Another day of anti-semitism, misogyny, racism, homophobia and death threats from Hillary supporters

[Luminous Animal]

[AgingAmerican]

1. They are losing their ability to hide it

[JimDandy]

83. They have been simply disgusting to Bernie and his supporters. Some HillBill posters

I've encountered on the net are simple bullies at the least, others are deserving of criminal charges, at the worst.

[Scootaloo]

97. They've never been real good at hiding it

Granted, some have a keener ear for the dog whistles. No, this has been the theme of the campaign since May last year, when Bernie was being attacked as a deceitful black-hating money-grubber for the first time.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

142. I could find plenty of horrendous tweets (real and fake) from Bernie & Trump supporters too.

Really does not prove anything. A bunch of idiots (probably not even real people) who are posting sick stuff. They don't represent anyone but their own idiot selves.

[Fawke Em]

2. Wow. I've seen some bigoted shit on Twitter, but these people take the cake.

[djean111]

3. Sad thing is, I don't see anything there that surprises me.

Before I stopped looking at groups that were guaranteed to have remarks that would disgust me, right here at DU, I read that Bernie is just a smelly old man.

[senz]

29. I've been sexually harrassed by Hill Bros here on DU

NEVER by fellow Bernie supporters.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Jury results

On Sun May 22, 2016, 04:10 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Another day of anti-semitism, misogyny, racism, homophobia and death threats from Hillary supporters
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512029508

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Copying n pasting tweets of questionable authenticity, using them to accuse Clinton-backing DU'ers of racism, antisemitism, and misogyny.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun May 22, 2016, 04:15 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This is really digging a bottomless pit. It needs to stop.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The OP is a post about politics, not about other posters. It also provides a warning about the presence of anti-semitism, which does exist and should be acknowledged as a threat to the common good. Definitely the OP is worthy of discussion, not a hide.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The DUer who posted didn't write these vile things - just copied stuff to show the vile behavior of some Clinton supporters. The opposite has been done to Sanders supporters and allowed to stand so I see no reason to hide.

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

[nc4bo]

8. Good job by 4 jurors!

Sick and tired of seeing post after silly post whining how meanie-meanie Bernie supporters are when people like this take it to an entirely different level.

There are assholes on both sides.

Whenbit gets to the level of personal smearing, you're gonna lose your argument.

Hate......and it's creeping into DU like poison ivy.

[Scootaloo]

98. Must have snagged one of the alerter's tweets.

[TwilightZone]

6. "Another day" = four months of cherry-picked posts, some of which are obvious trolls.

Nicely done.

[hellofromreddit]

26. "Violence" = one guy picks up a chair

The can of worms has been opened. Enjoy your worms.

[GoneFishin]

31. Yep. Bon appetit Camp Weathervane.

[Luminous Animal]

42. Bernie is a crusty old jew. Right here on DU and the poster has not been banned.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1059701

Many try to equate Obama and Sander's elect ability. Sorry Obama was young and charismatic. Sander's is an old crusty "jew'. If most of the Sanders supporters don't understand how he would play out there then I think you are missing America's underlying feelings about northeasterners and how they view "jews".
Hilary is still from Chicago.

I actually did not know that this DUer is still allowed to post on DU until tonight. I'm pretty upset.

[Duckhunter935]

57. I guess Hillary supporters do not get tombstoned

[VulgarPoet]

116. Well hey, point out a post that belongs on Stormfront when it comes from a Hillary supporter

and you get flagged for review. I'm not surprised that they don't catch the stones.

[uppityperson]

123. He is now banned, Skinner banned him.

[leftynyc]

121. That repulsive poster

had his posting ability revoked, so no, not allowed to post.

[Duckhunter935]

55. Sucks doesn't it

The Hillary supporters do that all the time and I bet you did not say a word did you?

[Jester Messiah]

126. You mean... sometimes internet threats shouldn't be taken seriously?

Then why was Camp Hillary losing their minds over the (apparent) fallout after Nevada?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

7. it would seem that they are anti-semitic

[Mike__M]

14. I'm having trouble visualizing

anyone as a "J*W N*ZI P*G F*GGOT"

The vitriol has exceeded my imagination I guess

[cali]

11. Yep. But as the media doesn't cover it, it doesn't exist.

[Cheese Sandwich]

15. TV news is a disinformation mill.

[Xyzse]

44. I don't understand why your post was hidden.

My apologies.

