Then kudos to him. The rally would have been a better venue to address it, but he hasn't asked me to run his campaign.

Many Black people are aware of the words Schwartza and/or Shvatsa, and they are aware of what race of people are most likely to use these words.


Bernie is not a racist, he doesn't use racist language.

The question is why are you? What they hell is wrong with some Hillary supporters?

Is there nothing you won't say or do to smear Bernie?

Jesus Fucking Christ.

Now I've seen everything.

And in the coming weeks, it's going to be even more obvious as Sanders draws minorities to his ranks even faster, having gotten bashed and now playing his strength.

This did NOT go well for the Clinton camp.

Coincidentally, earlier this week was the 51st anniversary of the FBI finding the body of Michael Schwermer Along with James Chaney and Andrew Goodman in the "Mississippi Burning" case. Another Jewish Liberal White Supremacist?
