Did Bernie run a negative ad?

[ybbor]

I was in the HRC group, poking around to check the mood, and someone posted about Bernie running a negative ad, but there was no link to it. Did he, or did he simply run an add with truthful information that does not show her in a good light?

Anyone have any idea?

Thanks in advance!

1. It might be this one mentioned re: Wall Street

4. How Dare Bernie mention that Hill's taken more Wall $t. money than anyone.

It would be a "dirty politics" to mention that inconvenient FACT.

[ybbor]

6. Thanks

I don't know if I would call it a negative ad though. As I suspected, telling the truth and showing her in a good light.

[LiberalElite]

22. I just watched it and it absolutely

is NOT a negative ad. If the Hillbots don't like it maybe HRH shouldn't have done the negative actions that make this seem like a negative ad when it is only pointing out what she did. IOW it's not the ad it's her actions.

2. It's an ad with truthful information. He didn't even mention her name.

It points out two different visions for dealing with Wall Street. One vision - take their money and tell them what to do; Bernie's vision, reject their money and hold them accountable.

7. Just watched it

Agree with you 100%

3. It's subjective

It does compare Bernie's plan with an un-named democratic opponent. My opinion is no...the ad is fine.

5. it looks to me as if they are trying to lay the groundwork for a "he started it argument"

when they start ramping up their lies

[ybbor]

8. It does indeed

And she has been doing it for a while

[winter is coming]

19. Which means they must be planning on rolling out something pretty egregious. n/t

[LiberalElite]

20. He didn't start a goddamned thing - (I don't mean this for yu tk2kewl)

SHE started it by taking donations from Wall Street. So now, no one's supposed to point that out even obliquely?

[tk2kewl]

21. According to some that's going "negative"

[retrowire]

9. He could be talking about any other democratic candidate in that ad.

Doesn't O'Malley accept money from big interests as well?

So really, if the Hillary Supporters are going to take this personally, they've got a victim complex going on.

24. "a guilty conscience needs no accuser." Great quote from mom.

25. Kinda like a thread in the Hillary group that has me laughing today

William is screaming foul that people in the locked thread about jackass radicals are hinting that William's Hillary support forum is behind it. Well, guess what...nobody in that thread hinted at his forum...just at a couple of posters here on DU. And he is jumping up and down screaming "I didn't do it".

Talk about a guilty conscience.

In his guilt thread, he says his site is to support Hillary and help her get elected, as opposed to denigrating other democrats like Jackpine radicals does. Guess what? His group is consistently denigrating Bernie in their Primary forum. He is delusional...he cannot see what's right in front of his nose.

The more I see from these guys, the more I am starting to feel sorry for them. You bet your patootie, right now the Hillary group is running with this Bernie is the first to go negative shit. And I guess that means that saying Bernie's health care plan sucks and even having her daughter attack him for it is not an attack ad. They are not telling the truth and that is attacking.

He just told the truth and didn't name any names and they are freaking out.

I'm kinda curious about something. The majority of the dems on DU are more progressive and support Bernie. If the corporatist third way dems are so upset with the numbers of people here who support Bernie, and some of them have gone so overboard that they go to the trouble of starting a jackass radical spoof forum, then why the hell are they still here on a site that is predominantly far more progressive than they are. Why don't they start their own new DLC forum or something and just get away from all this stuff that is pissing them off so much. I mean skinner could do that. Start a second DU that is just for conservtive dems.

I'm not asking or even suggesting they go. I'm just wondering why they want to hang around. This is not a comfortable home for them any more and it's becoming obvious many of them just can't handle it. I feel sorry for them. Anyone that would be so upset by a Bernie forum offshoot that they have to produce a childish spoof to mock them...I mean to put that much effort into it, is bordering on some kind of personality disorder or something. And hanging around a group that is not a comfortable place for you, can only aggravate that kind of behavior.

OK...nuff said. Maybe I shouldn't even post this, but after seeing the jackass site, I'm really wondering what is going on here wit DU. Are we really splitting into two groups that don't belong in the same forum?

28. I like all you've said here

Good read. Thx

29. +several brazillion

I don't know why anything happens anymore...live Darwin experiments?

31. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

I read that thread, and I couldn't stop laughing. Talking trash about JPR, when anyone with eyes can see it's nothing but lies. I read over on the HCS forum and it truly is nasty.

But, I figure the vast majority of HRC "supporters" are just paid operatives, combined with a lot of people with mental health issues sprinkled in among the rare person who actually believes she will win. Not worth my time even thinking about.

[dorkzilla]

11. They have a finely-honed victim complex

[draa]

12. Only campaign in trouble would see that ad as a problem.

The smell of desperation from the Clinton camp is delightful.

[ybbor]

16. Yes indeed

[Cassiopeia]

13. "One says it's ok to take millions from big banks

and then tell them what to do."

That's it, nothing more about HRH. He didn't claim she took more than anyone etc, just that she's taken money from wall street.

If this is an attack, then I imagine they would think a pillow fight is nuclear war.

Here's the ad:

[ljm2002]

14. No he did not...

...it is hard hitting but factual, does not mention Clinton by name, does not make any derogatory remarks about her or her character, does not make any claim other than what is plain as day.

Give 'em Hell Bernie!

15. As political ads go, it's a fucking Valentine.

[ybbor]

18. Yep

Pretty darn tame in my opinion

[Proserpina]

23. I cannot fathom the Clinton Group's actions

nor can I imagine how they will get through the primary season. At the rate they are decompensating, it is either a stroke or a mass murder/suicide in the making.

Such mood swings as they display are signalling a need for medication, or a reality check, or both. It isn't healthy, and it isn't pretty, and it isn't art. It's just like those idiots in Oregon.

[passiveporcupine]

26. I agree...but

did you mean decompensating or decomposing?

[Proserpina]

30. If they were decomposing, the problem would solve itself in short order

[azmom]

27. Hillary's campaign is so dishonest. Bernie has

Not gone negative. They are becoming one big joke.
