Chris Cuomo just said that to Bernie at the debate.

(12,471 posts)I met the governor when he made a run through New Paltz, when he was running for governor.
He had not heard anything about fracking at the time. He was just there to press the meat.
He didn't strike me as anything like his father, who I have exchanged letters, and later emails with. I really miss Uncle Mario.

What we can do is protest to CNN. I don't expect that will do much good either, but at least we will provide work for whoever is paid to read their feedback emails.

(45,251 posts)Apparently, Chris thought he was emceeing a low rent roast of Sanders, not moderating a serious political event. The ADL ought to be all over like like a cheap suit. You know, the kind of suit a cheap Jew buys.
Fscking anti Semitic jokes.
If the DNC had an ounce of objectivity, it would be protesting this sh*t.
Meanwhile, everyone who does have an ounce of decency should protest it:

You could have a point there.

If I was Bernie I'd have made a remark about "yeah but nothing ever comes from the mafia without strings attached". Good thing I'm not running-I'd be pulling out all the old Bronx schoolyard knocks.

(15,139 posts)the "free stuff" Bernie is allegedly offering. That is bad enough, but you're right . It could be interpreted as anti-Semitic. Cuomo should be called on the carpet for this. Thanks for the link.At the very least he owes Bernie a public apology.

(38,613 posts)The only way to tame Wall Street is to accept their donations and give them private speeches in return.
Sanders is a miserly Jew but somehow can't hold onto his money.
He's a grumpy racist who only cared about black people back when it wasn't cool.
He spent the first two decades of his adult life broke and struggling, therefore he doesn't understand the plight of the working class.
If you had traveled back to 2008 and told me this, I wouldn't believe you

(45,251 posts)In fairness, there was plenty of crap going on in 2008!

(38,613 posts)Yes, it may be that I've purged so much of 2008 from my mind that I don't remember enough of it. I was also not as thrilled about any of the candidates back then like I am now

(20,234 posts)It was simultaneously that he hasn't earned enough AND he earns too much, along with he isn't rich enough. The weather vane hit warp speed in that thread.

Cuomo is a jackass.
AZ Progressive
(3,411 posts)Reagan obviously used the Southern Strategy when depicting "welfare bums" as black people.
If you look up the roots of the puritan work ethic, it was mostly used to attack minorities.
Also, higher education was more affordable until those "spoiled, educated kids" started protesting, and then Reagan was the first to revenge by taking away free college in California. The trilateral commission in the 70's commissioned a report that concluded that affordable higher education was a threat to the system.
