137. Sanders supporters here dont just engage in character assassination against Hillary. They do it

Wed Jan 20, 2016, 09:58 PM

Jan 2016

against anyone who supports Hillary or who criticizes Bernie or even protests Bernie, like BLM:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251504529 - "
Is the Hillary campaign using BLM to take down Bernie?"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027060303 - "
"I had a Sarah Palin button on backpack" Who is BLMS's Marissa "Johnson" Jenae?"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251502198 - "BlackLivesMatter was given million$ by Soros after Ferguson. soros=Hillary Benefactor.

Begs the question: are BLM only targetting Bernie to swiftboat him for hillary?"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251505858 - "
Holy, are there people here seriously defending BLM Seattle's actions!?? What's wrong with you?"

and note many very virulently anti-BLM comments by Sanders supporters under those OPs.
