I do not think Bernie disrespected Jane!

[CTyankee]

I've seen that video over and over and looked at it carefully. It looks like there was confusion and with the roaring of the crowd, perhaps a bit awkward. Then Bernie gestures with his right arm downward and Jane's eyes follow his gesture and looks downward.

I have looked for the video and can't find it. If someone could post it you'd would see what I am talking about...

[grasswire]

1. it's ludicrous of Clinton camp to even talk about men demeaning women.

Hello!

America was beleaguered by months and months and months of Bill's sexual escapades in the White House, and Hillary's attacks on the women who were assaulted by him.

[Baobab]

36. These things show how desperate the other group is to - well,

divide and conquer..

Its kind of pathetic.

this shows how STRONG real democracy is, and how we can build a strong country after all this by building bridges, not dividing people.

Common sense is all it takes.

[artislife]

42. Especially her attacks

They might be the definition of a co-dependent couple.

[Svafa]

2. No one does, except for those who are desperate

to find *something* to criticize him for.

[Else You Are Mad]

3. Hillary has to..

Frame Sanders as a misogynist and as a disrespectful asshole... otherwise her newest attack against him that his tone is too harsh and such needs to be turned down won't work.

[ViseGrip]

4. I thnk he was alerting her to the side of the podium they used to tape all the electrical cords down

They don't tape them in the middle where the speaker stands. Sometimes there are many cords. All taped down. I usually see her on his other side, and already thought, they use the other side for the cords. I think he was alerting her to a 'safety issue' and didn't want anything to happen to that wonderful partner of his.

[Svafa]

6. That's an interesting point.

I assumed he was making sure she was out of range of his gesticulations.

[questionseverything]

27. obviously since as soon as he tells her to move he flings his hands right where she was standing

this is the silliest line of attack i have ever seen

[JDPriestly]

57. That makes sense. She is used to him.

As a woman who has been married to the same man for 52 years, I will say that after many years of marriage (27 for Bernie and Jane), you learn to communicate with each other by gestures and just looks that can easily be misunderstood by outsiders to the relationship.

You don't stay married for 27 years unless you are pretty used to the way that you interact with each other. This gesture by Bernie was understood by Jane. Very doubtful that she felt in any way disrespected. She appears to be 100 % on his side and happy with him.

Hillary has been treated far more disrespectfully by Bill. We all know the stories.

[Gwhittey]

5. What I think was a issue

Was that she was too close for a open public speech. He is being guarded by several Secret Service Agents and they have clear cut guidelines on having a clear line of site and access to a speaker depending on the situation.

[LiberalElite]

7. I hesitate to ask but what is

this about? Thanks!

[noiretextatique]

8. Bernie being mean to his wife...another non-issue

That some are trying to make into an issue. There is a tbread in GD now.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

22. If they want it that way there's all sorts of stuff on Bill

I think they should leave this well alone

[Baobab]

37. Hillary should consider withdrawing from the race

Nobody would fault her for doing so.

[CTyankee]

10. sorry about not having a link for you. It'll be up soon and perhaps will be on Morning Joe

tomorrow. It is unbelievable that Bernie would disrespect Jane!

[1monster]

9. Link please? I haven't a clue what this thread is about and would like to know...

[CTyankee]

11. I'm so sorry. I could not find a link...please somebody, if you find it post it!

[1monster]

13. Okay, but context? What is the story? where did it happen; where is it

being discussed (other than this thread), etc.

This thread was the first thing I've seen on the issue.

[CTyankee]

14. Bernie at the rally (I think Portland) and the crowd is roaring as he speaks. Jane appears

at his side on the right and then Bernie, who like many New Yorkers "tallks with his hands" and gestures to make his point, is seen to either restrain h er from joining him at his side or ...what? Some say he even said "don't stand beside me."

I didn't hear that AT ALL! He was gesturing with his arm pointed in a downward slant, as if to say "look at...???" and her eyes follow his gesture.

The very idea that Bernie would even treat his wife that way, esp. in PUBLIC, is ludicrous. It is vicious and it has to stop.

That is why I posted this. We have to get the truth out! We are winning over converts every day and the knives are out for Bernie. Of course, because his message is resonating!

[1monster]

15. I just found the video. All he said was "don't stand there."

As it looked like he just missed whacking her in the face at least twice with his wide gestures, it sounds like good advice to me...

[CTyankee]

18. Can you post the link?

[1monster]

21. It's just below this post.

[CTyankee]

23. thanks, 1monster! I guess I was looking too early but that's IT!

