they seem obsessed by Bernie posts on DU. 
Sucks to be them 
Classic anti-Semitism. I think it's one thing to explore his faith and background as it pertains to issues. To say he is running to server the state of Israel, the poster is either a plant or the right wing of the Democratic Party is really embracing the "right" part.
And now that I've digested that steaming pile of an OP, I'm going back to read the comments on that thread to see how deep the histeria runs.
I know it's mine and these people were my friends before this election cycle.
I just want folks to know the real feelings behind some of our fellow DUers so they can keep it in mind when replying to threads. 
And of course it was alerted on. 
a call out fest I'm good with it. 
Nothing wrong with being informed, it leads to clearer interactions when one knows where the other persons head is. 
good post.
the nation talking about income inequality,that is for damn sure.
To OWS--
Every one of us are Sanders supporters, so don't use such a broad brush.
They are calling those who have pointed this out here at DU stalkers now.
It is vitriol, name-calling, and serious amounts of projection.
I have never called a Clinton supporter a name. And the only 'name' I ever called Clinton was a 'narcissist' (which she is!), and I got a hide for that. 
Some there that I once respected or at least thought nothing of in particular will certainly be untrustworthy now. I will put as many of them on Ignore as possible but the Jury Blacklist is not big enough for all of them. That really needs changing!
I don't see how DU will recover from this no matter who wins the primary. 
Healthy members won't post in an environment like this if that toxicity bleeds over to DU.
Who am I kidding? It already is and has.
I almost left for good myself.
I suppose it could still happen to if things get much worse.
Hopefully airing this will help the situation.
I'm not checking out the site because I could not possibly care less. It's for Hillary supporters. If they're doing that, don't care. If they're dissing Sanders, won't make a difference. If they're dissing du, whatever. If they're dissing people they have called friend, then their true colors will shine through in other ways, or, more than likely, already have.
I'm just going to support Sanders. Nothing and no one is going to stop me.

I understand the curiosity factor. I'm sure the people there are doing just as they preach and not dissing someone that could be the democratic nominee. That they're not personally attacking anyone. That they're sticking to facts. They're not telling anyone what they should think it who they should vote for. And above all else, they're not attacking each other in private conversations. They're practicing what they preach.
So, that is the absolute last thing I'm saying about it and I'm not going to a site made for Hillary supporters.
On Edit: I said more. Didn't realize this would go on this long. But, I shouldn't have. Except to reply to a direct response to me, on this thread, I'm done with this. The people on MIRT that have openly dissed this site, about 90% of its members and have proven they're trying to force hides here, don't have the integrity to step down and should be removed. Other than that, I truly don't care what they're doing or who they are.
We are winning. Everywhere Senator Sanders goes, people fall in love with him. People are sick to death of it all being about, and always about, the money. They're sick to death of the marginalization of everyone that isn't a rich, straight, white, male. Bernie Sanders is the ONLY candidate that has always been on the right side of history. The ONLY candidate that has the integrity to do as he says and is not endorsing super pacs or taking Wall Street money. Money from corporations that are literally killing people.
So, let's move on and get Senator Bernie Sanders elected.

