Bernie's speech in Washington Square yesterday

was beyond excellent: it was consciousness raising, mind-expanding, & not a wrong note was struck as over 25,000 people gathered to promote his vision. But let's talk about whores instead, right?

5. Are you implying Bernie called Hilllary a whore again?

Or just a surrogate? Please provide an actual quote to back up your statement. If you can't, we have to assume that it is a lie.

Are you lying Dan? I certainly hope not and look forward to honorably admitting that I'm wrong as soon as you provide an actual quote of that surrogate saying "Hillary is a whore".

Provide a quote of the speaker saying "Hillary is a whore". I don't think you can. In fact, I think you know you can't but want to rely on juvenile fake outrage and have little to slam Bernie on so you rely on stuff like this.

Are you really proud of what you post here? This is the big issue that you want to spend time on?


Corporate whore:

One who has sold more than their labor to the corporation; one who has forsaken personal values and constitution for corporate $$; meaning of "whore" belittled when preceded by the word “corporate”; person who will sell their soul for $$.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=corporate+whore

Basically it does apply to Hillary and many Democrats as well as most if not all Republicans... .


Whore:
1: a woman who engages in sexual acts for money : prostitute; also : a promiscuous or immoral woman
2: a male who engages in sexual acts for money
3: a venal or unscrupulous person


Even #3 is applicable in the situation.

So again Dan, are you lying? I certainly hope you're not. If not, please provide an actual quote from the surrogate saying "Hillary is a whore". Or at least do the honorable thing and admit the lie. If you provide the actual quote of him calling her a whore, then I'll admit I was wrong. Are you able to admit you are wrong?

corporate. It makes a lot of difference. I would also note that while Secretary Clinton's name was mentioned in proximity it was not strictly referring to her. It must be hard when people start talking about corporate whores and the first thing you think of is your candidate.

you aren't alone it seems lots of people's first thought when they heard someone talk about corporate whores was your candidate. I wonder why.

I guess when you have nothing else to moan about that makes a good talking point, right?

8. It was an historic speech, a call to arms so to speak.

I was amazed that he has SO much energy at this point. And he doesn't shy away one little bit from calling it a revolution. I love that about him.

7. Surely every word of it was something negative.

At least the Hillary supporters assure me that he's turned to vicious negative campaigning recently, so it must be true!

16. Sure lets forget about your candidates acceptance of his surrogate

calling his female opponent a whore until a few minutes ago. That's not important right?

And hey lets forget about the struggles of AA people in the south cause they shouldn't count anyway, right?

Lets talk instead about Bernie's pie in the sky BS that hes admitted he has no plans to ever accomplish in that Daily News interview!

Does that about cover it?
