Oh, what a difference eight years makes – when it comes to Hillary Clinton, that is. Bernie Sanders, not so much. He has hardly changed in 30 years. If Bernie Sanders were debating the 2008 version of Hillary Clinton today, in most cases the differences would be more profound. When it comes to guns, however, in 2008 Hillary Clinton sounded a lot like Bernie Sanders.

“There are some who say that this [gun violence] is an urban problem,” Hillary Clinton told the Charleston, South Carolina, NAACP recently in a clear reference to Bernie Sanders. “Sometimes what they mean by that is: It’s a black problem. But it’s not. It’s not black, it’s not urban. It’s a deep, profound challenge to who we are.”

Clinton was referring to Sanders saying: “We can’t have people demagoguing against folks just because they go out and hunt and they own guns, on the other hand, rural America has got to understand that guns in Vermont are not the same thing as guns in Chicago where they’re used to kill kids or to shoot at police officers.”

Sanders has often substituted “cities” for “Chicago” but in no way has ever called guns an “urban problem.”

Even more disturbing, Hillary Clinton held the same position on the “urban/rural divide” in 2008 when debating President Obama. Like Sanders, Clinton tried to make the case that she was best positioned to bridge the divide, because after all she grew up around guns. She argued that hunting and shooting were a way of life in America and part of our culture.

In a one of the 2008 debates, Clinton said, “We have one set of rules in NYC and a totally different set of rules in the rest of the state. What might work in NYC is certainly not going to work in Montana. So, for the federal government to be having any kind of blanket rules that they’re going to try to impose, I think doesn’t make sense.” Bernie has never argued against any federal gun restrictions …

1. She owes the country an apology

On this, yes, she owes Senator Sanders an apology.

She's great at calling out the other guy when it is she that's full of shit.

I never thought I would post this. While it is obviously fact filled (sorry, her words) I don't think it's what if important. Maybe I'm wrong. It speaks to character. She has none

I'm sure she'll get right on apologizing to Sanders right after she apologizes to Obama

6. oh, there are a ton out there

With many more reality checks. But, they're not how I think we should go to get Bernie elected.

However, with the shit she's been saying, her crap about Bernie being sexist, the unmitigated gall to just so blatantly spew lies and twist words as noted in the OP, is making me rethink what's fair play with her.

9. I am already there

The only thing I will not do is post rw flame bait. That remains off limits. OTOH I was never one pull punches in the first place. I never voted for her. I hopefully never will have to.

In the rw shit.

Nope, we won't have to worry about having to vote for her. Bernie has the nomination
