Sanders refuses to talk about ISIS, laughs bitterly, and storms off!!!

[Vattel]

And his excuse for not talking about ISIS? He was meeting with AA leaders in Baltimore to discuss issues of concern to them. I mean, he acted like he thinks that issues of concern to AAs actually matter or something. What an idiot.

In 2004 when Dean screamed, he demonstrated that he was unhinged. But you wanna talk about unhinged? The bitterness in Sanders' laugh was, I don't know how to describe it, really weird and inappropriate and very NOT presidential. I mean, who laughs like that? Clinton has such a presidential laugh by comparison.

And to just leave when the event was over. He certainly didn't skip out of the room and so to me that seemed to indicate that he was enraged. Luckily he didn't have a gun--which reminds me: In my next post I will say more about Sanders and his gun fetish. But for now, let me just sign off by saying that Sanders doesn't seem to care about ISIS.

1. What in the world

is wrong with that man?

[Smarmie Doofus]

2. Was it in any way reminiscent of Clinton's trademark "cackle"?

You know... like when she brags about about killing people and starting wars?

3. I don't think I have ever heard a man's laugh described as

as a "cackle" have you?

[Smarmie Doofus]

4. Are we making another sharp right turn into "Poor Hillary as victim of sexism" territory"?

Save it.

Even most of her supporters here are not that dumb.

[VanillaRhapsody]

7. You didn't answer the question

Funny that.....so have you ever heard a man's laugh described as a "cackle"?

[Smarmie Doofus]

12. Only about 76,000 times. Now: you didn't answer MINE.

[VanillaRhapsody]

18. To cackle is not the same as calling her laugh a cackle

and YOU know that.....have you ever heard a mans laugh called HIS cackle

NO you have not! I didnt ask if He cackled....the term YOU searched on.....disingenously I mighr add

so I am calling bullshit.....go ahead and Google THAT!

not a verb....a noun......you understand grammar right?

[UglyGreed]

19. but to prove your

point you need 76,010!!!!!

[Bread and Circus]

25. Haha :)

[mcar]

9. I haven't

[VanillaRhapsody]

20. thank you.....they think they are smart....because they can google it as a verrb...

[Jester Messiah]

27. In literature, yes.

Evil wizards do it often. It's not a term in vogue most of the time, but it's valid. Next question?

[VanillaRhapsody]

30. Where?

Not TO cackle (verb) HIS eackle (noun)


i am sure t happened thousands of times...should be a piece of cake...

[Jester Messiah]

31. Easily found

https://books.google.com/books?id=4_suk8NqH50C&pg=PT222&lpg=PT222&dq=wizard+cackle&source=bl&ots=yq5R1P2k9f&sig=SaDYUI8Jl_u3Sa4d7pESzX793lg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiawdLN283JAhXM8CYKHYswBMkQ6AEITDAM#v=onepage&q=wizard%20cackle&f=false

But I'm pretty sure Raistlin cackled at some point, and other evil wizards, scientists, and madmen do it all the time.

[VanillaRhapsody]

33. still not there ....I saw the word wizard..

nice try....nope...

you heard him do the cackle....verb!

it did not call it HIS cackle...

you thought you had it though because the two words were together! Missed it by that much!

[Jester Messiah]

34. Uh... okay...

Far be it from me to suggest you're splitting hairs in a desperate attempt to find offense.

[VanillaRhapsody]

35. I know....that is what all those folks that tell the African Americans on DU say when THEY try to

point out the subtle racism.......even by people who consider themselves progressive....

"Far be it from me to suggest you are splitting hairs in a desperate attempt to find offense" EXACTLY what they say to them...minimize it because it just "cant be"

[Jester Messiah]

36. Another time honored tactic.

Associate yourself with a persecuted group, even though what you're discussing has nothing to do with them. You're really busting out the classics tonight! Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[VanillaRhapsody]

42. really???