[Mosby]

74. It's the posters 15th hide.

[Xyzse]

77. Ouch...

[Ed Suspicious]

71. I'm sorry you wound up with this stupid hide. It was uncalled for. Your post should not have been

hidden.

[litlbilly]

12. We dont need an op like this to prove anything we dont already know. I am glad

it was left alone.

[uponit7771]

20. Or Sanders didn't compete in the southern states and lost by over 2.5 million votes? tia

[Cheese Sandwich]

21. Kind of hard to compete when your opponent has been anointed by god.

I don't know though. I'm not religious.

[uponit7771]

22. Like Clinton was in 08? Yeah, the long shot black guy beat her with less PDs but Sanders who has...

... been in government for 213423 years lost by 2 million votes.

That's just plane privileged whining

[Cheese Sandwich]

23. Quit your privileged whining.

Hillary swept the south with endorsements from homophobic and Jew hating pastors.

Deal with it.

[uponit7771]

24. Link and quote? tia

[Cheese Sandwich]

25. stand by...

don't stand by

[uponit7771]

27. ok, thx in advanced for those many links of all or most of those anti jewish pastors in the south...

... telling people who never saw Sanders compete in the south (like Weaver and Divine said)

[still_one]

144. Do you think most Hillary supporters are anti-Jewish?

[Behind the Aegis]

146. I can't speak for the other poster (s/he's blocked from this thread).

I don't think "most" are anti-Semitic, but some certainly are. What I don't appreciate is being told to "ignore it", pretend it isn't serious or offensive, or tut-tuted in other ways. I have addressed anti-Semitism no matter the speaker, no matter who the person supports (or doesn't support), and I have gone round and round, for years at this site, with people who constantly berate, ignore, mock, or deride anti-Semitism. Quite frankly, it shouldn't matter if it is "most" or "some" or a "crazy few", anti-Semitism should be condemned as forcefully and with as much conviction as some do with racism, sexism, and on occasion, homophobia.

[still_one]

147. Good, then we agree. Most Clinton supporters are not anti-semitic, but the OP trying to

leave a different impression by wording the thread thusly:

"Another day of anti-semitism, misogyny, racism, homophobia and death threats from Hillary supporters"

instead of using wording such as:

"Another day of anti-semitism, misogyny, racism, homophobia and death threats from SOME Hillary supporters"

So on that point BTA we do have a slight disagreement. While I agree all forms of bigotry should be condemned, whether it is "some" or "most", or even a "crazy few", in the context of this thread the point of the OP was to leave the impression that "Hillary supporters are bigots", but as you rightfully pointed out, you condemn it from whatever camp it comes from.

Incidentally, I have been around here for years also, and I am Jewish as you are, and have seen you put up with quite a lot, and you never back down when you see an injustice. So my hats of to you.



Also, I didn't realize the OP was blocked from this thread, or I would not have posted a reply to someone who is unable to respond, so I do appreciate you responding.

[Behind the Aegis]

148. I don't know we really disagree.

While I can't be certain, I don't doubt there was a certain part of the OP meant to reflect what you are claiming, but I think it is likely more a reaction to the plethora of threads implying the same about Sanders' supporters, especially the constant implications Sanders' supporters are raging racists, and many are women-hating monsters. I have seen a few accusations against Sanders and his supporters in regards to homophobia, but they aren't as common. Hell, I have even seen us (and Sanders) accused of being anti-Semites, though that is very rare.

I usually avoid these type of threads, no matter the candidate choice of the OP, but given some of the recent posts about anti-Semitism which barely garnered any views of comments, I was a bit "on edge." Some of the comments in this thread also really pissed me off. Since we have interacted in the past in a friendly sense, I figured I could say what I felt needed to be said without it become a flame war. I was correct.

Don't you hate when you respond in a thread like this and don't realize the person who you posted to is already dinged out?! I have done it a few times. It always make it seems like you are trying to "start shit" but in reality, you just didn't know!! LOL!

