62. I wish I knew it could have been as easy as alerting!

Jul 2015

I debated that shit with another poster for many posts on a thread about --wait for it---Elizabeth and Bernie reinstating Glass Steagall.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=461506

The poster actually claimed that it was on topic with the thread because the thread was about Bernie and the poster had seen a Latina post and just had to alert her about Bernie's allegedly dastardly vote. The poster did not cite a source for the slurs, only a source for her link to the vote, that source being Sanchez, who is seeking Boxer's seat. (If you recall, another slur about Bernie and immigration that was posted on DU came from Gutierrez, who is seeking Rahm's seat; and that, too, was thoroughly refuted on more than one thread.)

I googled and the peoplesview.net was the only source that came up for that garbage.

Once I found the source and started reading, I recognized other things that had been posted at DU that had I thought odd and/or foolish.

So, I posted in here asking about it. Turned out it's the blog of a poster who has been banned from DU at least twice and from Kos multiple times.

And that, they try to use to smear Bernie.
