On Tue Mar 15, 2016, 01:38 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

KKK Leader endorses Hillary because he thinks she's a secret conservative
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511495761

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

It Is Against The Statement Of Purpose & Is Wrong On So Many Levels In Any Way, Shape, Or Form To Link A Candidate For The Democratic Nomination To Such A Gruesome Disgusting Group.

Your Statement Is A Complete Lie The KKK Has Endorsed Donald Trump...

Please Vote To Lock This Post, Whether You Are Voting For Sanders Or Against Clinton We Are All Democrats & We Should Not Be Allowing Such A Disparaging Lie To Circulate On This Forum, The High Road May Be Harder But It Leads To A Better Place.

Fear mongering & Blatant Lies Is A Republican Tactic. If This Post Stays It Will Now Be A DU Tactic.

BTW I Don't Think The KKK Would Endorse A Female Democratic Candidate That Has Won The South By 40 Points Largely Due To African American & Minority Voters....

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Mar 15, 2016, 01:44 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: On the basis of seeing this story on the MSM, I believe it is true the person changed from Trump to HRC endorsement. As actual news it's not false or over the top, but we can all condemn the swift boating aspect of such a cynical ploy by the KKK leader
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: WTF?
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: The OP's narrative is so over the top, even for this place. FFS!
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter, you argue that "your statement is a complete lie". That is incorrect. The article states that a KKK leader did indeed endorse Hillary. Huff is a reputable source. If you meant to write that the KKK creep's assertion that Hillary is a secret conservative, perhaps you should have stated your position more clearly. Even if you had, I see no reason to hide this post. The OP is not claiming that Hillary is a secret conservative.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The fact that the alert is so long-winded is irrelevant to the simple fact that it is nonsense-- don't like the post, argue it out ion the thread.
(And why are all my juries from GD-P?)
