Its ironic on the same day Hillary camp tells Bernie to tone it down they push false story re Jane

[jillan]

Bernie's marriage to Jane has been under attack all day.
People saying that he respects a bird more than his wife.
It was so easy to do, wasn't it, to revert to Trump style politics - bringing up the wife instead of debating policies.

Now the group that pushed that bs story has apologized.

Hopefully we will see apologies from some DUers as well.

In light of what happened today and the nonstop attacks on the marriage of Bernie and Jane, I question which campaign is the one that needs to tone it down.

[beam me up scottie]

1. I wouldn't hold my breath, the same people have been lying about Bernie since he announced.

They have absolutely no integrity.

28. 220, 221 - Whatever it takes!

[beam me up scottie]

29. LOL!

[Trenzalore]

2. Has anyone paid by the Clinton campaign disparaged his marriage? nt.

[jillan]

3. I don't know have they? It's hard to keep track of all the money changing between her superpacs

to other organizations.

I do not have the time to do the research.

[Trenzalore]

6. Is it something being said by supporters

or something pushed from the campaign.

I don't hold Bernie accountable for the 50 posts a day I see from 3 of his supporters on Facebook.

9. You just said they did.

[jeff47]

4. These stories do not appear out of nowhere.

This is exactly what David Brock does.

[cui bono]

23. I'm sure some have... but they haven't admitted to being paid. n/t

[SMC22307]

31. Who does the Hillary campaign retain for digital messaging?

Maybe it's time to start digging through FEC records.

5. What I found so odd about the "tone it down" comment by the Hillary rep on

MSNBC was the statement that Bernie was running a nasty campaign against Hillary. Even the talking heads on that show were laughing at that one! One said "If HE thinks Bernie is running a nasty campaign, just wait to see what Trump does!

7. "they" meaning Clinton campaign? Any proof or are we all supposed to believe birds on a podium

... means HRC is evil?

20. Proof is on DU. now. In high count posts. OK?

Sanders is being said to disrespect his wife.
In prominent posts, by prominent Hillary Clinton supporters, on DU, at this moment.

So pay attention.

[RepubliCON-Watch]

8. I vividly remember the same thing happened in 2008...

The line of attacks and the smears, all reminiscent of an imploding Hillary campaign starting to transpire.

[arcane1]

10. Replace "ironic" with "deliberate" and I'll agree with you 100%

[npk]

11. I'm still waiting for the "Bernie hates children" meme

I am sure it's going to brilliant.

[Hydra]

13. Stay tuned, I'm sure they're working on it!

Probably trying to work in the racist and sexist angle as well before rolling it out.

[npk]

18. Always classic tie in. n/t

[Gwhittey]

19. When we get close to NY

They will be saying how Sanders does not understand the Jewish population targeted at NYC.

[npk]

21. It will be something like "He's just not Jewish enough!" n/t

[Hydra]

22. I want to spit my drink out laughing

...But I know it's going to happen!

[nc4bo]

12. Knocking down those favorables one hog turd at a time.

If hog lagoon politickin were an Olympic event, Sanders would be walking over the pit grabbing the gold while the Hillary campaign would be taking baths in it and calling it a day spa.

They are attacking his integrity. Attempting to bring his campaign down to her campaign's level or shave double digit points from it. Her campaigns numbers are literally terrible awful.

They are not fooling anyone with their bullshit.

Hey HRC campaign....we see you.

[Hydra]

14. The irony level in this primary is so thick you could cut it with a knife

I really feel like we are watching the death of our party as the Establishment gleefully embraces the worst "qualities" of the GOP and claims the ground that party died on.

[RufusTFirefly]

15. It may be ironic, but that's how they roll

The Clinton campaign prides itself in launching attacks that no ethical person would consider waging.

Remember how she praised McCain while insulting Obama back in 2008?
Or how she sent out her henchmen to use dog whistle politics, accusing the future President of "shuck and jive," for example?

It must be liberating to have no shame.

[suffragette]

16. They wanted a two-fer

1) to reduce the support he's receiving from women by using this false meme to plant doubts about his treatment of his wife

2) to take away the joyous moment with Bernie and the bird. For some reason, people's delight in this really sticks in their collective craw.


They misfired, big time. All it's done is demonstrated the viciousness of those who tried to spread this malicious and calculated claptrap.

[RufusTFirefly]

17. And one more

3) They wanted to blunt the momentum from an extraordinary weekend.

[suffragette]

24. Exactly so!

[noiretextatique]

25. Caught that too. More of the misogynist meme, imho eom

[Bluenorthwest]

26. Ironic or typical? Definitive?

nt

[glinda]

27. Attacks on women huh?

[lumberjack_jeff]

30. "Ironic" I don't think that word means what you think it means

Try "dependable"

What's shocking is that they retracted it.
