Hillary Campaign Threatens Withholding Debates Over Bernie's "Tone"

[LongTomH]

OK, where are these 'negative' ads Bernie's campaign is supposedly running?

[ladjf]

1. Regular campaign rhetoric. Move on along, nothing here to be seen. nt

[longship]

2. Let's see...

Aha! David Brock releases a post impugning Bernie's relationship with Jane, a clear personal smear whose "tone" is reprehensible by any standard.

Hillary is a fucking hypocrite.

[lewebley3]

10. Hillary will be a wonderful President: Your vulgarism typical of Sanders people

Hillary is winning: you should be a little more gracious
to her.

[longship]

13. I only report the truth.

Brock's smarmy attack on Bernie came the same day that Hillary impugned Bernie's campaign "tone" as an excuse to dodge the a NYC debate.

Apparently HRC supporters have irony deficiency disorder in not seeing this.

And yes, David Brock is a major HRC campaign operative. He runs one of her PACs. That's where she gets her dough. Well, there and the big corporations like big banks on Wall Street, oil cos, private prison corps, etc.

My question is how can anybody support such a thing?

I will vote for her if she gets the nom, but it will likely be the toughest vote of my life, and I am not young (born in the 40's).

And I will thank you for not responding to facts with the claim of "typical of Sanders people." I am not typical in anything I do.

And if I want to curse, I will fucking curse. Just like John Dos Passos said. Live with it.

18. There is no need for anymore Debates the boring and have the same info

[longship]

29. Says a Hillary supporter, only because she said no. nt

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. Actually, Hillary is losing support.

[stellanoir]

3. Perhaps only those with

mellifluous voices and impeccable hearing can truly arbitrate tonality.

4. Waaaaaah!!!

This is what they sound like:

[MrMickeysMom]

7. You know what's GREAT?

If you play the initial video of the OP, then start THIS sound track!!!

Spot ON!

[FourScore]

15. LOL Okay, I had to try that.

Had to open 2 windows to do it...LMAO!!

Too funny. I actually feel a little immature now, but it was worth it.

[MrMickeysMom]

22. Aw...

That'll wear off after the next news cycle...

[Plucketeer]

5. You should be willing to campaign for every vote

You should be willing to debate...... wait for it...... ANYTIME - ANYWHERE.

So, what IS the right and proper parse procedure here? Anyone? Anyone from the cloistered HRC group?

[lewebley3]

6. Hillary is fighting for every vote: but were had enough debates

Sanders is losing so he is going negative: Hillary
should take the higher road, and work to bring Dem's
together.

[Wibly]

8. Where, when.

Give us a link. Show us one ad or statement Sanders has made that can rightfully be called "negative".
And please, spare us any comment that questions Clinton's record. Questioning a candidate's record is not negative. Or is Hillary Clinton the only one who is allowed to say things like: Where was Bernie when I was saving health care?

[lewebley3]

9. Look at his ads: and listen to his speeches in last week: He is losing: and he is

not a gracious to Hillary winning.

[MrMickeysMom]

23. I've seen a lot of bullshit responses...

You are the gift that keeps on giving!

[lewebley3]

31. Your a Sanders dangerous ideologue: Not a progressive

You would sell the out for Sanders

[MrMickeysMom]

32. You have not the least idea of who I am...

... much less of what constitutes aa dangerous ideologue, based on that ignorant response.

[Wibly]

30. Still waiting

I asked you for even one link that demonstrates how Bernie has been negative.
Crickets.

[Plucketeer]

11. LOL! Wishful thinking

Just HOW IS simply echoing the facts, negative??? Admittedly, some facts can FEEL like a negative thing - but they're really innocent of any maliciousness, because they are what they are?

For instance: Who could argue that if you land in what's possibly hostile territory - what's the smartest way to avoid the looming threat of sniper fire? The factually smart way would be to de-plane in quick fashion and run for your armored transport with your head down.
Fact is - when madame Secretary was in this very situation a few years back, while visiting Bosnia, she showed immense bravado by gingerly walking off the C-17 to shake hands with local luminaries - graciously receive a bunch of flowers and listen to kids sing. Then after some smiling photo-ops with a troop of GIs, she casually walked to the HumVee she was to be transported in. Those aren't really flattering facts - when compared to her account of what happened, but they're facts, nonetheless.

Another fact is that while Dame Hillary is bloviating to Wisconsin about the EVILS of big money in politics - she does so on the very heels of YUUUUUGE fund-raiser dinner at George Clooney's house this weekend. While her words and her actions seem at odds with one another, they're just facts. There's nothing inherently negative about them.

Reminds me of the old line from the Dragnet TV series: The facts mam - just the facts.

[lewebley3]

12. You cherry pick your facts out of context: to suit your own negative

narrative toward Hillary. Hillary has a large body of political
history: one cannot no use clip notes out of context to tell
a story about her.

She has been on the national stage since she was in her 20's:
the way Sanders people string facts together they could
make Hillary look like "Aids" was all her fault since she was
alive at the time.

The problems of money in politics has always been part of
politics, there is nothing new: There is no evidence that
Hillary did anything ever than work for the people and not
corporations.

Sanders people treat politics like a religion; it not: politics
is about comprise to move the country forward for all of us.

[Plucketeer]

14. I want to apologise

I've traded quips with you before - and afterwards, I've chastised myself for picking on a disadvantage sort.

[lewebley3]

17. Your disadvantage you are a Sanders supporter: the counrty is rejecting Sanders

soundly,

[Spitfire of ATJ]

19. He's leading now in the polls.

[lewebley3]

20. The contest is not about polls: its about the nominee: She is winning; Sanders is losing

[Spitfire of ATJ]

21. They're only 230 delegates apart....

Obama was behind going into the convention until the superdelegates flipped to him.

Expect that to happen again since many came out for her before Bernie even announced.

Sanders is gaining ground, not losing it.

To think Hillary supporters were saying it was over a week ago and Bernie should drop out.

[navarth]

24. Honestly I don't know why you guys feed trolls.

Up to you of course....but...oh well

[Spitfire of ATJ]

25. You've never trolled a troll?

[navarth]

28. I understand

I think it just encourages them but I won't be a party pooper since it's obvious you know what you're doing.

Enjoy.

[revbones]

26. ^^ BOOM ^^

[corbettkroehler]

27. Sign Sanders' Debate Petition

So, HRC "has been tested" but Sanders has not? Mrs. "Ready-To-Lead-On-Day-One" expects us to nominate her to go toe-to-toe with Putin but she won't debate a friend on account of her thin skin?
