Mar 2016

I remember our unity during the Kerry vs. Dean months. Those days at DU seem like a picnic compared to what we have going on now.

We'll reunite our efforts against Trump this fall and thwart off the unrelenting Freeper propaganda thereafter. Meanwhile, keep your mind sharp as always.

"Propaganda site" is the Bernie-or-Bust term for "anything not owned by Rupert Murdoch". DanTex Mar 2016 #18

No, just those owned by her super-PAC. nt revbones Mar 2016 #34

Well, no, it's actually not. But, hey, why let facts get in the way? DanTex Mar 2016 #38

Um yes it is nt revbones Mar 2016 #43

Bull puckies, but you knew that before you hit "post." merrily Mar 2016 #40

Let's not forget David Brock is a Republican. berni_mccoy Mar 2016 #19

Seriously? BernieforPres2016 Mar 2016 #25

Actually, he's a Democrat, not that facts matter much in Hillary-bashing circles. DanTex Mar 2016 #30

Well, now he is. nt. revbones Mar 2016 #33

Yes. Like Bernie. DanTex Mar 2016 #35

Seems to be whatever he gets money to be. Used to hit the Clintons from the right, now he works merrily Mar 2016 #45

You mean like Bernie "I joined the party for the cash" Sanders? DanTex Mar 2016 #48

You made up a quote and falsely attributed it to Sanders to deflect from my post about Brock. merrily Mar 2016 #60

Paraphrased, but true to meaning. You know that as well as I do. DanTex Mar 2016 #62

Um, no, I don't. That's merely something else you made up to deflect from Brock. merrily Mar 2016 #63

He gave an interview where he said just that. And actually Brock didn't change for money, DanTex Mar 2016 #64

Then you should link to his actual words with context. Brock SAID what he changed for. Why should I merrily Mar 2016 #70

I have looked his words in context. He wanted the money. DanTex Mar 2016 #71

Try for a more intelligible first sentence, please. And when was Bernie a Republican again? merrily Mar 2016 #72

"I have looked his words in context." Seems like a normal sentence to me. DanTex Mar 2016 #74

Um, no, it isn't. And it's not a link, either. merrily Mar 2016 #77

How would you fix it to make it more readable then? Is it a grammar thing? DanTex Mar 2016 #79

If I knew what the hell it was supposed to mean, I could probably fix it. As it is, I don't, or merrily Mar 2016 #80

It simply meant that, yes, I have seen the context of the remarks. It's clear what he meant. DanTex Mar 2016 #82

Media coverage of his run from shows like MTP. No wonder you didn't want to link. merrily Mar 2016 #95

He had no money, and he had to find some people who did. Cha-ching! DanTex Mar 2016 #96

Absolutely false and not supported by the story you linked. Neither MTP nor DNC is funding him. merrily Mar 2016 #98

You think that the whole Democratic infrastructure costs nothing? LOL. DanTex Mar 2016 #99

Which whole Democratic infrastructure that the DNC pays for has been supporting Bernie again? merrily Mar 2016 #100

The one that is running the primaries, the convention, the debates, etc. DanTex Mar 2016 #102

I've asked you several times to stop making up crap about me. merrily Mar 2016 #105

The excluded middle. Either you believe his numbers or you don't. DanTex Mar 2016 #107
