Sanders bows to the establishment
After several days of heat over his dismissal of several key liberal interest groups, the Vermont senator tries to remind voters of his record of support for abortion rights.

ROCHESTER, N.H. — On Friday, Bernie Sanders finally bowed down to the establishment.

Three days after getting himself in hot water with several key liberal constituencies by dismissing Planned Parenthood, NARAL and the Human Rights Campaign as "part of the establishment," Sanders gave ground on the point, releasing a statement highlighting the anniversary of Roe v. Wade and singing the praises of "Planned Parenthood, NARAL and all Americans who have been fighting the never-ending attacks on women’s right to choose."

His remarks followed a day after his first attempt to quell the furor on the left over his initial remark, which was meant to downplay his inability to win the formal endorsements of the prominent progressive groups.

Bernie walks it back...camp weathervane much Bernie?

1. That's about 25,000 rpm on the spin there.

He criticized the political leadership of the groups, not the groups or their work.

[nc4bo]

11. The stretching by Camp Weathervane would make

A rubberband proud.

It'd be hillarious if it weren't so sad and reeking of desperation.

[tecelote]

2. Wow! What a hit piece.

It's like Bernie is going to shut them down.

He's not the enemy of the organizations like Hillary would like you to think.

The article is wrong - the people have already moved on. Only the establishment is making it an issue and wrongly so.

Everybody knows he supports them but right now, I will say, they are acting like part of the establishment.

[riversedge]

5. Better than a hit piece calling the Clintons and J. Castro racists

[tecelote]

6. Correct.

Real issues should be the focus on all sides.

[draa]

19. If they have to focus on issues Clinton loses.

The last thing they want is to talk about the issues. Issues are for poors. Everyone else just avoids them.

3. When Cornered - A Wild Beast - Lashes Out - The Establishment Is Getting Testy

eom

[reddread]

4. where will they find citizens dumb enough to follow along with this?

Other than the Tea Party?

[restorefreedom]

20. very testy. gonna get worse i think. nt

[m-lekktor]

7. You all need some new material. This garbage has been posted about 20 times already. nt

[beam me up scottie]

8. There's that talking point again: "Bernie walks it back!!!"

It's like a memo went out somewhere...

Too bad the hundreds of thousands of women who support Bernie aren't buying that crap. He supported abortion rights his entire career.

And kudos for recycling, SAVE THE EARTH!

[reddread]

9. should be reposted in LBN shortly

as always, I demand a higher quality of psychop.
Never have I asked for so much.
somebody fire these wankers and hire somebody impressive.
its your only chance.

[beam me up scottie]

17. Yep. The Rovian or should I say Brockian attacks on Bernie have only just begun.

This week he's a racist, sexist communist who lied about his experience in a kibbutz (wink wink nudge nudge - what was he REALLY doing in Israel?).

Next week who knows?

A double agent for Moscow, a Mossaud assassin?

Let the rumours fly!







Note to jury: that's

[reddread]

18. lets just hope they dont outsource to India

because any random yahoo could do a better job.

[restorefreedom]

21. norman, coordinate.....

[Ed Suspicious]

10. "camp weathervane much Bernie?"

Hillarious.

[workinclasszero]

12. I'm just glad that Bernie realized he made a huge mistake

and is walking back his previous attacks against Planned Parenthood, NARAL and the Human Rights Campaign.

WTG Bernie

[hrmjustin]

13. But I thought he never gets it wrong!

K&R.

[hrmjustin]

16. Humor.

[ypsfonos]

15. Seen this before TNTC

TNTC - Too numerous to count!

:yawn:

[Orsino]

22. He needed to back out of that one.

Should have just called out the leadership.

[ProudToBeLiberal]

23. I don't want to be that guy, but I made the same thread 11 hours ago

[Sheepshank]

24. Voting records are all he ever touts

What in the fuck has he actually accomplished other than splutter "aye" from the sidelines?

[workinclasszero]

25. Good question

Bernie has been fighting liberal democrats his whole career so I guess this latest attack of his shouldn't really surprise anybody.

26. projection FAIL

27. Just LOL
