Some people here are just funny as hell.

[catnhatnh]

I see one of them over in the Clinton group regaling them about how he was tweaking Sanders supporters in GD-P

I, too, love funny stuff a lot. You know what I remember that was funny-that time back in '78 when Hillary-then the first lady of Arkansas invested $1000 in cattle futures and made a $99,000 profit in 10 months with the "assistance" of two "friends" with ties to Tyson Chicken one of whom was investigated and issued a three-year suspension from trading and a $250,000 fine (at the time, the largest such penalty imposed by the exchange). Then she dabbled in sugar and made $6500 she "forgot" and when that came to light she paid taxes interest and penalties of $14,600.

Anyhow that was funny as shit! But the real hysterical part was this- In a Fall 1994 paper for the Journal of Economics and Finance, economists from the University of North Florida and Auburn University investigated the odds of gaining a hundred-fold return in the cattle futures market during the period in question. Using a model that was stated to give the hypothetical investor the benefit of the doubt, they concluded that the odds of such a return happening were at best 1 in 31 trillion.


You should laugh your ass off too...

1. But if you say anything about them plotting in their protected group

Then all sorts of accusations and alerts fly about how they're being stalked.

That's not even counting the goings on in the website set up by one of their hosts that suddenly everything on it became private after their shenanigans were outed.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

27. but they are hillarians, so it is ok.

It is always OK if they do things, but they are first in line to bitch about others.

[catnhatnh]

2. Bernie Sanders

Because Fuck this Shit. The gloves are coming off...

[Ed Suspicious]

3. Some guys have all the luck.

[thereismore]

4. She is a visionary leader for sure.

[glinda]

5. and...kick

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. Well,hell, who would not someone of her skill leading the economy?

[libodem]

7. Now they go off site

Ever check how empty HOF is these days?

[synergie]

18. Perhaps it has a little something to do with the mean spiritied malice and character

assassination that's prevailing here? Just a guess, many people are truly disgusted by the level of discourse, and the abuse that they're being subjected to here. Not just those who support Hillary. And the website you guys seem to be reacting to, seems more to be a right wing thing to bait you folks, and you're reacting just as they'd like.

[libodem]

23. You've got it right

Sad but true.

8. K & R !!!

'1 in 31 trillion' ...Nothing to see here...move along....

[snoringvoter]

10. Of course, you were alerted on.

On Wed Jan 20, 2016, 10:08 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Some people here are just funny as hell.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511038494

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

A two-fer. Not just an attack on Hillary Clinton, actually dredging up a scandal from 1978 - really, 1978 - but tossing in a few personal attacks on members of the HC Group here as well. This is not discourse this is just attacking for the sake of it.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Jan 20, 2016, 10:18 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Uh-huh. And? Argue the controversy, not alert it to hide. Hide request DENIED. As for personal attacks, not even close. Hide request DENIED.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: The issue was apparently "all hat no cattle" at the time - so this appears to be a slime and go sort of post
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Old issue? So what?
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Enough with the bully teens in both camps being jerks. Play nice or go to Freeperland
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

[SoapBox]

13. Of course The Swarm would have alerted...

And then reason for the alert?

DENIED.

...they make me nuts.

[artislife]

11. You know what makes me laugh?

All those videos on YouTube with h dodging sniper fire!. That just makes me chuckle even on a gray day.

[murielm99]

12. Why do you go and spy in the Clinton group?

Nervous? Worried? Spoiling for a fight?

I don't bother with the Sanders group. I have confidence in my candidate and myself.

[Cassiopeia]

14. Spy.

Now that's a funny word for why somebody might look at a group on DU.

[murielm99]

19. It applies in this case.

We know that some Bernie supporters come there to alert stalk.

[Fawke Em]

26. Pot, meet kettle.

[murielm99]

29. Considering that Skinner has said

himself that Bernie supporters outnumber HRC supporters about 6:1, you are full of it. There is very little chance of a jury hiding even the most outrageous posts by Bernie supporters. Most of us don't even bother to alert.

HRC supporters are in the minority here. The minority is not bullying the majority. It is the other way around.

[wysi]

30. In that case...

... DU is going to look like a morgue after Super Tuesday . Hang in there murielm99.

[murielm99]

31. Yes it will.

It will look like a morgue when all the Hillary haters are gone and she has secured the nomination.

Traffic is down here already. Many HRC supporters and POC have left because of the harassment and stalking here. Bernie supporters are giving this place a bad name.

Bernie may win a couple of primaries, but that is all. He will be history soon.

[Fumesucker]

15. This makes me laugh every time I think about it, which is practically every time I hear her name

And Volume II..

16. Wait. Am I actually seeing a Whitewater post on DU?

The shark, jumped it has been.

[RiverLover]

20. Citing Wiki is jumping the shark? Pointing to facts is RW?

How some Dems are forgetting their morals. But I suppose you have to lower that bar when you are ok with Hillary being our president.

As my Dad says, she's as crooked as a dog's leg.

[Recursion]

21. Actually it's about ethics in game journalism

[Dr Hobbitstein]

22. +1 nt

[catnhatnh]

25. Why no-I never mentioned Whitewater which was a separate scandal

See-Read here-the cattle futures are never even mentioned:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewater_controversy

Of course with so many scandals it is easy to get confused.

[Katashi_itto]

17. K&R

[Babel_17]

24. It was hoped a corner was turned, "It's Chinatown/Little Rock"

But the speaking fees, and what looks too much like pay for play with the Clinton Foundation, has people thinking no corner was ever turned. And so here we are today, with Sanders as the candidate she is being compared to.
