So that Culinary Union story...

[EdwardBernays]

Where the Bernie staff was sneaking into places and trying to convince union workers to support Sanders.

Odd story.

What's even odder is that the only source seems to be the union. And particularly the head of the Union Geoconda Arguello Kline.

I'm sure it would be purely a coincidence that she's "randomly" campaigned with Hillary?



That's her on the left.

1. Yet another Sanders conspiracy.

[EdwardBernays]

3. Uh huh

I'm sure you're right.

[stevenleser]

4. LOL, brilliant minds! nt

[Luminous Animal]

23. The entire story originates from one report and the sources in that report remain unnamed.

There are no pictures. There are no videos.

CNN seems to be the only news organization that actually visited a casino and talked with at least one union member, a shop steward, who said that when Bernie supporters were onsite, they were clear about their affiliation.

Even the Vegas papers seem to be unwilling to actually do any sort of investigation. They just reword or quote the original report and throw in some extra words.

[cui bono]

29. CNN? You mean that network that has shown absolutely no bias towards Hillary?

.

[quickesst]

27. I thought....

... conspiracy threads were supposed be in the Creative Speculation Forum........ where they belong. If not, then it is only fair the 9/11, chemtrails, no moon landing conspiracies etc be allowed in general discussion.

[stevenleser]

2. There is a conspiracy for everything that doesn't go Sanders way. That train is never late!!!!

[EdwardBernays]

5. Please

Show any proof aside from that woman who campaigned with Hillary that the story is true.

Or do you just believe anything you read online?

[stevenleser]

11. Yes, please, exactly. These conspiracy theories are so old. Give it up. nt

[libdem4life]

14. They are multiplying like Flopsie's Bunnies...like you don't know.

[stevenleser]

17. Oh I know. I see the nonsense here everyday. There is more conspiracies here lately than

on an Alex Jones fan site. All from Sanders supporters.

[synergie]

20. But that's not desperation or anything, right?

[cui bono]

28. So no concrete evidence? How odd. n/t

[stevenleser]

32. Do you want me to count up the conspiracies from Bernie fans here and post them as a response

Or OP?

[JimDandy]

35. So, no evidence? Why don't you, the Fox News frequent guest

do a little investigative reporting on this to get all the facts:

Let me get you started:
1. Did Bernie supporters actually hand out Bernie literature in a union dining hall?
2. If, so, what are their names?
3. Were they actually "staffers" or simply volunteers?
4. Were they union members or family/friends of union members?
5. Did they identify themselves as Bernie supporters or did they explicitly misrepresent who they were and their purpose for being on site?
6. Did a union member knowingly give them access to these dining halls?
7. Did a union member provide them with the union buttons?
8. What exactly are the rules for who is allowed/not allowed in those dining halls?
9. What access security was in place at those halls?
10. What rules if any, are there against campaigning in those dining halls?
11. When did this take place?

The press release put out by one of the top union people was incredibly meger, so help us all out here and get some real facts. Thanks...

[stevenleser]

36. Your hero Sanders is also a frequent Fox guest. I guess you will have to support Hillary now

Welcome to team Hillary!!!

[JimDandy]

39. Seriously, we all need answers to these questions. Are you, a professional

up to it or not?

And the "hero" business is not only false, it's pathetic as a response. You can do better for the Democrats than that. Pick up the phone, get on a plane, do what you're supposed to do to get the facts.

[morningfog]

47. Professional?!?! BWahahahaha

[JimDandy]

49. Well, I am giving his implied opinion of himself the benefit of the doubt.

Dems need more investigative journalists who can work to uncover/discover problems. He appears to be pretty conservative in his views, but hey, he could step up to the plate. It is within the realm of possibilities...

[JimDandy]

46. Oops... too late to be the investigative hero.

Bernie and the Culinary Union have resolved their differences. No legs to it and....no story now. Bye.

[Perogie]

52. You're so Smart, I bet everyone wishes they were like you.

[stevenleser]

56. I remember Hannity saying that to Hitchens to try to dismiss him.

Well done.

[cui bono]

41. So you have no concrete evidence of this happening. I see.

So you resort to deflection. I see.

