Clinton Donor CONFIRMS Use Of White-Noise Machine At Secretive High $$ Colorado Fundraiser!
http://gawker.com/clinton-donor-confirms-presence-of-static-noise-machine-1770511652from the link:
Last week, a local Denver journalist named Stan Bush reported that Hillary Clinton’s campaign appeared to be using a hidden static noise machine to prevent reporters and other passerby from hearing the candidate’s stump speech at an outdoor fundraiser held at the private residence of Colorado’s governor, John Hickenlooper. The general allegation hung in odd kind of limbo, however, since Bush managed to record the machine’s (inherently indiscriminate) sound but was unable to photograph the actual device, while Clinton’s press shop ignored reporters’ attempts to confirm the machine’s existence. Meanwhile, the underlying question went unanswered: Why was Clinton using a static noise machine in the first place?

Just ignore him/her.
It's not worth the emotional strife.
But here's the difference between us....
If Sanders were at that garden party, raising money for downticket races and talking about election strategy to donors, I would say "GOOD FOR BERNIE!!" too.
See?
I want a DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE in the White House next year.
I want a Democratic Senate, and a Democratic House.
I put the goals of the party of which I'm a member over partisan, petty, childish, whiney bullshit. Pity you can't seem to manage that.
I don't think advertising our tactics to those who would do us harm is a smart move--obviously you do. You think you have a "right" to a pound of flesh, 24-7. Pro tip: You don't. You want to know what goes on at private events like that? Pony up the dough, and off you go.
who has done more to completely and irrevocably DESTROY Bernie Sanders' reputation save anyone but Tad Devine.
You really do NOT know your candidate at all. Get real.
But what's new????
Maybe you should think harder before you lash out like that in such a sour and personal way. Or don't. It won't make a damned bit of difference at the end of the day, you know.
Could you possibly condescend more?
Bernie signed a promise with DWS to fundraise for DNC downticket races--he hasn't done it yet.
If he got off his ass and did it, I would hope he'd use every tool in the toolbox to shut the GOP out. I would cheer him for so doing, too.
Nothing "Catch 22" about it--if you pay attention and follow along.
go to "politicians who are actively trying to beat him at this point...."
The DNC asked him--and HE AGREED, over half a year ago--to appear at fundraising parties, of the sort that you saw in the big Noise Machine Kerfluffle. He MADE THE PROMISE.
Here's how it works--he flies in. He eats a fancy schmancy dinner. He gets up with a mike (and a noise machine, if he is smart) and he tells these donors how important they are, and gives them a little anecdotal love, a cutesy personal story, something that they won't hear on the news, and then he launches into a stump about "How we're going to beat those Republicans," playing the audience up as key players in this fight, anything to make them feel special.
From these donors, Sanders can peel off $2700 per attendee, with the balance of up to slightly over 30K at the max going to the party to support downticket dems. Then, he poses for pictures, he does a little gripping/grinning, he has a brief private chat (with more "inside baseball"
for the Silverbacks in the crowd (the ones giving the big dough) and then he hops into his limo, is whisked to the airport, he boards a plane and he goes where he needs to go.
That effort is all about getting US --and that is all of US, here, every damn one of US who doesn't want to see the GOP running shit any more -- a better Congress. It may not be the "best" Congress ever, but purity is pointless, and we need to get a BETTER Congress seated if we want to stop the gridlock and get anything done.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Sanders needs to do his part, though, in the construction effort, and he has not yet done that even though he made the PROMISE.
That haven't paid tens of thousands of dollars to listen to Hillary get away with not paying. But, don't worry, she is for the middle and lower classes... She promises.
She's laughing at you, and she doesnt believe you deserve to know what her real plans are.........
