Attacking George Soros and Hillary, just damn!

I'm sure all democratic PoC will be insensed to know that middle class white democrats think that BLM is just a front to get Hillary the nomination and the fact that their sons and daughters are being murdered by fascist military police forces all over America on a daily basis means NOTHING to Bernie backers!

No democrat has a chance of winning the white house without having the Obama coalition behind them 100 percent.

Belittling the fears and concerns of a huge part of that coalition will get a person a sure loss on election day and deliver this country into the hands of the Koch bros and their republican puppets.

These attacks on fellow democratic voters need to stop!

Claim: George Soros donated $33 million to fund rioting Ferguson protest groups.

Read more at http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/sorosferguson.asp#hdXFk9vVvKxr4puj.99

TRUE: A grantmaking network founded by George Soros provided funding to some groups that engaged in Ferguson-related protest activities.

FALSE: George Soros gave money to various groups for the express purpose of promoting Ferguson-related protests and riots.

and how quickly the RACISM burbles out of these people's mouths/fingers the second ANY FUCKING THING to do with #BLM is involved.

This same crowd that howled at the moon and brought themselves to all kinds of special feelings over OWS have accused #BLM of every damn thing under the sun. Of being "Koch funded right wingers," of being "dolts" of being "corrupt," "stupid," "not speaking for their community" and every other racially charged thing they can think of.

So it's okay for white guys to sit in a park, shut down Wall Street, bang drums and accomplish nothing but God help these unruly Negroes who dare to talk over their man! About people being LITERALLY murdered.

If all they did was blame Hillary, I probably wouldn't care that much. She is a politician and can take it. But what gets me is the RACISM that spews out of these people every chance they get. To call them disgusting is an understatement of epic proportions.

34. The argument

The argument that African Americans and other minorities are tools of wealthy Jews is a classic anti semitic trope. On far right wing sites the election of Barack Obama was met with a yawn as he was portrayed as the puppet of wealthy Jews and his many Jewish supporters, some in high places, were held out as proof.

We always have to be vigilant against racism, anti-semitism, and nativism because at the end of the day they are cousins in hate.

You might want to rephrase it lest you get a hide but that was the viewpoint that George Lincoln Rockwell, American Nazi Party founder, espoused in his famous Playboy interview with Alex Haley.

It's a fascinating interview:

There is nothing "creative" about this kind of speculation. It's based on old-school RW tactics that have been in play for decades.

The irony here is that BS supporters are stating, without a scintilla of factual support, that HRC is behind the BLM protesters - but Bernie is the one being "swift-boated".

Looks to me like Hillary is the one being swift-boated by the BS crew, being accused of things she has absolutely nothing to do with on a regular basis.

For people who allegedly believe that Bernie will be the next president, they sure come up with a lot of excuses for why he isn't getting any traction with the vast majority of Democrats. And it's always everyone else's fault - not his.

37. the natural factionalism in any movement can easily explain what's going on without any

money having to change hands

but what's common is a rhetoric you can hear on DU and Twitter and Tumblr--that who/what you are isn't just important, but the primary determinant of your politics, economics, etc.; race and gender aren't constantly-negotiated dimensions to life but a permanent label--or brand, perhaps

therefore Clinton can be "the minority candidate" because she's female while setting up regimes and starting wars that kill plenty of women and POC and gays, and how she can specifically be "the Black candidate" despite the welfare reform and parties with redliners and war and neoliberalism and CCA and the "all lives matter"

that's why they can say "Sanders has a race problem" without pointing to any of his policies or his opponents' (and of course if you demur that's just magically proving their point you lefty white supremacist!)

now there's definitely a "Portlandia" effect with some liberals, damning the South for segregationism but carefully avoiding anyone who fails the paper-bag test: but these are "champagne Dems" rather than the social democrats since socdems always read--in fact the Portlandia types are likeliest to blindly vote Clinton because she's a Dem and the Dems are the party that's supposed to not be the party of war and gay-bashing; it's in fact Soros himself that best represents this Bono-loving bluewashed billionaire's club, trying to crush Venezuela in the name of human rights and open societies, and his typically-clean foundations are paid with a billion he made from crashing the ruble and another bil from tanking the pound

40. Can you supply a link where it shows Soros gave a million dollars to BLM? The only references I

see to that are from sources like the Washington Times, and other right wing sites

TRUE: A grantmaking network founded by George Soros provided funding to some groups that engaged in Ferguson-related protest activities.

50. That what I am seeing, but it is not saying BLM. However, this "guilt by association" does

very little, unless of course there is an actual proof that Hillary is involved

This is similar to those making false extrapolations on Bernie with his upcoming speech at Liberty College, or guns etc. there is nothing there

I understand this is tit for tat, but I think it is far better for all side to debate the issues, unless as I said there is actual evidence of dirty tricks.

Another point, by BLM coming out to apologize sure implies that BLM thinks it should not have been done in a rally for Medicare no Social Security

54. The tone deafness of Bernie's supporters is what is

going to kill his campaign. I wouldn't be at all surprised if BLM targets Sanders campaign events just because if exposes some pretty ugly shit.

tactics. It's not complicated.

61. However they made their decision, it is clear that they want to embarrass Bernie.

Meanwhile they have squandered a lot of good will for the cause.

88. Proof?

I support Bernies policies, and I do not support Hillary. But I have a hard time believing that BLM is organized enough to be fully co-opted in this way. Parts of it, sure. But the whole thing, no.
