Highlight:

Is Bernie really advertising on Breitbart? [View all] Tavarious Jackson Aug 2017 OP

I don't know, does GaryCnf Aug 2017 #1

It's possible his advertising is done by an adhosting service. forgotmylogin Aug 2017 #2

Most likely a third-party service... regnaD kciN Aug 2017 #3

Sure, but that's something his staff should look into right? Ninsianna Aug 2017 #6

If his name is mentioned in a story there, his add will appear Warpy Aug 2017 #28

It depends on other factors though. Ninsianna Aug 2017 #61

the problem is that the ad pops up because of who YOU are..... virtualobserver Aug 2017 #4

I think advertisers can request that their ads do not appear on certain sites. Ninsianna Aug 2017 #8

they are there to respond to their constituents virtualobserver Aug 2017 #11

The reality is that they were rude, and they have no cause to be. Ninsianna Aug 2017 #15

based on the post, they did know virtualobserver Aug 2017 #17

Eh, doesn't excuse the rudeness. Ninsianna Aug 2017 #22

the rudeness appears to be that they didn't answer the caller's question.... virtualobserver Aug 2017 #37

There seems to be a need to excuse unprofessional behavior. Ninsianna Aug 2017 #51

Neither one of us were on the call. virtualobserver Aug 2017 #65

There is a mention of rudeness from the person who was on that call. Ninsianna Aug 2017 #68

rudeness is an interpretation virtualobserver Aug 2017 #71

Indeed from the person who was there and experienced it. Ninsianna Aug 2017 #87

rude is in the ear (in this case) of the beholder virtualobserver Aug 2017 #89

His Followrs Aren't All From Vermont Me. Aug 2017 #72

It's weird why this is an issue. But all the "thank yous" are even more odd. Ninsianna Aug 2017 #88

THat's My Guess Me. Aug 2017 #95

My thoughts after being in retail for years. sheshe2 Aug 2017 #77

Thank you. whathehell Aug 2017 #53

But Bernie is always introduced by Thom Hartmann as "America's Senator." SunSeeker Aug 2017 #91

Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, he only has "Vermont's Staff" virtualobserver Aug 2017 #94

I have no problems having progressive views land on a RW website. Hopefully, it might sway a mind. TheBlackAdder Aug 2017 #63

If he is targeting Trump voters it seems logical to advertise delisen Aug 2017 #5

What is he targeting them for? ucrdem Aug 2017 #52

I assume he wants them to be part of his "revolution" delisen Aug 2017 #75

Thanks. The problem here is that he appears to be stoking discontent with the ACA. ucrdem Aug 2017 #80

Google ads are selected by algorithm. If a word or topic is used often on a tblue37 Aug 2017 #7

Okay, let's go through this again gratuitous Aug 2017 #9

So when someone calls the Senators office to bring it to their attention Ninsianna Aug 2017 #16

It depends on the caller gratuitous Aug 2017 #19

Nope, depends on the professionalism of the perosn answering phones. Ninsianna Aug 2017 #23

I wasn't the only one making assumptions gratuitous Aug 2017 #27

You kind of were, since the OP doesn't say that. Ninsianna Aug 2017 #42

Why would they care one way or the other? nt Dreamer Tatum Aug 2017 #20

Why would a senate staffer care if they're advertising on hate sites? Ninsianna Aug 2017 #25

Yes. Why? Dreamer Tatum Aug 2017 #35

Well, generally people don't wish to be supporting financially sites that promote hate Ninsianna Aug 2017 #43

Is this going to be on the midterm? :) grantcart Aug 2017 #34

LOL FSogol Aug 2017 #36

An advertiser (Sanders in this case) can stipulate which categories of websites and actually exclude George II Aug 2017 #39

The knee jerk offensive tactics are amusing. Ninsianna Aug 2017 #44

lol, great description. R B Garr Aug 2017 #83

Isn't that John Conyers' bill anyway? Democrat from Michigan. nt R B Garr Aug 2017 #10

This isn't about a bill, it's about campagin fundraising. Ninsianna Aug 2017 #26

The ad was about co-signing as a citizen sponsor on to what R B Garr Aug 2017 #38

Yes, it uses that terminology, but Conyers bill was a House one, Ninsianna Aug 2017 #46

Bernie's bill is much better. Hassin Bin Sober Aug 2017 #70

What bill? Conyers' has been introducing Medicare for all R B Garr Aug 2017 #81

Yes, by all means. If its John Conyer's bill, are you in favor of it? nt JCanete Aug 2017 #33

Sanders is asking for co-sponsors for a bill that he has yet to unveil. lapucelle Aug 2017 #40

Yes! Thank you, this is the John Conyers bill -- Democrat from Michigan R B Garr Aug 2017 #41

But citizens have no standing for bill sponsorship, that requires Senators and Reps. Ninsianna Aug 2017 #47

It's a bit of a gimmick. lapucelle Aug 2017 #55

Seems like it's a fund raising tactic and data collection nothing more. Ninsianna Aug 2017 #60

Did Jesus preach to the sinners and prostitutes? Binkie The Clown Aug 2017 #12

I have some issues with Sanders. Weekend Warrior Aug 2017 #50

Considering this weekend's events, extremist websites are all over the news, so it's R B Garr Aug 2017 #84

Google ads are not current news. Weekend Warrior Aug 2017 #93

Malicious and extreme websites are definitely all R B Garr Aug 2017 #96

Elizabeth Clarke needs to learn the meaning of collaboration. Weekend Warrior Aug 2017 #45

This does not seem likely to increase support for the ACA. ucrdem Aug 2017 #49

We do not know if they were rude left-of-center2012 Aug 2017 #54

No we don't, since "rudeness" is subjective, to a large extent. whathehell Aug 2017 #59

Amen to that left-of-center2012 Aug 2017 #67

Thanks. whathehell Aug 2017 #92
