There's an end to it? mindwalker_i Sep 2015 #105

I think this question deserves more attention than counting black people. Am I wrong?? DU? Am I? nt Bonobo Sep 2015 #5

Nope. Phony distractions are more important that acknowledging a findamental problem Armstead Sep 2015 #65

Yes those damn "phony distractions"... Agschmid Sep 2015 #71

The notion that Sandes is a racist, or doesn't give a shit about it is a phony distraction Armstead Sep 2015 #95

Sanders is not a racist. Agschmid Sep 2015 #97

I wasn't saying you implied that Armstead Sep 2015 #99

Until it was brought up on this thread by a Sanders supporter Agschmid Sep 2015 #100

You're right, but I think that was in frustration by that poster at.... Armstead Sep 2015 #102

I love 70s films...I just do artislife Sep 2015 #16

Kicked and recommended. Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #18

Did you try Google... Agschmid Sep 2015 #20

She "reportedly" made the statements behind closed door. LOL. Not quite the same thing. Bonobo Sep 2015 #22

#MovingGoalPostMonday Agschmid Sep 2015 #26

Because a politician talking behind closed doors is EXACTLY the same as putting them in a speech. nt Bonobo Sep 2015 #32

Check this... Agschmid Sep 2015 #35

She's right. She should project the urgency of it more like Sanders. Bonobo Sep 2015 #41

She says it almost at every campaign stop. Agschmid Sep 2015 #43

I wonder why it doesn't resonate... Perhaps it's that "authenticity" thing. I think so. Bonobo Sep 2015 #47

Also, it doesn't help her that she takes money from billionaires... reformist2 Sep 2015 #52

I believe that Bernie would also accept direct donations to Agschmid Sep 2015 #56

Wow - you haven't listened to any of his speeches, have you? reformist2 Sep 2015 #59

Okay so let's play it out... Agschmid Sep 2015 #62

He's say "yes" but he's also.... Armstead Sep 2015 #67

Good we agree. Agschmid Sep 2015 #68

Listen to his speeches - He says, quite clearly, that he doesn't want their money! reformist2 Sep 2015 #70

As a super PAC donation sure... Agschmid Sep 2015 #72

Yeah, which would be limited in size, and would have no real effect on his total war chest. reformist2 Sep 2015 #75

You said he wasn't accepting money... Agschmid Sep 2015 #80

Hi pinebox Sep 2015 #88

Hi it's me... Agschmid Sep 2015 #92

Right, so pinebox Sep 2015 #93

I don't speak for "America"... Do you think you do? Agschmid Sep 2015 #96

One word answer: JackInGreen Sep 2015 #85

Try google. SouthernProgressive Sep 2015 #21

Is it? You mean the "reportedly" behind closed doors to economists above? Bonobo Sep 2015 #23

smiles are good. I hope you keep yours all day. Nt SouthernProgressive Sep 2015 #24

That's real Christian of ya, ma'am. nt Bonobo Sep 2015 #25

Well, I'm neither Christian nor a ma'am. SouthernProgressive Sep 2015 #50

Well, there WAS that whole "voting against the Bush tax cuts" thing... brooklynite Sep 2015 #27

Just another transparent OP... Agschmid Sep 2015 #38

She did it in day one of her campaign too... Agschmid Sep 2015 #28

And another... Agschmid Sep 2015 #29

Pffft. "Grow together". Powerful stuff! nt Bonobo Sep 2015 #34

Should we not try to grow the middle class? Agschmid Sep 2015 #36

Absolutely! That's the great thing about safe platitudes! Bonobo Sep 2015 #39

Again #MovingGoalPostsMonday Agschmid Sep 2015 #42

Oh and here is actual voting record... Agschmid Sep 2015 #30

Oh and this on Capital Gains... Agschmid Sep 2015 #31

Oh and then more from this speech... You know in public! Agschmid Sep 2015 #33

Hmmm, didn't hear anything about the .1 percent. Did I miss that? I mean those are her bankrollers. Bonobo Sep 2015 #37

You don't hear it because you don't want too... Agschmid Sep 2015 #40

I'm just WORRIED that she doesn't seem to really care about the issue like Sanders clearly does. Bonobo Sep 2015 #44

Clearly you are concerned. Agschmid Sep 2015 #46

Oh yes, I am very, very concerned. Bonobo Sep 2015 #49

I think she is fine. Agschmid Sep 2015 #51

She accepts money from lots of billionaires. What are we to think? reformist2 Sep 2015 #53

You are allowed to think what you want about that... Agschmid Sep 2015 #55

More... More... And More... Agschmid Sep 2015 #45

Am I missing the part where she actually suggests dong something concrete and effective about this? Human101948 Sep 2015 #78

K&R! Katashi_itto Sep 2015 #54

What are your thoughts on this? Agschmid Sep 2015 #58

Just in case you want to talk about it, the figure for the top .1% is 22% muriel_volestrangler Sep 2015 #57

Yes, what I meant was they own as much as the bottom 90% Bonobo Sep 2015 #61

Yes and she would like to "Topple" that... Agschmid Sep 2015 #66

So I'm wondering now that you know she's talked about it... Agschmid Sep 2015 #60

I was going to update it to say that she doesn't speak about it convincingly. Bonobo Sep 2015 #63

You should. Agschmid Sep 2015 #64

Not sure why. I made no declarative statement in the OP subject line. It is a question. Bonobo Sep 2015 #69

No but those damn "phony distractions"... Agschmid Sep 2015 #73

Yes, she does and YOU can do your own homework. There, I have set you straight as you riversedge Sep 2015 #76

So do only you get to set that standard dsc Sep 2015 #77

Thank you DSC! I KNEW someone would have the class to come in here and bring racism into it! Bonobo Sep 2015 #79

It isn't bringing racism into it dsc Sep 2015 #84

The lectures are well deserved. Bonobo Sep 2015 #87

I am not angry dsc Sep 2015 #90

You brought race into this first... At 1:32am. Agschmid Sep 2015 #89

Black people are just a "phony distraction"... Agschmid Sep 2015 #81

". . . including trying to incite racial politics to divide people with common interests. " Le Taz Hot Sep 2015 #82

Might be a good question, "Are you and your biggest donators paying enough in taxes" Babel_17 Sep 2015 #83

She says no. Agschmid Sep 2015 #94

Well, it would be great to hear the specific question asked and answered Babel_17 Sep 2015 #98

The list of HRC's top donors... 99Forever Sep 2015 #86

Ed Schultz said it best Saturday pinebox Sep 2015 #91

HRC is a tool of Wall Street and a bunch of petrofied Arab plutocrats - the top .01 percent leveymg Sep 2015 #101

So the Arab plutocrats have contributed to her campaign fund? Agschmid Sep 2015 #104

This is done largely through Saudi corporate acquisitions, banks and companies they control leveymg Sep 2015 #107

Well, she probably didn't cite that exact statistic, because it's false. DanTex Sep 2015 #106

Is Hillary saying it's time to break up the banks? Bernie is. Tierra_y_Libertad Sep 2015 #108
