... and then, years later, running as a Democrat after you lose...

... Then again, what am I saying -- I suppose it's no different than David Brock... [img][/img]

... and we all trust his sincere concern for progressive values... [img][/img]

It was their PAC not the group or its members. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #11

Their PAC endorsed her, not the group. Why did you edit that part out? beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #9

PACs are typically the only arm of *any* organization who ever endorse. PeaceNikki Mar 2016 #12

It's disingenuous to say the group endorsed her. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #13

No, it's really pretty common. And it's the headline of the article in the OP. PeaceNikki Mar 2016 #14

Except the op deliberately left out the first two paragraphs. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #15

I posted the thread. And just stop it. kstewart33 Mar 2016 #26

You skipped the first two paragraphs. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #28

Not true. BlackCoffeeinNYC Mar 2016 #48

*Can*? Sure. Does? That's not typically how they work. PeaceNikki Mar 2016 #50

Yes, it is, especially social justice organizations. BlackCoffeeinNYC Mar 2016 #53

Duh! A nonprofit cannot endorse, so the PAC does the endorsement ... n/t Onlooker Mar 2016 #23

So the op misrepresented the truth by omission. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #25

Largest Peace Group Endorses Sanders Onlooker Mar 2016 #31

That doesn't prove I'm wrong, I said the op omitted the information. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #32

you certainly did attempt to imply the PAC dos not speak for the organization-- Sheepshank Mar 2016 #35

Nice try, SS. Unless you can link to my saying those words you're lying. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #36

and who's the liar now? Sheepshank Mar 2016 #37

That would be you. The PAC did endorse her, the group didn't. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #38

You implied much much more, and now walking it all back..weak n/t Sheepshank Mar 2016 #39

Maybe you should try addressing what I actually posted instead of using strawman arguments. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #40

Scottie, come on, avoid the personal attacks Onlooker Mar 2016 #56

No I clearly wasn't, I was posting the facts, how you feel about them is irrelevant. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #62

The PAC does not represent the opinions of its members necessarily. PyaarRevolution Mar 2016 #60

I doubt many groups are unanimous one way or the others Onlooker Mar 2016 #63

Oh please, that's been debunked so many times, Bernie never opposed marriage equality. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #20

OK, I guess you didn't read what I posted. I didn't say that he opposed marriage equality PeaceNikki Mar 2016 #21

He didn't "evolve" because he always supported marriage equality. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #22

I took the poster all of 5 minutes to respond and probably took that long to riversedge Mar 2016 #29

"it"? Now Hillary supporters are using gender based slurs when they can't counter arguments? beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #30

I did not and do not know if you are male or female. "it' is gender neutral riversedge Mar 2016 #42

The correct pronoun is "they", "it" is used as an insult. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #44

Not playing coy. I gave you my reason. Simple as that. riversedge Mar 2016 #51

Oh and "she" is quick because "she" knows how to do a search. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #33

Then the compliments is yours. riversedge Mar 2016 #43

so now you consider all GLBT groups to be untrustworthy because of HRC? nt geek tragedy Mar 2016 #24

Great! Democrats Ascendant Mar 2016 #27

Color me unimpressed. BlackCoffeeinNYC Mar 2016 #41

Do you know something about their 'political clout"?? riversedge Mar 2016 #46

Yes. BlackCoffeeinNYC Mar 2016 #49

REC. and Thank you. riversedge Mar 2016 #45

Maybe it was the Nancy Reagan comments that put her over the top EndElectoral Mar 2016 #47

I'm sure their members voted on it too right? nt revbones Mar 2016 #52

I can't find any account of whether members were consulted in any way. But this is interesting... obamneycare Mar 2016 #54

Yes, she used to be a Republican. So what? So was Elizabeth Warren. PeaceNikki Mar 2016 #57

Voting Republican is one thing. But RUNNING FOR CONGRESS as a Republican... obamneycare Mar 2016 #59
