I read a great article recently about someone who is supporting Bernie and WHY. 'He treats me with respect' he said.

'just go out and tell liberals that everything is going to be okay'. How insulting, really. No wonder they are failing so badly to get what intelligent, many of them far more intelligent than they are obviously, are trying to tell them. They are so very much out of touch with real, smart and intelligent people.

So along that line I must not quote from Natl Geo since Murdoch owns it. madfloridian Jan 2016 #12

yes anyone who slimes Hillary is all good for you dsc Jan 2016 #16

I don't "slime" Hillary. Never have. Read the 1st 2 paragraphs at the link. madfloridian Jan 2016 #18

If Jeff Bezos starts using the post to carry out vendettas then hell yea dsc Jan 2016 #21

Well, you just keep me posted about acceptable sources. madfloridian Jan 2016 #32

Honestly I don't think it is unreasonable to say stay away from sources dsc Jan 2016 #33

BUT that article did NOT slime Hillary. Neither did I. madfloridian Jan 2016 #34

+1,000,000! Right on the money. nt MADem Jan 2016 #39

She just sent Chelsea out to say Bernie's taking away everything we have. madfloridian Jan 2016 #54

Adelson bought the paper and he has his guys in there. MADem Jan 2016 #57

The editor was tossed last month!!!! He wasted no time in (cough) "accepting a buyout." MADem Jan 2016 #49

Did you even read the link in the OP? madfloridian Jan 2016 #51

The point that Adelson bought the paper, and essentially fired the editor (take the money and leave) MADem Jan 2016 #52

Works both ways with both candidates. madfloridian Jan 2016 #53

Where am I "attacking you?" MADem Jan 2016 #55

Then you have not read the link in my OP. You are arguing with me over nothing. madfloridian Jan 2016 #56

I am not "arguing with you." I am simply bringing a link to this conversation that backs up what MADem Jan 2016 #58

Adelson? You mean the guy Debbie Wasserman Schultz worked with to keep jailing medical pot users? Warren DeMontague Jan 2016 #10

please find a post where I defended her on pot dsc Jan 2016 #11

Are you Sheldon Adelson? I'm talking about him, not you. Warren DeMontague Jan 2016 #13

it isn't ok because he has a clear agenda which he brings to his newsroom dsc Jan 2016 #15

So you're done with DWS, then, because she worked with him to put sick pot users in prison. Warren DeMontague Jan 2016 #17

frankly I had problems with her without knowing she had done that dsc Jan 2016 #20

She's a train wreck. Warren DeMontague Jan 2016 #38

Notice how you couldn't be beat on the Adelson matter, so the subject got galloped over to DWS? MADem Jan 2016 #41

If Adelson is persona non grata, great. Warren DeMontague Jan 2016 #80

There's nothing to forgive. nt MADem Jan 2016 #89

She told John Morgan if he quit attacking her, she would not fight his medical pot initiative. madfloridian Jan 2016 #35

I donated to Canova, also! Duval Jan 2016 #98

Do you mean the DNC chair hired by President Barack Obama, our party head? That DNC chair? MADem Jan 2016 #40

Yeah, but he never worked with Sheldon Adelson to put sick people in prison for pot. Warren DeMontague Jan 2016 #42

Obama has the power to tell her "You're fired." He does not do that. MADem Jan 2016 #48

From where I stand, DeMontague can tell his tale of woe wherever he pleases. n/t JonLeibowitz Jan 2016 #62

Why yes, he most certainly can. MADem Jan 2016 #63

a couple of bucks? More like four. Warren DeMontague Jan 2016 #79

I don't go there either. The stuff tastes like battery acid. nt MADem Jan 2016 #90

DeMontague's tale of woe. Warren DeMontague Jan 2016 #78

Ha ha ha! That's BRILLIANT!!!!! nt MADem Jan 2016 #93

Since she was later elected by the DNC.... madfloridian Jan 2016 #65

She wasn't 'elected by the DNC.' She was appointed chair by the party leader, MADem Jan 2016 #66

Here is the article and her statement about being elected. I'm not sure of facts... madfloridian Jan 2016 #69

She was appointed by Barack Obama. Joe Biden announced it. MADem Jan 2016 #70

Of course he chose her. I know that for a fact. Presidents do that. madfloridian Jan 2016 #71

She likely went through some sort of re-vetting process in 2013. MADem Jan 2016 #72

I'm sure he's thought about it. But, that's not what I'm on about. Warren DeMontague Jan 2016 #77

Did you ever stop and think that most people don't WANT to defend her on that issue because they do MADem Jan 2016 #91

Intellectually dishonest comment. He just bought the paper. Line of reasoning rejected. DisgustipatedinCA Jan 2016 #44
