(14,646 posts)you dislike Bernie. That's fine. Yes, investigate all you want. However, it does sound as if the Bernie campaign nipped this in the bud when it began happening.
My point is that when something like this comes up, we must always refrain from rushes to judgement and be especially watchful of accusations that may come from right-wing or hostile foreign sources.
You know, George, that we as a party have in the past been quite vulnerable to such baseless accusations - How many times have we all see us file neatly into a circle and form a circular firing squad while the right-wingers scream laughter and cackle with glee.
Anyway, Bernie's had his run. I genuinely doubt he'll survive the early primaries.
In the meantime, our job is to be as unified as we can around the really good platform we have and make sure we get a LOT sharper at recognizing political hatchet jobs. You don't like Bernie, but you know, if he did in fact take care of this way back when, then this is potentially a hatchet job and he's square with the house.
