Sanders sure wants apologies from lots of folks lately....

Sanders told Charlie Rose he was not responsible for his gun vote and Hillary was not for the Iraq vote.. BUT today he was all over the Sunday shows bringing up Hillary's Iraq vote and linking it to bad judgement (he has dropped the 'not qualified' smear and now is into 'judgement" !!!

Wow -- especially when you consider that Sanders voted for the 1994 crime bill http://clerk.house.gov/evs/1994/roll144.xml

BIG: Bernie Admits Hillary NOT Accountable for Iraq Deaths, Attacking Her Is ‘Tit for Tat’ [View all]
We see it everyday here on Democraicunderground--thread after thread--the calling out of Hillary on the Irag vote and name-calling and holding her personally responsible for Iraq. It is shameful--and so is Sanders for calling it a Iit for tat. Shameful--He is your 'leader" and you follow this foul crap.




BIG: Bernie Admits Hillary NOT Accountable for Iraq Deaths, Attacking Her Is ‘Tit for Tat’

http://bluenationreview.com/bernie-admits-hillary-not-accountable-for-iraq-deaths/



April 9, 2016


One of Bernie’s central contrast points with Hillary is her 2002 AUMF vote, which gave George W. Bush authority to use military force in Iraq. Bernie’s surrogates and supporters have implicitly and explicitly used that vote to blame Hillary for the death and destruction in Iraq. His campaign manager went so far as to blame her for the creation of ISIS. Now comes a critical admission from Bernie that Hillary “doesn’t bear responsibility.”

In an interview with Charlie Rose, Bernie was confronted with his assertion that Hillary “should apologize for Iraq war deaths.”

When asked by Rose if he really blames her, Bernie conceded that he was simply engaging in a “tit for tat” (quite stunning on an issue of such gravity), and said the following:

“Of course she doesn’t bear responsibility… Do I hold her accountable? No.”


It is difficult to overstate the importance of this statement in the context of the 2016 election. Not a day goes by without Hillary’s detractors directly accusing her of being personally responsible for the carnage in Iraq. With this Charlie Rose interview, Bernie has obliterated that insidious and pervasive talking point.

Those who vigorously protested the Iraq invasion (including many of us at BNR), strongly opposed Hillary’s Iraq Resolution vote and the votes of many of her Democratic colleagues, including John Kerry, Joe Biden and Harry Reid. But like Bernie, we know that the decision to go to war was Bush’s alone.

holier-than-thou attitude is really starting to wear. Have you seen this tweet from a few days ago?

The qualified unqualified and the vote comments among other comments.

Always trying to claim the high road while attacking.

Bernie cuts his own hair anyway. I mean, come on, do we really
need all these hair products, treatments, soap...like how many
deodorants? Self-styling is good enough for the proletariat.

who says things like "Some people say" or "I never mention it but". His followers are naive or blinded when they say he isn't a politician. Suckers.

effing hypocrite running for POTUS as a Democrat, but he knows he won't win so he is running as an Independent for his reelection Senate seat.
