ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Enough is enough. The Pope was not stalked by Sanders. OTT nastiness

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Apr 16, 2016, 08:29 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Agree that this is OTT flamebait. But I also wish I could vote to hide some of the responses by the Bernie "supporters." With flames like this on both side of the Democratic aisle, who needs Republicans? Geesh.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Immature, rude, over the top, untruthful-mean spirited and antagonistic.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Ridiculous post but not worth hiding.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It is obnoxious, offensive and typical of that poster. But not worth a hide.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's a comment about a politician.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

159. Courage that allows her to continue to stand against the lies & attacks

launched against her by the VRWC over the last 35 yrs, and which have been taken up by supposed "progressives" in seeking to defeat her. Courage in accepting the support of those supposed "progressives" after she wins the nomination, when she goes on to fight for the interests of the majority of Americans in the face of the continuing RW onslaught.

[cherokeeprogressive]

165. I guess I have a different view of what's courageous and what's not.

I've never really thought ambition was particularly courageous, and whoa... accepting someone's support? Courage is required to do that?

Last edited Sun Apr 17, 2016, 11:55 AM - Edit history (1)

Hillary is the RW cadidate!!

[baldguy]

193. The RW dupes are the ones using RW propaganda to attack & malign Democrats.

Hillary is the only Democrat in this contest. Just look at how much she s attacked & maligned.

[jack_krass]

199. I think your confused. Let me help...

We knock Hillary for being a corrupt warmonger. Right wingers *love* those attributes.

We are criticizing her *from the left* To me at least, Hillary *is* a right winger.

Hope this helped.

[baldguy]

247. Only one candidate has supporters using RW lies & RW tactics to attack liberal Democrats.

And it's not Hillary. She's one of the targets of such attacks.

This thread reminds me of nothing other than Newt Gingrich's list of dirty words used to describe Democrats.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/27/us/politics/the-long-run-gingrich-stuck-to-caustic-path-in-ethics-battles.html
http://www.uh.edu/~englin/rephandout.html

Note the commonalities.

The fascists in the Republican Party learned a long time ago that language is a means of control. Sanders supporters, by 1) insisting on using RW talking points based on RW lies to attack liberal Democrats like Hillary Clinton, and 2) insisting that those RW talking points are true in spite of all evidence to the contrary, they show themselves to be under the control of the fascists in the Republican Party.

[jack_krass]

262. Wrong again....

It is *not* a "RW talking point" to oppose Corruption, cronyism (ie getting paid 150M for "speeches" to those you would be regulating in the future) and warmongering(Libyan and Iraqi regeime change, gleefull cackling about killing human beings)

Why? Because THESE ARE RIGHT WING IDEAS!!!!

We are *against* these ideas, and hence, most of us oppose Hillary in favor of Sanders (the contrast is stark, almost overwhelming).

[baldguy]

265. There are a lot of ways to describe your opinion of a particular candidate.

But when you use the exact words, phrases and emphasis as those suggested and used by the most extreme RW fascist demagogues & their propaganda - and to the same ends - you support those most extreme RW fascist ideas.

You've let the RW set the stage, and you're perfectly happy to play the part they've written for you. That's OK. I understand that hatred for the Democratic Party and All Things Clinton is a thing - even among self-styled "progressives".

Just don't try to pretend that that extreme RW fascist-originated hatred has anything to do with reality, or that it does anything to advance the cause of progressivism, or anything to diminish the influence of RW propaganda.

[jack_krass]

266. I dont think im getting throigh... What RW fascist calls Hillary a warminger???

RW fascists LOVE war and corruption. What you say makes no sense.

[jack_krass]

268. Aha moment:Maybe RW fascists envy Hillary?

[baldguy]

270. From the beginning, all of the criticism of Hillary has been scripted by fascist RW extremists.

That supposed "progressives" can't discern the ratfuckery supporting Sanders speaks volumes.

[Arugula Latte]

251. Right. Those of us who have disdain for Hillary but support Bernie are "rightwing."

55. i'll let hillary speak her own words while feigning fatigue in 2008 interview with coffee cup nearby

[/br][/br]includes ultra-ultra-rare pittsburgh gazette video interview with her coffee

[center]

[/center]

I happened to have accompanied her on the trip and didn’t remember being shot at, as Clinton described. The videotape of the actual visit proved Clinton’s memory wrong–not just once but twice.

After my first report exposed the truth, Clinton doubled down and dug in, providing a second reason to question her memory of events.

Clinton never fully explained how she could have made such a mistake as saying she had ducked sniper fire when there hadn’t been a sniper in sight. Initially, she stated “I was sleep deprived and I misspoke.”

But as my report below (“Clinton Doubles Down”) shows, Clinton told varieties of the embellishment over a long period of time, not just when she was sleep deprived.

Had Clinton somehow convinced herself that it had all really happened? Or did she knowingly advance a false story?

“So I made a mistake,” Clinton also stated at one point. “It proves I’m human, which you know, for some people, is a revelation.”

It is crazy to me that any Sanders supporter can say that there hasn't been serious negativity directed at Hillary here (and not just with respect to policy disagreements). Some of the words on the list are absolutely vicious and personal.
