A man who is no threat, and believe me we've heard that a million times so far, is causing markets to drop. You have to love the propaganda people use. Creative but laughable.

Thru? We are seeing this a lot.

This is stupid, that headline is spin

The CEO of Blackstone was acting a little bit nervous, hence the comment. And besides that even Sander's comment made with humor is far from the "paraphrased" statement that the headline claims it was no matter how you view it. I repeat this is spin, and stupid.

were unsettled for 3 reasons. One of them was him. Now on This Week, he's completely walking that back. Read his own quotes.

This is the kind of stuff he's gotten away with, and he gets very hostile when challenged. He's walked back many of his gaseous applause lines when questioned, which has been frequent lately. That's why people say he hasn't been properly vetted. His comments don't hold up under pushback.

It's impossible. Stephen Scwarzman said this and Bernie responded that Wall St. is nervous because his campaign is going so well.

Why is that so hard for people to grasp?

Totally. It was on This Week, so it's obvious who said what, and when, and why. When he got pushback, he dropped his campaign bragging and walked back his self-promotion.

it's either that or carbon monoxide poisoning...kookoo for cocoa puffs.

Got it.


He wanted to be a badass at his rally so he quoted from the article about his badness. Then when he's later confronted, he backs down totally. That's a weathervane all right.

The RWers and corporate hacks are so scared of him--of course he's gonna beat his chest and laugh at them! Are you challenged in some way? Never mind, don't answer that. I have if all figured out.

That was the point of his walking back his comments. He does that a lot when challenged, something that has been very obvious.

OH, and I have you all figured out too. I'm superior that way myself, donchaknow.

Idiocy and desperation like this should be on prominent display for all to see. Thanks again!

And claims of superiority. LOTS of that!

just better at politics than them. They can't find a clear path to victory around that reality, so they triangulate and obfuscate.

Love these circular arguments that attributes a quote to the person reporting said quite.

Can't wait for the participants of this mind-bending exercise try to explain this new superpower they think Bernie has acquired.

Does not exist.

There is nothing to walk back. Surprise, surprise, editorial spin. He cited a Wall Street bankster blaming him for turmoil and said it was absurd. Hardly a claim or a walk back, just ABC.

world markets.

He reported to them what the establishment was claiming. He said it is absurd.

they know its bullshit. But, what else do they have? nothing

at about the 3:10 min mark. Sanders never made any such statement, ipso facto, there is no walking back going on except in the alternate universe of Camp Weathervane.

1. Bernie didn't say it.
2.

... perhaps you can explain how one "walks back" a claim made by someone else? Or are we now responsible to cover for the idiocy of every fucking yahoo that says something ridiculous?

What, quoted above, is not true? Did Schwarzman not say that? Is he not part of the Wall Street establishment? Is saying Schwarzman was absurd really a walk back? ABC is the part of the political establishment.

God these people are scum.

On youtube: Blackstone CEO: Bernie Sanders Scares the Markets

The headline is blatantly misleading. You can't walk back something you never said in the first place.

Please tell me you understand that much.

said said something like, Bernie Sanders will end the world as we know it.

Walking back stupid statements

But keep the sleaze train running why dontcha?

Does not exist.

statements, since some choose to be too obtuse to comprehend its meaning.

attacked the leadership of PP. That is not ok. I get you and others thinks so, but I stand with the President of PP and all the outrageous RW attack of the last couple years.

Not to mention the diss as 'establishment' simply because they did not support Sanders, when Sanders is the ultimate participant in the establishment for the last three decades. So, he is simply wrong.

is not because of their support of Hillary, but HOW THEY CAME to support Hillary. And given that the president of PP's daughter is working on the Clinton campaign, makes their endorsement extremely suspect. Just as the president of HRC, who decided without member input, was once a protogee of the Clintons. This is the establishment of which he speaks.

And if the leadership doesn't care what their members think, then yes it is okay to attack them.

for addressing our concerns.

you obtuse. Bernie's record on women's issues speak for itself. Does that answer your concern? Now back to ours

Could be why Bernie only seems to care about 98% white Iowa and New Hampshire.

Looks like desperate times.

For shame.

that a campaign with an alarmingly huge groundswell of support for making sweeping economic changes could possibly cause Wall Streeters to talk.

Nice try though, I'll give you a C for effort. At least you tried.

this was a bullshit talking point from the rw wackos. scare mongering from the downtrodden 1%

NO SHIT. His ego is his No. 1 concern. He was either unwilling or unable to name any Wall Street execs he would prosecute so that tells you all you need to know. He can't answer how he would break up banks, but hey clap for Bernie! He is in favor of drones and is not anti-war. So many signs his campaign is all about his ego. I'm surprised so many fall for this.

- Schwarzman said "markets are unsettled"

- Bernie said "Wall St{'s} nervous".

- Market is infrastructure, Walls St. is a culture/physical address of a market access point.

- Schwarzman has no proof, just knows that he and his friends are unsettled.

My conclusion, you're either gullible, you failed reading comprehension, or your claim is that markets are people.

But I saw Bernie himself with his pandering explanation. What's your excuse?

Bottom line: Berni wanted to be a Badass in front of his supporters, so he used this article to brag on himself. Then when confronted on national TV, he denounced the article. Cant have it both ways.

And when he is confronted with it on national TV he can laugh at it again. That you don't know the difference between a market and a hedge fund manager, means nothing to the validity of you or the OP's claim.



Ignorance must be bliss.

pandering. Deal with it. Saying one thing to his crowds and something else when challenged. Your comments are bizarre.

Fail. Try. Again.

Your comments are bizarre and obviously just a diversion to your true intent, which is to attack personally. Fail yourself.

Good luck.

insane. If I did that to you, my posts would get hidden. Must be nice!

You obviously didn't watch the show or read the article. It's obvious from your bizarre comments. Hint: your interpretations of it are the opposite of what happened in the article and BS's response in the show.

Fail yourself. You just latched on to this to insult me petsonally.

You should write Martha Raddatz and call her names, too. She is the one who boxed him with his own comment walk back.

Wow, your dedication to histrionics is admirable.

now the 4th or 5th Bernie supporter to try this tactic. This is why it's hilarious that you claim superiority about "issues".

Someone needs to tell him that he should be in Stage 5.

her what your post is really about:

LEAVE BERNIE ALONE!!!

we all have to pretend we don't know that it's just an excuse to badger people who don't worship Bernie oooh.

"... the idea that Bernie Sanders’ candidacy because it has growing support all over this country is unsettling world markets is absolutely absurd."

He didn't something, something.

Actually, it's like this all over GDP today.

Never been good at distinguishing saturation from over-saturation. That's why I'm not allowed in the kitchen.

I waited for it to be near the top again to post this. That is all. No more bumps from me - I gave my reasoned reply above already.
