98. You guys never miss a chance to drag out the old "sexism" card.

Don't you realize how that diminishes your candidate? I don't think she needs this kind of "protection" from opposition. It's very demeaning and I'm betting it pisses her off royally when this "defense" is rolled out by her so-called supporters.

Any criticism of Hillary is automatically a sexist criticism. Got it. JudyM Apr 2016 #67

Really. SusanCalvin Apr 2016 #43

It's been over-used here and it loses some of its legitimacy in doing so. nt revbones Apr 2016 #50

The problem with this gendered argument, as all--they only have negative effects on women. TheBlackAdder Apr 2016 #104

Because the W.P. Never ran headlines saying that Kerry had said that Bernie was unqualifided awake Apr 2016 #5

Bernie's problem is he only reads headlines and speaks in headlines. pnwmom Apr 2016 #10

What ever enjoy the rest of the night awake Apr 2016 #13

Did Kerry give a 19 minute speech sadoldgirl Apr 2016 #7

Hillary didn't. She spoke in favor of a IWR that she mistakenly thought would only be used pnwmom Apr 2016 #9

She makes an awful lot of mistakes. frylock Apr 2016 #15

She is the queen Bjornsdotter Apr 2016 #102

She was also involved in Syria, Libya, Honduras, Afghanistan Doctor_J Apr 2016 #41

Blah, blah, blah. n/t pnwmom Apr 2016 #48

Are you one of Hillary's speech writers? Doctor_J Apr 2016 #54

That may be the most logical reply I've ever seen from that poster. frylock Apr 2016 #79

One person's critical issues are another's blah blah blah I guess Doctor_J Apr 2016 #83

Hillary has very poor Bjornsdotter Apr 2016 #55

"Mistakenly thought" dflprincess Apr 2016 #75

"doesn�t change the fact that she did not say what he directly quoted her as saying. " seabeyond Apr 2016 #11

because Kerry didn't say he (Sanders) was unqualified JI7 Apr 2016 #12

ironic that her saying he didn't do his homework led to him lashing out rashly geek tragedy Apr 2016 #14

no it was him thinking she actually said "unqualified" JI7 Apr 2016 #18

He shouldn't have been "thinking." He should have checked the facts before spouting off. n/t pnwmom Apr 2016 #21

That is the real difference between Clinton and Sanders as POLITICAL candidates.... revmclaren Apr 2016 #36

yes, because he didn't do his homework and read past the headline nt geek tragedy Apr 2016 #35

i blame it on weaver and Devine JI7 Apr 2016 #38

yet he has them out there doubling and tripling down on this geek tragedy Apr 2016 #44

Isn't it though! Lucinda Apr 2016 #93

And he thought that because the Washinton Post said that she said it awake Apr 2016 #17

That was how they paraphrased it. Anyone with any sense would check the actual text pnwmom Apr 2016 #24

Hillary didn't say that. Sanders should apologize but of course he won't. n/t pnwmom Apr 2016 #19

Yeah, that's it, everybody cares about the word on your side, not about the substance. revbones Apr 2016 #25

Bernie didn't care enough about the substance to read past the false headline. pnwmom Apr 2016 #39

It's just hilarious you guys are all up in arms over the word "unqualified" revbones Apr 2016 #46

You're ignoring my OP while you answer it. Very strange. pnwmom Apr 2016 #52

The OP is pretty stupid. revbones Apr 2016 #57

Hillary NEVER said he was unqualified and didn't IMPLY he was unqualified. pnwmom Apr 2016 #58

Oh whatever. She certainly did. revbones Apr 2016 #59

She wasn't being passive aggressive. She was merely refusing to directly answer pnwmom Apr 2016 #60

Oh really? Did she say "I refuse to answer such a silly question"? revbones Apr 2016 #61

Her answer was fine. Bernie should have read her actual words instead of just a headline. pnwmom Apr 2016 #63

So no, she didn't refuse to answer the question then did she? revbones Apr 2016 #64

