Although this article is more about Mello, I thought this might be safer in here and I think it should be read by level headed and non-partisans for a clearer picture of what is going on with the manufactured controversy of a candidate for mayor of Omaha (of all things).. it's sad that people are falling for this smear campaign.. but here we are..

1. Deserves broader posting for the record.

3. I hope a big audience sees this but I completely understand the reticence to take it "outside"

They are coming here and reading (and alerting) but your chances of getting an actual discussion about it are better within the Sanders group.

I'm having a bit of a laugh - my Harvard research OP on how Bernie supporters are actually incredibly diverse (contrary to the propaganda of "white Bernie Bros&quot has been viewed almost 1500 times.



So yup, they're lurking here so I think your excellent OP will be seen.

Of course, the chronic shit stirrers will try to continue to blast the lies to the gullible but now you've provided us with some ammunition.

Thank you.

5. Your welcome..

the silliness is so transparent at this point.. I left for a while because of all the discord, but we can't let the mis-information stand anymore.. they have to know honest folks are still visiting this board..

4. Facts matter. Not to everyone, unfortunately.

...no one has a right to use abortion, or Heath Mello, or the working people of Omaha—black, brown, and white—who see him as their champion, as pawns in some Democratic Party power game.
...
when I ask Mello if, when he says he “will not restrict women’s reproductive care,” that includes abortions, he doesn’t equivocate: “Of course. I thought that was obvious.”
