I have never given any support to MOM, so why all the emails thanking me?

58. Well, I don't have a lot of respect ...

... for people who are attempting to equate receiving emails from HRC with some unethical or illegal behaviour on her part, DWS's part, or the DNC's part.

Bernie's campaign workers accessed data they had no right to. That fact is not in dispute. BS apologized, and fired those responsible.

But that proved unacceptable to many BSers here - so they launched one conspiracy theory after another about how it was HRC's people who "apparently" got their email addresses by accessing BS's data - all facts to the contrary. Some of them have even "suddenly remembered" that they were receiving HRC emails back in October - which they only spoke up about after learning there had also been a security glitch during that month.

If getting emails from Hillary's camp is the complete outrage some are making it out to be, one wonders why it wasn't outrageous enough to be remarked on at the time these emails starting showing up - allegedly, two months ago.

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when one candidate - probably through no fault of his own, or even to his knowledge - acknowledges wrong-doing by his staff, and the supporters of that candidate spin bullshit theories about how it was another candidate's wrong-doing - with no evidence thereof - that is really at issue.

Sorry, but I just can't ignore that kind of behaviour - so I do what I always do, I mock it and hope to prompt the dismissive laughter it truly deserves.

I realize that BS isn't doing well. His numbers have been stagnant for months, and his staunch supporters are disappointed that his oft-predicted massive swell of support never materialized, and never will.

However, that is no excuse for insinuating, implying, or stating outight that HRC is actually guilty of the behaviour that Bernie himself has acknowledged was engaged in by his own campaign staff.

I have received emails from BS, from MOM, from HRC - and I've never attached any nefarious wrong-doing to the idea that, as a Democrat, my email address is available to candidates I may not personally support.

The fact that many of the BS contingent are so desperate to malign other candidates in lieu of promoting the positives of their own candidate-of-choice speaks for itself. As so many have said over the past few months, Bernie probably deserves much better supporters than those who are allegedly on his side.
