Sanders conveniently omits that Hillary meets with African American Leaders in Phillly

[riversedge]

Oh yes, Bernie Sanders last night was mud-slinging --told his rally that he would rather be here in Iowa than what Hillary was doing -fund raising in Philadelphia. But Sanders did not tell his rally the whole truth and left out that Hillary was also meeting with Afro-American Leaders. It is dishonest of Sanders to do this. How can we trust him to tell us the Truth?? But most of headlines tell the truth!

BTW--msnbc played a clip of Sanders on stage mud-slinging-where he ragged on about Hillary's trip to Philly and her fundraising stop where he omitted the fact that Hillary also met with Afro-American leaders and was in Iowa earlier in the day.

13. Oh please. Hillary tried to hide this fundraiser by not putting it

AA leaders, a meeting that was her dishonest cover for going to Philadelphia.

[KittyWampus]

41. Has Bernie ever gotten around to fundraising for any other Democrats?

You and the rest of his supporters keep telling us all how he isn't about rainbow crapping unicorns.

He's going to bring a wave of Democrats with him into office.

Or something.

Yet he can't be bothered doing anything to help fellow Democrats.

[riversedge]

45. Not yet. He thinks Dems in Congress are not needed. Sad.

[MADem]

94. He signed a deal with the DNC and he has yet to deliver.

He's made it pretty clear that he doesn't like Democrats--he has said as much, over and over again.

[CoffeeCat]

19. How disingenuous and manipulative

So typical of dishonest Hillary, and her fans who are more than willing to perpetuate her nonsense.

She did fund raise in Philly. That's a fact. That's what Sandrs was commenting on. Nothing more.

The fact that she had other things planned is irrelevant to the discussion.

Of course, because Hillary Clinton is a manipulative scum bag, she will turn this into an attack on her meeting with African Americans.

Because that's what Hillary Clinton does. That's who she is.

[riversedge]

34. Ah, the sins of omision

[cali]

42. Yes, Hillary sins a lot on that front

[CoffeeCat]

50. Ah, the horrors of deflection, obfuscation and being a jackass (Hillary, that is). nt

[2pooped2pop]

80. I know for a fact Hillary would have mentioned the second meeting if tables were turned.b

Because she is so gosh darn honest and would never keep secrets. Oh wait a minute....better add this

[hrmjustin]

2. You expected better from Sanders? Said sarcastically.

I didn't.

[cali]

14. Bernie is honorable. Hill doesn't have an honest or honorable bone.

[hrmjustin]

16. So you say.

[Fawke Em]

38. So says many. eom

[hrmjustin]

40. And many others disagree.

[KittyWampus]

44. No, he's not. He's full of crap like every other politician. Except his is dreamy RAINBOW crap.

[Armstead]

54. I'll take Rainbow Crap over the Big Con Crap and the "No Can Do" Crap anyday

[artislife]

83. I thought the dreamy rainbow "crap" was Jackson then Obama? nt

[uponit7771]

63. He's maybe slightly better but not enough for people to take a chance on

[riversedge]

74. Just saw that Sanders camp sent out a tweet about it last night.

[Fumesucker]

3. Clinton conveniently omits that she met with 200 Wall Street leaders and siphoned mucho dinero

[dsc]

35. no she had the fundraiser on her schedule

and she most certainly will be reporting the money raised to the FEC.

[Orsino]

71. Whether or not the event was announced doesn't strike me as important.

It's the sort of thing that once would have been a source of significant shame.

[NorthCarolina]

6. Man things must be getting desperate indeed. Scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel

to try to manufacture some mud.

[Warren DeMontague]

21. Because OBVIOUSLY HILLARY CANNOT RUN ON THE ISSUES

Rinse. Repeat.

[artislife]

84. They are just wishing there were crabs in that barrel to pull down with them. nt

[edgineered]

7. So now the Sanders campaign is responsible for HRC publicity?

This place gets stranger by the minute.

[cherokeeprogressive]

8. What's the death toll so far?

[JackRiddler]

12. lol

[riversedge]

29. U.S. shootings since 1963 have killed more Americans than all wars ever

Hillary is the only candidate willing to take on the gun lobby--while Sanders voted to give immunity to irresponsible gun manufacturers.