I just wanted to state that anti-Semitism is still bigotry and still worthy of condemnation (you can see in this thread why I felt compelled to say something, though not directed at you).

[still_one]

149. sounds reasonable, and yes I am not happy when I didn't realize someone got dinged, and I responded

to a post that someone cannot rebuttal on.

It is good advice to avoid these types of threads, and we do see eye to eye on this

Take care

[eridani]

105. Because it's so importwnt to win states that Dems haven't a prayer of winning in the GE? n/t

[uponit7771]

107. You have 51k DU post and you're conflating GE voters with Primary voters?...Really!?..we're not LIVs

Sanders position on this was bullshit from the beginning and we all know that, the decision not to compete in the "southern states" was stupid on its face.

He's losing by the amount of votes he didn't compete for and he's whining about it.

Sanders is stuck in an era were PoC weren't a voting force, we are now... I can understand that's hard to deal with for some but that sure in the hell shouldn't be the president of the united states

[eridani]

145. I'm sure PoC will be delighted to vote for more of the War on Some Drugs, the death penalty

--and differential effects of same on PoC. Ain't jail wonderful?

[uponit7771]

150. Cause most of us are stupid and immoral hunh? Couldn't be Weaver and Divine admittedly said they did

... not compete in most of the "southern states" where a lot of PoC live ... no... not at all

It has something to do with us... we think jail is wonderful hunh?

Again, Sanders and tRump supporters at some point start to sound alike and people know what a couple of those reasons are already.

The sad

[eridani]

154. Some people are into personalities and others are into issues

If you don't care about Clinton's ongoing support for the death penalty and the War on Some Drugs, then by all means go for the personality thing.

[cali]

10. I'm going to kick this so hard- just for all the self-righteous Hillary fans who

bray on about "Bernie bros."

The MSM sure as Hell hasn't and won't report on HSBB. (Hillary supporters behaving badly)

[vintx]

135. YeH, funny how the M$M only reports the Brock talking points

and is content to give Hilary's supporters a pass.

[Bluenorthwest]

13. It's of a piece with the themes they have worked on DU so none of this is surprising.

The work looks familiar, I think of it as Post Amnesty Nasty.

[SwampG8r]

16. Looks like what they've been saying here for over a year

Just said right out loud though instead of inferred

[Segami]

17. Kick

[cali]

18. kick

[snowy owl]

19. I've noticed,too. Graphics - inspiration, hope vs. meanness, mockery

There is a difference. Brutal emotions vs. issues. Seems like it's gotten a little better to me.

[hootinholler]

28. JEW NAZI!

That's a great one!

[senz]

30. Kick. Wish the MSM would cover this.

But they are in the bag for Hill, so they won't.

We really have no protection in this corrupt society except sometimes through lawsuits.

[Hoyt]

32. Have to say, that's some disgusting crud. To extent they are really Clinton supporters, we don't

need or want that kind of support. I have my doubts they are Clinton supporters (sound more like compound dwellers), but my apologies wherever that's coming from.

[Luminous Animal]

33. Some of the people were already researched by other people but I rechecked every one. And yes,

Hillary supporters.

[Hoyt]

35. Well those disgusting souls, and Sanders' supporters who say they'll vote for Trump need to

move to Idaho or something.

[Luminous Animal]

38. To date, there is only one poll asking if Hillary voters would vote for Trump and that was in KY.

More than 30% of KY Hillary voters said that they would vote for Trump if Bernie got the nomination. More than the opposite.

Too lazy right now to look for the link.

[Hoyt]

39. Not sure I believe poll. I'd vote and support Sanders if he captured nomination and I think most

Democrats would.

[3hummingbirds]

80. anti semitism

Whoever posted this crap is disgusting !!!!

[frylock]

34. Wonderfully charming people.

[One Black Sheep]

36. Hillary and her campaign seem to be missing in action when it comes to condemning this violence

why is she silent?

[JudyM]

41. I wouldn't be surprised if...

[Hortensis]

138. Okay, Wife of a Jew here. This is despicable.

It always is, no matter who it comes from. Social conservatives, who are rallying mostly to Trump (and to a far lesser extent Bernie actually), are the world's troublemakers because they are especially prone to bigotry with a very big, widely swung, fully loaded brush. There is also a smaller international far-left antisemitic swell that we're not seeing here very much, but mostly it's the nasty social and/or religious (lots of overlap) cons.

