Get it straight. The thrown money was a symbolic protest of her taking super PAC $$$

It's just like her detractors calling her $hillary.


Of course the marching orders out of Camp Weathervane is to twist it into something sexist. Funny how sexism is the first thing she uses. She's the sexist one.

...I'll match you, though, with a list for Hillary:

- NAFTA
- TPP
- Libya
- Crime Bill (admittedly a turd sandwich of a bill, but comparing Hillary's statements about it vs Bernie's tells the story)
- IWR

I'm sure there's more but 5 works for now.

... stones and has gotten pretty good at it to the point where there's nothing that can be shown to prove his bag of bad is no more light than hers.

So then it's a matter of effectiveness to me.... I've not seen that from Sanders, there are few examples of him leading any kind of revolution.

If he had some examples I don't think Clinton would have ran

It's interesting how many of the posters in this thread claiming 'those others' are crass and biased have blazing hot transparency pages full of invective and name calling and outlandish extreme verbiage.

Everyone should read it.

The TV is covering it the way it was meant and of course are not linking it to the other non-story of somebody elsewhere said "corporate whore" to describe politicians (oh, the humanity!). One thing TV might understand better than the Hillaryverse is pound-for-pound effectiveness of media price. $1K, mostly recovered, generates loads of media with clear messaging. Clooney ends up as spokesperson for admitting money in politics is obscene.

almost every one of the money crazed brokers who grabbed for them were men. It was great optics. Now if you are saying that women have to be treated different then men because they are women, what does one call that?
