.. when the Sanders crew suggests that it will a new and horrid day in the run up to the GE when the right "takes off the gloves".

Please.

This ...

Now setting aside the laughable notion that Sanders's most rabid disciples are the ones being bullied rather than the ones doing most of the bullying in this election cycle, even mentioning Monica Lewinsky in an allegation against Clinton is both purposeful and reprehensible. It's reprehensible when the right does it and it therefore goes without saying that it's reprehensible when the left does it. In fact, it's maybe much more so from the left specifically because it's known as an underhanded right-wing attack line.

They're doing more damage to Sanders now than anyone else.

But see, that's exactly the thing: When the woman introducing you at one of your own rallies is bringing up Monica Lewinsky, your people are not focusing on real issues. On the contrary, they -- and by extension your campaign -- are focusing on crap. You can't pretend to be running an exclusively above-the-board operation, one far more above-the-board than the opponent you call corrupt, and have supporters and spokespeople coming on minutes before you claiming your political adversaries are "whores" or bringing up 20-year-old scandals that have no bearing whatsoever on the race. But that's what Sanders is doing more and more as the clock winds down to oblivion on his Cinderella candidacy. He's still claiming the moral high ground while his closest surrogates are given free rein to behave like petty political hitmen.

She knows it's a low blow -- particularly coming from a woman, as it implies Clinton was somehow to blame for the Lewinsky scandal -- and yet she took the shot anyway. Because she's apparently not above being a disgraceful asshole.


I love Chez's rants; he masterfully mixes insightful commentary with STFU one-liners. Thanks for the post.

along with Clinton and Obama hater Cornell West, and others, who enjoy throwing out the vulgarities.

These are the kind of folks representing Sanders. When Dr. Song's wife's sister was captured in North Korea, SOS Clinton was responsible for ensuring her release. In fact Bill Clinton personally made the trip to North Korea to negotiate for her release.

When sarandon says she might prefer trump over Hillary, what kind of message is that?

Killer Mike tells us that having a uterus did not qualify Hillary Clinton to be the next president

rosario mentions Lewinsky in an allegation against Hillary. That is as reprehensible as it comes

I won't even repeat what Cornell West said when referring to our President.

Those who wonder why Sanders is losing, just look at the people speaking on his behalf.