Liberals are the world's major anti-bigotry group. I am a strong liberal.

Hope this helps fill in the picture a bit.

[Doctor_J]

37. When is Mrs Clinton going to rein these people in? How can she approve of this?

I think we can now assume that the second choice for many Hillary supporters would be trump

[Luminous Animal]

40. Kick.

[ericson00]

43. Hillary's the one winning the Jewish vote, fighting BDS, didn't skip AIPAC

so please stop posting obviously unrepresentative (assuming they're real) posts from potentially fake twitter accounts.

It would be very easy to tar Bernie supports with hateful stuff too.

[grossproffit]

50. Which is why I'm with Hillary. These issues are very important to me.

[cali]

68. You guys do that day in and day out

[ericson00]

70. you mean the truth? Sorry I'm not sorry

n/t

[Scootaloo]

99. Says the guy who calls Sanders a "Self-hating Jew"

Please revisit this thread, note the lack of support you got from your fellow Hillary supporters and think, "What should I have done different with my time on DU."

I hope you find enlightenment.

[vintx]

137. Wow, thanks for providing some insight

[grossproffit]

45. Free speech has it's consequences. These people deserve to be shamed.

[Darb]

46. Looks like someone took the bait and swallowed it hook, line, and sinker.

If you think those are typical of Hillary supporters you are a fish. It's obvious to everyone but the bernies.

[jeff47]

48. This post of yours shows a stunning lack of self-awareness.

Tell me again about typical Sanders supporters. The irony will be very entertaining.

[Darb]

49. About them cutting off their noses?

You mean that?

[Luminous Animal]

62. Really? Not typical? Thanks for the info Bro.

[JEB]

47. K&R for exposure. nt

[saltpoint]

51. Invoking my admittedly limited

betazoid powers here while reading those comments, I'm frankly picking up some negativity.

No, seriously!

54. How about someone using a link to a site designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law

Conference?

What do you think of that?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1280191997


Here is another wonderful link from that site:

"Here, I focus on the control of Washington by Zionist Jews using the Obama administration as an example. Although a similar level of control by Zionist Jews can be seen in previous administrations, one could argue that their power has never been greater, as evidenced by the current administration."

"By now, you should have no doubt whatsoever that the media, Hollywood, the financial system are controlled by Zionist Jews.

Let’s have a look at more of Obama’s Jewish appointments so you can see that Washington too is controlled by Zionist Jews."

"Zionist Jews have effectively caused the societal and economic collapse of the U.S. This is a process that has been under way for several decades. Throughout this long period of deceit and subversion, they have created covers, distractions and deflections. They have transformed politicians into puppets. They have enslaved consumers using their banks. They have defrauded the entire population using their control over Wall Street. They have used their control over media, politicians and policy makers in order to shield any criticism of their crimes and their powerful crime syndicate."

http://www.veteransnewsnow.com/2011/06/07/zionist-washington-ensuring-the-end-of-america/

That site is loaded with that antisemitic bullshit.

and here is what the Souther Poverty Law Conference says about it:

https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2011/01/06/buyer-beware-veterans-today-and-its-anti-israel-agenda

Difference is what you posted, is no proof that those are Hillary supporters except someone using Clinton's logo and claiming to be a Clinton supporter.

The link I posted at the top was made clear within that thread what kind of a site it was, and nothing was changed.

Does anyone have a problem with people posting links designated by the Southern Poverty Law Conference as hate sites?

[dlwickham]

86. Just goes to show that the right doesn't hold a monopoly on hate

Disgusting and pathetic

[VulgarPoet]

125. No, the Right doesn't have a monopoly on hate.

Have a nice day.

[joshcryer]

56. 4chan psyops.

Ridiculous.

[Luminous Animal]

61. Really. And the Admins allow it. That person is still posting on DU.

[still_one]

119. not anymore

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=197337&sub=trans

[Scootaloo]

100. Hatful Berniebros are ALWAYS actual berniebros. Hateful Hillbots are never authentic, though

Funny how that works out.