Have you not noticed there is not one but SEVERAL women on this thread being mansplained to how this word is NOT sexist?

its EXACTLY what happens when an AA tries to point out subtle racism....exactly....the enivitable whitesplaining it away!

[Smarmie Doofus]

43. You are embarrassing yourself. Just let it go.

Keeeerist. n/t

[Beacool]

24. Cackle?????

I think that you lost your way. Free Republic is to your right.

Hens and witches cackle, people don't. It's a sexist term used against women. "Shrill" is another favorite term used by the RW.

[Kentonio]

5. You seem to have forgotten to add..

"Pushing a senior out of her wheelchair and setting fire to an elementary school while cackling evilly as the poor media gazed on in horror".

Otherwise, an excellent fictional headline, excellent work.

[VanillaRhapsody]

21. that is NOT saying "HIS cackle"

a noun not a verb....

[Major Hogwash]

8. Blame his press secretary.

https://twitter.com/danmericaCNN/status/674254369462820865?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

He's certainly getting his name in the news for this.

Not the best way to put a good foot forward, though.

[Fawke Em]

38. And Dan Merica is being taken to the woodshed for this shit.

Read the comments to him.

People are having none of this. They know the media is trying to drive this ridiculous narrative.

[MADem]

44. Look, we know there's a crowd at Reddit that do nothing but "WAAAH" rapid response on the internet.

Someone posts a link, and they're off to the races, fingers wagging and high dudgeon a-blazing. It doesn't mean anything. It's why, despite all those internet "votes," Sanders didn't even make the finals for TIME Person of the Year. The people looking at the data can see where the people voting came from, how they were referred to the TIME site.

The "swarm game" has gone a bit OTT. People just don't believe that stuff anymore. If yammering on the net translated to votes, former President Kucinich would be weighing in on these matters.

This "Don't Ask Bernie About ISIS" story has been covered by NBC, CBS, ABC, NPR and most major papers. Don't take my word for it, do the Google, you'll see. You can try to make it about one CNN reporter, and "blame" him in some odd fashion, like he was responsible for what the the briefing to the reporters was ahead of the media availability, but the problem is a greenhorn "press secretary" who was an office-bound media staffer to Ralph Nader before she got flung into this job working for Sanders. She is just not prepared to manage a national campaign. She lacks experience--she's not stupid (though trying to cage the reporters' questions was close to that), she just needs more seasoning. WAY more. And this trial by fire isn't helping her or her candidate.

[MrMickeysMom]

10. Oh, it's twooh!!!!!

I seen the thing with mine own eyes on the Corporate NBC internuts, rumors are always coming and going and coming and going....

[Broward]

11. The Clinton campaign got its talking points out quickly.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. ClintonCNN

[Snotcicles]

14. Their DU branch really picked it up and ran with it. nt

[Vattel]

17. Sometimes it gets so dumb you just gotta laugh.

[Live and Learn]

22. Lucky you added that sarcasm tag or we wouldn't have been able to distinguish between

this post and some others here.

[MeNMyVolt]

23. Pretty much. Sorry, was not a good day for your guy.

The next several days will be much worse. The press now knows how to trip his wire. And he trips very easily.

[Maedhros]

37. My, aren't you the dedicated apparatchik!

Get those talking points OUT!

[Fawke Em]

41. Since he just did extremely well on Maddow...

Whatevs.

[RandySF]

26. President Obama once said

that a president needs to be able to work on multiple issues at any given time. This was back in 2008 when McCain wanted to cancel the debates to focus on the financial crisis but the same applies to Bernie.

[MeNMyVolt]

28. +1 Seems rather obvious.

[aikoaiko]

32. That's really doesn't apply here.

Bernie was making sure the press respected the African American leaders in that room and the poor African Americans in Baltimore that they represented.

[Cleita]

29. FFS. How low do the opposition have to go to smear another candidate?eom

[Vattel]

39. Apparently they are willing to plumb the depths.

[Agony]

40. So much Propaganda to Catapult… so little time...

good luck!
