In reply to the discussion: Attacking Bernie for seeking Conscientious Objector status may be the most laughable smear yet [View all]R B Garr
(17,082 posts)which is to attack posters here. Just like I predicted. And take everything out of context as much as possible for the DRAMA. And Beatles songs now!
The FACT that Bill Clinton fought through the RW draft dodger talking points TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO makes your "concerns" fall flat on their face. I supported Bill Clinton, and so did the majority of people who voted for him. Twenty-five years ago. So much for your petty and fabricated claims that Hillary supporters don't support "draft dodgers". LOL. The results themselves show otherwise.
Yet, Bernie hasn't run for office, so it's his record people are talking about. I've said many times that Bill Clinton paved the way for people like Bernie who didn't tackle those roadblocks back in the day. Many of those blocks were insurmountable. Remember? Its not a conspiracy to recall the REALITY of the roadblocks: family values, military service, etc. There was a time Ronald Reagan was considered a risk as a candidate because of his divorce and Family Values.
I haven't seen many people here complaining about Bernie's CO status except for one and he backed up his reasons. Obviously people have moral objections to Hillary, which you have no problem with, but some will have moral objections to Bernie. That's life.