Sigh,I guess us Bernistas can expect this treatment now that our guy is winning so many voters over with his strong message.

[1monster]

17. Here's the link

[LiberalElite]

44. What bullshit - she's at his side all the time nt

[senz]

58. It sounded like he said, "Don't say that." The other lady had approached her

and they said something while he was starting his speech.

Clearly, it is no big deal.

David Brock's Blue Nation Review will use any little thing to smear Bernie with.

What an ugly campaign Hill runs.

[Blue_In_AK]

24. I saw one link by a poster with the name T****d,

but it got hidden, 5-2.

[1monster]

28. Yeah, I saw that one, but, considering the name of the video, chose

to post another link.

[nc4bo]

12. The whining coming from the camp of Bill Clinton's wife. Ha.Ha.Ha.

Do they really want to go there?!

[jillan]

16. They have sunk to the level of Donald Trump. Using the opponents wife as a line of attack rather

than debating the issues.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

19. Hillary's camp is getting desperate.

[wendylaroux]

20. My whole family is like this,we are abrupt,we don't beat around the bush,

everything is quick and no nonsense.

Is it okay that people are all different?

[dorkzilla]

25. Mine too

Can't believe they're making this into a "thing".

[wendylaroux]

26. Funny, is it not?

every time I watch Bernie I see my late father. Soo much alike.

[dorkzilla]

30. He's got all my step-dad's gestures

And Jane looks like a lot like my mom. I say it's about time the First Family looks like a "typical" Irish & Jewish mashup!

[wendylaroux]

32. You got that right!!! I love it!!

[Baobab]

38. Finally a real person running for office.

If we don't elect Bernie, so many people will be so alienated. its not going to be a good thing.
To take all that good positive energy and trample it into the mud.

[wendylaroux]

39. Their will so many people

in mourning if this good man does not make it.I don't even want to think about it.

[LiberalElite]

45. His speech was in progress and - remember - he's a NEW YORKER born and bred

unlike the Queen who's from the Midwest and lives in an expensive NYC suburb.

[jillan]

29. I just watched it, he told her to not stand there and she moved to his other side. Then they cut it.

[left-of-center2012]

31. Hillary's losing young women voters

She has to attack Bernie on women.

[Bernin4U]

33. ZOMG! Bernie! How could he?!

First, let's see Hillary show her face in public a few times a month. Bernie's doing it a few times a day!

Y'all need to give up on GDPee. Nothing good there. Why not let them have the circle jerk to themselves?

[Donkees]

34. It's the Madison Rally @ right after the 26: mark

[Donkees]

35. +this

[Autumn]

48. Wow just WOW

[Autumn]

49. I'm stealing that and posting it in all those threads.

[desmiller]

51. Looking forward to it.

[senz]

55. lol, do it sister!

It's obvious she is easily offended and holds grudges. I don't know what keeps that couple together.

[Autumn]

56. I already did. All kidding aside, I found that video very sad.

I think what keeps them together is her quest for the White House.

[senz]

59. Could be. They just want a chance to relive their glory days.

They sure as heck aren't interested in doing anything for the American people. The complete opposite of Bernie Sanders.

[Rebkeh]

40. Has anyone bothered to ask Jane how she feels? Nt

[CTyankee]

41. That's a good question!

[artislife]

43. Seems like Jane is another woman hills doesn't actually want to clear up an incident.

How demeaning is that camp?

[smokey nj]

46. I'm surprised they care so much about Jane since they're always bashing her.

They even had a forum dedicated to bashing Jane on their hate site.

[Dont call me Shirley]

47. It looked like once Bernie said that to Jane she realized what he was trying to say and said "oh"

moved a step back, then she laughed and turned around to look at the audience behind her.

[eridani]

50. I think it was something about the Secret Sevice needing their lines of sight free n/t

[TheFarS1de]

52. The only thing I took from it

was a couple having a brief discussion , anything else they read into it is petty at best .

[malokvale77]

53. I'm sorry...

but do they really want to compare Bernie to whore dog Bill.

I'm ashamed that my party has gone down that path.

[blueintelligentsia]

54. No, he's a monster....wink wink....n/t

[deepestblue]

60. Well

It's manufactured b/s, because they've got nothing else.

[deepestblue]

61. Well part 2

First they tried to get him to drop out. Which drew a hearty laugh from the millions of Sanders supporters.

Then he won with 70 to 80 percent of the vote in the three states on Saturday.

Then they started to panic.

Then they rolled out the latest in the folder, 'attack him for x, y, and z.'

It's laughable at best.
