GeorgiaDon 340 #2 March 5, 2016 I honestly fail to see what is condescending about Sander's post. On the other hand, I see a lot that is condescending about that so-called "comedian".

Don Of course you fail to do so...you're not Romanian and neither are you even attempting to see his statement as condescending from a Romanian POV. Bernie could have used another comparison, but didn't. It wasn't unnoticed and he was rightly trolled for it. Now, will it affect him much politically? I rather doubt it.

He said that internet service is much better in Romania than it is in the US, and that the US needs to catch up. Sorry, but I still don't see the problem, from a Romanian point of view. Remind me to never offer you or your countrymen a compliment, no matter how heartfelt. It seems you prefer to take praise as an attack. Now OTOH that "comedian", he is condescending with a capital C. Also not even a little bit funny. I'm not that much of a Sander's fan BTW, but still those "jokes" were just mean spirited jibes at someone for no other reason than that he is old. No class (or humor) whatsoever. Don_____________________________________ Tolerance is the cost we must pay for our adventure in liberty.

If I was one of those ultra-pc-trigger-warning types, I might generally be offended on their behalf...but I'm not. But I understand the offense of Bernie's condescending tweet. He could have just said "major cities in some Third World countries" or something general enough, but he didn't. I just thought it was pretty funny.

If you had two computers - you would give me one - Of corse! He replies. If you had two Telivisions, would you give me one? No. He says curtly, But why? You are a socialist like me, right! Yes, I am, but I HAVE two televisions.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
