Is there any criticism of HRC that's not "negative"?

[SHRED]

I'm so damn sick of that side whining like babies and treating us like shit when we share our concerns (and yes sometimes "attacks&quot with her coziness to big money, regime change, and the status quo.

Now Barney Frank is saying Bernie is going "negative".
Apparently Barney is more comfortable with her relatively recent stance against gay marriage than we are. Does he forget?

[Pharaoh]

1. I used to like Barney Frank

now he just seems to be a jerk....

[Art_from_Ark]

4. I remember watching him on C-SPAN during the Reagan years

He was someone I admired back then.
Now, not so much.

[PatrynXX]

17. yeah used to like him

we seem to be in opposite land. where up is down and down is up and liberal is conservative and Conservative is Liberal (er wouldn't go that far but it sorta goes that direction)

[2banon]

21. I liked him for about a minute some years ago, but then I saw that he was corrupt sob.

and that Dodd Frank bill is a Bankster's wet dream Imo. Had to put up with an interview experience on PBS News Hour tonight so he can defend Dodd Frank and explain how wonderful that bill is, and how useless Glass Steagal was, well, blathering on and on not saying anything at all really.

I can't stand him.

[Ned_Devine]

27. He's on the board of directors of New York-based Signature Bank

Just for some context

[2banon]

30. There you have it. Interesting that Judy Woodruff FAILED to mention that tidbit on the newscast

tonight.

[malokvale77]

31. Ditto. nt

[libdem4life]

2. The posting of actual videos and quotes has become "hating"

or "going negative" or "smears". If it's opinion, I can understand. But in the face of actual facts ..."Who are you going to believe...me or your lying eyes?" it boggles the mind.

It's the Coronation Acolytes.

5. ^^ this^^

9. double ^^This^^

[Doctor_J]

3. Actually all criticism of Hillary is "bashing" and "hatred"

Especially quoting her actual positions on healthcare, capital punishment, TPP, ttip, domestic spying, torture, gay marriage, dadt, doma, for profit prisons, and endless war in the middle east.

[SHRED]

8. No doubt

[Lorien]

20. True.

[malokvale77]

33. Not so funny thing is...

her position on all those things, makes her the hater.

[libdem4life]

41. Yep, on a Democratic site, it is bad to address a candidate's history?

What else is there, but "read my lips"...now.

Inconvenient facts create the hazy atmosphere of denial. And, the irrelevant one-liners.

[dana_b]

6. Bernie is going to say the truth and if that's "negative"

to them, then maybe they should look at why that is.

Barney Frank, Howard Dean, Barbara Boxer and so many more who have a close relationship with the Clintons (and the current Democratic party) need to open their minds as to why so many are not singing her praises. We are tired of being cast aside as second class citizens if we don't go along with their ideas as to what/how the party should be. Their ideas are no longer progressive nor beneficial to most of us.

[SHRED]

7. Yep

[delrem]

10. I think Barney Frank drank the kool-aid.

Took the money, or something.

Same with Al Franken. Good old Al, converted to the church of Supply Side Jesus

Isn't it all amazing! And I thought I knew these guys!

[SHRED]

11. Franken cheered on the Iraq invasion

He's good on some issues but he's a Blue Dog.

[delrem]

13. Well, he wrote the book on Supply Side Jesus.

I guess he finds that he likes it more and more.

In all it doesn't strike me that these people are very deep.
I mean, when the times demand a bit of fucking depth, they're failures.

[dogman]

14. He also criticized "weasel words".

Now he speaks the language.

[Capt.Rocky300]

12. Months ago I posted that Barney Frank was dead to me.......

after he became a member of the board of directors for a bank. I'm sure that bank has altruistic intentions for its customers.

[Ned_Devine]

28. He's on the board of directors of New York-based Signature Bank

15. At the start of the campaign season I was saying positive things about Hillary

but, had reservations about her leadership skills and thought she would make an excellent veep for Bernie.

Not anymore.

The things she and her team and her supporters here have done went a long way to convince me that she is not fit to haul garbage.

[malokvale77]

34. Absolutely...

I am friends with several garbage haulers. They have principles.

[Lorien]

16. She has nice hair

and she's a confident speaker. I just don't care for her policies, actions or the things that she says very much.

