97. So Sanders supporters are angels?

I was a vetted Clinton delegate to the national convention. I was a Clinton delegate and I know I was vetted. The only vetting that I saw was that the Sanders campaign removed one duly elected sanders delegate because that delegate would not say that he hated Hillary Clinton. This occurred at the Texas Democratic Convention but this delegate was allowed to attend as a guest due to the poor treatment of this young man by the Sanders campaign.

I do not think that this was isolated incident. There was a coordinated plan to attack Congressman John Lewis and the delegates who led this plan were evidently leaders in the Sanders delegation and they were proud of these attacks

For example, the idiots on JPR are very proud of this stunt https://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/hey-john-lewis-karmas-a-mf-aint-it/

I saw other incidents including having a group of Sanders delegates scream obscenities at my daughter and called her the C-Word.

This conduct is evidently acceptable for "progressives". We are seeing similar conduct in the attacks on Joy Reid and others

Honest question for her defenders: what exactly is her story? Azathoth Apr 2018 #31
Yep. Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2018 #32
I think it sounds just as fishy... NCTraveler Apr 2018 #34
I've despised Greenwald longer than most Azathoth Apr 2018 #35
Nor does it make it true. NCTraveler Apr 2018 #37
No one's claiming it's true because of who's reporting it Azathoth Apr 2018 #43
Because it's fishy. NCTraveler Apr 2018 #47
I'm right there with you... seems it's worth waiting for the facts to fully come out. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #151
The lynching of Joy Ann Reid by the Bernie left Gothmog Apr 2018 #62
OK. Back to my original question, what is Reid's exact position? Azathoth Apr 2018 #65
Joy Reid does not worship Sanders and so sanders supporters must destroy her Gothmog Apr 2018 #66
So Sanders supporters traveled back in time and made her post homophobic stuff? Azathoth Apr 2018 #67
So Sanders supporters are angels? Gothmog Apr 2018 #97
You do realize this thread is about Reid's blog posts, not Sanders supporters? Azathoth Apr 2018 #101
You are the one who thinks that sanders supporters would not engage in this conduct Gothmog Apr 2018 #103
Here are some facts for you to ignore or not be able to understand Gothmog Apr 2018 #116
So you're saying her blog wasn't hacked, it's just altered screenshots? Azathoth Apr 2018 #118
Read the material posted-the site was hacked Gothmog Apr 2018 #122
So the site was hacked in 2006, and then some else took screenshots in 2018 and altered them? Azathoth Apr 2018 #124
I trust Joan Walsh here Gothmog Apr 2018 #127
Thank you for Joan Walsh on Joy Reid, Goth.. Cha Apr 2018 #132
The posts could have been made recently...the fact there were no replies leads me to believe this is Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #136
You don't have to travel back in time if you know what you are doing you can plant all sorts of Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #137
And Sanders opponents must defend her BeyondGeography Apr 2018 #77
No, she's claiming archive.org has some archives that aren't 100% from her site and uponit7771 Apr 2018 #80
From her statement: "At no time has Ms. Reid claimed that the Wayback machine was hacked" Azathoth Apr 2018 #83
That's right, she's not claiming it but her security experts are ... its in the last paragraph uponit7771 Apr 2018 #106
So she isn't claiming something but her experts are? Azathoth Apr 2018 #109
Overt logical fallacy noted, she hasn't made a statement on a hack or not a hack so far... uponit7771 Apr 2018 #113
No...it was probably hacked more recently and planted in the archives...it is quite doable. Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #135

See; MFM008 Apr 2018 #44
The Russians are amping up their attacks. democratisphere Apr 2018 #50
The Russians hacked Reid back in 2007? Azathoth Apr 2018 #51
I suggest you READ all of the fine print in the OP and get back to me! democratisphere Apr 2018 #52
lol, I already did. Did you? Azathoth Apr 2018 #54
They have a secret ally! QC Apr 2018 #57
Where does it say that the Reid Report was hacked in 2007? mia Apr 2018 #58
The Wayback Machine archived her site from back around 2006 Azathoth Apr 2018 #59
No, archive.org uponit7771 Apr 2018 #82
From the statement: "At no time has Ms. Reid claimed that the Wayback machine was hacked" Azathoth Apr 2018 #85
Correct, it was archive.org that was "breached" and they're saying the post on archive.org are uponit7771 Apr 2018 #86
lol, archive.org IS the Wayback Machine Azathoth Apr 2018 #87
Then my statement holds true still, Reid wasn't hacked archive.org (aka TWBM) was uponit7771 Apr 2018 #90
But she is explicitly not saying that Azathoth Apr 2018 #92
Her Cyber security experts are saying they were made away that TWBM was "breached" uponit7771 Apr 2018 #94
And they are also saying the two supposed breaches are unrelated Azathoth Apr 2018 #95
Because the archived stuff can refute the hacked stuff unless both the archived and hacked stuff uponit7771 Apr 2018 #98
So you're claiming something even her security expert isn't claiming nt Azathoth Apr 2018 #102
No, just responding to your question. And her security experts have claimed a breach of uponit7771 Apr 2018 #104
And when the Way Back people said there was absolutely no evidence of a breach/hack Reids people... Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2018 #105
They aren't "now" saying her blog was hacked they said such in the first sentence. uponit7771 Apr 2018 #111
The "ghosting" has nothing to do with the Wayback Machine Azathoth Apr 2018 #112
Never said it did, you got anything else ? I'm not here to argue just to argue uponit7771 Apr 2018 #115
Here: Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2018 #121
I don't see an inconsistency here, the experts are saying fraudulent post were inserted uponit7771 Apr 2018 #125
