Cool thing of note. Paul Song’s wife is Lisa Ling. Lisa Ling’s sister was once kidnapped by North Korea. And you know who traveled to NK to secure her release? Bill fucking Clinton. Yep, the husband of the woman he just called a whore.

He blatantly called a Hillary a whore. Nice little article Joanna, claiming it's only a little thing. I hate to see Gawker throwing feminism by the wayside to not forcefully defend Hillary
It’s a gendered insult, at its core. It exists for no purpose than to demean women for not being the right kind of woman, and to demean men for being like any kind of woman at all.
I’m wondering when people will see that so many Bernie fanatics are hateful, condescending, pretentious assholes who believe neither they nor Bernie can do any wrong whatsoever, ever ever Amen.
What kind of normal human being even whips out the word “whores” to use, unless they have some bizarre sexist way that they view a very real problem in government? It’s not a common word. It shouldn’t leap to mind for anyone, except those who conflate sexuality with corruption on a very core level. It’s not even…
I was super bummed when I heard that he said this. I’m so tired of people using words with negative connotations to refer to women’s sexuality. Dr. Song’s “apology” really comes off as a classic “it’s not my fault you got offended” non-apology usually reserved for Republican gaffes. Just disappointment at the casual…
I’m all for having a giggle every chance I get but I totally agree. This is nothing but more misogyny flung at Hillary yet again. AGAIN. So predictable as to be almost boring at this point. But most definitely not funny.
Oh okay see, I was actually really annoyed by his comment but can tell from your tone that I’m being an over-sensitive harpy bitch who is mos def. not cool like our Lord and Savior Bernie Sanders.
This isn’t nothing and it’s frustrating to have such a dismissive response about it from a blog that’s ostensibly feminist.
Ok, so I had a bunch of white people telling me how minorities should vote for Bernie because he’s obviously so good for us and why can’t we just realise that??!!
Actually I very much welcome conversation and critical thinking. Unfortunately the Bernie Bros are usually too drunk to engage in such civilities.
I do love a millennial who thinks 40 years olds are so old we don’t know what the internet is or how to use it. (do they not teach the history of the technology in school?)
The more clear it is that Sanders is not going to be the nominee the more immature and rude a certain subsection of his supporters are getting. It’s vicious. At the same time Sanders is refusing to release tax returns and doesn’t have actual plans for his main campaign promises. Radio silence.
It drives me nuts when Sanders’ supporters try to pretend he’s some noble grandfather figure and not someone with a healthy ego who wants to win. There isn’t anything necessarily wrong with it but they condemn Clinton for these things. It’s infuriating.
I heard an interview with him a while ago where part of his strategy was to flip PLEDGED delegates at the convention (this was before he ran off a string of wins, so he’s stopped saying it now). Bernie wants to win. He’ll take any path he can find to get there. Good for him, but let’s all stop pretending anyone’s…
Is Trevor Noah suggesting that Bernie Sanders is being prevented from screwing the country? I’m not sure how that metaphor is working here.
People who want to make sure they have an ideologically pure voting record at the expense of real people getting hurt by letting a Republican win really make my heart hurt.
Meh. I get his point about campaign finance, but I find the fact that Sanders has ZERO women in the top ten highest paid positions on his campaign far more obscene.
Dude, I’m fucking done with Sanders. I gave him a ton of money and I wish I could ask for it back. This fundraiser was done specifically to raise money for downballot candidates—the kind of congresspeople Sanders would actually need to fuel his imaginary revolution.
No sighs from me.
