Such a positive, hopeful campaign that's drawing all kinds of wonderful people into the party.

Interesting word choice when talking about Secretary Clinton.

Thank goodness for closed primaries. Keep the enemies outside the gates.

“Now Secretary Clinton has said that Medicare for all will never happen. [boos] Well, I agree with Secretary Clinton that Medicare for all will never happen if we have a president who never aspires for something greater than the status quo. [cheers] Medicare for all will never happen if we continue to elect corporate Democratic whores [cheers] who are beholden to Big Pharma and the private insurance industry instead of us.”

1. Disgusting

Full misogyny on display.

[rock]

6. Now we'll see if anyone

Whines, "Your're playing the 'misogyny' card!"
Or as I like to put it, they play the "Your're playing the 'misogyny' card!" card.

[LeFleur1]

49. :)

We play the cards we are dealt.

[DemonGoddess]

2. Yikes!

And this is encouraged at these rallies????

[SunSeeker]

3. K & R for exposure. nt

[radical noodle]

4. K&R

I'm speechless. I've lost respect for so many people during this primary.

[JanetLovesObama]

5. And Sanders does absolutely NOTHING

to stop this filth. I had to block over 500 Sanders supporters because of their filthy mouths.

[SharonClark]

7. Come on, we shouldn't be as bad as Sanders supporters and create a daily outrage

One, they are better at it than Hillary supporters are. Two, we know Twitter is a haven for all kinds of deranged behavior, those twits don't represent either the Hillary or Sanders campaigns.

[geek tragedy]

8. the "corporate Democratic whores" remark was a speaker on stage helping

introduce the candidate.

[mcar]

24. Boom!

"It's not Bernie's fault!!!111"

[72DejaVu]

32. YOU AREN'T OUTRAGED???

Bernie's surrogate calls Hillary Clinton a "whore" right in front of Bernie, and the illustrious Senator stands there, smiles and THANKS HIM?

How the fuck does that not represent the Sander campaign???

[Demsrule86]

55. It does represent him.

Whore is the new black...they can try but thy won't break her.

[Stand and Fight]

37. Bullshit.

[fleabiscuit]

39. Sorry SharonClark, peeps are on edge and feeling under siege at times.

They'll probably say sorry too. Right!?

[Cha]

40. Sorry, that was wrong.

[fleabiscuit]

41. Cha!

[Cha]

43. Hey flea! Our jury just got a hide on an OP trying to excuse the word "*****" with

a dictionary explanation.

I read in the thread that "the guy apologized".. so who was the guy?

[fleabiscuit]

45. That interesting... not a clue but haven't been around a lot today.

[Cha]

47. Yeah, I just got on, too.. we'll find out..

[Cha]

50. Wow.. I just found out..

"The speaker was Dr. Paul Song, a healthcare advocate, and executive chairman of the Courage Campaign, who is married to actress Lisa Ling. Song has now apologized, after his words blew up the Internet."

Note that Song did not simply use the word “whore,” but they added the word “Democrat.”

There are a few problems here.

1. When you’re opponent is a woman, it’s probably not a good idea to call the people you’re running against “whores.”

2. Throwing in the word “Democratic” before the word “whore” makes things even worse. Some on Twitter are claiming that Sanders’ speaker simply meant “corporate whores.” But that’s not what they said — they said “Democratic whores.” That was meant as a slur against Democrats generally, from someone who isn’t a Democrat, and doesn’t like Democrats.

So the question remains whether Sanders agrees with his speaker at his own rally that Democrats are whores generally, or whether there are specific Democratic whores who Bernie Sanders has a problem with — Congress, President Obama, and/or Hillary Clinton herself?

MOre..

[bluestateguy]

9. DISgusting

And I call on the candidate to immediately reject and denounce this blatant sexism from his own supporters.

[Godhumor]

10. Bernie needs to actually lead his campaign as a leader

Not just as someone enjoying the adulation. A real leader would shut that shit down.

[KelleyD]

14. I agree, Bernie's ego has clouded his mind. He is reveling in the adoration! eom

[Cha]

48. Like President Obama would have none of that.. he wouldn't even let them "Boo!".. He

said "Don't Boo, Vote!". And, Obama got the VOTES!

[livetohike]

11. Tomorrow's debate will be a good one. A pathetic, angry, desperate, tired,

Re-living his youth Independent versus the candidate with poise, solutions, experience, professionalism and intelligence.

Sanders campaign that will be different sure is and it's pitiful.

[IamMab]

17. If we can just get Sanders arrested once somehow, maybe he'll disappear for another 40 years? nt

[KelleyD]

12. Bernie is treading on thin ice...Calling for a "revolution" is bringing out the Crazies!

Just like Then Donald has brought out the White Supremacist....all the Anarchist are hearing the Dog Whistle of Bernie's Socialist message...however innocuously his followers deny it! He needs to rein this in right now!

