Thank you Thom Hartman for your perspective on the Marissa Johnson diatribe

111. "raising suspicions" is the effect it has

Once Thom has put that idea "on the table", then people will be suspicious about it. The only control over that is asking where the quote came from.

You say the quote is someone else (from Black Agenda Report?) "raising questions". Again, why is it okay for this guy to raise such a question, while it's conspiracy theory for other Bernie supporters to go there?

I agree the B.S. won't end. The reason it won't end is not because Bernie supporters are natural conspiracy theorists. The reason it won't end is we are in the middle of a political campaign, and people do and say a lot of stuff in the middle of political campaigns.

The Black Agenda Report article I *did* read points out BLM takes money from labor unions. Now there's definitely money in the picture. I don't think it's wise for BLM to try to paint itself as a movement conducted by angels here. That means the first time one of their members does something self-interested like take a staff or lobbyist job somewhere, a Bernie supporter will stand up, point, and roar, "SEE!"

It's safer to assume that everyone is a human being in this picture and continue to stay on our toes and actively encourage each other to act honestly.
