Wow, I think the Sanders crowd needs to take a collective deep breath. Funerals should never be politicized. Who does that ? This kind of stuff is even off limits to Republicans. Congratulations.

I swear you Bernie fans have gone completely around the bend. Now you want everyone to disrupt the decorum of a fucking funeral. Thankfully your candidate stands heads and shoulders above all of you. Now don't forget to whine to the alerters.

you don't particularly care for at funerals - because they were invited same as you were? I'm glad I don't know you personally.

That is what we are seeing in that picture.
The figure in the background could be one of us, observing the collusion between the two 1%'ers, against the 99%.

but that person is the background looks creepy as hell. Like a zombie Guy Fawkes.

Oh, and to politicize a photo from a funeral is pretty scummy. I guess you think that Sen. Sanders would have pushed him away and wagged his finger at him? Come on.

"Human decency" is a term that should not be applied to two warmongers. Think of how very many funerals they were responsible for. With no photo ops.

Some of us don't go there because we'd like to avoid that sh*tstorm, so stop essentially ruining all of DU for us, thank you.

I'm supporting Bernie Sanders, but posts like this don't do us Sanders supporters any favors. I've already learned from this thread that "Bernie fans have gone completely around the bend" and ”Bernie bros will sink to any level."

How does your OP help Sen. Sanders' candidacy? How does it help DU as a community?

I was not trying to help or destroy anyone
I often post things because, i cannot process them
this is one of those things


I am one of those here at DU who has not decided which democrat I will vote for
It's March, and I like to take my time
So, this picture might help me decide, or it might not....
In the meantime, I hope not to step on too many feet - I leave that for my relatives


peace,

As if her lovey-doviness with Kissinger wasn't bad enough?

I'm amazed how things that Hillary Clinton does are the fault of 'Bernie Bros' or 'Bernie fans'.

Bernie fans point to actual things she does. Things with video evidence. Things with photographic evidence. Her own freaking words. But the 'bad' thing is always pointing them out, never what Ms Clinton herself has done or said.

Politicians (or their handlers at least) normally avoid just this kind of photo

If Bush/Clinton wanna yuck it up and embrace their 1% club friendship, that's fine. But how hard is it to check for photographers first?

He's probably very likeable outside of work. I don't think he gets involved in the hatred. He probably shared a laugh and embraced her for a photo. I'm a bernie fan, but what did you want her do do? Tell him to go f himself?
