(14,733 posts)Even if it actually WAS Rappaport, there is absolutely no reason to even bring it up except as part of the overall campaign to try and discredit Sanders' Civil Rights cred. Should it matter if in any given picture, Bernie was the one speaking or one listening at a given moment in time? No. But we've seen a concerted effort over the last few days to throw shade at Sanders, to make people think he's lying about his past work in civil rights, as part of the overall Clinton effort to keep a wedge in place between Sanders and African Americans and maintain her 'firewall'. So yeah, the 'Rappaport' thing, as stupid as it is, is still part of a concerted smear campaign.
So are you comfortable with people using YOUR site to foster such a smear campaign?
