Zorra
Zorra's JournalIt would be real if it was written after Bernie was offically campaigning for three months
and had not addressed the issues in question whatsoever.
But trying to imply racism because he did not address race issues within a few hours after his campaign began is so fucking cheap and duplicitous it makes me want to vomit. Bernie has long been a strong advocate for minority rights and equality and is well aware of the problems minorities face in the US and he will address them in time and all y'all god damn well know this, and the meme y'all are pushing is fucking pathetic propaganda in the style of Rush Limbaugh.
I can't help but believe that this trash isn't some type of cheesy preemptive strawman swiftboat attack against Bernie designed to counteract the inevitable questions that are going to arise out of these questionable issues, posted below, events that actually occurred and exist in real life, in real time. If all y'all were being honest, you'd be all over Hillary's shit about this instead of blowing smoke about nothing.
Keith Olbermann's Special Comments on Hillary Clinton and race.
"WE HAVE FORGIVEN YOU ...." Keith Olbermann on Hillary's "assassination" remarks.
God knows, Senator, in this campaign, this nation has had to forgive you, early and often...
And despite your now traditional position of the offended victim, the nation has forgiven you.

We have forgiven you your insistence that there have been widespread calls for you to end your campaign, when such calls had been few.
We have forgiven you your misspeaking about Martin Luther King's relative importance to the Civil Rights movement.
We have forgiven you your misspeaking about your under-fire landing in Bosnia.
We have forgiven you insisting Michigan's vote wouldn't count and then claiming those who would not count it were Un-Democratic.
We have forgiven you pledging to not campaign in Florida and thus disenfranchise voters there, and then claim those who stuck to those rules were as wrong as those who defended slavery or denied women the vote.
We have forgiven you the photos of Osama Bin Laden in an anti-Obama ad...
We have forgiven you fawning over the fairness of Fox News while they were still calling you a murderer.
We have forgiven you accepting Richard Mellon Scaife's endorsement and then laughing as you described his "deathbed conversion."
We have forgiven you quoting the electoral predictions of Boss Karl Rove.
We have forgiven you the 3 A-M Phone Call commercial.
We have forgiven you President Clinton's disparaging comparison of the Obama candidacy to Jesse Jackson's.
We have forgiven you Geraldine Ferraro's national radio interview suggesting Obama would not still be in the race had he been a white man.
We have forgiven you the dozen changing metrics and the endless self-contradictions of your insistence that your nomination is mathematically probable rather than a statistical impossibility.
We have forgiven you your declaration of some primary states as counting and some as not.
We have forgiven you exploiting Jeremiah Wright in front of the editorial board of the lunatic-fringe Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
We have forgiven you exploiting William Ayers in front of the debate on ABC.
We have forgiven you for boasting of your "support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans"...
We have even forgiven you repeatedly praising Senator McCain at Senator Obama's expense, and your own expense, and the Democratic ticket's expense.
But Senator, we cannot forgive you this: "You know, my husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California."

Yes. It's silly, transparent, completely unsupportable, and painfully embarrassing.
One thing I love about supporting Bernie, my game is always complete, and real, because it can be.
Bernie Sanders on Civil Rights
Does supporting ^^this^^ agenda somehow make me a misogynistic white trash racist homophobe, despite the fact that I am a mixed race LGBT feminist woman?
War is not fucking peace, and those who spout word salad sandwiches trying to prove War is Peace™ need get over it, and light out and look around and see if they can find a life at the end of the tunnel.
