(62,325 posts)Bernie has an ARMY of volunteer anti-smearmongers who jump into action instantly and destroy the David Brocks of this world.
And the more Hillary uses Brock to do the dirty work, the more even many of her supporters find themselves thoroughly disgusted by these old tactics.
I hope she doesn't fire Brock, he's raising more money for Bernie than we could have imagined. THIS is what this election is all about. THE MONEY that is corrupting our Government. And Brock is the POSTER CHILD for the most important issue for voters in this election. The Money flowing into Super Pacs like Hillary's Brock Super Pac, used for one purpose only, to DECEIVE the public.
Keep up the good work, Brock. You never were anything but a sleaze who jumped over to the Dems when the price was right.

(9,314 posts)Just looking at his hands and that very specific gesture we still see often to this day, it was obvious. And I said that. I could not believe when the controversy continued. I also just read Skinner's post earlier today, and saw what a controversy it had become. I looked again at the photos and noticed that the hair was straight and had a very distinctive recession already in progress on the forehead. The other young man had wavy hair on the top, with just a few small curls, which was very thick and had no noticeable recession at the front of the forehead.
But the real disappointment set in when I started thinking why are we talking about this while people are starving in this Country, people are homeless, people have no healthcare or cannot afford their medicines. I hope we learn not to allow ourselves to be distracted from the real prize -- Bernie's success in this race.
But looking at what has been reported today and suggesting that this was a coordinated effort to impugn Bernie Sanders' integrity is beyond disgusting. And I will just stop right here for now.

(5,668 posts)yeah it's in Michigan but they've been rather nice over the months including offering me some moderating time which I don't have so I turned it down (blush) maybe someday. I didn't expect this race to get so ugly negative from just one side. surprised no, but disappointed on how they used John Lewis
LovingA2andMI
(7,006 posts)And Thanks for the Shout Out to Our FB Group . The John Lewis Thingy was QUITE disappointing but at least maybe now folks can see where all that came from. A David Brock creation -- which is disgusting - always.

(9,086 posts)Very unprofessional. Total shill.
And he had all day to issue a retraction.
And his bosses at the Post allowed it to stand like that all day. Real reputation damage has been done as Capehart's lie has been spread all over the place.
Washington Post are a bunch of non-credible untrustworthy shills for the corporate establishment.

(6,409 posts)And nobody should have made anything of it in the first place. This "gotcha" business in politics is getting really stupid. We all knew Sanders was there when the photo was taken. So was Rappaport. It could have been either of them, since they looked alike in those days. It's a sad business that our candidates play gotcha -- gotcha back with each other. Well, not them so much as their campaign people and supporters.

I sent a message to snopes asking them to cover this photo controversy since they have TWO False ratings there now for Bernie photos.
1.) first is the non-bernie photo at Selma March (I have not seen any claims [edit to add "from Bernie"]that he was at the Selma March)
2.) a cropped photo from Rocky Horror Picture show in which snipes writes that it is "apparently intended as a joke"
so there are two "false" bernie photos and no "true" photos

(7,006 posts)The Least Two Actions Are A Retraction And Capehart's Firing.
Better -- All of the above and the firing of any MSNBC Host That Allowed Him (or the lie itself) To Come On Air Thursday Evening & Friday Morning/Afternoon and Stir Up This Outright Lie Without Asking For a FACT-CHECK.
That would include BOTH OF YOU -- Andrea Mitchell Greenspan and Chris Matthews!!!

(7,408 posts)some alumnus asked them to do so? Doesn't say much for the accuracy of their records. Also, how did Capehart find out the record was changed?
Was the "correction" indicated in the next edition of the Alumni rag and it caught another alum's eye who happened to be associated with the Clinton campaign?