.

[tazkcmo]

51. Why do you think he's on Faux?

He too doesn't like to be bogged down with facts.

[stevenleser]

58. Yup, just like Bernie. Guess you can't support him now. Welcome to team Hillary!

[cui bono]

60. When all of your replies lack anything of substance and include the rofl smiley

you have lost the argument. Sad that someone who is supposed to be a political pundit lowers themselves to the trademarked BOGGER level of discussion.

.

[JimDandy]

61. True. Clearly he has no serious creds. I'm going to have to hold my

nose and hunt around for a Fox News clip of him now. How he responds in text makes it hard to believe he is a bona fide Dem political pundit of any stripe, conservative or otherwise.

[randys1]

9. As to all these issues, culinary, AARP, I dont know who I will be angrier at

if I cant get healthcare without going bankrupt, i.e. medicare for all, and this is the reason why, I dont know who I will be angrier at

The idiot staffers who did it, or the people who made such a big deal out of it they blew Bernie's chances

We are losing sight here folks

[WillyT]

6. K & R !!!

[DanTex]

7. Conspiracy!

[Fumesucker]

10. Yep, vast and right wing

Oh, wait.

[OilemFirchen]

18. To echo our esteemed original poster:

Do you have any proof that it isn't?

[Fumesucker]

21. I was pointing out that conspiracy theories are not limited to only Berniebros

[cherokeeprogressive]

42. Did you actually just challenge someone to prove a negative?

[OilemFirchen]

43. Don't worry.

I'm just making fun of the bartender.

[libdem4life]

13. Honest question, Dude, who spilled the proverbial beans? n/t

[libdem4life]

8. So who spread the rumor...I mean told the story?

ETA: If that's her to the left of HRC...OMG...she's not a happy camper. Looks more like a Union, uh, whateveah.

[ProudToBeLiberal]

12. I'm running out of tin foiled hats. Nt

[libdem4life]

16. No, please, you must stay and help clear this abomination up. What are you?

[hrmjustin]

19. So is this a conspiracy in your opinion?

[treestar]

22. This version of Hillary is even sneakier

and contriving than the right wing version of Obama.

[morningfog]

48. But just as sneaky as the 2008 version of Hillary.

[Bread and Circus]

24. She looks really stoked to campaign with Clinton.

[farleftlib]

25. Ugh.

Can't say I'm surprised though.

[JonathanRackham]

26. Who cooked up that story?

[AtomicKitten]

30. called it

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511083877#post4

[sadoldgirl]

31. That picture shows extremely enthusiastic people, I must say.

[Autumn]

33. Are those poor sad people being forced against their will to be on stage?

[winter is coming]

34. Wow. Color me unsurprised. n/t

[BainsBane]

37. Ah, yes. The evil unions

Let's add the union to the enemies list that includes PP, NARAL, the Human Rights Council, and the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner (plus Al Franken and countless others).

It's amazing how many working-class and civil rights organizations are in on the anti-Bernie conspiracy. I wonder how they are able to get so many secret decoder rings?

[Omaha Steve]

38. K&R!

My union endorsed Hillary. Didn't make any difference to me.

OS

[stevenleser]

44. Good research. I'm so not surprised. Nt

[JimDandy]

50. NOT intentionally misleading. Corporate wiki lists her as President

of the union. The union's web site currently lists her as Secretary-Treasurer, but, oddly enough, positions her info before that of their current president, Ted Pappageorge!

She appears to be the real power behind the throne, so to speak. And SHE is the one who signed that low-info press release that turns out to have had no legs to it.

[ecstatic]

53. Under the bus they go!

[Todays_Illusion]

54. This 2016 campaign cycle is full of dirty tricksters especially against Democratic.

[jfern]

55. It's been reported that they resolved their differences

Probably other union members reminded her that she's not the dictator of the union.

[Vinca]

57. Knock me over with a feather.

I knew that story was stinky.

[NCTraveler]

59. I said this yesterday as a complete joke.

I literally tried to make it so absurd that I wouldn't have to use the sarcasm smilie. Lol
