So Bernie said Joe Arpaio ambushed his wife. Does this look like an ambush to you?

Since it seems the Clinton Group believes we're clear to attack family. Remember that inspiring, in-depth interview she did with the Geico gecko?

It Looks Like Chelsea Clinton Made $26,724 For Each Minute She Appeared On NBC
Hunter Walker
Jun. 13, 2014

On Friday morning, Politico published on the previously unknown and "closely held" details of former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton's contract with NBC News. According to the story, Clinton was given an annual salary of $600,000 when she joined NBC News as a "special correspondent" in November 2011. Based on these figures, Clinton has earned about $26,724 for each minute she subsequently appeared on air.

NBC News declined to confirm Politico's report about Clinton's salary. A spokesperson for the news outlet instead said they, "don’t comment on details of existing contracts." Politico also said Clinton's contract "was up for renewal or nonrenewal this year" and she was placed on the payroll on a month-to-month basis to allow her to cut ties with the network if her mother, Hillary Clinton, launches her long rumored presidential bid in 2016.

Assuming Politico's reporting is correct and that Clinton is still earning at the same rate after moving to month-to-month payment, she has earned about $1.55 million from NBC News.

NBC News did not respond to multiple requests for comment from Business Insider asking for information about Clinton's salary or the number of appearances she has made since becoming a special correspondent. However, using Nexis, Business Insider identified 14 appearances Clinton has made on NBC News programs. A source familiar with Clinton's work for NBC told Business Insider "she has two completed reports scheduled to air next week and another two scheduled to begin shooting in the coming weeks."...

Chelsea Clinton Leaving Her Unbelievably Cushy Fake Job at NBC
By Joe Coscarelli

...“Chelsea's storytelling inspired people across the country and showcased the real power we have as individuals to make a difference in our communities,” said NBC News senior vice president Alex Wallace. “While she will be missed, we look forward to working with her in the future.”

A search for her recent work turns up “Oscar-Winning Actor Jeff Bridges Fights to End Childhood Hunger” and “Homework Diner Serves Up Education With a Side of Food” (a follow-up to the same story from last year), along with “Chelsea Clinton Pregnant: ‘Marc and I Are Very Excited,” “Chelsea Clinton: I’m Very Excited About First Child,” and “‘So Thrilled’: Chelsea Clinton Announces Pregnancy.”

[dlwickham]

63. and this has what to do with Sheriff Joe and Bernie's wife?

[kristopher]

80. I thought this was an "attack the family of candidates" thread.

I'm damned sure the thread doesn't serve any other purpose.

[dlwickham]

82. it's a WTH is she doing with Sheriff Joe thread

try to keep up

[kristopher]

85. Amazing isn't it, Chelsea got a $600K/yr no-show gig at NBC

No experience even. I wonder if there is a connection between that and NBC/MSNBC being totally in the tank for Hillary? Nah, that's crazy talk...

[senseandsensibility]

89. You have a point

everyone with two brain cells knows it.

[azurnoir]

92. maybe like read the linked article it's in there

[Human101948]

2. so you are a fan of Sheriff Arpaio?

He's a right wing asshole and you are defending him?

[Jackie Wilson Said]

3. Knowing Arpaio the way we all do, yes, if she says it was, it was.

Hillary would not approve of your characterization of this.

[LexVegas]

4. She had a polite interaction with a raging hateful racist. nt

[Jackie Wilson Said]

6. Because she has class, it was polite.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. Joe Arpaio is a racist bully who deliberately mistreats people of color in his charge.

I would treat him accordingly.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

15. Stop it. You dont know how she treated him, are you implying she treated him well?

Jumped the shark this stuff has.

I am embarrassed for the party.

I know the other guys started it and are way worse, so why do you have to do in kind?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. I am saying how DSB would treat Arpaio

He cooks them in 130 degree heat. If I did that to a dog I would be facing charges.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

28. I know...I just think if it werent for Bernie supporters, Bernie would have a much

higher position in your mind.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

36. I can't believe he cooks his prisoners in 130 degree heat...

I can't believe he cooks his prisoners in 130 degree heat, makes his male prisoners wear pink garments to emasculate them, and feeds them food that looks like this:

[Jackie Wilson Said]

40. I cant believe he isnt in prison himself. But that is an example of how

horribly racist this country still is.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

49. How could somebody eat that?

A dog would disregard it.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

51. What in the hell is it?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

54. It's what he feeds his prisoners...

He says it is nutritious and he might be right but a prisoner would have to get past the sight of it to eat it in the first place.

