It sounds like a Clinton-supporter rationalization to me. Beartracks Feb 2016 #5

I certainly wouldn't call him any more racist than his primary opponent. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Feb 2016 #6

I have never seen a post here calling Bernie a racist. emulatorloo Feb 2016 #7

No...repeatedly claiming he is tonedeaf to race noiretextatique Feb 2016 #79

It's been implied maybe a thousand times. Let's not play brand new. merrily Feb 2016 #18

So nobody then? MaggieD Feb 2016 #28

Your enforced vacations from DU have not changed your posting games. Cool. merrily Feb 2016 #37

Sincere question MaggieD Feb 2016 #39

Your sincerity is touching, as always. Again, I don't enjoy your games, so I am not going to play. merrily Feb 2016 #42

Downthread, you just replied to my post showing three people think Bernie is racist. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #46

Okay, so it took the OP 6 months to create a post.... MaggieD Feb 2016 #57

Why are you making false claims? The op never said that poll was the reason for the op. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #60

Correct - I'm trying to find the reason for the OP MaggieD Feb 2016 #61

I wasn't pointing to a specific post, as noted in #36. nt MadDAsHell Feb 2016 #67

okay MaggieD Feb 2016 #71

yep, I guess I should have said "rabidly, dishonestly, disingenuously, and repeatedly implied he is" MadDAsHell Feb 2016 #36

The mincing words game is as much of a yawn as the playing brand new game. merrily Feb 2016 #45

There have been several posts openly calling him a racist as well as a poll. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #22

I heart you, BMUS! merrily Feb 2016 #69

You must have most of of GD-P + the HRC and AA groups on hide. MadDAsHell Feb 2016 #23

Can you post evidence that people in the AA have called Bernie Sanders a racist? I'll wait. Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #27

It has been implied many times noiretextatique Feb 2016 #80

He's certainly tone deaf on issues of race, IMO MaggieD Feb 2016 #81

I don't know if the whole party is judged by what gets posted at DU, but I hope not. merrily Feb 2016 #20
