Hillary Clinton

If the Sanders folks thought Clinton supporters and Clinton played rough, there's a rude awakening for ya.
I am not going to link to it because it's rightwing horseshit and nakedly bigoted.
At least the Bernie Twitterverse will have something to really focus their ire on today.

(1,968 posts)No, I wouldn't link to that either, she did just about everything but use four letter smears.
However, that's what he can look forward to in the generals, if not much worse.

(22,048 posts)Thanks, geek, for bringing Ms. Peyser's column to our attention. It's important to read some of the opinions from contrasting points of view. It helps provide understanding of the opposition's thinking and focuses context of the field of battle we Democrats are on.

Ms. Peyser is an acerbic, bigoted ignoramus but she has a pulpit and an audience.

(1,968 posts)I loved the bit about Planet #9, which we haven't yet discovered and confirmed, and which wouldn't ever approach closer to our planet than about 200 AU (a bloody long way). Plus it would have long since cleared its section of the Oort Cloud, rendering the body itself pretty harmless over anything but the extreme long term.
Just that bit of pseudo-scientific chicanery was enough to prove to me that she has no clue.

(7,480 posts)It's disgusting tripe from a right wing loon.
geek tragedy
(68,868 posts)merely an observation of the nasty stuff that's out there that Sanders has not yet faced that Clinton has. I explicitly rejected the contents of the piece as bigoted in refusing to link or quote.
If group hosts want me to self-delete, I will however.
Stand and Fight
(7,480 posts)I just don't think this is the kind of tactic that our candidate -- Hillary Clinton -- would agree with. This is the same sort of thing that they've been doing on the Bernie side. I think it's wrong when they do it and I think it's wrong when we do it. We can, and should, do better.

(68,868 posts)I am not citing it for approval. I'm explicitly rejecting it.
if people want to know what's going on here, that's part of it.

I'm not trying to legitimize this in any way. I swear.

(4,640 posts)that is a NASTY piece of work, that article. I know you didn't post it, but it was linked to down thread.

(8,013 posts)in respect to how Sanders would start to be treated if he won the nomination. Notice that he was called "geriatric" too.
He will have to deal with criticism of this sort, just as Hillary has had to deal with unfair and sick crap such as being suspected of murders and drug running. I even still see that in GDP occasionally from the Sanders supporters.
If this was about Hillary the Sanders supporters would be all over it.. touting as yet another reason to dump on her. I see nothing wrong with it the way it's presented. None of us have agreed with it, certainly.
geek tragedy
(68,868 posts)it's either extreme cynicism or extreme naivete for them to act like the wingnuts wouldn't learn to hate him in record time

(8,013 posts)They're oblivious to the fact that he will be hammered mercilessly.
