Please have some water - it's free. What kind of bullshit comment was that?

[jillan]

Chris Cuomo just said that to Bernie at the debate.

Ugly ugly ugly

[restorefreedom]

1. cuomo is a hillary ass kissing ass

one of the reasons i could not bring myself to watch.

[LiberalElite]

2. (Andrew) Cuomo's a corrupt d**k. A DUer was hoping he's like his father - believe me,

he ain't.

[dorkzilla]

10. I loved Mario

I hate his kids. And I'm stuck with one of the assholes as my governor.

[RoccoR5955]

18. Me too.

I met the governor when he made a run through New Paltz, when he was running for governor.
He had not heard anything about fracking at the time. He was just there to press the meat.
He didn't strike me as anything like his father, who I have exchanged letters, and later emails with. I really miss Uncle Mario.

[dorkzilla]

24. Me too Rocco, me too. Nt

[merrily]

[dorkzilla]

23. There must be a fucked up recessive gene in the Cuomo dna

Their poor father. Not the legacy he had in mind. His POS sons have ruined his good name.

[merrily]

11. Andrew isn't either.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

3. Well, no doubt it was next to free to the corporation that pulled it out of public aquifers or lakes

They probably paid a couple of dollars for a few million gallons in a drought zone somewhere.

[Nyan]

4. Chris Cuomo is distraught at the idea that his tax dollars might end up treating sick people. nt

[Gregorian]

5. Bernie is such a class act, it's like water rolling off a ducks back.

If only I could be that way. That's why he inspires me. He's better than me, damnit.

[merrily]

8. Don't feel bad. He's better than most people.

[Wilms]

13. It ain't easy being human.

[k8conant]

6. Really crass...

[merrily]

7. Aw, those Cuomo lads, always "shuckin and jivin"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuckin'_and_jivin'

An expression that just naturally leaps to the mouth of every good ole boy raised down home--in Albany, NY

Whose genius thinking was it that the brother of a Hillary campaign surrogate had no dog in this fight?

[Fawke Em]

14. I wonder if Bernie's campaign should start rejecting these obviously biased moderators.

Would they been seen as whining or could it be used to inform the viewers about whose side Cuomo is clearly on?

[merrily]

17. IIRC, Republicans protested about Raddatz, because Obama had been a guest at one of

her weddings (to Genachowski, who was Obama's first appt to head the FCC). Did them no good.

What we can do is protest to CNN. I don't expect that will do much good either, but at least we will provide work for whoever is paid to read their feedback emails.

9. Cheap shot

Pretty ridiculous.

[TM99]

12. What an asshole.

Would it be too hard to be civil and respectful you little shit?!

[merrily]

15. Get it? Jews are cheap. That's hilarious, isn't it?

Apparently, Chris thought he was emceeing a low rent roast of Sanders, not moderating a serious political event. The ADL ought to be all over like like a cheap suit. You know, the kind of suit a cheap Jew buys.

Fscking anti Semitic jokes.

If the DNC had an ounce of objectivity, it would be protesting this sh*t.

Meanwhile, everyone who does have an ounce of decency should protest it:

[jillan]

16. Gosh - I didn't even think of it like that. I was thinking of the bullcrap line coming out of

that other campaign that all Bernie wants to do is give away free stuff.

You could have a point there.

[merrily]

19. No, I've heard anti-Semitic "Bernie is cheap" sh*t before.

[dorkzilla]

25. It's the first thing I thought of

I'm sure the jerk didn't mean to say what he was thinking.

If I was Bernie I'd have made a remark about "yeah but nothing ever comes from the mafia without strings attached". Good thing I'm not running-I'd be pulling out all the old Bronx schoolyard knocks.

[LibDemAlways]

20. I thought it was a reference to all

the "free stuff" Bernie is allegedly offering. That is bad enough, but you're right . It could be interpreted as anti-Semitic. Cuomo should be called on the carpet for this. Thanks for the link.At the very least he owes Bernie a public apology.

[merrily]

22. He should not even have been moderating. His brother is a Hillary campaign surrogate.

CNN should not have assigned him and he should not have accepted the assignment.

[arcane1]

27. Either way, it is definitely NOT objective.

Camp Clinton is trying every trick in the book.

[arcane1]

26. Today on DU we saw the return of the "he doesn't have a high enough net worth" argument against him

It's the craziest primary I can remember

[merrily]

28. Because lifelong politicians who don't become multi-millionaires are the ones we should condemn, not

the ones who get rich while in public service--or as lobbyists after they leave public service. Yes, that makes tons of sense.

[arcane1]

32. We're quite deep into the rabbit hole at this point, aren't we?

The only way to tame Wall Street is to accept their donations and give them private speeches in return.

Sanders is a miserly Jew but somehow can't hold onto his money.

He's a grumpy racist who only cared about black people back when it wasn't cool.

He spent the first two decades of his adult life broke and struggling, therefore he doesn't understand the plight of the working class.


If you had traveled back to 2008 and told me this, I wouldn't believe you

[merrily]

33. Do you have any foundation for that question?

In fairness, there was plenty of crap going on in 2008!

[arcane1]

35. The Clinton Foundation, perhaps?

Yes, it may be that I've purged so much of 2008 from my mind that I don't remember enough of it. I was also not as thrilled about any of the candidates back then like I am now

[noamnety]

31. It was worse than that.

It was simultaneously that he hasn't earned enough AND he earns too much, along with he isn't rich enough. The weather vane hit warp speed in that thread.

[arcane1]

34. Those were marching orders that definitely went out before anyone thought it through.

Exactly what one would expect from a campaign that counted on having a challenge-free coronation.

[mike dub]

36. Late to this thread, but yep...

This is exactly how I heard it (the dog whistle) too, merrily. An old stereotype thing.
Cuomo is a jackass.

[AZ Progressive]

29. You know, noone complained about welfare until black people started getting more access to it

Reagan obviously used the Southern Strategy when depicting "welfare bums" as black people.

If you look up the roots of the puritan work ethic, it was mostly used to attack minorities.

Also, higher education was more affordable until those "spoiled, educated kids" started protesting, and then Reagan was the first to revenge by taking away free college in California. The trilateral commission in the 70's commissioned a report that concluded that affordable higher education was a threat to the system.

[jillan]

30. Am I missing something here? I was asking a question about Cuomo's comment about free water.

[catnhatnh]

37. Hey Chris-

Didn't your family used to live in public housing???
