Comment from Skinner in ATA


"And speaking of people who bring nothing positive to the discussion: There are a few Bernie Sanders supporters here on DU who have been utterly dismissive of the legitimate concerns of large segments of the Democratic base. Their attitude is totally human but also completely antithetical to their candidate's efforts to broaden his appeal within the Democratic party. I isn't "fair" but it is a good thing that that type of behavior would NEVER be permitted from a Hillary supporter here on DU, because that type of behavior is a huge turn-off and would not help Hillary in the slightest."

There is a lot more here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12598186

Sounds like a shot across the bow to me.

Good for Skins.  I was afraid he might not have it in him.

It's past time the Bernies learned their place; sitting at the feet of, and learning from, professional Democrats who know better what the Democrat party needs, than they do.

Ouch.

Let the purge begin!

    You Sanders supporters are in for a very rude awakening when he finally drops out. It will be very, very bloody on DU.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Yeah, 'cuz the Hitlery Jugend is NEVER dismissive and obnoxious about other candidates...

I think it's great that Skimmer thinks his DUmmies will know what "antithetical" means.

Isn't that an ingredient used in the cooking forum?

[Ptarmigan]

I could see Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders dropping out. Lincoln Chafee or Martin O'Malley have a better chance.

He may be risking a Tums vs. Rolaids debate thread.

Is that stained dress blue or gold?

Just like in 2008 when the mandate went out htat Obama was not to be tarnished by Hillary supporters lest you run the risk of a granite pizza...Skinner has passed down the edict for 2015 that his wife's employer is not to be criticized.

...Skinner has passed down the edict for 2015 that his wife's employer is not to be criticized.

I'm however loathe to find fault with that.

It's his real-estate, and he's kindly allowed the primitives to romp and play on it at will the past fourteen years--and even for free, if they're not inclined to donate--and a magnanimous, generous, giving person has every right to demand respect from his beneficiaries.

Something Skins has gotten damned little of, from the primitives, the past fourteen years.

In fact, I suspect decent and civilized people respect Skins more than his own primitives do.

Too, there's this perverse notion of the Bernie primitives that they know more than, or about as much as, professional Democrats, what's good for the Democrat party.

Talk about chutzpah.  The primitives don't know anything more about what's good for their own political party, than a pig knows about Christmas.

I think Skins has got to do this sort of thing more often, so as to remind the Bernie primitives that humility is the beginning of wisdom; that they need to stay in their place until they begin to understand things presently too deep for them to comprehend.