66. NRA rating D- .... when I was in school that was a Hail Mary for Fail

That's not Bernie saying it either...why don't you believe the NRA?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

9. I love the smell of desperation in the morning.

It reminds me of . . . Victory for Bernie.

If this, THIS, represents the best attack on Bernie, you guys have a long winter ahead of you.

Yes, I do.

That's why I'm voting for this guy.

[Nanjeanne]

10. Seriously?

He was supposed to give her entire agenda for the day? I believe when he was giving his town hall she was holding her fundraiser. I don't believe either gave their agendas for that entire day.

And while I haven't listened to MSNBC since I prefer not to have my brain scrambled by pundits. I did listen to Sanders speech and he most certainly did not sling mud. He mentioned her briefly and her fundraiser. This is a contest isn't it?

[LexVegas]

11. Is that suprising? Look at how thin his support is with minorities. For a reason. nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. Don't fret my dear friend, Riversedge.

"Truth crushed to earth will rise again."

[riversedge]

17. Oh true.

Take care.

[cali]

18. The truth, alas, doesn't stand a chance with Hillary. And Bernie

is under no obligation to talk about hill meeting with black pastors. She publicized that meeting while trying to hide her fundraising shindig, which she conveniently left off her.schedule.

[CoffeeCat]

25. Bernie put a spotlight on her Wall Street pandering

And she's using African Ameticans as a smokescreen.

Does that bother anyone else that she is using PEOPLE to deflect her corrupt relationships with powerful Wall Street interests?

If you're Hillary Clinton and you want to hide that Wall Street was filling your campaign coffers at 2:00--just simply accuse your opponent of attacking the African Americans that you met with at 4:00.

[Yupy]

20. Our beloved Bernie doesn't work for Hilary's campaign...Hello??? By the way, thanks God he doesn't!

[uponit7771]

22. New Marist Poll just came out, Clinton spread in SC is nearly 40 now!!!! Sanders managers

... excuse is still black folk don't know about Sanders.

yes we do

[Bluenorthwest]

23. The main event of the day, which you leave out of this OP was a big old high end fundraiser

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will visit Philadelphia on Jan. 27 for a fund-raiser hosted by a group that includes lawyer-turned-investment mogul Michael C. Forman and former State Rep. Michael Gerber (D., Mont.) at their $17 billion "alternative investments" firm, Franklin Square Capital Partners.

Rocker Jon Bon Jovi will play an acoustic set for donors - including "friends," who give at least $1,000; "family," couples and kids, who get their photos snapped with the candidate for $2,700 (that's also the limit donors may give to each of the primary and general elections); and "hosts," who bundle $27,000 in contributions.
http://articles.philly.com/2016-01-18/news/69844264_1_clinton-gala-bill-clinton-hillary-clinton

The PA primary by the by is 3 months away, April 26th. It's almost like you emphasize that which favors your candidate and your rivals do the same for their candidate, which really is how politics works.

Did you attend the Bon Jovi concert yourself? I ask because I'm wondering how many people from that first event were at the Bon Jovi bash? It almost has that 'Two Americas' feel to it, not a big event for Hillary but one event for one set of people and a very separate event for the Bon Jovi sort.

[NurseJackie]

24. Hillary's looking forward, not stuck in a single state trying to shore-up the base.

Note to Jury: This is my personal observation about Hillary's strategy. I have not made any attacks against any other candidate's strategy. I have not smeared any candidate's supporters. I haven't speculated about the strategy of other candidates. Instead, I have stated what she IS doing, and what SHE isn't doing.

[Kentonio]

31. Perhaps that would be more believable if she hadn't devoted 90% of her spending to Iowa.

[Fawke Em]

47. Gee... I didn't realize Minnesota voted on Feb. 1.

He was there Monday.

[SidDithers]

26. DU rec...nt

Are we being a wee bit selective in our outrage, or what?

