So is it time for Bernie supporters to accuse anyone who criticizes him of being anti semitic?

so can anyone else. If we want a female for president, we can't fall back on 'she's a girl, you can't say boo' and expect being elected.

in my lifetime. And I had high hopes for Warren, but that did not work out.
But not just any woman, one that will act like a real Democrat, and I don't think Hillary is that woman.

We wanted equality, not special snowflake status.
ROF is absolutely correct.

when they have posted something negative about HRC.

It's a good thing Elizabeth Warren came along so people could demonstrate that their issue with HRC wasn't that she was a woman.

I'm sure she went on SNL because people said her campaign was dull, and she needed to lighten up. She did, and people came away with a better impression of her!

someone asked who's your favorite guitarist? Not the greatest, best, most influential but favorite, a matter of personal taste. I responded Duane Allman. The originator then accused me of being a racist cracker because their choice was Jimi Hendrix.

I don't look at my "favorite" in the upcoming race as being Hilliary, but that doesn't mean she won't get my vote in she is indeed the nominee. We, as informed voters make our choice based on substance rather than labels.