He really is twisted; the heat, the pink undergarments, the food that looks like duty...Don't forget it's a jail so many of the people there haven't been found guilty of anything but are too poor to post bail or are there serving time for misdemeanors. It's not a prison where felons are housed.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

56. If someone like him could get away with it, I am sure the prisoners would

be beaten more often than they are, used to make profits for his buddies.

Sometimes you see something and you wonder why it is allowed.

Makes me very angry.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

57. Being deprived of your freedom has to be hellish enough...

Why does he have to make it worse?

And if these people are going to get out one day. They are only going to be worse.

[kristopher]

41. Spoken like a true and stout internet warrior.

Huzzah!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

If you are suggesting I am a coward there is nothing i can do to disabuse you of that notion.

9. I suppose you think this reflects poorly on her?

[Sheepshank]

35. So it's ok If Jane is courteous and polite to assholes, not ok for Hillary.

Other pictures of Hillary and xxxx, torn apart and dismantled with all sorts of innuendos and interpretations, anything other that the courtesies provided at a moment in time when the picture was taken. One can only conclude there is a lot of hyporitical hyperbole involved.

[Luminous Animal]

73. Jane does not vacation with Joe. Hillary DOES vacation with Kissinger.

Jane would not go to Joe's wedding. Hillary DID go to Trumps' wedding.

[Sheepshank]

95. There you go again, making up, implying something nepharious and creating interpretations

You just can't help yourself.

Fwiw, I go to weddings of children of peers, because I have nothing against the daughter of the peer. I dislike the peer and do this for the sake of future business dealings and good will. Politics is even more wrought with such choices.

I don't make assumptions and presume to interpret the issues surrounding a picture in a moment in time, when I don't don't know the back story.

7. She seems to be smiling

[Jackie Wilson Said]

11. Jane is a good person, so is Bernie. Joe is not.

I realize the Bernie supporters have been so ridiculous attacking people here and elsewhere and attacking Hillary, but Jane is good, Joe is not.

Jane may not have known how to react any other way to this vicious racist.

[bravenak]

30. Best to avoid him entirely

[Jackie Wilson Said]

39. I disagree, he needs to be confronted, which is in part what she was doing.

I see what goes on here, I know why you do what you do as to Bernie or his supporters, it makes sense.

But Jane and Bernie are good people, if it had been up to them you wouldn't have been subjected to endless racism and crap from people here or anywhere.

Bernie has badly mangled the economic and race issue but not out of intentional harm on his part, just white privilege ignorance.

It is easy as a white person, as well meaning as he is, to make that mistake. Doesn't excuse it, but explains it.

[bravenak]

42. I meant for her because any meeting will be twisted at this point

Best to leave him alone unless you are going to ACTUALLY CONFRONT HIM. Doesnt do to be seen smiling in his presense. People do not give benefits of doubt and at this point, with all the complaints about how tone deaf his campaign is, stuff like this will just serve to reinforce those ideas.

If meeting him or going to his facility, announce that you are going there to confront him. Then do it. Loudly and on camera. Shame him. No smiling.

[kristopher]

58. He hasn't "mangled the economic and race issue" a single bit more than MLK did.

His position on the effects of economics on the race issue is identical to Dr. King.

Are you saying Dr. King didn't understand?

[Jackie Wilson Said]

60. Go to the AA forum and lecture them there on your knowledge of Dr. King and why

they should agree with you.

PLEASE

[kristopher]

78. Refute it if you can. The post stands and can be supported.

The race baiting by Hillary camp anonymous internet gangs is beyond tiresome.

The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s economic message was fiery and radical. To our society’s great shame, it has also proved timeless.

As we celebrate King’s great achievement and sacrifice, it is wrong to round off the sharp edges of his legacy. He saw inequality as a fundamental and tragic flaw in this society, and he made clear in the weeks leading up to his assassination that economic issues were becoming the central focus of his advocacy.

Nearly five decades later, King’s words on the subject still ring true. On March 10, 1968, just weeks before his death, he spoke to a union group in New York about what he called “the other America.” He was preparing to launch a Poor People’s Campaign whose premise was that issues of jobs and issues of justice were inextricably intertwined.