I had to take a shower. For me, obsessing about something like that is just not pleasant or healthy. I'd rather do something I enjoy, like giving hugs to my fellow Bernie Supporters.
And I meant no disrespect. I'm sorry if that came off as harsh.
In fact, I just told someone we're not locking this because of the very reasons you just stated. People are hurt, bewildered, disheartened. And the people feeling these things need a place to vent, to feel comradery, etc.
I agree too, that this is a whole new level of, well, I won't say it.
Same here!
The things you learn about people.
a Republican, if it sounds like a Republican, then it's a Republican in Dem clothes, LOL.
Just to be clear I'm referring to the people that made the awful comments about Bernie supporters.
Edit to add: Well that was also quite interesting reading! I never realized I was racist until a White "uppity" person told me I was for not supporting the current prison system like our next president Hillary Clinton.
.... but that chat thread is just downright ugly.
The folks I am meeting at the Bernie events are people getting involved and invested in a candidate for the first time. The real face to face interactions I have out and about -- there is a genuine respect for him.
Not going to let the catty name calling on another site bother me. Go ahead and call me a Bernista. I'll own and wear the label proudly as I roll up my sleeves and wear my comfortable walking shoes working for a candidate outside of the sleezy Third Way corporate stranglehold. He's been right about so many huge issues and taken principled stands on issues while others wet their fingertips to see which direction the wind blows.
Bernista?
Certainly not witty, like calling her supporters Hillarious!
I truly find this, very typical, disrespect to be both a joke and very telling. The fact that they were so convinced that Sanders was a non issue to begin with and now, won't be an issue for much longer, just shows how wrong and threatened they feel.
We're part of a revolution. We're taking back our party and our country. We're part of the, to quote Manny Goldstein, "the GET-OFF-YOUR-ASS-AND-SO-SOMETHING club." The non-issue is them.
What a load of hate you have. Is this how you will treat and talk about those who "reach out"? Do you think this person is glad s/he did?

imagine having to deal with such a miserable person in reality 
Damage is done and they no one else to blame but their own vile , hate filled perspective .
I'll be getting back out on the streets now talking about Bernie. This 90's style Rush bombast just motivates me further to be polite and issue oriented when challenged out there - though in the real world I have yet to run across any real nastiness from real people.
#feelthebern
Someone has a sadz.
These old conservatives pretending to be democrats are running out of time. Literally.

for a whopping total of $100.
I don't even know what to say. Just feel very betrayed by a few.
Makes you wonder whose side they are really on
on occasionally, and I'm sure others do too. But it's the level of hate I found on that other site troubling. It's not like they are just supporting another primary candidate - which is fine - the site is obviously full of people making pretty snide comments about folks here etc. So it just makes you wonder why they care to be on MIRT here if we are all so horrible.
Eye-opening for sure
Reading that site has shown me otherwise.
yeah. I was one of *those*. 
Took the "cool guy" bait. Hook, line & sinker.
I grew up in a bi-racial Eisenhower Republican family that saw through Reagan instantly. They pushed us kids to be politically active and educated.
It wasn't hard then to see through Clinton once you looked beneath the 'cool'. I also got to see the Clinton's first hand in Arkansas. I was not surprised when the scandals appeared in the White House.
But the important thing is that you know now what is going on. We are all young and dumb once. I might have seen through Clinton but my first wife was an alcoholic!
I knew stepdad was a Republican and Mom was a Democrat but thats about as far as it went. Now when I think about it I wonder how they didnt kill each other. 
Apparently they were only *slightly* political. I think my mother might have even voted for Reagan. Who in their right mind goes from Carter to Reagan?!
Oh... and my first husband was an alcoholic too. Many regrettable decisions were made in the early 90's.
I have no interest in joining or reading there. Just reading through this post is really depressing.
Actually, seems they've got even less guts than the Cave (which leaves the Dumpster open for all to see) if they decided to lock theirs down. Now that's what I call folks who are confident in their candidate.
They should be ashamed of themselves. But *we’re* the assholes.
OMG. That was enlightening. And shocking. Maybe not shocking. I'm just stunned. I never leave here except for Facebook.
What an eye opener.
?1And that OP lol. I'd forgotten all about that inconsequential person. Thanks for the short laugh but I really can't click through that. It's too vile and my they've been on my ignore list here for years. I'm just glad they dropped their masks enough for everyone to see.
All people like that do is make me work harder to make sure the next President isn't someone who attracts that kind of craziness.
Bernie 2016. Period.

I just visited FR.
ugh
All those !@#$!ers were already on my extensive ignore list. I should donate for the strain on DU's SQL cluster!
Can’t believe this is what passes for intellectual discourse...
