From Joan Walsh
:
Watching people trash your daughter on social media isn’t fun. It got worse when Hillary Clinton’s Twitter account retweeted her, and worse again when she tweeted about Planned Parenthood’s Cecile Richards, a woman she admires, in the wake of the group’s controversial decision to endorse Clinton. It turns out Richards’s daughter works for Clinton as well, and that began a new round of insults to both our daughters. Either they were beneficiaries of our nepotism, or they somehow used their influence to corrupt their dimwit mothers into ignoring Sanders’s obviously superior feminist qualifications. It is interesting to me that none of the ladies—not Clinton, not me nor my daughter, not Richards nor her daughter—are credited with competence or integrity when the Berniebot keyboard warriors break it all down.

I have been watching the vitriol here, on twitter, blog comments, etc. & it always starts with very nasty Hillary supporters! As soon as Bernie started catching up with her in the polls & his crowds grew bigger & bigger the thin skin Hillary supporters started to get worse! I just got tired of it & fought back. On several occasions I just pointed out the differences between them on DU & I was voted off threads. I seldom comment on anything here anymore. 
I think I know what was on his mind. 
Obama met with Bernie because Berniebro was mean to Al Franken?! 
What part of Cali Democrat's insightful point is escaping you? 
That made me LOL, thanks! 
It has to be some grand anti-Sanders conspiracy!
It would have been interesting to see how those arguments would have been spun had that come to pass. I actually suspect we still would have heard the same bargle- even back then when there was real hope to see a EW candidacy, when she was the clear preferred choice of those of us here who wanted a more progressive alternative, the same rumblings were there ---- about how opposing Hillary meant "misogyny".
"How can it be Misogyny if I want Elizabeth Wa---" LA LA LA I CANT HEAR YOUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!
Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!
might need someone to be bring in the southern vote.
Every Hillary supporter who slimed Bernie from day one will make an appearance. I'm waiting for the ones who posted anti-Semitic slurs and called his wife a felon to show up.
Poor kid. 
up to "mischief." Now why would I think that based on what I've seen to date..
my sister and I grew up with an 'uncle' really a second cousin and his friend in the 60's who had the time and showed us many exciting places. Later on some in the family learned the truth and they were not sure what to say, but we will always have fond memories of our adventures, the World's Fair in NYC several times, the Museum of Modern Art many times, learning to paint or counting the coins they threw into a jar and wondering where we could go with the money.
This afternoon we spent time with another friend we have known for 40 years and his Canadian husband, we spoke of HC and how they are thinking of splitting their time between the US and Canada, not wanting to let go of the HC system they have in Canada, but wanting to spend more time in a warmer climate. But it was also a stark reminder of how things have changed for the better, our son is gay and in his early 20's, he has it so much easier now compared to the 60's. These are the times when it is 'easier' to speak one's mind, still there are challenges, but easier than before.
Everyone should be judged for how they interact with others, not on some damn label. I myself went to a Catholic boarding school in high school and that was a trip, needless to say I did not always conform and attended too many 6 am masses as punishment.
We are all in this world together and should never inflict our beliefs unto another person.
and Obama did help advance the issue. Thankfully my son is experiencing a different world ... small steps.
And I really to do not care how the corporate media, thanks in part to Bill Clinton, spins the headline as a flip flop. Many people are too savvy and read beyond the corporate BS ... Thankfully!!!!
You got it wrong, there was never another DNC sanctioned debate scheduled for 2/1 or even 2/4. Even for 2/4 the DNC has not sanctioned the debate. You really should go back to those threads and admit you had it wrong and stop blaming Sanders as going back on his word, life is too short to play the game of the corporate/establishment masters, but that is JMHO.
But thanks, I really do appreciate the fact that you had the courage to admit your mistake.
treating unfairly by one group here, you still support the best candidate in the primaries.
I think we all tend to be a bit more sensitive and protective in a 'closed' and minority space. I know there is excitement for change outside of DU.
From what I have experienced with my kids there is a lot of excitement for Sanders, my kids are total opposites, they both would vote for Sanders in the primaries, would they both vote for another candidate in the GE? One would, maybe not the other.
What we post here means nothing to most of the population at large.
was the time to stop it and that was months ago. Poor Joan Walsh.
Suffice it to read GDP.
