Bernie tries to silence Hillary at last debate.

[PM Martin]

Vile.

[Little Star]

1. Nasty ass with no class.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Looks like she was interrupting him.

[MADem]

3. He interrupts her constantly by waving his finger and "tutting" while she gives her answer.

It's gotten so bad that people have made mash-ups about it.

He's very rude at these things--he can't stand still and listen, like she does. He has to wave that finger and make little unnnh and ahhhh noises WHILE she is speaking.

When people put together stuff like this, it's noticeable:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. He hasn't stopped her from speaking.

Can't stand the heat? Get out of the kitchen.

[MADem]

5. How nice that you consider that tutting and finger wagging acceptable conduct.

It has nothing to do with heat--it has to do with couth.

FWIW, you are in a protected group. Or didn't you notice?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Fine, ban me.

[still_one]

9. People who have no respect for a groups statement of purpose only verifies the OP, and that

Sanders' did in fact continually interrupt.

Sanders is a reflection of his supporters, and it is exemplified on DU more than anywhere else

[MADem]

11. I guess that "horning in" mentality is part of the package~!

LOL!

[SunSeeker]

14. Bingo. nt

[still_one]

24. You said it more succinctly and more to the point than I did, thanks

[Blue Idaho]

7. Didn't notice

Or didn't care?

[MADem]

12. +1. nt

[Cha]

27. BS doesn't scare Hillary.. but it would be nice if he didn't think his finger wagging was all that.

I would not want a President who does that to people.. it's rude and shows not a modicum of class.

[shenmue]

29. This is the Clinton group

[pandr32]

30. He is deliberately distracting...unfair to her.

[MADem]

32. That's how it looks to me as well. nt

[George II]

36. His grunts and gestures remind me of Al Gore in the 2000 debates, only more so.

[DesertRat]

41. So rude and unpresidential

[Cha]

26. BS interrupted Hillary first.. but that's ok.

[George II]

37. Yes, she was interrupting his interruption.

[treestar]

39. there was a study showing he interrupts more

they all interrupt, they have to. Or the others would hog the floor and people would be wondering why they didn't do anything.

[fleabiscuit]

8. I want a Hammer! n/t

[fleabiscuit]

10. Who is the Worst Interruptor...

[MADem]

13. Wow--Bernie wins the Interruption Games in a landslide--LOL!

I think that's the only landslide he'll enjoy, though...

That graph is telling for another reason, too--it is obvious that all save Chaffee felt quite free to play the "Men are talking" card with HRC. She gets stomped on way more than the others.

[LisaM]

16. This graph bears out what I notice

It's aggravating that people don't see it.

[MADem]

23. Hey "Honey" .... Don't you realize that "MEN ARE TALKING?"

I hope you take my comment with the full measure of with which I offer it.

Truth to tell, this kind of conduct appalls me. I find it so off-putting that I lose all respect for anyone who engages in it. And the finger in the air is like a non-verbal "SHUSH! SILENCE! STOP TALKING!" When accompanied by those snicks and ticks and ummms, and harrumphs, it is infuriating and so disrespectful.

I really would love it if they just lowered a big curtain over the person who ISN'T talking--AND turned off the microphone, for good measure, so we wouldn't have to listen to those little "interjection" sounds.

I don't understand how people can ignore it, either--it's GLARING to me.

[treestar]

40. Yep.

They can quit with that one now. These days, you have to interrupt. It is not rude. The rude thing is hogging the floor.

[Thinkingabout]

15. At 5:26 he was waving his hand and saying "whoa", Hillary was talking, that was an interruption

by Sanders.

[SunSeeker]

18. Exactly. And he always interrupts when she is trying to state damaging facts about him. nt

[Thinkingabout]

19. Filibuster?

[SunSeeker]

21. Exactly. She's trying to follow the rules of debating she learned at Yale. He doesn't give a shit.

[pandr32]

31. Exactly...his version of filibustering HC

[SunSeeker]

17. Samantha Bee rips Bernie!

The whole video is gut busting funny, but she addresses Bernie's interrupting and his finger starting at the 2:00 mark:

And of course, there's this classic bit making fun of his hand waving:

[MADem]

25. That. WAS. SUPERB!!!!!!!! LOL! nt

[SharonClark]

28. Love this - thanks for posting

[Sparkly]

20. Thank you!

I MIGHT have endured that if he didn't mutter, make faces and put his finger up to the moderators every time SHE spoke -- with the camera people faithfully going to a full frame to get them BOTH in, not just her -- on HER TIME.

But how dare SHE try to get a word in edgewise while he's repeating the same thing over and again...

I don't dislike Sanders... But I dislike double standards.... A LOT.

[SunSeeker]

22. His grimaces were so distracting it was hard to concentrate on what she was saying.

And the split screen totally enabled Sanders' ridiculous interruptions and distracting arm gestures/grimaces.

[katmille]

33. Hand waving and finger pointing

Are as much interruptions as verbal interruptions. Any teacher, professor, or speaker can tell you this! So Bernie fans, stop your own finger pointing and own up to the fact that your candidate is an angry, finger-pointing, hand-waving, one-issue sputtering man who doesn't have the experience, grace or class to be the Democratic nominee!

[fleabiscuit]

34. That's going to leave a mark. eom

[MADem]

35. I agree with this--remember how Al Gore was EXCORIATED for "sighing"

and "eye rolling" at GWB? They treated it like it was the crime of the century, and his conduct was far less distracting than that damn finger twirling.

I just do not understand why Sanders didn't get the same treatment for that "Unnnh-unnnh-UNNNNNH" and tongue clicking and finger wagging.

It was EXTREMELY distracting and blatantly disrespectful.

If they debate again, I hope she asks him to stop clicking his tongue, tut-tutting, and wagging and waving that damn finger, and wait his turn.

[betsuni]

38. I know, Al Gore pops into my head a lot during debates because of that.

A few sighs and half-eyerolls was totally the crime of the century, but that was NOTHING compared to the eccentric performances of The Bernie Show.
