.............that 100's of people recced a post portraying a photo that accompanies a false narrative. The narrative being that this woman becomes a widow all at the hands of Hillary.
But, there are pictures of a poor grieving widow laying by the grave of her husband who lost his life when he was in Afghanistan. I will not post the picture. But I know I'll be asked for a link, it's what Bernie supporters do when they don't like what Hillary Supporter have to say. http://6abc.com/family/photo-showing-army-widow-lying-by-husbands-grave-goes-viral/742825/
Guess who voted in favor of sending troops there to Afghanistan where that wife lost her husband?...................ooops SANDERS

In 2001, Sanders did not support the vote in Congress to oppose the war in Afghanistan. Congresswoman Barbara Lee stood alone! This vote was followed by his support for appropriations to support both the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. In 2003 he supported the resolution that gave support to George W. Bush in both Iraq and in the larger war against terrorism, although Sanders has been a critic of the Iraq War.
I and most Hillary supporters would NEVER have thought to use such a narrative or picture against another candidate. But here, the cherry picked situation is not only posted to create a false bigger picture of the evils war, but 100's reccing that wanting so badly to believe the false narrative that it's only Hillary that bears the blame for war. The TRUTH is that Bernie is no innocent when it comes having blood on his hands.
100's of rec's for that narrative portraying Hillary as the sole person responsible for a war. Will the same be done here, acknowledging that Bernie killed the soldier in Afghanistan who's wife is laying at his gravesite?....unlikley, but the hypocrisy very very thick on that other OP as is the hypocrisy of the reccers.
