You sound suspicious, Ed. Nuclear Unicorn Aug 2015 #28

The fact that it is essentially another protected Hillary Clinton safehaven makes me extra suspish. Ed Suspicious Aug 2015 #33
I just got banned from the AA forum. BillZBubb Aug 2015 #36

I don't agree with telling anyone SusanCalvin Aug 2015 #7
it was not just a hash tag. it was the name of the action. And it was what they demanded of him. cali Aug 2015 #8
Even leaving my objection aside, SusanCalvin Aug 2015 #13
It called for "bullying". Not good. So where is the Gov. Security on this since he is glinda Aug 2015 #67

Their hashtag is outrageous. I wish he had stood up to them and asked the event organizers pnwmom Aug 2015 #47
Well daredtowork Aug 2015 #48
Whoever they were, he shouldn't have abandoned the stage and all the people pnwmom Aug 2015 #49
We totally agree on that daredtowork Aug 2015 #50
He didn't open his LA rally w/BLM. His press secretary, newly hired from Ralph Nader's Public MADem Aug 2015 #51
where did you get the info on Symone Sanders working for Nader can you link it up for us? azurnoir Aug 2015 #53
It's the top item in her resume at LINKED IN. MADem Aug 2015 #54
your title line claim was that she worked for Ralph Nader which she did not azurnoir Aug 2015 #58
He founded the joint. It's still recognized as "Ralph Nader's Public Citizen." MADem Aug 2015 #59
Really? Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch disassociated itself with Nader 14 years ago azurnoir Aug 2015 #63
He's still listed as their founder on all their documents, and his "associate" sits on the board. MADem Aug 2015 #64
I do entirely understand your need to associate Symone Sanders with Ralph Nader azurnoir Aug 2015 #65
That's why his name is still on all their documents as founder, and that's why his long-term MADem Aug 2015 #68
maybe because he was the founder but has not had any actual role since 2000 or 2001? azurnoir Aug 2015 #69
His "associate" has maintained an active role. MADem Aug 2015 #70
Do you have any proof that Nader still takes an active role in Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch? azurnoir Aug 2015 #71
He is incapable of "letting go." He is an 81 year old man who doesn't have the MADem Aug 2015 #74
see post #72 I'll link it for you azurnoir Aug 2015 #76
That's nice. I don't think they're inclined to genuflect, but that doesn't mean anything. MADem Aug 2015 #79
They're supposedly still so cozy with Nader but yet don't mention him on their about us page azurnoir Aug 2015 #72
COZY is your word. He still has influence, and he does it through the board. MADem Aug 2015 #90
and a real Dem can never be associated with Ralph Nader in any, however distant, way? Fast Walker 52 Aug 2015 #73
No--YOU'RE the one doing the implying, in post 73, in fact! MADem Aug 2015 #143
I wasn't offended, but you're the one who brought it up over and over Fast Walker 52 Aug 2015 #192

How sad to have to try to smear Sen Sanders using the Nader name. rhett o rick Aug 2015 #135
Public Citizen was one of the best things Nader ever did. It has a fine reputation, even MADem Aug 2015 #142
Great! We'll go back to talking about Goldwater Girl. jeff47 Aug 2015 #75
He doesn't want to disassociate--there's a difference. MADem Aug 2015 #78
And Goldwater, if he were still alive, would not want to disassociate from Clinton. jeff47 Aug 2015 #81
But Sanders' writings live on--should we bring those up, so long as we're following your absurd MADem Aug 2015 #82
It's your model, not mine. jeff47 Aug 2015 #84
No--it's yours. MADem Aug 2015 #85
Pssst...who started the claim that past associations are forever? jeff47 Aug 2015 #87
Only counts if they are actual associations. A teenager doing what her daddy might like is not MADem Aug 2015 #89
It was an actual association. jeff47 Aug 2015 #98

Thanks for clarifying! daredtowork Aug 2015 #122
I automatically peg you as a Hillary person because you don't post anything critical of her.. frylock Aug 2015 #140
I don't think I need to add to the 90% anti-Hillary posts here. pnwmom Aug 2015 #153
yes, you defend her against unfair attacks by continually misrepresenting PLCAA. frylock Aug 2015 #155
Gun control is the major issue I have a problem with Bernie about, and I don't misrepresent the PLCA pnwmom Aug 2015 #156
Yet you focus your criticism on Sanders alone.. frylock Aug 2015 #157
Blah, blah, blah. I already explained that but you won't listen. Bye! pnwmom Aug 2015 #158

The host ended the event BECAUSE Bernie abandoned the stage. pnwmom Aug 2015 #116
