So Team Hillary is using the Pope to hide the fact that Bill's racist roots are showing?

[Joe the Revelator]

This is a funny primary.

[KingFlorez]

1. Clinton didn't have to do a damn thing

Once again, it's Sanders own claims that have gotten him into trouble. The biggest mouths always get into the most trouble.

[revbones]

3. Yeah, getting an invited to the Vatican conference just shot him in the foot it did...

[KingFlorez]

9. He asked for the invite and then claimed as if the Vatican invited him out of the blue

That's where the lie comes in.

[revbones]

13. Did he say the Vatican just invited him out of the blue? Nope.

If you're going to be exact on the language then be exact. All the claims Hillary didn't say "disqualified" seemed to be centered on that she didn't use the actual word. So tell me the exact words he used that said that.

Also, even if what you said was true and he solicited it, it doesn't diminish the invitation or change the fact that Clinton doesn't have one...

It also doesn't help disprove any of Clinton's moral failings.

[katsy]

19. So? Better than asking for a few hundred thousand

$$$$ from Wall Street for giving a speech.

He asked for an invite and its good he wants to listen. Who gives a fuck this isn't a secret elitist club hiding in the corners or putting out noise machines so what they say can't be heard by the public.

It's disingenuous to see this in a bad light.

ON EDIT:

THAT HE INVITED HIMSELF DEBUNKED

[roguevalley]

23. that's been debunked by the Vatican. Keep up

[riderinthestorm]

31. Debunked by the Vatican chancellor nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Actually the Vatican already debunked that

pretty lie of yours. That is what I find hysterical, yes, this is a deflect from Bill's racism

[NWCorona]

8. People aren't trying to see what would prove them wrong lol

[Joe the Revelator]

5. Give me a break, this is the biggest non-issue in the history of issues.

[NWCorona]

Oh Well.....

[NWCorona]

2. Actually I was just thinking that

They so don't want to talk about Bill.
So why not drum up a fake controversy.

Good post!

[dubyadiprecession]

6. He better not run for President or the republicans might...

exploit that.

[peacebird]

10. That is exactly it, but sadly their latest artful smear is alrady debunked by the Vatican...

Wheels definitely coming off the Clinton Campaign car.....

[riversedge]

18. Sanders name drops the pope-the Vatican calls him on his big fish story-Sanders falls back.

Sanders said, “this is an invitation from the Vatican, from a pope...Vatican distances from Sander's




visit....the Sanders later drops the 'pope' when he speaks about this.

So, Sanders name drops the pope-the Vatican calls him on his big fish story--and then Sanders drops the word -pope-the next time he speaks. got it!

.............Respect for Pope

Sanders earlier on Friday said, “this is an invitation from the Vatican, from a pope that I have enormous respect for in term of the level of consciousness that he’s raising on the need to have morality in our economy."

The office of the pope moved quickly to distance the pontiff from Sanders’s visit. Father Federico Lombardi, the Pope’s spokesman, said Sanders had been invited “not by the pope but by the pontifical academy of social sciences.” Lombardi told the Italian news agency Ansa: “For the moment there is no expectation that there will also be a meeting with the pope.”
.................

Sanders told reporters in New York on Friday that he is “very excited about this invitation from the Vatican to participate in a major conference dealing with how we can inject morality into today’s economy.”.................

[roguevalley]

25. his invite was sent 3-30 and the crap you posted was debunked by the vatican

[NorthCarolina]

20. Switched the twitter stream to Damage Control for Bernie though and away

from the Big Dog fiasco for a while. It served it's purpose; probably not for as long as they hoped, but for a time anyway.

[grasswire]

11. pretty much

Look over here!

No, over here!

Chumming, isn't that what it is called?

[SoLeftIAmRight]

12. hard to hide this

[riversedge]

16. I feel sorry for you--Just like Sanders subway tokens-you live in the past.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

22. i thought she had it all wrapped up

why are you wasting you time?

[Joe the Revelator]

49. Right? why not just pivot to the GE if its all over.

[Arkansas Granny]

21. What is the point you're trying to make with this picture.?

That is from a 1983 Governors conference hosted by George H. W. Bush at Kennebunkport.

The day Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush drank sodas with George Wallace.
As vice president in 1982, Bush hosted governors at his Maine house, including these from Arkansas and Alabama.
The day Bill Clinton and George HW Bush drank sodas with George Wallace.

24. Oblio

is that you?

[Arkansas Granny]

34. ???

[SoLeftIAmRight]

35. do you have a point - Oblio?

???

[Arkansas Granny]

37. No, a question. What or who is oblio?

I would like to know what I'm being accused of.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

38. it is east to do the search - a little from wiki

The Point! is a fable by American songwriter and musician Harry Nilsson about a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, where by law everyone and everything must have a point. There have been at least three adaptations of The Point!: an animated film, an album, and a musical play, each featuring songs written by Nilsson to accompany the story. The album is Nilsson's sixth.

Nilsson said of his inspiration for The Point: "I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, "Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it."[4]

[Luminous Animal]

30. He couldn't find someone else to hobnob with other than a racist and Reagan's VP?

There HAD to be some other Democratic governors there.

[Arkansas Granny]

33. You can't be serious. You are taking the content of one photo and conflating it to mean that

he only had interaction with only those two people?

[Arkansas Granny]

14. What did Hillary say about the invitation?

[Joe the Revelator]

39. Just look around for the talking points.

[Arkansas Granny]

41. I've read the talking points on both sides. None of them are statements from Hillary.

[Joe the Revelator]

42. So you think the Hillary campaign isn't controlled by Hillary?

I gotta a bridge I can sell ya...

[riversedge]

15. You look more than FOOLISH linking the two. SHAME ON YOU

[Joe the Revelator]

17. But do I? Because everyone else seems to think its obvious.

And I think you may be a bit biased.

[Cheese Sandwich]

26. Seriously they're totally using invitationgate to swamp #superpredatorgate

There are like 100 analysis articles today about Bill Clinton's BLM meltdown.

The whole purpose of this fake invitation thing is to swamp out coverage of something actually serious.

[litlbilly]

28. but Bills meltdown will not be easy to cover up IMO. they have no idea what to do now.

[Major Nikon]

[beaglelover]

43. Nice try.

[Joe the Revelator]

46. Great post bro!

[seabeyond]

[Joe the Revelator]

45. You must have been gone all day.

[seabeyond]

47. He is not meeting with the Pope and knows it. This is a lie.

[Cheese Sandwich]

48. yes it does seem to be the case
