CNN’s hatred of Sanders becomes vicious

Oh God. I forgot about the Epic Beard Man.

Call the Amber Lamps!

There's some kind of epic beard man old geezer in every neighborhood or so it seems.
I guess Bernie was the epic socialist beard man of his day back in Vermont.

When I was a teenybopper growing up in Bethesda, MD in the 60's we had this old guy who was a retired sheriff from Mille Lacs Minnesota.
He drove a rusty old ****-box 1967 Dodge Polara with a 383 in it and he always had a runty little black dachsund named "Hilda" who he said was "his deputy".
He always had his grey hair all slicked back with "hair grease" and he always wore one of those old WW2 leather bomber jackets.

Crazy old fart, he was a real hoot, he'd stop by while we'd be working on our muscle cars, acting all magnanimous handing out beers and Chesterfield cigarettes, lending us tools, and telling us war stories and bragging about "all the cold ***** he used to get back up in Minnesota in the old days, not like you punks who think two minutes in the back of a flivver is some kinda thrill."
"You young punks oughta get a taste of what it's like when you have to keep warm all night long with a classy lady in the dead of winter!"
Bla bla bla, quack quack quack etc etc etc...you get the idea. :lamo

But that old fart was as strong as an ox, as we learned the day he helped us drop a big block MoPar into one of our cars.
And he got right up under the damn thing and helped hold the transmission while we bolted it into place.
He had to be seventy-something, but it didn't seem to matter.

Hats off to you, Sheriff Bill Corbin.
I maybe shoulda pursued your grand niece more, she was a looker!
 
Well CNN is biased towards the left. Specifically, the organization is biased towards the Clinton/Kennedy "traditional" Democratic Left. The so-called "Coastal Corridor" billionaire elite Left. It is not biased towards the traditional Working Class Socialist Left that is more popular in countries that have actual stratified classes.

Anyone who goes against the grain of the traditional Democratic Party establishment is no better to CNN than a rabid right-wing Republican, and will be treated with as much disdain. A heretic is always more to be hated than an infidel.

That's not "left biased" then, because that version of the Democratic Party is neoliberal Republican Lite.
Sorry but a Joe Biden in any other decade would be a Nelson Rockefeller or an Ike Eisenhower.

Not saying that's a bad thing, but in this day and age, with everything having been pushed to the right over the last thirty years, it will take real actual liberal Democrats to even just put us back to the center.

Coastal Corridor billionaire elite Left - - SNORT...spare me please.
That's not Kennedy Democrat, that's JOSEPH KENNEDY.

Sorry but if you want an example of a real Dem, it's still FDR and by succession, that's Bernie.

That is otherwise known as the FDR left/wing, named as such after one of the greatest presidents of all time who was its last real presidential advocate. They are also the real traditionalists; the Clinton/Third Way neoliberal wing only really took over in the early 90s/late 80s.

Also Kennedy would probably be considered as a member of the extreme left by today's standards; he definitely has more in common with FDR than any of the corporate Democrats today, even if he advocated for tax cuts in his time (and tax rates were still relatively high after the fact).

Warren got all emotional. Thats why no woman will ever win the presidency.

OMG are you serious?
What do you call Trump's nonstop tantrums? If anyone needs a shock dose of Midol, it's that whiny bitch.
Even whiny bitches think he's a whiny bitch.
 
I’ve understood that since the Iraq invasion, and the fact that the Fox New line-up are CNN alumni.

**** the corporate media. TYT, Majority Report, Rising, Michael Brooks, etc, all provide a much clearer view of the news.

By any other decade, you are saying outside of the last 5 correct? The man has been a Democrat for over half a century now........

Also you say everything has moved to the right over the last 30 years and yet a Democrat from the 90s would have to run as a Republican to have chance to win an election. If Bill Clinton were to run the same campaign as his presidential one he wouldn't have a shot in hell at a Democratic Primary (if he could get enough support to even run in the first place)

Are you people even bothering to follow what thread you are posting in and how it might play into the comment posted and the one you people are literally pissing yourselves over?

And by the way, that move to the Clinton dynasty was sheer desperation on the part of the Dems, who stood idly by after the drafting of the Powell Memo and just LET the right run like Hussars smashing the peasants and their crockery in the bazaars.
The Powell Memo should have been the spark in the powder keg but instead the Dems thought they had it all wired for keeps "because Watergate!"

It's disgusting to think back at how lackadaisical things got. But it's also disgusting how we also let internecine squabbles between the lefty Left and the traditionalist labor Left turn into an all out war. That's what kept a relatively decent guy like Humphrey from winning.
And the same internecine squabbles did the same damage in 2016.

