[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think it's unfair to Sanders to quote the incendiary parts of this piece without noting that Sanders is really calling for something more positive. Read in fair context, it seems clear the incendiary parts are meant to grab attention and reflect a reality that Sanders is suggesting we try to shed. Yes, it's bad, melodramatic 1970s writing, but it's not intended to denigrate women.

I know some Sanders supporters will lift quotes out of context to unfairly attack Clinton. So it might feel justified to cite this piece in retaliation. But I think we Clinton supporters should stick to fair discussions of the issues. I believe Clinton prevails over Sanders on a fair discussion of the issues, so let's keep it there.

I hope Sanders supporters will hold themselves to the same standard of conduct.

The point isn't that Sanders wants to tie women up.  We all know that's not true.  The point is that Sanders thinks (thought) rape was an appropriate "attention grabbing" rhetorical device.

I disagree. [/quote]
