Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumAre Hillary Clinton supporters really calling the actual photographer
who took all of those photos of Bernie a liar? They are interviewing Mrs. Greenspan, but not the actual photographer who says is it indeed Bernie Sanders in this photo. Same clothes, same haircut. Goodness. Do they have any idea it makes them look like monkeys in a cage flinging crap?

You know youve hit rock bottom when Reince Penis is saying at least were not as bad as the Democrats (not that anything he says is true, but still...)

(819 posts)Iraq? Then -- Let's go to war. Now? "I was wrong."
Keystone XL? Only until late did she finally take a stand against it.
TPP? "Gold standard, baby!" Now? "Bernie is against it and voting public agree with him. I guess it isn't gold standard enough for me .... for now."
Marriage? Then -- "I believe in traditional marriage is a man and a woman." Now? "I believe in gay rights and gay marriage. Yay!"
Seriously, I don't want 4 years of GOP damage, but Hillary is going to do enough incremental damage as well. She is not the best we can get or do. Her judgement is just awful, but rest assured, she will apologize to us in the future for whatever damage she delivers if elected.

Rile up Bernie supporters, get some to lose their cool, then call all of his supporters racists, sexists, haters, whatever. Distract from her empty policies and Bernie's popular ones and make it about who called who a poopyhead.

(10,786 posts)Sally Cook, the retired government lawyer University of Chicago alumni who contacted the University of Chicago archives to get the caption of the photo changed, conceded to Time magazine reporter Sam Frizell that she could not "say for certain the man is not Sanders."
So what made it so important to her that she felt she needed to change the caption in order to identify the individual at a 40+-year-old sit in as some long dead acquaintance rather than as Bernie Sanders?
Who then told Sam Frizell, Time magazine's Clinton pool reporter, about this trifling photo flap? What induced Sam Frizell to devote 1000 words to this complete non-story without making any attempt to contact the original photographer?
What then induced the WaPo's Jonathan Capehart, the live in partner of a rich Clinton campaign staffer, to pick up this complete non-story and spin it into a direct attack of Sanders' integrity without making any attempt to contact the original photographer?
Why did corporate cable news then trot out Capehart on 10 different shows to promulgate this complete non-story?

(15,480 posts)It'a a common name, but my google search only turned up one attorney by that name who was a University of Chicago alumna, Class of 1966. She's lived and worked in Indianapolis for 43 years. I hope there is at least one uncompromised journalist out there who will contact her and interview her in depth as to who and what motivated her in this deception.

(4,711 posts)If they had to actually admit that Bernie has a strong civil rights record, then they might actually have to admit that all those people who they said were "condescending" to them might actually have been pointing out real gaps in their knowledge. That is unacceptable, obviously. Reality must, therefore, be the one to bend.

(9,290 posts)[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=#009999]But apparently, A great number of Hillary's supporters on this site are pushing this SLANDER against Sanders.
It was Sanders in those photos, and they ALL KNOW IT.
Between this and their revisionist history of Sander's LGBTQ+ record, it is clear to me that some of them have no shame. How can they even sleep at night?[/font]

(1,252 posts)Wasn't it Karl Rove that perfected the art of hanging your own weakness on your opponent?
Put another way, isn't it a pretty well known political tactic to attempt to destroy your opponent's credibility when you yourself have none? Then, you can say, "See, neither of us are trustworthy so go with me cause I'm the devil you know."
Her overuse last night of the term, "Level with the American People" was nasty and ugly. Bernie has been on the level from Day 1 while she makes Nixon look like a saint. Oh, yeah: This is just my opinion and that is how it seems to me. My perception. Your perception may differ.