“One America is flowing with the milk of prosperity and the honey of equality,” King said. “That America is the habitat of millions of people who have food and material necessities for their bodies, culture and education for their minds, freedom and human dignity for their spirits. .?.?. But as we assemble here tonight, I’m sure that each of us is painfully aware of the fact that there is another America, and that other America has a daily ugliness about it that transforms the buoyancy of hope into the fatigue of despair.”

Those who lived in the other America, King said, were plagued by “inadequate, substandard and often dilapidated housing conditions,” by ...

[DesertRat]

67. Arpaio has been confronted MANY times over the 23 years of Tent City

Over the many years, he's been visited and called out by many celebrities, the ACLU, social justice leaders, politicians, etc. He's an ardent Trump supporter, birther and never met a camera he didn't love. He has never excused or explained his inhumane treatment of the inmates. Unfortunately, like Trump, the publicity just seems to make Arpaio more popular.

On our local Phoenix news, he spun the "ambush" as taking Jane Sanders on a "personal tour" of the facility and discussing his policies with her. He also said that he's waiting for Hillary to show up so he can also take her on the tour. Hopefully Clinton won't take the bait and be another prop for his self-promotion.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

68. It makes me sick , sad and angry that he is an American

No true patriot or christian would do what he does or support it.

[DesertRat]

69. I agree

Everyone I personally know DESPISES Arpaio and we ALL campaign and vote for his opponent when he runs. But unfortunately he has a large following as "America's toughest sheriff"

I'm afraid that he'll be our sheriff until he dies or can physically no longer hold the job. He'll be 84 this June and shows no sign of quitting yet.

[itsrobert]

8. Looks like a nice friendly visit

two people comfortable to be around each other.

[Autumn]

47. Here's four people really comfortable around each other. Talk about a friendly visit.

?itok=1egkfALE

[kcr]

10. No, it doesn't. But I'm not going to get too upset about it.

I'm glad they're drawing attention to Arpaio's tent city.

[TM99]

12. I am here in Arizona.

The attempts here to prop up this lie are disgusting.

Jane Sanders did not meet with Arpaio. He appeared at Tent City while she was touring it to raise awareness of the hell pit that it is particularly for undocumenteds and minorities.

So she didn't scour or tell him to fuck off on live camera. Is that what you would have wanted her to say? Of course, then you could speak out of the other side of your mouth and say what a horrible and impolite person Jane Sanders is.

This is a sick and fucking disgusting game that will end finally when Clinton is defeated whether in the primary or GE.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. I would have asked him while he deliberately mistreats people of color in his charge?

By his sadistic mistreatment he reveals more about himself than them.

[noretreatnosurrender]

44. From the Linked Story

Arpaio soon appeared while she was speaking with reporters. Sanders pressed Arpaio, who has endorsed Republican Donald Trump, on the brutal conditions of Tent City, where temperatures can reach 130 degrees Fahrenheit. She also asked about racial profiling in Arizona. Sanders said Arpaio had no answers to her questions. Despite their disagreement, the interaction between the two sounded remarkably civil.

[LiberalFighter]

98. If you want Clinton to be beaten in the General if she wins the nomination

I'm wondering why you should be here. We don't want a Republican to win the General.

[surrealAmerican]

14. The photo doesn't show anything but that they were in the same place ...

... at the same time, squinting in the sun, and with people with microphones.

You're being way too gullible, or maybe you're just hoping other people will be.

[SidDithers]

16. Whether she was ambushed or not, she was clearly unprepared for a confrontation...

and was easily bulldozed by Sheriff Fuckwit.

I put this on the Mickey Mouse campaign staff that Sanders has running his show. How could they have let Jane get into a position where she was directly confronted by the Sheriff, and then ended up giving a megaphone to a dumbass like Arpaio?

That whole campaign just screams "amateur hour".

Sid

[elleng]

76. 'Unprepared,' yes;

'bulldozed?' No.

LET her get into a position where the SHERIFF could 'confront' her? It's the REAL WORLD, the Sheriff goes where he wants to go.

She did nicely, going so far as to have a conversation and make a joke by paralleling her support for her husband Senator Sanders with arpaio's stated support for trump. 'we'll agree to disagree.'

