Latest Bernier lie: no, Ted Cruz donor Robert Mercer is not donating to Hillary.

[YouDig]

Apparently central command put out the directive that Berners are supposed to claim that Robert Mercer, a big Ted Cruz donor, is now donating to Hillary. But that's not actually happening. I have no idea why they decided this was going to be the lie of the day.

We'll see what they come up with tomorrow.

1. I think you covered that falsehood pretty well in the thread where one dude actually proposed it

Of course, now you have to start your own thread to try to damn all Bernie supporters... which kind of puts you in the same boat.

4. If the OP had responded to my post asking for a link, I wouldn't have had to.

I think combating misinformation is a worthy thing to do. Maybe you disagree.

[Scootaloo]

6. If I had a nickel for every time I'd gotten a non-response after calling out a lie...

I'd be rich enough to vote for Hillary clinton too

Point is, it's one guy, saying something that's not true. There are Bernie supporters there who aren't paying close attention. But that goes both ways, I've found.



Primary season makes people stupid sometimes.

3. Oh another lie spread about Hillary on DU.

What a suprise.

[SidDithers]

5. DU rec...

Not surprised so many Berners are unquestioningly believing the falsehood posted in the other thread.

Thank you for starting a new thread to set the record straight.

7. Oh for crying out loud.

More Bernie trash SPAM.... Bernie is a sick, bitter old man... Vermont has to be completely embarrassed by this campaign.

8. Is that any of your business?

What Vermont thinks of its senator? His approval ratings there are out of sight. Almost 90 percent.

12. Why yes it is my business..

My son goes to college in Montpelier. So, stick the snark back in your pie hole.

Busted.

[YouDig]

15. Wrong. Read the clarification.

[99Forever]

18. Mercer is co-CEO of Renaissance Technologies.

Precisely who the fuck do you think you are fooling?

Have another glass of Koolaid.

[YouDig]

19. James Simons is the founder of Renaissance Technologies and is a big Democratic donor.

Are you really this clueless?

[99Forever]

20. Clueless is precisely what I'm not.

I'm not the one that doesn't know a crook and how they conduct their corrupt affairs.

Got some more weak ass personal shots to try and take there, kid?

[YouDig]

21. I guess telling apart Simons and Mercer is just too complicated for Berners.

[99Forever]

22. I guess reading comprehension isn't your long suit.

So off to Ignoreville with the rest of your ilk.

Like I said, we'll see what fun new lies they come up with tomorrow.

employees of Robert Mercer's hedge fund.

$2.5 million worth of donations.
