Let's call this outrage du jour what is is: A dishonest filibuster of the real issues.

[Bonobo]

That's what it is.

A filibuster.

[Buzz Clik]

1. Third thread you've started on this. Having trouble getting traction?

[Bonobo]

5. Actually I just realized what this actually is and sought to discuss my realization. nt

[DanTex]

2. Actually it's an offensive comment made by a speaker that Bernie invited to a rally.

Combined with the spectacle of Bernie fans on the internet actually doubling down on it. It's been quite a show.

[SocialLibFiscalCon]

6. While his choice of words was unfortunate

It doesn't make the statement any less true.

[bkkyosemite]

8. Wasn't the crowd fantastic!

[DanTex]

10. Not really, a lot of them actually cheered. It was pretty ugly. And it's on video.

[Bonobo]

12. Lacking substance means you seize on the minutiae without any feel for the message.

I think that is what you are displaying, Dan. I really do.

See? The honesty thing.

[Bluenorthwest]

21. Here's some video of your candidate:

Where she got all that outlandish bullshit is still a mystery, I assume she spouted it willingly to pander to the hyper conservative Democrats that are her base, her DU boosters seemed to like that comment and most of them claimed it was just a nice thing to say at a funereal. It is definitive of candidate and of her cohort.

[DanTex]

22. If you can't tell the difference between a sexist insult, and Hillary trying to find

something nice to say at a funeral, then I can't help you.

[revbones]

18. But apparently the racist use of "CP Time" in a minstrel show

that Hillary participated in and her staff approved the content of, is A-OK.

[TheCowsCameHome]

19. Aw, let it go.

Or at least grow some thicker skin.

[Dem2]

3. If you post fast and often enough you can take over!

[Bonobo]

7. Not if they sink, no. But if enough people do it on the same issue, then yes, you're right. nt

[Dem2]

9. Awww

[QC]

4. Have you ever seen a campaign so averse to discussing issues?

It's staggering, really, the sort of thing we usually associate with Republicans.

[Impedimentus]

15. Republican Lite = Republican

Let's stop pretending there is a difference.

[QC]

20. Yep. If it quacks like a duck,

and waddles like a duck, and shits everywhere like a duck....

[onehandle]

11. You guys can't let it go. His campaign used it, he apologized. Move on...

...and stop using that word.

[Bonobo]

16. I would like nothing more. nt

[FSogol]

28. I would like nothing more...and here's five more ops on the outrage!

[Bluenorthwest]

27. And yet here is you, onehandle, using that very word in some amusing chit chat....

Star Member onehandle (48,374 posts)- 7. I thought booth babes, not whores. Since they are on display."

This banter takes place in your own OP "Hey look! Young women Really Love The GOP! It's a groundswell! "
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022516751#post3

So it the deal that you get to use that word but other people need to stop or what? Seems pretty hypocritical to me, sort of situational and not really honest.....

[onehandle]

29. Cool story, bro. Since I was only responding to someone else who used that word...

...and reacted to it negatively.

Swing and a miss.

[Bluenorthwest]

30. How is that negative? You did not criticize the use of the word instead you repeated the use of the

word while offering your amusing alternative 'booth babes-because they are on display'. You made banter out of the same word you are today making a giant stink about. When it was used directly to you you simply reflected it back and made a joke with it you did not object to the use of the word, you took part in the use of the word.

Where is your criticism of the use of that word? The word you yourself use in a lighthearted manner. That's just one example that took 10 seconds. Anyone can read that thread and see you playing quip and banter with the word 'whores'. What they will not see is you objecting to that word in your own damn thread. Hypocrisy. Stone cold.

[Bluenorthwest]

32. Since you refused to cop to your hypocrisy, here's a better example:

onehandle (48,378 posts)-
"3. Attention Whore. She was nobody before this. They are trying to highlight that there is one or two GOP women in office. Just like Boehner does with that nameless Rep that is Always standing behind him and Cantor:
And before anyone alerts on me for misogyny, that phrase is equally used for males and females."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021894300


So. Your use of the word 'whore' is the first in the thread and you present the defense of that word that you are aggressively rejecting today. Stone cold hypocrisy.

So what's your excuse for this one? Bear in mind it took 10 seconds to find it and I have another 10 seconds to spare today.....

[onehandle]

33. Boom!

You got me.

I'm as bad as you guys.


Please keep this topic alive as long as possible. Continuing to associate Bernie and the word 'whore' is a winning strategy.

[Bluenorthwest]

34. No, you are a giant hypocrite who criticizes others intensely for doing things you do regularly

When confronted with the fact of your hypocrisy you said 'Cool Story Bro' which is nasty and calls me a liar for speaking the truth. That's not acceptable.
You need to own up to your behavior and apologize to me.
Stone cold hypocrite and not an honest broker.

[Bluenorthwest]

35. It's the culture and the ethics of your candidate that you demonstrate with your hypocrisy

What's really telling is that when called out and indicted well all you do is point fingers at others.

[Impedimentus]

13. With the Clinton campaign anecdotes always trump issues.

“Too often we hold fast to the clichés of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." John F. Kennedy

14. You didn't hear? Bernie himself disavowed that inappropriate crappola

“Dr. Song’s comment was inappropriate and insensitive. There’s no room for language like that in our political discourse,” Sanders tweeted Thursday.

[Impedimentus]

17. Earwax is the enemy of fact

26. but it takes fingers too - waxy fingers are a sure sign of living a fact-free existence.

[BernieforPres2016]

23. Hillary is a corporate whore. She took $10 million from corporations for speeches in 2013.

The people who are more outraged about the label than the behavior are corporate whores too.

[Lizzie Poppet]

25. hit.nail.head

[dchill]

31. The behavior is much more shocking...

than the language. The language isn't the problem, it's a description of the problem. Corporate whore is as corporate whore does.

[Lizzie Poppet]

24. Of course it is. Hillary can't win on her (alleged) merits.

The closer people look, the less likely they are to support her. Hillary is the low-information voter candidate. Anything that distracts people from taking a good, long look at Princess Weathervane...