18. Cheers to the jury for taking a Hill Group...

Stalker to task. 0-7 leave goes to the admins. They seeeee you. You are not as anonymous as you think you are.

25. Yes, kudos to the jury

Nice to see you, she!

[sheshe2]

28. Hey mcar,

Good to see you too.

Lol~ Habit, I still lay low when I am here, they are still stalking and hiding.

[mcar]

33. They have their targets to be sure

Good idea to lay low.

[Setsuna1972]

15. what a bunch of lowlife cretins

Disgusting immature idiots who follow their fake Messiah as if he could walk on water

[creon]

19. No revolution

Bernie Sanders is not leading a "political revolution".

We do not have a revolutionary situation.
1860 was a revolutionary situation; 1932 was one.
1026 certainly is not.

There are 188 Democrats in the HoR of 435.
There are 44 Democrats ( plus two caucusing with the DEmocrats.
That means gaining 30 in the HoR and at least six in the Senate.

There will be no revolution and Congress will not be filled with "Bernie Crats".

[sheshe2]

20. Nauseating filth they spew.

[ismnotwasm]

21. Typical.

And not surprising

[Walk away]

22. This is all Bernie Sanders fault. He is intent upon destroying the Democratic party.

I will happily dance on his political grave when he loses.

[mcar]

23. They seem nice

[SaschaHM]

26. I'm beyond over Sanders' crazy surrogates.

Rosario Dawson said "too many people have died because of the policies of some of the people running." She's trying to lay the blame of every death in Iraq on Hillary. I'm sick of them.

REACTION: Speaker at Bernie NYC Rally Refers to ‘Corporate Democratic Whores’
By Peter Daou
April 13, 2016
624 Shares

According to MSNBC reporter Alex Seitz-Wald, a speaker at Bernie Sanders’s Washington Square Park rally referenced “corporate Democratic whores.” The reaction was immediate. Bernie should immediately denounce this kind of inflammatory language. Especially when his Democratic rival is a woman.

UPDATE: BNR has reviewed the speech delivered by Paul Song. Song was clearly speaking about Hillary Clinton before he spoke these words:

“Medicare for all will never happen if we continue to elect corporate democratic whores who are beholden to big pharma.”

Full context:

Now Secretary Clinton has said that Medicare for all will never happen. [boos] Well, I agree with Secretary Clinton that Medicare for all will never happen if we have a president who never aspires for something greater than the status quo. [cheers] Medicare for all will never happen if we continue to elect corporate Democratic whores [cheers] who are beholden to big pharma and the private insurance industry instead of us.”

The inference is hard to avoid.

UPDATE 2: Bernie thanked (yes, thanked) the speakers who introduced him for their “great introductions” — including Dr. Song, who referenced “corporate Democratic whores” and Hillary Clinton in the same context.

31. FFS!

I want him the hell out of our party. That man and his supporters say he is a feminist. My ass. He is a misogynist through and through.

[Cha]

54. Thank you for that, rivers. BS has the worst surrogates and they reflect him exactly.

[anotherproletariat]

30. Don't they see that they are exactly like the left's version of the Tea Party??

It really does have many characteristics of a cult.

For Rachel or Lawrence O'Donnel tomorrow night. This is beyond the pale.

I haven't looked around, is ANY major outlet reporting on this?

Has anyone sent this around? HuffPost? The Times?

This cannot go unanswered.

How do we do it? Any thoughts out there?


Edit: on Maddow blog there's a category called send it to Rachel. The associated email address is [e-mail]. . She actively solicited stories from viewers. I'm writing something now. May I suggest others do similarly if so inclined.

Second edit: sent email to rachel. Posted on O'Donnell's MSNBC page feed. "whore" was auto edited out by them once I hit post.

[DemonGoddess]

Especially the Obama coalition

[Cha]

42. Our jury just got a hide on an OP trying to excuse the word "*****" with a Dictionary

explanation.

And, I read in the thread that the guy apologized.. so who was "the guy"?

[Cha]

44. "berniecrats"... brawawaaaaaa We've seen what they're like.. No ******* Thanks.

Like BS got anything done in all his years?

President Obama and Hillary get things done.. So much success!

[nini]

46. This is exactly what Sanders wants

and what he believes.

[redstateblues]

51. Bernie is a divisive, angry, envy stirring politician

[Tarheel_Dem]

53. It's the influx of these f**kin' Greens & Libertarians. They won't be satisfied until the party is..

as screwed up as the GOP.
