(21,506 posts)But for me I don't really care who is our nominee. I have issues with both of them. I also like things about both of them. Neither particularly excites me.
I dislike Cornel and have disliked him since he started his tirade against Obama almost immediately after his election. There is no question in my mind he felt snubbed by Obama and has said repulsive things about him ever since.
Before this thread I didn't even know Cornel had anything to do with Bernie.
You seem very sensitive about Bernie and seem to attribute anything said about anything connected to him as an attack on him or a shill for Clinton.
Bernie is Great! I hope he gets the nomination I agree with much of what he has to say...If he doesn't Clinton is great too just in different areas, I can live with her nomination as well.
Cornel is an ass...couldn't care less who he is stumping for. The fact that he has fought for civil rights does not preclude him being an ass. It certainly would make me give him the benefit of the doubt but after the third or fourth baseless attack on Obama I came to the conclusion nope he is an ass despite my agreement with him on a range of subjects.
This happened before the primaries ever started and has been ongoing for years.