[joshcryer]

103. I didn't say that.

There's almost certainly fake Sanders supporters out there. I think this site in particular is full of them. But look at how over the top and ridiculous the tweets are.

There are varying levels of hate, though. It's one thing to say "defund Planned Parenthood!" But it's another thing entirely to write racist screeds. The former will get you hundreds of recs in the Sanders group on this very site, the latter will get you banned.

[Scootaloo]

106. Actually it depends on who you're being racist towards

As to whether you get banned here. also, depends on what phrasing you use. And whether you're an "important" poster, or a "just a dude" poster.

It's adorable that you think the TOS actually applies on DU, more that it's applied evenly or fairly. I love that, never lose that innocence.

But even with that (Meager) threat overhead... You noticed how people are going off the deep end around here since the Troll Amnesty by Skinner? Yeah. Now take away anything like that. Take away consequences, and people will let it all hang out. Show people they can say whatever the fuck they want and nothing will be done no matter how low and vile and awful they get.. .and they'll tell you what's really on their minds.

Yeah. Could be fake accounts. But then we consider Occam's Razor. Most of these jackasses are probably completely sincere about both their support for Hillary and their belief that Sanders is well, all that shit hte tweets are saying. The two are absolutely not mutually exclusive, after all.

[joshcryer]

109. The thing is, the jury is handling that.

That's what the move to DU3 meant, not having to have moderators, but having the community moderate itself. It is more an indictment on the community than anything. As far as the amnesty, Skinner implemented it because so many AA members were being unfairly attacked and maligned and there was certainly brigading. After it went into effect, of course, several of them still got baited into responding to hateful trolls (in one case a poster responded directly to one of the trolls who was banned by MIRT shortly after, but they're still under review, even though who doesn't blame them for telling a troll to fuck off after they called them some really bad crap?). Do you know what that says to us as a community for hiding someones post because they told a troll to fuck off? One that got banned?

It suggests to me that there is no community. No sense of fairness or justice.

I look forward to see what Skinner has in store with the new moderator system.

[still_one]

124. Kick!!!!!!!!

[truebrit71]

130. Yeah, they got baited because they have no self control and just couldn't help themselves...

...right?

[joshcryer]

133. You have no clue what some of them dealt with.

Real life threats in their mail. Ridiculous.

[AlbertCat]

136. I have no clue...

.... that any of them have actually dealt with real live threats in the mail...


...except of course their word for it.

And if true.... it is a police matter, not a DU matter.


So let's hear about how the authorities handled these threats. What's the buzz?

[AlbertCat]

131. several of them still got baited into responding ....

.... in the same manor that got them on vacations in the 1st place.

It just proved they should've remained out.

[joshcryer]

132. Um, no, they got amnesty because they...

...shouldn't have been hidden in the first place. There's a reason jury pools are shrinking. Bad jurors who hide when they don't like someone aren't serving duty anymore.

[AlbertCat]

134. shouldn't have been hidden in the first place.

I think they proved that is not true...all on their own.

[truebrit71]

Law Conference?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1280191997

and OP was even told within that thread it was hate site, but choose to leave that link. The OP could have found a different link, but choose not to

https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2011/01/06/buyer-beware-veterans-today-and-its-anti-israel-agenda


Veterans News Now, and Veterans New Today are the same group.

It is loaded with anti-semitic bullshit

Here is another article from that anti-semitic site that some seem so pleased to use as a link:

"Here, I focus on the control of Washington by Zionist Jews using the Obama administration as an example. Although a similar level of control by Zionist Jews can be seen in previous administrations, one could argue that their power has never been greater, as evidenced by the current administration."

"By now, you should have no doubt whatsoever that the media, Hollywood, the financial system are controlled by Zionist Jews.

http://www.veteransnewsnow.com/2011/06/07/zionist-washington-ensuring-the-end-of-america/

[nadinbrzezinski]

65. Yes...and I am concerned about this narrative as well

My goodness David Horowitz was at SDSU recently. He is also designated as a hate monger by the SPLC. But try to concentrate. We are talking of antisemitism by HRC supporters. One here linked to Stormfront, in case you did not know.

I suggest you make that an OP though.

