Ok Mr. Progressive dude. sufrommich Jul 2015 #6

Yeah, a pharmaceutical exists, as does a procedure. SusanCalvin Jul 2015 #127

"...he said the 'tone' of the staffer in the first video 'was terribly wrong.'" Petrushka Jul 2015 #4

His comment about "tone" isn't the problem.His silence is. nt sufrommich Jul 2015 #5

If that's the case, what prompted you to BOLD that particular sentence in the article? Petrushka Jul 2015 #12

What is he listening for? Is PP under attack or not? sufrommich Jul 2015 #14

You might do better to question the FIGHTER concerning HER extended silence on the matter. I mean: Petrushka Jul 2015 #20

Hillary Clinton Defends Embattled Planned Parenthood sufrommich Jul 2015 #22

Why didn't she say something sooner . . . on the 17th, for instance? Petrushka Jul 2015 #34

it takes time to gather focus groups and to poll test phrases.... virtualobserver Jul 2015 #56

Clinton's have supported PP fully for a lifetime....but you already knew that. Inexplicable comment. Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #59

the comment was about why it took so long for her to speak NOW virtualobserver Jul 2015 #61

Well, she has been kind of busy fending off all the fake attacks on her lately, left and right, if one would kindly notice. Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #66

'Too busy' to say a paragraph? AgingAmerican Jul 2015 #183

So has Sanders. n/t arcane1 Jul 2015 #103

Agreed, and that is the problem, because the focus should be on ending the GOP and media insanity. Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #184

He's not been silent. ColesCountyDem Jul 2015 #13

He certainly has been silent.Please link to his comments on sufrommich Jul 2015 #16

From the article itself: ColesCountyDem Jul 2015 #17

exactly, it makes no sense to defend wrong behavior.... virtualobserver Jul 2015 #63

He would have done better to remain silent. okasha Jul 2015 #122

He used the same language the director of Planned Parenthood used. ColesCountyDem Jul 2015 #125

Irrelevant. okasha Jul 2015 #128

To the contrary, it's entirely relevant. ColesCountyDem Jul 2015 #132

Simple. okasha Jul 2015 #135

Oh, horse poop! ColesCountyDem Jul 2015 #137

Also irrelevant. okasha Jul 2015 #139

Again, horse poop! ColesCountyDem Jul 2015 #140

Deal with it. okasha Jul 2015 #142

I'll deal with it by laughing. ColesCountyDem Jul 2015 #143

Whatever. okasha Jul 2015 #144

Some times, that's the only way to get the point across. ColesCountyDem Jul 2015 #146

Very, very true. okasha Jul 2015 #158

PLUS ONE, a huge bunch! Enthusiast Jul 2015 #160

If Sen. Sanders walked on water, there are some people who would say he can't swim. ColesCountyDem Jul 2015 #148

They did the same thing to Obama in 2008. beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #149

Oh, I well remember. n/t ColesCountyDem Jul 2015 #151

There must be many progressives who do not favour or even like to go along with Joe Chi Minh Jul 2015 #33

You have many very nasty things to say about other people's sex lives, very Republican of you.... Bluenorthwest Jul 2015 #70

That's an interesting post. Oh, well, another day online. n/t freshwest Jul 2015 #164

The malady considers itself the remedy. LiberalAndProud Jul 2015 #124

What? BainsBane Jul 2015 #37

The silence is strategic Vattel Jul 2015 #7

Planned Parenthood is about to be ACORN'd to death. sufrommich Jul 2015 #8

You have a point, but a strategic mistake is a different issue than MH1 Jul 2015 #19

EXACT same plot as ACORN, this time folks have to grow a pair and call a lie a lie! Everyone! Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #26

FYI Fred, only 7 Senators voted against the attack on ACORN, one of whom was Bernie Sanders Bluenorthwest Jul 2015 #75

I believe most of the complaints against ACORN were contrived and Enthusiast Jul 2015 #170

Didn't the President and the Attorney General have a hand in the demise of ACORN? Enthusiast Jul 2015 #168

