REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

"I'm thinking that it is in Bernie's DNA."

Anti-semitic dog whistle. Insinuating that Bernie doesn't care about blacks because he is Jewish. This isn't the first time this canard has been used against Bernie around here.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Wed Nov 4, 2015, 06:35 AM, and voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: We have to have a system that deters this. This is plain and simple a way of shutting down speech. I ask all Jurors to never hide posts until this is resolved.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: DNA...ffs.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Yea, that's anti-semitic. Hide.

Anti-Semitic???? Yes ... fucking unhinged. Deeply. A

Are they really that fucked up that a commonly turned phrase, meaning deeply ingrained (referencing his propensity to forget to mention economics over other issues) is now somehow anti-Semitic?