[Jarqui]

28. Hmmm

http://www.philly.com/philly/news/politics/20160128_Clinton_raises_funds__meets_clergy_in_Philly.html

Clinton's campaign did not include the Philadelphia fund-raiser on its public schedule, but news outlets reported the event last week.

The meeting with the Black ministers at Mother Bethel Church wasn't on her campaign schedule (in fact it still isn't). And it wasn't listed on the church's schedule or the Richard Allen Museum schedule.
https://www.motherbethel.org/
http://richardallenculturalcenter.info/5.html

It couldn't be because another Wall Street fundraiser got sniffed out and canceled at the last minute
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/attytood/Yay-Hillary-loves-Philadelphiamoney.html#MDeMZUPvm8Pg2fIt.99

At the last minute, HRC postponed a second fundraiser that was to be hosted by Wall Street big shots in New York City.

Looks like she tried to slip away to line her pockets with Wall Street dough, had to cancel New York when it looked bad after reporters caught a sniff of Bon Jovi serenading the cash coming out of their wallets at the fundraiser, so they tacked on the church visit to try to cover their tracks.

But of course, this behavior is all "dishonest" Bernie's fault and what she was really doing was zipping in to have an impromptu meeting with black leaders and it just so happened that Bon Jovi and the Wall Street crowd were having a party that she crashed and they threw wads of cash at her.

[frylock]

89. Are you saying that she hunted down Bon Jovi and crashed his meeting?

[book_worm]

30. Bernie is going to need to start appealing more to black & latino voters

if he is going to all the way to get the nomination.

[BlueCaliDem]

55. He's not. He isn't. He won't. He don't care. eom

[libdem4life]

67. He "doesn't" care. Only do Grammar Police on negative posts. Four "nots" qualifies,

even if contractions.

[BlueCaliDem]

68. Yeah. I know. Clearly, I used American slang. I'm sorry you didn't "get it".

[libdem4life]

70. "didn't" ?

[BlueCaliDem]

95. Yeah. It's called a contraction.

[uponit7771]

62. He is, he's attached two of the biggest Obama haters on the planet to his campaign; Bigga and West

... and that's his plan to appeal to more minority voters by associating with Obama hating bomb throwers.

He's ... this is so amatuer hour

[NCTraveler]

32. Seems the truth really has some upset.

I don't put much past Sanders these days. Very calculated moves he is making.

[R B Garr]

36. He's gotta feed those outrage junkies.

So phony.

[quickesst]

37. I think it's a sad sad thing...

...... that Senator Sanders is learning from his supporters rather than his supporters learning from him.

[left-of-center2012]

39. Clintonistas sling mud claiming Bernie slings mud.

[Broward]

46. Wait, you value honesty and truth telling and you support Hillary?

That's quite a disconnect there.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

52. a touch, a touch, I do confess!

[Tom Rinaldo]

48. Because few believe that is why she flew back east a few days before the caucus

It's a fine thing for Hillary to meet with her African American supporters in Philly (and any non-supporters too for that matter). It would have made sense for her to schedule something like that after Monday, when she will be based on the East Coast and not in the closing days of a tight contest that could set the tone for the races that follow.

This is where Hillary campaign starts seeming less than fully genuine. When first I heard heard she was leaving Iowa to attend some East Coast fundraisers I heard one of her spokespersons handle the topic rather well. He stressed these were long standing engagements she was honoring - not something whipped up because she suddenly needed cash. He said Clinton always planned to be prepared for the possible costs of a hard campaign and fund raising was ongoing etc. He followed that up by stressing how much time Hillary was still spending in Iowa prior to the caucus, all the events she had etc. That seemed like a good response to me.

I still don't think it reflects well on the Clinton campaign to do a fund raiser with a major financial institution on the eve of the Iowa caucus - it is really bad political messaging and it is foolish to think the Sanders campaign would not make note of it to Iowans in Iowa. But the comments I heard from her spokesperson were not slippery - they dealt with this issue head on and put a cap on down side speculation that Hillary was desperate for money to do this etc.