[still_one]

76. I know you are concerned, and yes, Horowitz is a hate monger. I also did make an OP of that,

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027811767

In addition I politely emailed the OP and suggested he find another link that didn't go to that site, but it was ignored. Incidentally, there are other sources which discussed Hillary's schedule, that he could have used.

but back to your original point regarding, "concentrate"

1. Is there proof that those posters are actually Clinton supporters other than they are using the Clinton logo, and saying they are Clinton supporters. It is a known fact the the GOP and trump supporters are portraying themselves as Clinton and Sanders supporter, and using it to divide.
2. The other point I have is that the OP is suggesting that this mindset is prevalent among Clinton supporters, and that is simply not true. In fact I would argue that 95%+ of the supporters of both Clinton and Sanders do not harbor any antisemitic feelings.

[nadinbrzezinski]

85. You can say the same about Sanders supporters and Bernie bros

Unless you know folks in real life. For the record I know more than a few on both sides, and a few on the HRC side I had to stop talking to, and one on the other side. But online, you really cannot be 100 percent sure. And that is the problem with all these narratives. That is the honest real truth. That said, I expected the antisemitism for the same reason I expected racialized politics in 2008.

And I have seen some pretty nasty stuff online.

And speaking of real shitty racists we just started setting gear fro the trump show on Friday. Damn, I need to go pick up a molle radio holder for the scanner. And I need to set up a first aid kit for the tact gear. We expect a party. I do not expect that with either Clinton or Sanders crowds. But trump, you betcha.

[still_one]

91. Surprisingly, I actually agree with your assessment.

[Luminous Animal]

66. And still one how about you tell me how Democratic Underground allows a verified anti-Semite to

still post here?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2031880

[still_one]

69. I agree, there is no way I would justify that, and it is a clear TOS violation. I wasn't involved

with that, and if I knew about it, I sure as hell would have contacted the Admins, though I doubt anything would have been done, since it seems they ignore anything on either side.

The point I have with your OP is two fold:

1. Do you have proof they are actually Clinton supporters, other than they are saying so, or using the Clinton logo
2. You are extrapolating that all Clinton supporters have that mind set, which is not true

[Luminous Animal]

72. It is easy to check. Each and every one has a real name and a long history of supporting Hillary.

I do not thing that they represent all Hillary supporters, BUT there are a lot of ugly Hillary supporters out there. A lot.

[still_one]

78. I am not sure if that is proof or not since there are GOP operatives out there masquerading as

Clinton or Sanders supporters whose intention is to divide, but let's assume it is correct that those tweets are Clinton supporters.

The majority of Clinton supporter are NOT antisemitic nor are the majority of Sanders supporters, and your OP implies otherwise.

You indicate there are a log of ugly Clinton supporters out there, and I would argue there are just as many ugly Sanders supporters out there also, but I would never suggest that it represents the majority of Sanders or Clinton supporters

If I was going to post something like that, I would refer to it as some Hillary supporters, as I would if I was pointing out something negative about some Sanders' supporters

73. Are you sure a bernie supporter threw a chair at the Nevada Dem Convention?

[still_one]

79. How would I know, I wasn't there, but that wasn't my point. Even if one Sanders supporter threw a

chair, or one Clinton supporter threw a punch, they wouldn't be representative of all sanders and clinton supporters

[Ed Suspicious]

82. We have Diane Feinstein publicly predicting riots at the convention largely based upon an unthrone

chair by somebody who was alleged to be a Bernie supporter. The entire last week was a rehashing of the many ways Bernie's supporters are violent thuggish bros.

Maybe you haven't heard.

[still_one]

87. Then you have a legitimate gripe. I thought it was Boxer who was in Nevada not Feinstein.

Regardless, my gripe was that I took this OP to be a generalization of all Clinton supporters, and that mindset is not valid for the majority of Clinton supporters.

[nadinbrzezinski]

90. But Feinstein has made those claims of a riot

Now twice

[riderinthestorm]

88. The jackass radicals site is full of raging anti-semitic Bernie haters

Same with the Hillary supporters site, similarly full of DUers. BMUS has a lot of vile screen shots.

[nadinbrzezinski]

89. Correct

[2banon]

63. Hell of a screenshot you captured there.

keep that puppy handy..

