Hillary and her fans have NO Grounds to attack Bernie on his comments re the south

[berni_mccoy]

When Hillary's campaign used Robocalls to suppress the black vote there in 2008.

Mic. Dropped.

1. The 2008 campaign has no bearing on the 2016 campaign.

It's the 2000 campaign that bears the most resemblance:

2. IOKIYAHRC. That seems to be the attitude among her supporters.

7. BOOM!

3. That's not the only thing she's done to the black community...

Well said. I remember the nasty campaign she waged against Obama in 2008.......especially Bill Clinton's comments in South Carolina......

5. When one attempts a "mic drop" on their own comment......

When in reality it was just the toy mic they use in the mirror rolling off their computer desk breaking their big toe.

10. Just curious: Aren't all mic drops on one's own comments?

Someone holds the mic, talks into it, then drops it.

Grabbing the mic out of the hand of someone else who is talking dropping to the floor has a whole different meaning.


I totally get, though, why the mic drop was the only part of the OP you wanted to comment on.

12. I was trying to be lighthearted. Nothing more.

And no, one does not normally claim the meme on their own comments. The term "mic drop" has become a meme, not a literal dropping of the mic.

If they literally dropped the mic on this..... Ohhh my.

13. Lighthearted and snarky mean are not the same things, something to consider.

15. Thank you. I appreciate the thought.

I just don't see my comment as being mean. I understand you do. Best wishes.

[merrily]

16. Ah, the insults of the OP in you Reply 5 were lighthearted insults.

That makes all the difference.

6. It's not even that. They assumed his comments were racist when all he was saying was

The Deep South is a conservative part of the country that usually votes red. Which is absolutely positively true. It had nothing to do about the color of the people skin who live in the deep South.

9. ^^^ this ^^^

But this does not fit into all their ginned up "ism" outrage.

[merrily]

11. While true, this does not allow them much of a feeding frenzy, so it must be twisted.

[Onlooker]

8. You're right. Bernie is just as bad as Hillary. n/t

[Adrahil]

14. So let's get this straight.

Two wrongs make a right? Am I getting that right?

And to be clear, I was not a Hillary supporter in 2008.
