which pretty much proves Larry's point. Quoting a Murdoch rag reeks of desperation and helps RWers stir the shit. "Full GOP" indeed.

What Larry Sanders said, the full quote:

“The media have a lot to answer for, I think, you don’t get that detailed discussion. You get: ‘Is Hillary a nice person? Is Bill really such a terrible rapist or is he a nice rapist?’ It’s at that level the discussion—so you can imagine that people could have a pleasant opinion but not based on the actual policies.”

versus The NY Post hatchet job:

“Is Bill really such a terrible rapist — or is he a nice rapist?” Larry Sanders told The Daily Beast

A thanks to Beam Me Up Scottie for the quick in-thread correction earlier.

I know we are passionate about our favorite candidates but can we not stoop to spreading Murdoch's lies?

1. Good points...

however, you might consider removing the references to DU, so that your post won't get locked by the hosts.

Specifically, this:

"...but then an HRC supporter posts it here to smear Sanders..."

and this:

"That misleading NY Post article was the basis for an earlier thread in this forum, was alerted and allowed to stand 3 to 4.

9. I should be surprised that some DUers aren't reading the actual quote.

Sadly, I'm not surprised at all.

Some of them do care about the truth.

6. The Brock/Capehart style hits just aren't working. And people get angry when they see that...

...someone was trying to deceive them, most especially when they find out that the deception was so big as to completely change the meaning of what was said. I know I'm not the only person who doesn't like to be lied to.