Completely selfish reasons. Nt NCTraveler Apr 2016 #20

Pre Citizens United Motown_Johnny Apr 2016 #22

She didn't imply that he wasn't qualified. She directed the reporter's attention pnwmom Apr 2016 #26

She was asked 3 times if she thought he was qualified and she didn't say yes. Motown_Johnny Apr 2016 #68

It wasn't her job to compliment him. She directed the reporter's attention to specifics about issues pnwmom Apr 2016 #74

Stating a fact is not giving a compliment. Motown_Johnny Apr 2016 #81

And she stated facts. She just avoided being drawn by the reporter pnwmom Apr 2016 #84

Legally, each of them are qualified. Motown_Johnny Apr 2016 #86

Let me manage this for you Prism Apr 2016 #27

No, that is a very poor analogy. They weren't asking her if he had done some terrible thing. pnwmom Apr 2016 #45

Oh please. SusanCalvin Apr 2016 #80

It was the opposite. She wouldn't give them what they wanted, pnwmom Apr 2016 #85

Oh please. SusanCalvin Apr 2016 #88

Nope, she didn't give an inch. But they took it anyway. And then Bernie looked gullible pnwmom Apr 2016 #89

Obviously we see it differently. nt SusanCalvin Apr 2016 #96

Exactly. nt SusanCalvin Apr 2016 #47

Because Kerry wasn't as odious as Clinton ibegurpard Apr 2016 #28

If the HRC supporters don't know sadoldgirl Apr 2016 #29

Hillary joined Obama's campaign and worked very hard for him. pnwmom Apr 2016 #32

I'm sure he will if he does. But he hasn't yet. nt SusanCalvin Apr 2016 #51

Did Kerry claim anyone was unqualified to run? davidn3600 Apr 2016 #31

He said it about Donald trump JI7 Apr 2016 #34

Kerry is a man. nt LexVegas Apr 2016 #33

I forget. what year did Sanders run against Kerry in the primary? Doctor_J Apr 2016 #37

Because he didn't make as many bad judgements Jarqui Apr 2016 #40

Kerry is male... soooooo uponit7771 Apr 2016 #42

Nope. Lazy response. morningfog Apr 2016 #71

I don't believe Sanders is a unique politician and don't listen to podium birds so... uponit7771 Apr 2016 #73

He wasn't running against John Kerry KingFlorez Apr 2016 #49

Because it wasn't in Sander's duty to himself The Second Stone Apr 2016 #53

Maybe because Kerry didn't argue that Sanders was unqualified? Or because Marr Apr 2016 #56

Hillary never said that he wasn't qualified. Some headline writer used those words pnwmom Apr 2016 #62

She argued that he's unqualified, whether she personally used the word 'unqualified' or not. Marr Apr 2016 #78

ummmm. maybe because John Kerry didn't attack him first? RazBerryBeret Apr 2016 #65

It was HC's team that made the original "threat" TheFarS1de Apr 2016 #66

He wasn't attacked by Kerry as his opponent. Easy question. morningfog Apr 2016 #70

Because John Kerry never said 'Disqualify Him, Defeat Him, Unify Party Later' about Sanders Matariki Apr 2016 #76

Link to Hillary saying that? We'll wait. n/t Lucinda Apr 2016 #94

I'm going with he wasn't running against Kerry or Press Virginia Apr 2016 #77

And the 1992 presidential candidate and liberal icon Tom Harkin also voted for the Iraq resolution. CBHagman Apr 2016 #87

He wasn't running against Kerry choie Apr 2016 #91

Because Sanders wasn't running against Kerry or Biden mythology Apr 2016 #92

Why didn't Hillary say that when Kerry took over at the State Dept? ViseGrip Apr 2016 #95

Why did tad devine defend John Kerry's vote on the IRW? Cha Apr 2016 #97

You guys never miss a chance to drag out the old "sexism" card. Vinca Apr 2016 #98

Because Bernie was not Kerry's primary rival and because Kerry never said ignorant crap like this: Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #99

As far as the Wall Street money, it's quite a bit different now than before the 2007 crash. brewens Apr 2016 #101
