1. "Don't you dare carve happy faces on pussy sores!"

Wow, some loony religious wildman is shrieking on there now.

on edit: Rachel is playing an extended version of this maniac. I can't believe people find this shit entertaining.

[Fawke Em]

2. Whaaaa...?

[valerief]

3. Turn it on now. Clips from some GOP event in Iowa this weekend.

Jindal, Huckabee, and Cruz. All crazy Christian shit by some shrieking loon railing against gays.

BTW, how does one spell the adjective version of pus? Is it pussy or something else?

[Art_from_Ark]

5. The adjective version of "pus" is "pussy"

but seeing the written word with "sores" after it is, well, likely to evoke a different interpretation.

[appalachiablue]

28. The red shirt, beret figure really looks good, whether an activist, musician or painter. Very nice.

[jwirr]

29. She shows almost all of this crazy bigoted preacher screaming

about gays. And then shows him talking to all three of the R candidates. That preacher should be ...... well I can't say it on DU.

[valerief]

36. He certainly should be. nt

[Art_from_Ark]

4. I'll second that "Whaaaaaa....?"

[valerief]

6. I found the cow manure/happy face/pussy sores clip.

[SoapBox]

7. I caught one second of this vomit...

and changed back to the basketball game.

[Ed Suspicious]

8. I've been talking all day about policy prescriptions. This guy is not the doctor our

country needs.

[MrMickeysMom]

14. Put a little chlorine on it, dude...

Take the same chlorine that should be poured into your lunatic gene pool.

The gay has caused internal bleeding...

[Enthusiast]

15. We are messed up, alright. LOL.

[tblue]

18. Was that "pus-sy" sores or "pussy" sores?

What a lunatic!

[valerief]

20. The modified version of pus. nt

[Ken Burch]

37. "Pussy Sores" so needs to be a band name. n/t.

[appalachiablue]

9. See 3. Some insane, raving, anti gay minister is involved with a GOP Forum from what I

gather. ~ Wish there'd been more on the lead about polling after the SC Dem. Forum. Rachel said the results would also be out tmrw in the PP?. Clinton is still leading in SC and I wonder about the demo. of those polled.
>Today a young black woman in South Carolina called Thom Hartman's program to say she went to the Dem. Forum last Fri. and was very impressed with candidates, esp. Bernie. She put Bernie stickers on her car, and when she returned home from work at a health center the next day her car tires were slashed.

When Thom asked her what she thought could be done by the *Sanders campaign to increase contact and outreach to PoC and African Americans, she suggested connecting with BLACK COLLEGES, an excellent idea.
Bernie's *National Student Town Hall recently held at George Mason Univ. in NoVA was a big success, attended by many DC area college students and livestreamed to 300 campuses in all 50 states. Many US colleges with large black and minority student populations could be, and may be involved in Sanders campaign via his campus student groups.

>Rachel was a guest on Chris Hayes just before and they briefly discussed the SC Forum mostly in terms of format. Rachel was surprised when she met local democrats in SC who said Sanders should not be included (?!), a theme she said O'Malley went with at the event.

The South Carolina Democratic Forum at Winthrop Univ. was very well done, good event.

[Fawke Em]

10. Entrenched "Democrats" on the local level have been saying that

since he started gaining momentum. Many have reported here and on Thom Hartmann that when Sanders supporters show up to local Dem groups to volunteer for him, they are told they have to support Hillary or are turned away.

There is a massive move to pave the way for her among establishment Democrats. What they weren't banking on was the depth of his support.

In regards to the young black woman who had her tires slashed, this is South Carolina. I'd blame a Republican more than a Hillarian for that one.

[appalachiablue]

11. I've heard that about Dem. groups on Hartmann. Recently a young, active person in AL

called who was ready to join with friends, and was then told they don't take 'anyone under 35'. Another way to select out Bernie leaning younger millennials. It's rotten. With the SC woman's tire slashing, I figured it was nasty RW locals, (not HRC people).
They weren't counting on the level of his support for sure. But Do Not Underestimate Bernie Sanders!

[jwirr]

30. I wish there was a way to help the young voters who are

being turned away. That is not right? Where are you Hillary when you are needed?

