(12,689 posts)Once again, it's Sanders own claims that have gotten him into trouble. The biggest mouths always get into the most trouble.

(3,660 posts)If you're going to be exact on the language then be exact. All the claims Hillary didn't say "disqualified" seemed to be centered on that she didn't use the actual word. So tell me the exact words he used that said that.
Also, even if what you said was true and he solicited it, it doesn't diminish the invitation or change the fact that Clinton doesn't have one...
It also doesn't help disprove any of Clinton's moral failings.

(4,246 posts)$$$$ from Wall Street for giving a speech.
He asked for an invite and its good he wants to listen. Who gives a fuck this isn't a secret elitist club hiding in the corners or putting out noise machines so what they say can't be heard by the public.
It's disingenuous to see this in a bad light.

(70,309 posts)Sanders said, this is an invitation from the Vatican, from a pope...Vatican distances from Sander's
visit....the Sanders later drops the 'pope' when he speaks about this.
So, Sanders name drops the pope-the Vatican calls him on his big fish story--and then Sanders drops the word -pope-the next time he speaks. got it!

.............Respect for Pope
Sanders earlier on Friday said, this is an invitation from the Vatican, from a pope that I have enormous respect for in term of the level of consciousness that hes raising on the need to have morality in our economy."
The office of the pope moved quickly to distance the pontiff from Sanderss visit. Father Federico Lombardi, the Popes spokesman, said Sanders had been invited not by the pope but by the pontifical academy of social sciences. Lombardi told the Italian news agency Ansa: For the moment there is no expectation that there will also be a meeting with the pope.
.................
Sanders told reporters in New York on Friday that he is very excited about this invitation from the Vatican to participate in a major conference dealing with how we can inject morality into todays economy..................

(31,532 posts)That is from a 1983 Governors conference hosted by George H. W. Bush at Kennebunkport.
As vice president in 1982, Bush hosted governors at his Maine house, including these from Arkansas and Alabama.
The day Bill Clinton and George HW Bush drank sodas with George Wallace.

(4,883 posts)The Point! is a fable by American songwriter and musician Harry Nilsson about a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, where by law everyone and everything must have a point. There have been at least three adaptations of The Point!: an animated film, an album, and a musical play, each featuring songs written by Nilsson to accompany the story. The album is Nilsson's sixth.
Nilsson said of his inspiration for The Point: "I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, "Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it."[4]

The whole purpose of this fake invitation thing is to swamp out coverage of something actually serious.