The President did not ask Van Jones to resign...the problem with people is amnesia a lot of the time. Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #169

That is why a women's right to choose is on its last legs because Democrats haven't been forceful still_one Jul 2015 #18

THIS! Thank you, Still One. bettyellen Jul 2015 #76

And it looks like the stratetgy paid off rocktivity Jul 2015 #49

But you won't see customized headlines complaining about Obama's "silence" on the issue. arcane1 Jul 2015 #109

He no doubt sees it as a "side" issue. Popcorn 51 Jul 2015 #9

Speaking of always attacking... SoapBox Jul 2015 #10

Now, now, Bernie supporters are the only ones that do attack posts. I know, A Simple Game Jul 2015 #58

Shutting down PP has been the GOPers plan for PP for sometime. Iliyah Jul 2015 #23

Clinton has spoken out forcibly against the criminal propagandists who did the video. Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #25

OMG! Sanders agreed with PP's President! Jim Lane Jul 2015 #24

You know that is not correct, you know it was not about "tone" and PP said much, much more. Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #27

I have no basis for disagreeing with what Planned Parenthood said. Jim Lane Jul 2015 #38

PP has implied that the distorted videos from GOP political operatives are a mendacious abortion of truth. Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #41

I swear... JackInGreen Jul 2015 #28

Needing constant reassurance about a candidate's stance on every issue... bobbobbins01 Jul 2015 #32

It's not reassurance or "stand" BainsBane Jul 2015 #39

He took the same stance as planned parenthood bobbobbins01 Jul 2015 #42

So PP staff have to be aware that GOP operatives might have a hidden camera on them at all times?? Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #44

Unfortunately, yes. They're a lightning rod for this kind of thing, so they need to be mindful. bobbobbins01 Jul 2015 #45

Nonsense. Besides, the issue is the massive fraudulent attack on PP, and intelligence, being committed by the GOP, am I right? Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #47

Of course you're right. But that doesn't mean they can't be more careful. bobbobbins01 Jul 2015 #54

Got it. So, agreed, OK?.....So shall we move on to the full frontal attack on PP instead of avoid the issue, shall we? Fred Sanders Jul 2015 #57

So shall I send out a press release? That'll stop em! bobbobbins01 Jul 2015 #62

How are the attacks on planned parenthood a non-issue? BainsBane Jul 2015 #48

I didn't say the attacks were a non-issue bobbobbins01 Jul 2015 #55

I'm not attempting anything BainsBane Jul 2015 #73

What someone did 40 years ago doesn't matter much at all. bobbobbins01 Jul 2015 #85

Bernie group certainly do put a lot of weight on words said decades ago Sheepshank Jul 2015 #92

There's a difference between "for 40 years" and "40 years ago", and you know that. arcane1 Jul 2015 #116

"Hillary Clinton - Everything is Priority #1" great campaign slogan. Completely void of meaning. Ed Suspicious Jul 2015 #111

How can I view this video with the staffer's inappropriate "tone." BainsBane Jul 2015 #40

I heard it. Bernie did not. Which is what he actually says, which is that he agreed with Planned Bluenorthwest Jul 2015 #72

Why does he say it was right if he didn't see the video? BainsBane Jul 2015 #74

I think saying 'I have not seen the video but I agree with the leaders involved' is the only right Bluenorthwest Jul 2015 #80

This isn't about disagreeing with Richards,everybody has sufrommich Jul 2015 #86

Sanders will say it's an economic issue, if anything Politicub Jul 2015 #46

sanders has an excellent record restorefreedom Jul 2015 #53

But this thread is about defense of Planned Parenthood Politicub Jul 2015 #79

those are my words of course restorefreedom Jul 2015 #82

Somehow I don't think a woman's right to chose is the top issue for women of the 1%. jalan48 Jul 2015 #67

Another dishonest post. arcane1 Jul 2015 #110

Why is Hillary Clinton so quiet on her pro-fracking, pro-TPP, pro-Keystone, pro-CCA stands????? marble falls Jul 2015 #51
