Now Emily's List is going after Bernie Sanders?

[Cali_Democrat]

WOW.

Bernie and his campaign really screwed this one up.

He needs to come out and apologize if he wants to mitigate the damage.

[portlander23]

1. Normally the party on the receiving end of the slur doesn't apologize ;)

[NCTraveler]

3. Please qoute the slur and who the party on the recieveing end of it was?

Quote please?

[giftedgirl77]

9. You may want to check out what Thom Hartman said about it.

I don't think Sanders is sexist but he called Clinton out at the debate directly about the shouting.

11. You also might want to check out what he said ;)

Thom Hartmann to Hillary Clinton: Challenge Bernie Sanders on Real Issues

Thom Hartmann: Clinton lied to Rachel Maddow on DOMA and played "poor me victim" on "shouting"

[giftedgirl77]

26. I did, I just find it hilarious how you cherry pick shit

to suit your agenda.

[portlander23]

33. Check the link you quoted again

TheProgressive
27. When/where did Hartmann say this?

Star Member BlueCaliDem
32. He didn't. My OP was addressed to him since he admitted in his video that he visits DU

Thom Hartmann has consistently called out Mrs. Clinton on the slur, as we all should.

[giftedgirl77]

38. Touche'.

[Tipperary]

42. I have to ask.

When did Thom Hartman become some sort of god on the DU ?

[portlander23]

43. He's the most popular liberal talk show host in america, been doing it since 2003

That's why some people are interested in his point of view. But, it's just an opinion, not an appeal to authority.

[Tipperary]

46. Thanks. I know of him but never thought he

was all that.

[giftedgirl77]

44. I have no idea, I've never listened to his show.

But I know ppl love him. I was wrong in what I posted, I misunderstood the initial OP.

[portlander23]

47. It was a poorly worded post

I had to read it a few times to understand what the poster was saying.

[NCTraveler]

2. A representative of EL called the comments condescending.

The comments from a representative of Sanders campaign were condescending.

End of story.

[Armstead]

4. They've been for Clinton from Day One

Their stated goal is to elect women to office.

[Cali_Democrat]

8. According to their page...

..they are the most influential pro-choice political action committee.

You don't cross them if you're running for the Democratic nomination.

I don't believe they've been critical of him in the past.

Bernie should just apologize.

[cantbeserious]

5. Wow - The Spilled Milk Crowd Is Working Overtime

eom

[JaneyVee]

6. Bernie's campaign is becoming unhinged.

I expect more smug, condescending bullshit from the BS campaign.

[giftedgirl77]

7. Even Thom Hartman said his comment came across

wrong & that he should've apologized instead his dumbass campaign doubled down.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251741459

Guess Thom will be joining everyone else under the bus.

[Capt. Obvious]

10. He's definitely not going to get Emily's List's backing now

[jkbRN]

12. Watch

10min 30sec in; Emily's List Response

[GummyBearz]

25. uhg

Next time warn us to get a gag bag ready when a video of a lobbyist talking out two sides of their mouth with incredible evasiveness and shamelessness is posted

[jkbRN]

45. Wtf are you talking about?

I posted the video to inform people on the Emily's list response in which she said (in regards to Bernie's comment) "no I do not think that comment was directed at her [HRC]"

Also, sorry but I am not 12 and I don't tell people to get "gag bags" when I am providing them with information.

[GummyBearz]

48. I watch further than that part

The evasiveness about the single payer option question was epic and gag worthy. Thats what I was referring to.

[jkbRN]

49. Ohh, I'm so sorry!

yeah I totally agree with you !! It was obnoxious

[bravenak]

13. I think so too. And in the future be more self aware.

[tularetom]

14. Oh no, Bernie Sanders is on Emily's Shit List

How anybody could them an objective organization is way beyond me.

It's one of the ten largest contributors to the Clinton campaign, right up there with the JP Morgans and Goldman Sachs of the world.

It's no surprise that they would attack Sanders.

