled me.

[geek tragedy]

18. apparently he thinks the hard working people are

all voting for Bernie.

As opposed to all those demographics voting for Hillary.

What could that mean?

[tralala]

60. Really insulting of Tim Robbins to imply retirees aren't hard-working

[geek tragedy]

61. oh, I never even considered that he was insulting

retirees, I guess that one is good for smearing multiple groups

[Armstead]

13. And what's wrong with the people who do the hard work?

I think most everyone not born with a silver spoon does the hard work.

[geek tragedy]

15. remember Hillary's "hard working white people" comment?

when you start rattling off the Sanders demos and throw in "the people who do the hard work" as a demo . .. pretty dog-whistley.

[Armstead]

19. I do....But I've often heard the phrase "hard working people" in many otehr contexts too

And I suspect if I went to that Google gizmo, I would find a few instances where Clinton referred to hard working people within the last few months too.

And don't forget the mantra used by Bill (and sometimes Obama) of people who "work hard and play by the rules."

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

[geek tragedy]

24. which demographic gets stereotyped for not being hard working?

hint: by same miracle of coincidence, it's the demographic least likely--by far-- to vote for Bernie Sanders.

[beam me up scottie]

25. In this campaign? Millenials and indies, you guys have been calling them moochers for months.

They're only on it for the free stuff, etc.

[Jefferson23]

45. +1. For many months and all the while gobbling up the meme...omg, he's going to raise taxes to send

a rich brat to college! lol

[Bonobo]

27. It was YOUR candidate that said that White people are the hard workers.

Robbins was clearly talking about the class difference between Hillary's votrs and Sanders.

Hillary wins the higher income bracket and Sanders wins the lower ones.

Keep talking and reminding people of who Hillary really is. An elitist who baited black people all during the 2008 campaign with a vile racist campaign.

[nadinbrzezinski]

29. You really need to ask that

Seriously... after railing at millennial kids for being ignorant and only in for free stuff?

[Armstead]

31. I think if there were any racial coding, Spike Lee would have rushed the stage

[geek tragedy]

32. I'm sure he winced.

But he's got self-restraint.

Unlike Nuke Laloosh.

Why do they keep trotting that has-been out there? He's tone deaf and nobody gives a fuck about him?

[Armstead]

35. Spike was on after him and he was feeling the Bern

There's a danger to overthinking things

Sometimes a cigar etc.

[geek tragedy]

40. tone deafness is the best explanation nt

[Bonobo]

20. Yeah and this and that are not the same.

No mention that only white people work hard which is what your candidate said.

[hack89]

17. So Hillary supporters don't also do the hard work? Nt

[onehandle]

16. Millionaire Naderite says something. nt

[KingFlorez]

21. I know he must be crazy

This one is not going to drop. Not even remotely.

[Fawke Em]

52. #FBIPrimary

Why is ANYONE voting for a person under a criminal investigation?

Hell Naw, yourself.

[Sky Masterson]

22. If I could Bern back Time.

..

[beam me up scottie]

28. He was referring to millenials and Indies, what's all the hyperventilating about?

Y'all have been dissing them for months, doing your best to alienate them, referring to them as moochers who just want free stuff.

I must have missed where he said "white people" like your candidate did:

Really reaching there, but I get it, you've got a lot of deflecting to do Since Hillary and Bill keep stepping in it.

[Bonobo]

38. They were remembering Hillary's comment which I will soon post in an OP to remind them. nt

[beam me up scottie]

41. I just added the video to remind them what a dog whistle sounds like.

They seem fuzzy for some reason.

[ecstatic]

48. No need. The lack of diversity among Bernie supporters is well documented.

[beam me up scottie]

50. Ah, now you're flinging red herrings to cover for each other.

How about you stop dismissing minorities who support Bernie, or are they less than equal?

Never mind, there's a hashtag for that:

#Berniemademewhite

[RepubliCON-Watch]

53. Bernie made me white! nt

[grossproffit]

54. But, they had a hashtag!

[ecstatic]

30. Because only white guys are hard working...

[RichVRichV]

36. Nuance.

It's not for everyone.

[Bonobo]

37. He said not ONE word about White people.

The reference is clearly to those who are of the investment class vs. those who are the working class.

[beam me up scottie]

51. Facts are hard, projection is easy.

[Fawke Em]

42. Psst... your hate is showing.

[Bluenorthwest]

58. Good lord, Hillary is the candidate who said 'hard working WHITE people' and she's your candidate

Robbins said no such thing. This OP is massively hypocritical. Massively.
