That surrogate that used "Corporate Whores"

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

I'm worried that is going to be used against the Sanders campaign

Why did he use that term

[Phlem]

1. Bernie is extremely the opposite of a "Corporate Politician"

It would be amusing to see how they'd get that to stick.

2. I mean because Whores is a sexist term...

They are gonna paint that as being the Sanders campaign condoning sexist language. It was the Korean Oncologist who said it.

3. Only a desperate, dishonest person would attempt that.

So sure, they'll try

But I'm not worried. Conservatives tried to feign offense when one of Jerry Brown's staffers made such a (correct) reference to Meg Whitman, and they were mocked for it.

4. Any supporter will say shit be it Bernie or Hillary supporters.

As long as Bernie didn't say it or condone it, there's not much to worry about.

That being said, the truth hurts don't it?

It's a very common term meaning a very specific thing and I've heard it used in general for Wall Street workers and other people in the white collar industry not specific to gender, waaaaaaaayyyyyy before this election.

Trying to tie that to Bernie could backfire really bad.

5. Well it feels like Clinton Campaign has been licking its chops...

Every time any Sanders people say anything that has a sexist word in it. There is already a thread on it in GDP by a Hillary supporter:

6. Do you REALLY care what they think?

I sure as shit don't.

7. Yeah, that was wrong

8. Meh I don't care what the poo flingers say

They keep flinging poo and then claim their hands are clean. Yet, I am not willing to shake those hands for some reason.
