The effectiveness of a wikileaks doc dump can be

measured by the volume of ad hominem and tu quoque attacks.

1. Julian Assange just outed himself as anti-Semitic in a tweet.

Wikileaks as become a propaganda arm of Mr. Putin and stinks like the rotting corpse it has become.

2. For example.

3. Did you even read that thread?

It's called reading and understanding. Another example of what they are talking about http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/media/2016/06/why-are-there-triple-brackets-around-names-social-media

Mr. Assange is insinuating that people who criticize him are Jews. Really that passes your smell test?

17. Did you read the links on ad hominem?

4. And people here have revealed themselves to be anti-semitic

The fact is, these are actual emails from the DNC without the interpretation of Assange. If they are true emails, the messenger makes no difference. Does the messenger's views make them less true?

[Loki]

5. Well I guess it's of no consequence that Assange

and Putin and Trump have aligned themselves with anti semitics and it's obvious who on this board is bringing that crap here. I have to laugh at your interpretation of Mr. Assange as making no comment. Wikileaks hasn't released any emails between Mr. Trump and Mr. Putin have they? And you don't seem to be very interested in that possible fact.

[Matt_in_STL]

7. Are the emails a true representation of what the DNC sent?

The messenger does not negate the message. If his opinion was interjected then yes, that would negate it. However, this is actual emails in their actual words, released verbatim. The message is the message.

[Loki]

8. I have absolutely no proof of that other than what they have released.

You are apparently ready, willing and happy to accept that as truth. But you are not willing to accept that Bernie lost, are you? Whatever the DNC did or did not do, that does not alter the fact that this primary is over. Now go vote for whoever you want in the presidential election, but this board and this poster is supporting the Democrat, period. On edit: Mr. Assange's opinion is already evident when he released those "so called" documents and has left the RNC alone. You seem to be able to make that assumption, well I am making a different assumption because silence equals agreement.

[Matt_in_STL]

9. Perhaps the RNC is a little better with their security than DWS?

You can only release what you have and the DNC has shown time and again that Internet security is not really their thing.

10. So you approach this from a purely technological standpoint, then?

There is nothing in this batch of stolen emails that tells us anything we didn't already know: that the Sanders campaign was tanking and everyone knew it.

15. Precisely......it was losing, so apparently the email writers didn't bother to pursue

anything and focused on the general.

[Loki]

11. Why don't you look into the relationship that Mr. Trump and Mr. Putin have.

I'm surprised that doesn't interest you at all.

[Matt_in_STL]

12. Unless they wrote these emails, that is not germane to the discussion.

[Loki]

13. Ah, well then, that says it all.

[malaise]

6. Precisely n/t

[msanthrope]

14. Actually...the only thing it's done is unmask Assange. it's made not one whit

of difference at the actual convention. Democrats are united. The only people trying to make an issue of this are Greens.
The DNC didn't support Bernie? And?

19. Don't forget the Trumpites like those at Jackass Laughingstocks. eom

20. You might find this thread interesting.....

16. Actually, the measure of effectiveness is somewhat hard to put to pinpoint.

What comes before infinitesimal?

[MohRokTah]

18. Wow!

You think a Putin bought and paid for anti-semitic organization is the bearer of truth and justice????
