2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forum"Let it be known that now Sander's supporters have found issue with Obama daughter going to Harvard"
First, Brock and company invent the whole "Bernie Bros" myth.
NOW, they claim that the BBs THAT THEY INVENTED are insulting Obama and family.
Epic fail. Trolling that's not even good trolling.
This seems to be one of the latest fake charges to be made as part of the latest million dollar trolling campaign.
It is, of course, bullshit. Bernie supporters are not saying anything of the sort.
More about that campaign here:

2) Please provide proof that Bernie paid 16 million for online trolls. Thanks.

(14,255 posts)This is just another bullshit thing that Hillary's attack dog Brock is paying people to spread on the internet. How very presidential of her!!!!!
Funnily enough, a couple of actual DU members who support Hillary had an issue with Bernie not wearing a tux last night. Bernie doesn't have to pay anyone to make up stupid shit, the HRC supporters do that very well on their own, it seems.

(54,055 posts)There are vile, racist comments there about Malia so why do you think it's coming from Hillary's camp?
djean111
(14,255 posts)And if not, I don't consider that some Bernie supporters represent Bernie and all of his supporters.
Bernie has been called a lot shit, here, just today. So IMO this is just part of the internet jungle.
And, really, if anyone says they were gonna vote for Bernie until this happened, projectile vomiting will be involved.
In any event, nothing said on the internet could possible persuade me to vote for a warmongering Third Wayer, so i don't get too excited about this shit.
Racist stuff from the Hillary camp? Couldn't happen? Bwahahahahaha!
and 'bye!

(54,055 posts)especially on anonymous comment sections. This phenomenon has nothing to do with Clinton or Sanders' camp. You have to know this. Go to the site. These cretins don't need any urging from anyone to spew their hatred.
And I certainly am not trying to get you or anyone else to vote for Clinton.
She's done that quite well herself.

Think the Swiftboat shit was Rhode-Scholar-like material? No, it was piece-of-shit, debased bullying.
So embarrassing that H Clinton would lie down with this dog.

(36,392 posts)Their bullshit recycling is just like the republicans' arrangement with Fox and hate radio. The Clinton campaign tells Brock some lies to spread, he publishes them, and then the campaign and their minions act mortified. Remember "Obama is not a Muslim as far as I know"?

(1,163 posts)I mean it fails before it even begins.
Note: the OP was inspired by a claim in the Hillary Clinton group that this is a thing Sanders supporters are saying.
Not for a minute do I believe anyone supporting Sanders would even think such a thing.
That's a RWNJ thing to say.

(10,500 posts)I think you have to be a graduate of a school's college for your children to be considered a legacy. I don't believe grad school counts.
My guess is that Harvard College does not consider Malia Obama to be a daughter of one of their alumni.

I don't think any of us were impressed that George H.W. Bush's boy got into Yale somehow were we? I would imagine Obama's kid has a lot better grades.

I read but never post in the HRC group.
And, you're right, I see that the post was hidden. Not my alert, not my call.
But it was a bullshit post and, I believe, created by the million dollar program described

CentralCoaster
(1,163 posts)And heard the story about Correct the Record funding a new "breaking barriers" effort to flood social media with memes.
Then I get home and see this fresh shit in the latest threads line up, HRC group of course.
FEC loopholes mean Correct the Record can openly coordinate with Clintons campaign.
Citing lessons learned from online engagement with Bernie Bros, a pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC is pledging to spend $1 million to push back against users on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and Instagram.
Correct the Records Barrier Breakers project boasts in a press release that it has already addressed more than 5,000 people that have personally attacked Hillary Clinton on Twitter. The PAC released this on Thursday.
The PAC was created in May of last year when it was spun off from the American Bridge SuperPAC, which is run by longtime Hillary and Bill Clinton supporter David Brock. Brock also founded the left-wing media watchdog website Media Matters for America.
Some Bernie Sanders-supporting users on Reddit already started to notice the changes on Thursday afternoon.

(1,163 posts)The accusation against Sanders supporters provided no link.
I searched and could find no evidence.
As such, it can be deemed a de facto attempt to start the very lie that it purportedly found.
Look for a hidden post in the Clinton Group...

Anyone who does not see it that way is a sad a pathetic person! P.S. I support Bernie.

(3,040 posts)This sounds more like RWNJ trolling than anything any Sanders supporters would say.
What will Hillary do when actual crazy right wing online nuts start doing what Hillary Camp is saying so-called 'Bernie Bros' in the GE? Trump supporters have already started doxxing and sending death threats to people, what do they think they will do when they find people start lies being spread about what they say?
That is very worrisome, and no supporters should have to resort to lying about a candidate's supporters to win an election.
Please note, I support Hillary over Trump any day, I just am saying this BS will not go over as well with his supporters as it has against the 'Obama Boys' & 'Bernie Bros'.
