23. That someone sports a Bernie avatar.

"maybe cuz I have a Bernie icon the dink might think a little bit more because it doesn't come from an HRC supporter"

Which is a bit of a lie if one looks at little things like e.g. recs on this post
http://www.democraticunderground.com/110712164

"One thing people don't understand and try to use against Hillary only makes them look like fools.

People are screaming bloody murder that Hillary has set up a campaign that will raise a ton of money. I am not going to dispute that in the least (superpacs? All the better!). It's going to take a ton of money to beat the Republicans and if a candidate ain't got the money, that candidate is NOT going to the White House. Plain and simple.

I am very proud that Hillary has set up a campaign that's in it for the long haul and actually has her eye on the White House. I don't want a damn candidate that thinks he/she can do it without the money, that's just plain ignorant.

...

GO TEAM HILLARY! "

I've noticed several anomalies w.r.t. DUers who sport a Bernie avatar or logo, who trash Bernie's supporters, who praise HRC - as in this case, showing gung ho support for the essence ($$$) of HRC's campaign.

I'm not the only one who's noticed this. I wonder whether infiltration -> sabotage will increasingly be a concerted campaign tactic?