[randys1]

28. It almost sounds like you are saying EL and JP and Goldman have similar agendas.

I didnt know Emily's List belonged in such company.

I guess I need to research that, unless you want to clarify this?

[arcane1]

35. They officially endorsed her 6 months ago.

Attacking her biggest rival should be expected.

[mcar]

15. He should apologize

I will be pleasantly surprised if he does. Sanders supporters here of course are busy hoisting up the bus to shove Emily's List under it.

[TwilightGardener]

16. What should he apologize for?

Edit to add: I couldn't give a rat's patootie about Emily's List.

[mcar]

17. For his campaign manager's mistake

At least the manager should apologize.

[TwilightGardener]

18. For what?

[mcar]

20. Not going to play 20 questions with you

Read up on it if you like - there are several threads about the issue on GD .

[TwilightGardener]

22. Identify what's sexist about the comments.

[Cali_Democrat]

19. His condescending campaign manager:

“Look, she’d make a great vice president,” the campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, said of Mrs. Clinton to John Heilemann of Bloomberg Politics. “We’re willing to give her more credit than Obama did. We’re willing to consider her for vice president. We’ll give her serious consideration. We’ll even interview her.”

They'll actually consider interviewing her to be Bernie's VP even though she's currently 30 points ahead of Bernie in the polls.

How magnanimous of them!

[TwilightGardener]

21. How is that sexism? I need someone to show me where not displaying proper reverence

for Hillary Clinton and her Presidential ambitions is sexist. I think she'd make a crappy VP. She made a bad SoS. Is that sexist?

[tammywammy]

23. Emily's List never called it sexist

They said condescending. It was condescending.

[TwilightGardener]

24. OK then. Bernie's still not sexist. We agree!

[Truprogressive85]

27. deja vu

Didn't HRC say Obama campaign was filled with sexism ?
because according to her memoir the Obama Campaign asked her to attack Sarah Palin

[MohRokTah]

29. This is what comes from a campaign focusing on a singular policy...

while ignoring the big picture.

[Vinca]

30. This is really ridiculous.

I would beg the people at Emily's List to not play "poor, victimized woman." We're stronger than that. I didn't take Bernie's "shouting" remark as having anything to do with women period. Everyone - man, woman and child - has been shouting about guns. I really, really hate it when women do this. It makes us look like a bunch of pathetic whiners.

[leftofcool]

34. I think this has to do with what Devine said.

[Vinca]

39. Then it's doubly perplexing.

Wasn't Devine's response a response to Hillary's remarks about women assumed to be shouting? It's all so confusing. I hate election season when it goes into BS mode. Every fart is a major calamity, every burp a national incident.

[arcane1]

31. "EMILY’s List Endorses Hillary Clinton for President" April 12th, 2015

http://www.emilyslist.org/news/entry/emilys-list-endorses-hillary-clinton-for-president

So of course they're going after her opponents. You expected something else?

[Politicalboi]

32. Emily's list is a joke

Just because it bears a woman's name it does NOT mean it represents women in general. Bernie has done NOTHING wrong. He has nothing to apologize for. Just get over yourselves already.

[Nothingcleverjustray]

36. Emily's list?

Who cares?

Seriously, what do they do? Other than the same thing as yelp. They contribute to Hillary's campaign. Big fucking deal.

[fabrom]

37. Emily's List Bogus Outrage

How exactly is this condescending? If Sanders' manager had said that about Martin O'Malley, would that have been condescending? To tip toe around Hillary Clinton because she's a woman would be sexist.

Emily's List has always been for Clinton. They should stop being coy about that and stop grabbing at straws to make points against Sanders..

[99Forever]

40. So basically what you are saying ....

...is that Hillary found an organization that already has publicly endorced her to do a smear job on her strongest opponent, in typical Clinton dirty campaigning style.

In other breaking news, water is wet.

[bvf]

41. I'm sure the only reason Sanders's campaign

hasn't apologized yet is that they're waiting for you to show up personally to whine about--well, whatever you're whining about today.

You should do that. Let us know how it goes.
