This should be a slut shaming free zone. And one shouldn't take offense to the word whore, just those who take cash for business opportunities in Libya. Now that is some kind of disgusting whoring if you as me.

It turns out there are a lot of them in my family only on the down low most the time. We had a family event 9 years ago where it was revealed that among us cousins the vast majority were bastards, but our parents pretended to be married in quite elaborate ways.

By insinuating that it was directed at her they are implying that must see her as a corporate sellout, kind of Rorschached. But still not a fan of the word....but what just blew my mind is you can say it on the radio and TV from what I can tell. It does not seem to be a censored word? I will skip placing a link on this one just because it would be rude.

But I also oppose using language that will fracture a candidates message they are supporting. He opened the window to the "media professionals the sell their services for money" to attack Bernie. You see what I did there, same meaning, but with no need for a trigger warning. That's what he should have said. Not sure who will react to this since the HRC camp has already numbed most voters to her stream of attacks, from popegate to waving the Sandy-Hook victims on her flag pole.

What they sell out is democracy. They betray the American people in order to get ahead and make money.

We are right to despise them.

You guys set back the women's movement everytime you play the gender card.

The word "whore" in this context has NOTHING to do with gender. Just as the term "post whore" doesn't either.

Personally, my opposition to her is because she's for-sale to corporate interests...so I don't owe her or any woman an apology for being opposed to Clinton's candidacy and wanting her run out of the Democratic party.

In fact, working towards that result may be both the most progressive and the most humane thing I do most days. Let's be honest, being a trust fund kid doesn't yield many opportunities for human decency.

is in middle management that makes $70K? $80K? $90K? Someone that spends their working life making a good living working for a corporation? Someone that starts a corporation successfully. This shit of broad brushing large numbers of people as evil that one of the candidates practices is a sign of a campaign that is based on bumper sticker slogans. Substance free.
