REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Belittling and sexist to call her "dear" this is over the top, and clearly illustrates the differences between Sanders supporters who are real liberals, this one isn't fooling anyone.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Sep 27, 2015, 12:11 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Having been guilty of this type of snark myself, I can't in good conscience hide this. As a Hillary supporter, I disagree of course. If I Wanted to spend time getting screen shots at DU vs a very small HRC site, Sanders supporters would not come out looking well. Ismnotwasm
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Poster is responding to another undocumented attack on Sanders supporters. Anyone can claim to be a Sanders supporter or a Clinton supporter just to stir up hate. Under ordinary circumstances I would hide; these are not ordinary circumstances with continual vicious attacks by each camp against the other.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The petty bickering is getting very, very old, and we still have a year to go.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Perhaps the alerter is a tad too thin-skinned for the political arena. A self-assessment my just be what the Doctor ordered.

To my Clinton supporter friends [View all] Bonobo Sep 2015 OP

Just compare these 2 sites to see who has the problematic supporters jfern Sep 2015 #1

Yeah, if we are SO bad, why don't WE have a site dedicated to bad-mouthing people. Bonobo Sep 2015 #2

They think it is OK because it is the only thing they can do. Their candidate is like PatrickforO Sep 2015 #19

Wow. Dems making fun of someone's AGE? Beartracks Sep 2015 #26

No, it's a specific hit-thread on two DUers -- BMUS & AgingAmerican Waiting For Everyman Sep 2015 #38

I think that I'm going to be sick. Trashing BMUS and distorting who she really is... NealK Sep 2015 #42

It's sick alright. Now there's a hit-thread on SMC22307 as well Waiting For Everyman Sep 2015 #49

But since the truth of the letter is inherently impossible to know with 100% certainty Bonobo Sep 2015 #57

If she didn't want it talked about Waiting For Everyman Sep 2015 #62

You think it is most likely awoke_in_2003 Sep 2015 #131

Accusing Bravenak of sending that to herself awoke_in_2003 Sep 2015 #130

"pantsuits and cankles" TexasBushwhacker Sep 2015 #129

You do have a site dedicated to badmouthing... GitRDun Sep 2015 #153

My read on that first site is that it's not about Clinton at all. MindfulOne Sep 2015 #3

It reminds me of the 2004 election jfern Sep 2015 #4

The Dumpster! Or whatever the 'cave' calls their DU obsessed/bashing remote corner of the internet. sabrina 1 Sep 2015 #7

If you put that side by side with the Cave's 'Dumpster', you couldn't tell them apart. polly7 Sep 2015 #10

Nice strawman. Point out where I said such a vile thing. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #103

so they are as bad as Stormfront dsc Sep 2015 #114

Their users didn't murder over 100 people but the hatred is equally vile. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #116

They don't actually care about BLM jfern Sep 2015 #31

That doesn't even rise to the level of high school. hifiguy Sep 2015 #151

Maybe they don't remember why they are supporting her? artislife Sep 2015 #12

LOL MoveIt Sep 2015 #88

Lol, well, I would say the appropriate response to that is 'no contest'! sabrina 1 Sep 2015 #5

Wow! Talk about hate filled. tecelote Sep 2015 #28

The only reason they hate Bernie is simple hifiguy Sep 2015 #152

I think basing support on the actions of supporters is idiotic. cherokeeprogressive Sep 2015 #6

It's a 'talking point' most likely paid for with some of the Dark Money. They can't attack Bernie on sabrina 1 Sep 2015 #11

I'd bet fifty bucks that dark money is behind it. hifiguy Sep 2015 #156

Imo, there is no doubt about it! Talking points become easy to recognize after a while. sabrina 1 Sep 2015 #158

It's a ridiculous lie you're making. Bonobo Sep 2015 #34

I love the fact that you have gone this far in reverse... NCTraveler Sep 2015 #43

Your bizarre claim is complete fantasy. Bonobo Sep 2015 #44

You self deleted it. NCTraveler Sep 2015 #45

Actually, the more you post this bizarre shit, the better. Bonobo Sep 2015 #46

Here's the video: NealK Sep 2015 #47

Shit, they edited out the part where she picked up a lead pipe and attacked him! Bonobo Sep 2015 #48

Thank you for pointing out their dishonesty. NCTraveler Sep 2015 #59

This is the perfect opportunity for me to wax eloquently on one of my favorite topics. DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2015 #50

Yeah, man, that was like a really righteous lesson, man. Bonobo Sep 2015 #52

Thank you. Your response prompted me to amend my post. DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2015 #55

You should have left it as it was. Bonobo Sep 2015 #58

Sir, you surrendered all credibility from the jump DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2015 #61

Superficial attempts at appearing classy are oft betrayed in subtler ways. Bonobo Sep 2015 #63

Not as crazy as thinking that a socialist would beat the GOP. DanTex Sep 2015 #60

You must think Hillary would draw more of the Republican and Indie vote then. Bonobo Sep 2015 #73

Eh, that's just an excuse. in_cog_ni_to Sep 2015 #71

No it isn't at least in terms of the issues the supporters care about dsc Sep 2015 #76

Nonsense, if you are so unable to judge a person's nature that you must infer Bonobo Sep 2015 #77

His record in Congress also backs that view up dsc Sep 2015 #80

We were discussing whether making the decision based on clumsy inferences of supporters was wise. Bonobo Sep 2015 #83

where did I say counting the number of black people at a rally dsc Sep 2015 #90

Again, though, you make a good argument, the massive flaw is in your monolithic thinking. Bonobo Sep 2015 #93