[Pharaoh]

22. when I see her at rallys/events

She seems really to not want to rub elbows with the common working people.

[SoapBox]

25. She even does any rallies?

Guess I missed them.

...I can't look at her anymore, in those Mao jackets.

[LovingA2andMI]

40. Never Seen Her Rallies

And the Gatherings are Small very small --- which makes it baffling about where those suppose amazing votes are coming from. Just amazing, indeed.

[farleftlib]

43. Like Shrub, she can't go out in public w/o meeting protesters

and that dispels the much-touted but ultimately false inevitability narrative. The Empress has no clothes. Plus I believe she's as thin-skinned as he is, she can't hack being reminded of what she truly is.

She only shows up at small venues with high-rolling donors because she doesn't want to associate with the rabble. I've heard her talk about the activist left and she loathes us.

[PatrynXX]

18. as for the negative fiction

I put it this way. What goes around comes around. It starts at the Hillary Camp and always has. They provoke we respond then poof welcome to Faux smh and yes many Hillary supporters watch Faux. Some are very very anti Obama

[Lorien]

19. Any fact about Hillary does tend to come across that way

simply because we're talking about facts about Hillary. Bernie is a boy scout compared to pretty much every politician since Carter. I think that's why they hate him so much; he is, as a GOP pundit once said "too clean, too honest, and has too long a record of always fighting for the middle class, which makes him almost impossible to beat in a fair election."

[Pharaoh]

23. ^this^

Bingo!

[SoapBox]

24. Yup...USED to think I liked him...then found out that he sold his soul to

corporate.

He's just another shill in an ever increasing Entrenched Elite & Cushy Establisment Turd Wayer list.

They really are in a panic, that their compfy boat, could get rocked by Bernie...make over $250,000 then they are panicking.

[democrank]

26. The short answer is NO.

Just get your ticket to the coronation and genuflect. Forget issues you believe in. Forget long-held principles. Support the machine. And, if you care about that Iraq War vote....remember....that was a long time ago. Get over it.

Treating us like "shit" is nothing new. It`s standard practice until just before election time when they need our vote to win. You could spend a whole day reading quotes from Corporate Headquarters about what they think of the party`s "radical" left.

[rusty quoin]

29. You guys need to cool off and work with what you have. It's messy but whatever

[SHRED]

36. "You guys"??

[area51]

32. This reminds me of the Truman quote:

"I never did give them hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell."

[cantbeserious]

35. Barney Sold Out - Plain And Simple

eom

[corbettkroehler]

37. So Many Good Deeds, So Much Amnesia

I used to love Chairman Frank. He represented the people of Massachusetts with zeal and vigor. Then, he retired and became another shill like Howard Dean.

Words fail to capture my disappointment.

Which candidate for president supported DOMA? Which one fought it?

[tk2kewl]

38. Hillary is "positively" corrupt

[Donkees]

39. Excerpt: "Negative" criticism...

"Any event, action, inaction, utterance, or thought, which negate or can be construed to negate the uniqueness or the grandiose superiority of the narcissist – humiliate him. Living in a big city, belonging to a group of peers, any sign of disapproval, disagreement, criticism, or remonstrance – reduce him to a state of insulted, sulking agitation.

The narcissist interprets everything as addressed to his person ("ad hominem&quot rather than to his actions. The list of things, real or imagined, by which a narcissist might be slighted is dizzying indeed. When contradicted, when deprived of special treatment, when subjected to an attitude or comment which he judges to contravene his grandiose, superior self-image or his sense of entitlement – he is beside himself with indignant rage.

[libdem4life]

42. Spot on. I married one ... which is probably why I'm so adamantly for

Bernie.

[hopemountain]

44. and nina wasn't letting that

goofball statement by barney get by her - to the point we could not really understand anything barney said from there - especially when he tried to shush her.

bernie and his surrogates are having to endure so much shit from the pundits and hillary "supporters" on msm - but, they are so dedicated and committed to the campaign, they are doing what it takes.

i've witnessed the most ridiculous statements, questions and insinuations by the pundits - not only toward nina, but alan grayson, keith ellison, and even tulsi gabbard. they handle it with strength and are a credit to bernie, the campaign and the american voters. chris hayes has lost all integrity in my eyes and rachel has gone completely goofy.