And the Republicans have been smarter than us these last three or four decades...they've been enjoying watching us hang our heads in shame while they built their reality distortion machine.

Why in the **** would I answer your ridiculous question spawned by you pissing yourself over an OBVIOUS reference to the comment Sanders is accused of making and the subject of this entire thread? You people are so mindlessly enveloped in your Trump hatred its pathetic.

No, I am not saying "outside of the last five" because he's always been a neoliberal third way stooge, regardless of his party affiliation.
Joe Biden, the guy who championed two tier sentencing for coke versus crack when both are just coke, the guy who championed "Three Strikes" laws, the guy who championed privatized corrections, that Joe Biden.

He's been with the Democratic Party for over half a century and in that half century he's been one of the driving forces that pushed us so far to the right that now it is fashionable to call anyone who doesn't love Trump a "socialist".

Seventy years ago when the Birchers tagged Ike as a commie sympathizer, it destroyed their influence for three decades...even William F. Buckley and Barry Goldwater disowned them as idiots, and yet here we are today, hearing Bircher arguments all over again, so clearly the work of Joe and all the other neoliberals has helped the far Right gain more legitimacy in the GOP than they ever could have dreamed of.

I don't expect anything different from you because you're not a Democrat, or even any sort of liberal.
That's not an attack, it just means I am pointing out that from your perspective, Joe probably looks like some bomb-throwing radical lefty.
Tell me, did you think Obama was a socialist?

That is a sincere question, I really would like to know your perspective.

I asked what you call the nonstop tantrums from your hero.
It's pretty clear who is pissing themselves, and it ain't me.
And it's also clear who is frightened by women, and again, it ain't me.

Nice Dodge, but I don't ride with impaired drivers.

And I told you what you can do with your mindless Trump hatred. You people are seriously so enveloped in your hatred that even an obvious joke MIRRORING SANDERS ALLEGED WORDS triggers you into you pissing yourself with rage over TTTTTRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMPPPPPPP!!!!!!

Its actually kind of fun watching you melt right the **** down.
 
At Iowa Debate, Bernie Sanders's Biggest Opponent Was CNN

If ever there was a doubt that CNN isn’t on the side of progressives, much less Bernie Sanders.

By the way, expect Bernie’s numbers to go up, not down.
Its not about a 'fix' or an anti- Bernie bias. Its absolutely appropriate for news stations to report this and use the audio. This is news. This does tell us something about how these two people handle conflict.
They were in a public place, their microphones were on, the cameras were on and there is no expectation of privacy under these circumstances. CNN or Fox or CBS would have been negligent not to try to learn what was said and report it.

Not sure it doesn't make Warren look worse than Sanders because she had to have known that a tenacious media would find that audio, but that does not mean that the media are fixing this against Warren either. Its not a really big story, and it would not affect my vote, but it is a good solid story and if anyone is at fault here, its Warren, not CNN. She should have said it in the debate, or she should have said in private, but this quasi-private confrontation was neither.

You do understand that much of the drive for stiffer penalties for crack came from the African American community? Seems pretty strange to hold that against Biden.

As far as being Liberal, that ultimately depends on how you define the term. In the classical sense I'm extremely Liberal, however that is diametrically opposed to the modern interpretation.

There are no if's, ands or but's about it....Trump mocked a disabled reporter on national TV. Just because you didn't see it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Is Ted Cruz disabled? Was obama's generals disabled? Because he's done the exact same thing with others, and no one knew who this guy was, other than the fact he was a liberal reporter.
 
**** the corporate media. TYT, Majority Report, Rising, Michael Brooks, etc, all provide a much clearer view of the news.

Good line-up. I especially like Michael Brooks and the Majority Report. And while TYT is biased, they admit their bias and STILL deliver a fair view of the news. Remember, fair does not mean neutral. Cenk explains the difference between fair and neutral here: YouTube

No one uses ‘classical liberal’ except libertarians. Just call yourself a libertarian.
 
I guess you will find out in November, won't you?
Oh I already know based on the last election and what bernie supporters are saying now. I just enjoy hearing it first hand. If you think about it, Bernie is already the third party, he's just running as a democrat and in general pissing off the deep dem state. Looks like that women can't win the presidency did some damage.

That's a lie.
 
It isn't about Bernie being too far left. They are not certain they can control him if he becomes president. All the others are 100% flexible - second by second - to being told there is a change in what they are to do and say for whatever reason that is - or just to do as they are told.

This is exactly it. Bernie needs to tow the predestined democrat line like Hillary not his own. This is why they are going after Trump like a pack of rabid animals. They can't control him and it's driving them nuts.
