In reply to the discussion: Bernie rally: calling Hillary a "corporate whore" ... "drag her!!!" (Hillary Group) [View all]Cha
(298,963 posts)50. Wow.. I just found out..
"The speaker was Dr. Paul Song, a healthcare advocate, and executive chairman of the Courage Campaign, who is married to actress Lisa Ling. Song has now apologized, after his words blew up the Internet."

Note that Song did not simply use the word whore, but they added the word Democrat.
There are a few problems here.
1. When youre opponent is a woman, its probably not a good idea to call the people youre running against whores.
2. Throwing in the word Democratic before the word whore makes things even worse. Some on Twitter are claiming that Sanders speaker simply meant corporate whores. But thats not what they said they said Democratic whores. That was meant as a slur against Democrats generally, from someone who isnt a Democrat, and doesnt like Democrats.
So the question remains whether Sanders agrees with his speaker at his own rally that Democrats are whores generally, or whether there are specific Democratic whores who Bernie Sanders has a problem with Congress, President Obama, and/or Hillary Clinton herself?

If we can just get Sanders arrested once somehow, maybe he'll disappear for another 40 years? nt
