Did anyone hear the lady caller from AZ to Bernie Sanders ?

[kentuck]

...this morning on C-SPAN?

She was just unhappy with all the "class warfare".

Then Bernie proceeded to rattle off 4 or 5 examples of class warfare for her. He reminded her that when companies shut down jobs here in this country and move them to China, India, or Honduras for cheaper wages, that is class warfare.

Senator Sanders was magnificent this morning!

[BolivarianHero]

1. Yeah..

But in her case "class warfare" meant "helping *insert her favourite slur for Hispanics here*".

[TCJ70]

2. Where can we find...

...59 more Bernies?

[Cleita]

6. They are out there, but they won't get anywhere in

our system until we take the money out of it.

[gateley]

3. "Senator Sanders was magnificent this morning!" - he often is! Sorry I missed it. nt

[gratuitous]

4. Someone actually prepared for a played-out talking point?

Amazing! It's almost as if Sen. Sanders has heard this tired carping before, and had an answer all prepared to refute it. He's probably got some super-human power, so we can't expect any of the Democrats to do the same thing. Better to just enjoy the rare moment than expect this to be a trend or something.

[kentuck]

5. It did seem like he was waiting for that one.

:-)

[Cleita]

7. He has actually said it many times on

the Brunch With Bernie segment on the Thom Hartmann show. For those who don't know about it he goes on Thom for the first hour every Friday and answers questions directly from callers in.

13. And the thing is . . .

These tired old talking points come up every stinkin' time, but you can count on one hand the folks who are ready for these fat gopher balls over the heart of the plate. Sanders for sure is one; the question is why every Democrat or Progressive who gets in front of a live mike doesn't have this answer engraved on a handy part of his or her brain. Some nitwit mentions "class warfare" and too many Democrats are reduced to babbling idiots, trying to play all sides of the question before arriving at some meaningless answer.

[kentuck]

14. You are right.

We have to question their competence.

[Vinca]

8. I love Bernie. He's my adopted senator.

[Sherman A1]

11. Is that the one who referred to his

"Communist" ideas or something like that. I saw him wince and then had to turn off the TV.

[kentuck]

12. same one..

I think?

[Cowpunk]

20. Watch it again. Bernie's response was beautiful.

The link has been posted in comments to this thread.

He took ms. "you're a commie!" to the woodshed.

[Sherman A1]

21. I will have to do so

[southmost]

15. that's the fired up spirited replies we need

when confronting those tea baggers...

she was explaining she wasn't rich by any means, then proceed to explain about a trip to Honduras

wtf, I can't afford to spend $$$thousands$$ on plane tickets to fly and stay in other countries,
and I can't afford to abandon my work, to leave either, wtf, she's a typical 'puke shill who spouts a bunch of nonsense

[lonestarnot]

16. Damn sorry I missed that!

[Elwood P Dowd]

17. Watch it here.......