[BootinUp]

67. I take issue with your "Another day" spin. But there is no doubt there are nasty people everywhere

Since you are trying to spin it so hard, I seriously question your motives. I mean look at the dates on these things, you have little evidence to show that there is some kind of nasty trend all aimed at Bernie. But I am sure the Bernie faithful here appreciate your efforts.

[Number23]

96. The "day" appears to go back to February which is when most of those were posted

I know I'm supposed to be so horrified and swoon worthy over those posts, and Lord knows they are incredibly stupid and terrible, but the idea that it takes almost four months to find 7 or so bad anti-Sanders tweets is almost as hilarious as the idea that this was all just "randomly" gathered and is in no way a response to the RECENT, far more numerous in number and scale and far more disgusting behavior of Sanders supporters.

You know, the stuff the media has been all over the past few days. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that this post popped up now.

[joshcryer]

110. I don't even have to look for those tweets...

...to know they've been likely disavowed by any Clinton supporter who saw them. They are so fucking over the top it's ridiculous. It's not like WillyT's posts here that got rec'd and fawned over for months due to their subtle baiting.

[Number23]

139. Nailed it as usual, josh.

It's not like WillyT's posts here that got rec'd and fawned over for months due to their subtle baiting.

Although there was nothing "subtle" about WillyT or his appeal to certain individuals here. But it's still hilarious that the OP thinks she has to scour three-four month old Facebook posts when she could find an absolute PLETHORA of ignorant, unhinged and bigoted comments right here on DU every single freaking day of every month.

But considering that so many of these comments come from Sanders supporters, I can understand hopping right over them to pretend that the true horrors are to be found in months old Facebook posts by a handful of Clinton "supporters".

[applegrove]

75. GOP is sure going for the Jewish vote with all this rat****ing of Hillary's

campaign. Does anyone truly believe this crap? I'll tell you a story. Right wingers complained that Canadian government institutions minister was an airhead because she said she had support for her legislation in 2 million tweets. The day before, some American blog did a story on Trudeau's wife and how she was not popular with Canadians when she wanted a bigger staff to do more speaking events than normal for a pm wife. She's that popular. The article's proof was 5 negative of Sophie Gregory Trudeau tweets.

I'm really beginning to think that the right in the USA has a coordinated attack on the Trudeau's lest some of their dumb luck, at working in a parliamentary system, and getting lots of liberal things done, shows Americans what life could be like. So in some cases millions of tweets mean nothing. In other cases a few tweets, supposedly by Hillary supporters, a few tweets are golden. What do you call a group that has one set of rules for themselves and another set of rules for their enemies: Republicans. Or hypocrites. Same difference.

[Scootaloo]

104. And yet, you will argue that one mean tweet with a bernie avatar speaks for all Bernie supporters?

Look, applegrove... you've been fairly decent all through this mess, so I'm going to break level with you... you're very, very much the exception. I have no encountered maybe three Hillary supporters who I would trust to keep a plant alive, much less leave alone in a room with a child of any age. It has been a never ending stream of abuse, hate, bigotry, and now recently violence from your fellows. Early on in the campaign I was saying I don't judge candidates by their supporters - and I don't. But there's a damn good reason I was saying that and it's because very uniformly, Hillary supporters have been acting like fucking maniacs from the start.

I'm glad she's in the lead. I very honestly am because if she weren't, I have a very sincere feeling that some of her supporters, these people filled with burning rage while she's winning, would be doing to extremely untoward shit. I think this shit about them accusing Bernie supporters of violence is projection or wishful thinking on their part. You know those kind of gun owners who stomp around thinking "I wish someone would!" Yeah, like that.

Speaking of, very consistently the people who have been the biggest assholes, worst bigots, and most insufferable trolls on DU ? All seem to congregate to Clinton. Again, I don't judge candidates on their followers (Clinton's got enough going against her in my book anyway) but damn, I think that it does say SOMETHING.

