I’m inclined to agree, but perhaps the reasoning is to reveal (in even more detail) just how terrible they are as a deterrent to teens, especially the girls, who might want to run off and join them?

I know; from here on, the debates get a lot harder before they get any easier. Imagine if even one more candidate starts aping (ha) Trump.

Idk, the family was also suffering due to people believing she was a willing participant. Shame on them. This family deserves empathy.

Each time I read a story like this, I donate to Planned Parenthood “In Honor” of some awful person. Last week, it was in honor of Bobby Jindal. The week before, it was in honor of “The Very Gross Duggar Family”. I guess it’s Ass Holeinson this week.

The last time I saw that many personlized handshakes Michael J. Fox was sending out Christmas cards.

Have you never sucked the lifeforce out of a baby before?

“Fuck that, I say. Sanders is many things, but he is not perfect, or close to perfect, or even anything other than a politician. In fact, Sanders and his plan to save blacks through redistributing wealth to narrow the wealth gap are deeply flawed, because the principle which serves as the scaffolding for his plan is…

Oh my goodness. I’m just wondering what it means to “battle” racism? And also if you actually believe that any politician can actually succeed in battling racism? Also, so if Bernie “can’t save black people” which, by the way I believe is one of the most ignorant and absurd ideas that I have come across so far in this…

I would say to you Mr. Howard that you should listen to him speak, because what you have garnered about Bernie Sanders is what any person can find from a Google search citing his “socialist” and “leftist” policies and how he was unable to give a clear statement about the BLM movement. I won’t diminish your feelings…

The problem with this post is twofold:

This piece of the #AllLivesMatter of political critique. Of course it’s accurate in its assessment, but it’s also absolutely tone-deaf. No candidate can save black people. There’s not going to be another Emancipation Proclamation or drafting of the Civil Rights Act. But Bernie is currently our country’s finest…

Then let’s just kneel over and die then. If the president with the single best civil rights record, because even if he hasn’t directly talked about racism (which is horseshit because he has for fifty years), he supported the ERA amendment in the seventies, gay marriage in the eighties, was the only one to call out the…

And please read your colleague Hamilton Nolan’s gawker post

This is about the dumbest article I’ve ever read. Civil rights activist Bernie Sanders runs for a president, has a good chance of really influencing the primary, and all you idiot “progressives” dog pile him...for what exactly? That he didn’t acquiesce enough to some protestors? That he didn’t bow down on the ground…

Yes this is relative: Because people have lost to much and everyone is acting nuts. The Economy matters, and we are seeing a socciety in decline. Listen to the Ballad of Hollis Brown by Bob Dylan.. this is happening right now, every day. Talk will not change anything.

Neat, go ahead and point out any other candidate whose positions, taken as a whole, are less concerning to you.

this is what protesting against your own interests looks like. Want a better America for black people? Bernie is your guy. “hmm makes sense, let’s protest anyways.” It’s almost so perfect I’m willing to believe any conspiracy saying these women were hired by the GOP/Hilary to disrupt his momentum.

When the right isn’t dividing and conquering the left, the left is doing it to itself. It’s sad how center-right is the only winnable position to take these days.

I would like to see more reference links to some of your claims.

Bernie has the unenviable position of being harassed for “not doing enough” if he is perceived to be too quiet on racial issues, and being dismissed with “we don’t need him to be a White Savior” if he is perceived as being too vocal.