[LiberalFighter]

99. I don't get how anyone considers that she was ambushed.

Anyone expecting to visit the site should expect a visit by someone from the Sheriff's office. Usually based on the pecking order. In this case it would be justified for the Sheriff to be there. He operates it. And he is going to squeeze ever bit of PR out that he can when it involves the national media.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

17. When you find yourself in Sheriff Joe's corner, something has gone very, very wrong.

[UglyGreed]

18. Does this look like a smirk......

[TheCowsCameHome]

20. He's glad you're still such a fan of his.

He looks elated in his own miserable way, actually.

[UglyGreed]

21. Hmm

[Else You Are Mad]

33. that's no fair!!!

The Clintons had to be there as per the stipulation in Trump's agreement to donate to her campaign and the Clinton Foundation!! They don't seem like they were forced to be there and look like they were having a great time with Trump.

[UglyGreed]

37. Wait she laughed it up with a

sooooooshist tooo

[Else You Are Mad]

50. Her hands are like that...

because she is praying that Chavez would give her some rights to all that sweet petroleum...

correct

I thought I was going to be yelled at thanks to your tricky title!

all we want at $50 a barrel. Bush turned it down.

[UglyGreed]

[BillZBubb]

23. Arpaio, really? is there no depth to which you Hillary fanatics won't sink?

[MaggieD]

25. No. It's just more Bernie Sanders BS

[UglyGreed]

26. Hmmm

[JaneyVee]

27. Whats so funny?

[sufrommich]

31. This is more the fault of a sloppy campaign than

Jane Sanders.It's the campaign's job to foresee the fairly obvious. This wouldn't have surprised a well run campaign. I don't blame her though,what was she supposed to do,slap him? She made the best out of a bad situation that she shouldn't have been thrown into in the first place.Sanders should be blaming his campaign operatives and no one else.

[DesertRat]

71. I'm afraid you're right

They played right into Arpaio's hands. He lives for the publicity.

[mcar]

74. I agree

The campaign made a mistake.

[NWCorona]

32. This is shameful!

You are backing up Joe Arpaio? I have tried to be very respectful of other people's opinion but this is beyond ridiculous!


"Arpaio, meanwhile, tweeted that when he heard Jane was in town he moved around some important-sounding appointments and ran right over:

His tweet

"Heard Jane Sanders was visiting my Tents jail, I adjusted my gun and armed Posse presser @4pm so I could give her a personal tour."


http://theslot.jezebel.com/jane-sanders-visits-arizona-sheriff-joe-arapios-infamou-1764982008

[stone space]

103. Arpaio should have a meeting with the Secret Service over this.

His tweet

"Heard Jane Sanders was visiting my Tents jail, I adjusted my gun and armed Posse presser @4pm so I could give her a personal tour."

http://theslot.jezebel.com/jane-sanders-visits-arizona-sheriff-joe-arapios-infamou-1764982008

Blatant threats like this by racist xenophobic ammosexuals against the families of Presidential candidates should NOT be ignored.

[NWCorona]

105. The sad thing is that people here are supporting

This ass just because it suits their politics.

[MaggieD]

34. You forgot - if Bernie's people do it, it's okay

Fundamental rule of Bernie fandom.

[hrmjustin]

43. I think his campaign should have anticipated this encounter.

[SidDithers]

53. Exactly...

And not allowed Jane to be put into a position for which she was unprepared.



Sid

[NWCorona]

55. It's not about expecting or knowing

The tweet and link I supplied above clearly shows Joe wanted to intimidate Jane.

[randome]

46. What Sanders said about it didn't at all sound like an 'ambush'.

But so what? Maybe Sanders exaggerated. No big deal, imo.

[DesertRat]

48. It looks like a photo op. n/t

[hellofromreddit]

61. This seems like a silly game

[synergie]

64. Either she was truly clueless and was easily ambushed and made herself look

a complete fool by allowing him to do so, while she nodded politely and didn't know enough to counter his falsehoods, or as a BS supporter in another thread insisted, Jane isn't clueless at all, and this was a deliberately engineered and enthusiastic courting of an unapologetic racist who runs his prison in a deplorable manner, like the private prisons that VT convicts are sent to, when they're arrested at a rate higher than Ferguson, MI.

You can't have it both ways.

I actually think she was dumb enough to get ambushed and didn't bother to do her homework and thus had no clue what to say or how to deal with him, so she smiled and nodded and let herself be used as a prop and gave him a soap box and free publicity.

