thought it would be better as a stand alone post ...

At some point ... the campaign HAS TO recognize/accept that it has a measure of responsibility for his supporters ... if for no other reason, for damage control.

The campaign, clearly, monitors this site ... if the campaign has half the integrity that I give Sanders credit for having ... here is my recommendation:

1) Establish a DU account for the purpose of PM'ing the more "enthusiastic" of DU:Bernie, identifying themselves as being a part of the Bernie campaign and asking them to tone it down, as it is hurting the campaign; and,

2) WHEN that fails to have any effect ... Post a message to the AA Group, identifying themselves as being a part of the Bernie campaign, and stating specifically that they do not support what they are seeing of some of its more "enthusiastic" supporters ... and for good measure, link to the threads to make the point clear.

Okay ...

I posted that just to see DU:Bernie's response to it, if the campaign did it ... If DU:Bernie would tell Skinner to fuck off, and they KNOW him and KNOW that it is HIS site ... the responses would be highly entertaining!