[SoapBox]

12. And now popping up...

Some poll numbers for the Forum that are glowing for her...call me suspicious but I simply do not believe that they are that good for her.

The sampling has got to be odd.

I'm also constantly take'n back how the Entrentched "Clinton 80's Era" Establishment is going all out slimy to try to coronate her...it leaves me shaking my head how rotten this is...this NOT what I think of as my Democratic Party.

[appalachiablue]

13. Agree, two OPs just popped up based on Rachels' Forum poll report tonite and the PPP now out.

The cheer is heady, but I'd like to know who was really polled. And as some on those threads pointed out, how can you 'win' a forum?
The Establishment is entrenched, resourced and out for Victory by any means, The Last Chance.

[Enthusiast]

16. I think it's just another ruse. It has become just one continuous never ending ruse now. Polls too.

[Robbins]

17. with PPP claiming 67% thought clinton won forum

You have to wonder if clinton supporters are living in their own bubble like republicans.Of course only 2 million actully watched it
so maybe viewship was mostly Clinton supporters.

[appalachiablue]

19. Only 2 million viewers. I didn't see much advert for the event before hand either, a quick

promo on MSNBC a couple days before Friday's Forum is all. And what about many Americans who don't have TV or cable now. Clinton also did better in the first Debate than this Forum IMO. Dicey stuff.

[jwirr]

31. I actually thought they all did very well. If they had polled

me I would have said "no one."

[appalachiablue]

32. I also thought they all did well, O'Malley really tried but who knows. Bernie was best, I'm biased!

The Forum's format, setting and moderating by Rachel I found very interesting. It seemed more relaxed and intimate though still professional compared to the traditional Debate stage with podium big event we'll see again with Dems. this Saturday on CBS.

[jwirr]

33. I was impressed with the style also. They got to set down and

talk. My grandson and granddaughter watched with me and after it was over grandson asked why O'Malley was not doing so well because he recognized that him and Bernie were saying about the same things. I told him that Bernie had a head start. Granddaughter asked how old Bernie was and laughed when I told her my age.

The best thing about the forum was that we had a known Democrat asking the questions. I really think that makes a difference.

[appalachiablue]

34. Rachel definitely made a difference, so did the more intimate, relaxed theater in the round

setting, and her original 'question cards', a nice interlude and bit fun but not sleazy. Glad your grandchildren got to watch with you, that's just great. For you and yours,

[jwirr]

35. Great picture.

[n8dogg83]

21. According to PPP's methodology, it said 80% of respondents contacted by "phone".

I'm curious as whether that includes both landlines and cell phones or just landlines. One would think the results would be drastically different depending on the answer. Anyway, regardless of polls, I think Bernie's campaign knows they have a lot of work to do in SC. He should definitely make a point to visit HBCU's there, do some outreach and listening tours among the AA community. His campaign team he put together in SC is also just getting started, so I expect to start seeing his profile among AA's in SC to go up.

[appalachiablue]

22. There are a couple new threads in GD-P on the reliability of polling these days for many reasons

and landline responses have been questionable for a while. I think Sanders actual support is rising and will continue in SC and other places despite contrary corporate M$M headlines, punditry and spin.

[Robbins]

23. I had to laugh at PPP's sc poll

not that she has huge lead or big lead with blacks but 60% with younger voters besides polls like this where is any
evidance Clinton beats bernie with younger voters.

I am not going to get worked up anymore by clinton supporters posting polls like PPP to discourage us.if race was over why the need to smear bernie and his supporters as sexist or racists.

[n8dogg83]

24. I'm long past the point of getting worked up over polls. It's just not constructive...

and causes stress. I have made a challenge to myself that for each poll touted by the Clinton folks, I donate another $10 to Bernie.

[Robbins]

25. I guess bernie got another $10.00 dollors from you today

[n8dogg83]

26. Haha! Yup. I figure its a win-win. It keeps me from stressing out about a poll and it helps Bernie's

campaign.

[appalachiablue]

27. What a great de-stresser and benefit to You and Bernie. Win-win it is!

>>**FAVOR, Can somebody reading this please give one REC so the thread is circulated wider, thanks!
