It seems to some here homophobia is a nice thing to be posted and cheered on Autumn Aug 2015 #103

It is sad Bjorn Against Aug 2015 #105

Of course it is, it was directed at a Bernie supporter and we deserve it. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #120

Yep. Wilms Aug 2015 #4

When I first signed up for twitter, years ago now, Cory Booker followed me sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #9

Wow. I've always liked the guy, but w/this, my respect for him has soared. senz Aug 2015 #75

oooh Hillary's not going to like that... ibegurpard Aug 2015 #5

So now Booker is pulled out from under the bus? Sheepshank Aug 2015 #6

LOL. You beat me to it. DanTex Aug 2015 #8

Booker was never liked by many on here JI7 Aug 2015 #11

You accused 'Bernie Supporters'. I am a Bernie Supporter. I take you are retracting your sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #29

so now you like Booker, even though this wasn't an endorsement? Sheepshank Aug 2015 #43

I'm attaching this comment to post #43 though I see the poster cannot respond in this thread. sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #147

There have been Bernie Supporters ... staggerleem Aug 2015 #182

Were the Bernie supporters in 2012 angry at Booker for endorsing Hillary in 2016? sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #206

No, we are not prescient, and did not know (or care) who Booker would support, wiseguy (gal?) /nt staggerleem Aug 2015 #209

I noticed a pattern here. Everything, always is about the Bernie supporter, very rarely about Ed Suspicious Aug 2015 #67

That goes both ways treestar Aug 2015 #211

I don't even care about Hillary supporters until I'm attacked by one. Ed Suspicious Aug 2015 #213

I assume you've read SonderWoman's post below with your link to ban Booker? Sheepshank Aug 2015 #68

That post had NOTHING TO DO WITH the claim you made. So let me help those who are reading sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #125

It wasn't an accusation of ALL Bernie Supporters, was it? And what was said wasn't... George II Aug 2015 #110

Post 10, paragraph 3. giftedgirl77 Aug 2015 #88

Ouch! sheshe2 Aug 2015 #109

I posted the paragraph right below, I'm on my phone & giftedgirl77 Aug 2015 #113

Try posting the video too. I guess you were a Romney supporter in 2012 then? sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #121

Mmm, you used to be an Obama supporter no? Did you listen to the video? sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #119

Always, been an Obama supporter. giftedgirl77 Aug 2015 #130

Wrong, AGAIN. So let me help you since you appear to be unaware of what the claim here was. sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #132

Sabrina, it doesn't matter when you did it but that you did it. giftedgirl77 Aug 2015 #134

Yes, it does matter, to those who care about FACTS. sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #136

So what would have happened if he had been thrown giftedgirl77 Aug 2015 #138

You're speculating about three years ago now? I supported him for the Senate. I was glad sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #139

It has to do with the fact that you said you never threw giftedgirl77 Aug 2015 #143

I don't think they understand how demeaning giftedgirl77 Aug 2015 #183

Here's your paragraph just as a heads up. giftedgirl77 Aug 2015 #89

Again Ouch!!!!! sheshe2 Aug 2015 #111

.... giftedgirl77 Aug 2015 #114

Sorry, but the 'ouch' belongs to you, who have claimed to be an Obama supporter. sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #123

I claimed to be an Obama supporter? sheshe2 Aug 2015 #135

Yes, that's what I though. I was also an Obama supporter in that thread from 3 years sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #137

Wow, do you even know what was claimed here? That thread has ZERO TO DO WITH sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #128

Holy shit nobody's clueless Sabrina. giftedgirl77 Aug 2015 #131

Unreal. zappaman Aug 2015 #148

The third party attack, again. And again, WRONG. So let me set the record straight AGAIN. sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #159

So you didn't call for BOOKER to be thrown out of the party? zappaman Aug 2015 #163

I knew YOU would not read the FACTS stated in my comment. But I know others have. sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #165

Lol! zappaman Aug 2015 #167

So what do you think of Booker's statements about Bernie's long record on sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #192

not excited enough to make into an OP, land..expecting him under the bus you tossed him under three bettyellen Aug 2015 #193

So you're tossing him under bus because he told the truth about Bernie? sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #194

I never tossed Booker under the bus- that would be you, but then claimed to have always admired him. bettyellen Aug 2015 #195

It's another one for the ages. zappaman Aug 2015 #82

Boy, you are telling me!! Number23 Aug 2015 #85

Does this get Booker out from under the bus? After all, he's endorsed Hillary. DanTex Aug 2015 #7

some people have short memories....apparently we are not them Sheepshank Aug 2015 #10

Short memories about what? I made a request of you. All you have to do is sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #22

I wasn't talking to you, but since you asked, short term memories re: the endorsement Sheepshank Aug 2015 #49

I posted this thread. You jumped into it, didn't address the content of the OP and immediately sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #51

My first response did address the OP, you just chose not to read it Sheepshank Aug 2015 #59

People can be wrong about some issues and right about others. Alittleliberal Aug 2015 #80

I will make the same request I made of the other Hillary supporter. Link to any post of mine sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #13

please highlight where we mentioned you in any way...your team is very complicit however Sheepshank Aug 2015 #15

I am a Bernie supporter. You made a claim that Bernie supporters, the 'Bernie Brigade' I believe sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #24

haa haa what a load...who said anything about white supremacy except you? n/t Sheepshank Aug 2015 #50

Now I have to make another request. You said I have a 'team'. Prove that. I speak for me only. sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #35

This post is fascinating. treestar Aug 2015 #212

Well this was an easy one: SonderWoman Aug 2015 #23

I don't see my name there. Do you? I have been accused in this thread sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #27

Post #10. You want Booker purged. SonderWoman Aug 2015 #61

LOL, you posted that Booker should be purged from the party! Sabrina? Where'd ya go? Sa-bri-naaaaaaa bettyellen Aug 2015 #93

My response to you had nothing to do with Sabrina's posts. chknltl Aug 2015 #187

sorry if I could not take that posters predicament too seriously. no reason I should though! bettyellen Aug 2015 #188

THANK YOU!!!! Sheepshank Aug 2015 #63

Too bad about him endorsing Hillary whatchamacallit Aug 2015 #18

Actually, most Hillary supporters on DU agree with Booker on both counts. DanTex Aug 2015 #21

Your daily smears exclude you from that group n/t whatchamacallit Aug 2015 #26

Absolutely not. As I've said many times, I like Bernie, just don't think he can win the GE. DanTex Aug 2015 #30

Your posts say otherwise whatchamacallit Aug 2015 #34

No they don't. They say exactly that. And in case you're confused, consider this clarification. DanTex Aug 2015 #37

And you're here to reinforce and ensure it by posting shit about him all day whatchamacallit Aug 2015 #40

One reason why I support Bernie is because I believe that any major Democrat can win the general. totodeinhere Aug 2015 #94

I really hope you're right about the solid blue wall. DanTex Aug 2015 #104

Then you should retract your claim that all Bernie supporters threw Booker under the bus sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #38

Agreed, it wasn't every single Bernie supporter. DanTex Aug 2015 #44

I see mostly Hillary supporters and few, a couple, of Bernie supporters. Maybe people should sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #53

Be sure to read SonderWoman's post up thread. You actually did dislike Booker Sheepshank Aug 2015 #70

An honest question dsc Aug 2015 #36

Here's another question I have wanted to ask. Have any of Bernie's representives sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #47

"As for Booker,did Hillary's campaign tell him to do this, or is he simply refusing to allow lies.." Sheepshank Aug 2015 #55
