(58,785 posts)bringing right-wing smears on Bernie to DU and also for their constant pokes at our black community is very CALLED FOR, very WARRANTED, for very GOOD REASON. At a time when Bernie is trying to woo minorities, a clique here is doing battle with DU's own.
What's the fun of being a political warrior if there's no one to engage in hostilities? If no enemies, some apparently must be created? Is that it?
Although, speaking of gratuitous, uncalled-for behavior, one might have thought all the non-minority Hillary supporters, to name just one group, would satisfy that need.
So, why the continued insistence by supposed Bernie supporters on sabotaging here at DU Bernie's efforts to build bridges? It seems to me the very definition of uncalled-for, or as you prefer, gratuitous behavior. To put it mildly.
BTW, hard-right attackers like WillyT's author always turn out to be flaming racists. Their bigotry is never limited to just liberals or Democrats. One famous psychologist calls right-wing bigots equal-opportunity racists because, no matter what they claim, they are hostile toward every group that isn't their own.
But then, we all knew that already, right?