Why wouldn't Hillary also meet with base supporters while she was out there in Philly anyway looking for big checks? That isn't the point and everyone knows it. There was only one reason why Hillary left Iowa when she did and that was for a major fund raiser. Period. To try to blur that perception is just foolish.

[mcar]

51. K&R for truth!

[Kalidurga]

56. LOL

I guess ya'll know how bad her going to corporations of campaign funds is looking.

[still_one]

57. gee, I wonder why that wasn't mentioned.......

[mhatrw]

58. LOL at Hillary trying to hide her Wall Street lovers behind a wall of black pastors. nt

[oasis]

59. I suspect Bernie resisted going down this road.

It's his handlers who are pushing him beyond the principled boundaries he had set for himself.

From the minute he jumped into the race, he knew he had no chance of beating Hillary, but he felt compelled to get out an urgent, important message about where America was headed. He likely wanted to build on his idea behind the supposed Obama primary challenge in 2012.

To Bernie's surprise, his 2016 campaign message caught fire and generated the wide spread support we see today.

By the time Bernie realized he was in way over his head, campaign fatigue had taken its toll. The "messenger" had unwittingly evolved into the vehicle for "the revolution". It was evident to those close to Bernie that he was already shouldering to much of a load as leader of the movement and he couldn't possibly oversee everything going on around him. That's usually when the staffers with hidden agendas become more involved. The revolution must not be stalled.

IMO, it was behind the scenes manipulation by ultra lefties who likely launched this recent transformation of his campaign.

[Autumn]

60. Has she hired the Sanders campaign as a publicity outlet?

Hillary was off fund raising in Philadelphia. The truth is now mud?

[bahrbearian]

61. She flew to Philly Coach, and drove a rental car.

[artislife]

86. Just the thought of that makes me laugh. nt

[whatchamacallit]

64. You mean he didn't recite her entire itinerary verbatim?!?

That bastard!!1!

[Vinca]

72. I didn't realize Hillary sent Bernie a detailed list of her daily engagements.

How would he know who she was meeting with? He's never claimed to have ESP.

[workinclasszero]

73. But Sanders did not tell his rally the whole truth and left out that Hillary was also meeting with..

....Afro-American Leaders. It is dishonest of Sanders to do this.

Wow, this kinda crap is uncalled for Bernie. SMH

[ChairmanAgnostic]

75. True Hillarian logic.

What, you want him to recite her entire itinerary, instead of point out that she is back to kissing the asses of financial thieves and scoundrels?
What a way to turn a major problem into an attack on the guy who simply points out the truth.

[Beacool]

76. It's politics.

That's what's funny about this elevation of Sanders. His supporters act as if he wasn't just another politician. Albeit one who is far Left and promotes an agenda that he has zero chance of passing through Congress in his lifetime and maybe even ours.

Of course he's not going to advertise to his supporters that Hillary was meeting with AA leaders. That would make her trip to Philly look good. They are rivals, why would he make her look good?

[elana i am]

77. does speaking with african american leaders mitigate

soliciting money from the wall street crooks?

not even a little itty bitty teeny tiny infinitesimal tiny speck of a bit.

[riversedge]

81. You missed the point.

[frylock]

91. Because there was no point.

[riversedge]

92. Wishing or denying there was no point is a Fail.

[frylock]

93. Wishing or claiming there was a point is a Fail.

I can play this game all day.

[ProudToBeLiberal]

79. This was very dishonest from Bernie Sanders. He is usually better than this. nt

[artislife]

82. Be careful, if you are going to use omission as lying

because that will turn on little h in a heartbeat. She is the master at using a scalpel to the truth.

[HerbChestnut]

85. She could have visited AA leaders in Iowa...

But that would have taken her away from the fundraiser...so yeah

[lunamagica]

87. Dishonest. eom

[frylock]

88. Is Sanders now Hillary's press secretary?

[Punkingal]

90. Because he knows that was just her cover story for being there.

[Gothmog]

96. That was a major omission

[Dems2002]

97. Breaking, breaking - Sanders fails to campaign for opponent

Lol - Sanders told the truth. He didn't tell a lie or fudge, he said what Hillary is and has been doing...attending lots of fundraisers.
