The things Sanders supporters say about other Democrats, including Obama

[kennetha]

So heard last night that they regard Hillary and some members of Congress as Corporate Whores.

And you know, some of his surrogates don't think much about Obama, either.

Maybe on the debate tonight, Sanders will be asked about the company he keeps and the people he chooses to have introduce him.

Here's a sampling of some of their remarks about a certain other prominent democrat.

Harry Belafonte on Obama:

uring the Television Critics Association Press Tour, where he was promoting his upcoming HBO documentary "Sing Your Song," Belafonte told reporters, "Barack Obama and his mission has failed because it has lacked a certain kind of moral courage, a certain kind of moral vision that we are in need of." According to the Wall Street Journal, he later added, "There is still a lot of opportunity for that corner to be turned."

"When he said, 'Yes, we can,' it may have been politically clever," Belafonte continued. "He never defined for us what he said ... So those of us who felt that we needed change filled in that space with our own images of what we thought he meant only to find out we are all disappointed because none of those things have been satisfied."
'HIS MISSION HAS FAILED'

Cornell West on Obama

"A niggerized black person is a black person who is afraid and scared and intimidated when it comes to putting a spotlight on white supremacy and fighting against white supremacy," West explained. "So when many of us said we have to fight against racism, what were we told? 'No, he can't deal with racism because he has other issues, political calculations. He's the president of all America, not just black America.' We know he's president of all America but white supremacy is American as cherry pie."

"The First Black President Has Become The First Niggerized Black President"

Ta-Nehisi Coates on Obama

The irony of President Barack Obama is best captured in his comments on the death of Trayvon Martin, and the ensuing fray. Obama has pitched his presidency as a monument to moderation. He peppers his speeches with nods to ideas originally held by conservatives. He routinely cites Ronald Reagan. He effusively praises the enduring wisdom of the American people, and believes that the height of insight lies in the town square. Despite his sloganeering for change and progress, Obama is a conservative revolutionary, and nowhere is his conservative character revealed more than in the very sphere where he holds singular gravity—race.

Fear of a Black President

So Bernie, do you agree with your supporter, Cornell West, that Obama is .... I can't even say the word and your supporter Dr. Song, that Hillary is a ....?

If not why do you continually have such people introduce you at your rallies?

[TMontoya]

1. Anyone who pals around with Cornel West

Doesn't deserve to be taken seriously.

[kennetha]

2. totally agree

especially anyone who has West introduce him at a rally.

[NurseJackie]

17. Yes. This. Exactly. Thank you!

I can't stand him.

[nc4bo]

3. Read as, the things DEMOCRATS say about democrats. nt

[Jackie Wilson Said]

4. And yet I think Bernie would win in the general in a landslide.

Imagine having a president who does even more for us than Obama did and Obama was an overwhelming success!

[dogman]

5. They're out there killing people right and left.

Oh, sorry, that's the MIC supporting Hillary.

[geek tragedy]

6. respectfully, lay off Ta-Nehisi Coates--he's a treasure nt

7. The things Hillary supporters say just to agitate the metabolic byproducts container.

8. This OP like most of your OP's is you saying stuff about other Democrats.

Now some of the Sanders folks on this board are ready to trash the entire democratic party
See, I was right when I said a couple of weeks ago that Sanders is attempting a hostile takeover of the party.

His true colors are shining through and so are the colors of many of his supporters

Bernie Sanders’s supporters ignore what we learned from Obama
Poor Bernie and his gang. The Media is onto him and his supporters. Can hardly find anybody to say anything nice about him anymore.

Bernie Sanders Is Democrats’ Top Beneficiary of Outside Spending, Like it or Not
The guy is a holier than thou hypocrite!

So you and the high horse are a bad match.

11. lol +1 Good information, thanks.

I have found it telling how many Democrats who not only disagreed
with Obama but did so in print and not with what I would describe
as a measured tone when doing so.

Funny how those are not ever mentioned in these hit OP's.

[CrowCityDem]

9. He did say Obama shoukd have been primaried.

[northernsouthern]

10. Really?

So do you think all black people should never say anything bad about Obama? Are they not allowed to? I know plenty of black people that had an issue on how timid he was on many things. I know many times I heard many black people frustrated by the lack of a voice they were getting from a black president. And now you want a white man to tell his black supporters to toe the line?

As for Cornell, you know what he says is not tied by normal rules of the English language. But I have no right what to tell a outspoken well known person like him on word usage.

[B Calm]

12. Trashing Thread, just more never ending mud slinging.

[Politicalboi]

13. At least Bernie wouldn't go behind the presidents back

And keep communication with Blumenthal after being told NOT to do that. Still using her Blackberry after being told NOT to do that. Setting up her own unsecured e-mail server in her basement after being told NOT to do that. Big deal calling Dems corporate whores. And Cornell West is a loon. Bernie should drop him. Hillary is going to taint Obama's legacy. Words are words, her actions were dangerous.

[Jefferson23]

14. Ridiculous OP. -10.

16. Why don't you consider what HILLARY HERSELF said about Obama?

Indicating that he was unqualified in 2008, comparing McCain favorably to Obama?
