You're completely changing the subject....and I am noticing it and pointing it out. MADem Jun 2015 #216

I have stuck to the same subject nadinbrzezinski Jun 2015 #220

You haven't proved the charge you made, and you're tossing out unrelated links and associations, MADem Jun 2015 #225

And with that keep pretending it does not exist among democrats nadinbrzezinski Jun 2015 #212

That's not what you said, though. You accused DUers of being anti-semitic, and I noticed. MADem Jun 2015 #219

Nadin, I have no clue what you are talking about, but reading through this subthread to the end... Hekate Jun 2015 #194