So... Please do stop with the fainting couch stuff. Your fellows are not pure as the driven snow. No, there is no guarantee that these twits aren't some randos slapping up Clinton avatars to troll... But form what I've seen from "known elements" right here? Nah, no reason to suspect deceit there unless deceit is proven. These seem to be what Clinton supporters are like when you take away the threat of their posting ability getting revoked. It's what they got like on Hillary Clinton Supporters, too, before they get that place busted and Bill had to put some muzzles on people. And it's certainly evident here, since Skinner decided hides "don't count" anymore.

I'm sure you won't believe me. But just for a moment, consider a principle of "better safe than sorry."

[moriah]

81. Yet I can find nothing from today, despite your title.

http://berniebrowho.tumblr.com/post/142201990709/don-grimes-confirmed-hillary-clinton-supporter

Even the post allegedly "two hours ago" was from over a month ago.

I'm not condoning anti-semitism, but a lot of this was from as far back as February. Title is misleading unless you intend to daily post every inappropriate Bernie slurring comment no matter how old.

[Beartracks]

84. Lol @ Tweeter who asks...

... Why are Bernie supporters so hateful?

Did they honestly ask that question in THIS twitter stream???



=========

[jillan]

92. Can't tell any difference between her supporters and Trumps. Then again

they are the only 2 candidates that had supporters arrested for assault.

Mean spirited and violent.

[Matt_R]

93. When will Clinton denounce these vile people. n/t

[polly7]

94. Sick, ugly people.

It seems like there's no limit to their hatred for a movement disturbing the status quo. They're probably all doing very well themselves.

[MadBadger]

95. Well, technically they are all from February

So not another day I guess...

[anigbrowl]

129. Yeah be interesting to see what they're doing right now

I'm sure the OP will carefully research the matter to bring us current accurate information

[silvershadow]

101. Yikes. nt

[merrily]

102. You forgot ageism. After all, Hillary is a whole SIX YEARS YOUNGER than Bernie, even

though she seems much less healthy and vigorous to me than he does.

[polly7]

120. Yeah, there's a lot of that here allowed to go on.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2032760

It's more than insulting to anyone over whatever 'age' is considered acceptable - especially towards one who's given so much. I hate bigotry.

[merrily]

122. But, we're not allowed to refer to age when speaking of Hillary. Convenient, wot?

[PatrickforO]

108. Always a lot of vitriol on the internet. In a sense it is part of our civilization's

loss of civility, though most of the blame for it lies solely on the oligarchs and their propaganda machine. But maybe it is easier when online because you're basically anonymous and so can present yourself differently or say more edgy things than you could in person. I'll bet none of these people would say these things directly to Bernie.

[Betty Karlson]

111. I will never vote for the garbage that filth supports: hate platforms are sooo 20th century. eom

[MaeScott]

112. Kicked.

[SharonClark]

113. This is pathetic - you've been trolled

[sarae]

114. These are Trump trolls

Take a look at this:

http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/74655761/lets-troll-bernie-and-hillary-supporters

They're even talking about targeting DU in an effort to divide Dems.

[SharonClark]

115. Agree - thanks for posting

[disillusioned73]

118. k&r..

some around here have no problem w/ antisemitism.. just go reference the appreciation thread that was started for one recently.. you know where to look

[anigbrowl]

127. Yes, these are typical Hillary supporters...not

Sound more like Freepers messing with the gullible to me. They have little else to do until convention time.

[Faux pas]

128. ...

they are pretty despicable

[Dr. Strange]

141. Don't forget this one:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1059701

[Logical]

143. Typical

[cantbeserious]

151. Well, Well - Seems That Some HRC Supporters Are Not So Angelic Afterall

eom

[Myrina]

152. Reprehensible, but I have to wonder how many of those are plants or fake accounts?

Don't get me wrong, I've seen some pretty disgusting things from avowed HRC supporters, but some of these are so over the top I really question if they're "her" supporters or just troublemaking trolls looking to ratchet up the internal war.

[Amimnoch]

153. Disgusting posts.

Real or not, actual hillary supporters or not (responding to some of the replies more than the OP), this should not be excused.

This should not be defended.

Redirecting to things said about Hillary.. Diminishes the disgusting things said here, not the best approach at all imo.

These people, and the horrendous things they said should be condemned by all persons who would call themselves civilized.

I am a supporter of Hillary Clinton, and I denounce these persons and their vile words, and refuse to make excuses for them.