The BS camp here really need to get their stories straight an figure out how to defend her here. It's legitimate to say that she's human and made a mistake, but for some reason neither Bernie nor his followers seem to be able to do that.

[NWCorona]

65. Why all this BS over semantics when this is one of the definitions of ambushed

"confront (someone) suddenly and unexpectedly with unwelcome questions.
"representatives were ambushed by camera crews""

That's exactly what he did. With cameras and all!

I still can't believe you guys are backing up Joe

[frylock]

66. I am shocked to find Hillary Supporter is defending Joe Arpaio.

[Kittycat]

106. Well, they defend her support of Kissinger, so...

Nothing should surprise us.

[AzDar]

70. Goddamn... defending Arpaio. REALLY plumbing the depths...

[mcar]

72. Sure doesn't

[still_one]

77. In fairness, she wasn't there to meet him. He rushed over to her, to get the

media's attention, and try to justify the inhuman conditions of internment of the prisoners in tents with temperatures in excess of 100 degrees.

[lumberjack_jeff]

79. And Joe Arpaio joins the pantheon of Clintonite gods alongside Kissinger and Bush.

Poor Joe, such a deeply misunderstood guy, when his only motivation is his desire for the people under his care to get a good tan.

has been blown out of proportion.....especially here on DU....

[leftinportland]

87. This post disgusts me

what are you insinuating?

[Onlooker]

88. This is ridiculous

This is as silly as the thread showing a photo of Hillary with Kissinger. Jane Sanders, if anything, is guilty of being respectful and courteous.

[senseandsensibility]

90. wow

she was so rude and offensive and he is so cool!

[rufus dog]

91. I will need to go do some research to confirm

But generally if you are with Sheriff Joe, you are a fucking asshole.


TO BE CLEAR, ANYONE WiTH SHERIFF JOE IS A FUCKING ASSHOLE.

Now off to figure out the context.

Read the HP link, did my research and I stand corrected.

Anyone on DU who uses Sheriff Joe to slam a democrat or liberal is a fucking asshole.

TO BE CLEAR, ANYONE WHO CLAIMS TO BE A DEMOCRAT AND USES SHERIFF JOE TO MAKE POINT IS A FUCKING ASSHOLE.

And if anyone is tempted to alert on this, I dare you, because you aren't a Democrat, YOU ARE A FUCKING ASSHOLE!

[azurnoir]

93. well it might help to read the linked HuffPo article

[Logical]

94. It is so funny reading your posts. Mostly made up stuff! Nt

[R B Garr]

96. Just the fact they were photographed together would be enough for some people to slam Hillary.

So now there is a photograph of Jane and Joe, and Jane is even smiling. Oh noez!! Spread the picture around! Spam threads with this so everyone knows Jane and Joe are conspiring together. No context needed. The picture says is all. Just look at them!

[NCTraveler]

97. I'm glad she was there. And no, an ambush it was not.

Some of it is a sobering look at Sanders multiple vote against a pathway to citizenship. Not all, but a good many.

[book_worm]

100. I think this is a non-issue.

[Koinos]

101. Why did she go there in the first place?

I don't see how that helps the campaign, although it probably doesn't hurt it either.

[Bobbie Jo]

102. Nope. nt

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

104. No. But your OP does.

[Vinca]

107. Has Hillary visited this internment camp . . . or Bill?

Just wondering. The OP makes it sound like Jane gave Sheriff Joe a big wet one on the lips. There doesn't seem to be an iota of outrage about the conditions the people in this hellhole are living in, but Jane . . . what the hell was she thinking to be there and not slug the guy?

[Lint Head]

108. One frame of an entire situation does not always speak a thousand words. She appears to be a little

surprised he is there. This photo does not come with a 'Hey your are invited' commentary.

[jrandom421]

109. How could she be surprised he's there?

It's HIS jail, and he would have had to give them permission to go in there with cameras. Anything else is criminally poor and lax security.

Expecting him not to show up when there are national cameras around is poor planning at best, and naïve at worst.

[imagine2015]

110. So your point is that Jane Sanders is a racist and supports sheriff Arpaio?

That's 100% horse shit and you know it.

So please knock it off.

That kind of smear campaign in not appreciated by DU'ers including honest Hillary supporters.
