It's comforting to know that the ONLY thing Bernie's opponents

have to throw at him are cheap shots and lies.
When Bernie's entire life has been dedicated to doing the right thing,
what else have they got? And it makes them look bad, throwing stones at
such a remarkable person.

Oh I suppose they'll also try demonizing Bernie's supporters, but there is
a kind of natural law....one has to resonate with truth to be believed and
so those efforts too will fail.

Shine on Bernie. You are lighting the way.

1. that and his endless votes to prop up and pay for the MIC and our killing machinery nt

[Loudestlib]

5. A Hillary supporter complaining about the MIC and killing machinery?

That's rich. She peddled death across the globe.

[Armstead]

20. This is joke right? If Hillary's war record weren't so awful it might be amusing

[Jennylynn]

2. 😊

[notadmblnd]

3. They really hate that the candidate they support is so flawed.

But they're committed and can't be seen to change now. At least publicly, they can't.

[farleftlib]

4. The man has integrity

and he certainly has class. He has taken so much abuse during this campaign and he
always responds like the gentleman he is.

Even the bird sitting on his podium knew it was a safe place to be. He even called it a dove
asking for world peace.

[Art_from_Ark]

42. Bernie's reaction to the bird was perfect

He really showed his inner self, and it was a good thing to see.

[Lodestar]

43. I'm guessing Hillary's response would be to duck and cover...lol. n/t

6. IF the Democratic establishment gives the nomination to HRC it will prove they are more interested

In defeating Progressive Ideals than electing a president.

[COLGATE4]

11. "Democratic Establishment" = The most voters

[Vincardog]

21. Democratic Establishment = DWS, the DNC insiders, the CORPORATISTS

[COLGATE4]

22. Yep. That and 12.5 million voters.

[Vincardog]

23. Did you count how many were denied their vote?

[COLGATE4]

25. You mean members of the Democratic Party? I doubt it was too many.

[Vincardog]

26. I am not persuaded by your doubts

[COLGATE4]

28. Are you really arguing that registered Democrats were denied their vote?

[Vincardog]

34. look here= 100,000 NY City Voters Have Power to Contest Rejected Affidavit Ballots

[COLGATE4]

39. There's no way of telling how many of those are from people

who were not correctly registered as members of the Democratic Party. Which is why a purported class action suit was denied and each of the 100,000 need to individually apply to the court.

[YouDig]

7. I feel the opposite -- that's all Hillary's opponents do. And the voters agree with me.

[Joob]

8. Go Bernie!

Bernie Strong

[MisterP]

9. right--they say Trump will let him have it, but all the "socialist who'll cost us $18T" is from the

CLINTON side

12. "Bernie Sanders is the kind of person who goes to bed at night thinking about

how to increase the heating-oil aid program for the poor."

snip

Bernie wasn't quite so famous at the time and the editor scratched his head. "Bernie Sanders," he said. "That's the one who cares, right?"

"Right, that's the guy," I said.

I got the go-ahead and the resulting story was a wild journey through the tortuous bureaucratic maze of our national legislature. I didn't write this at the time, but I was struck every day by what a strange and interesting figure Sanders was.

Many of the battles he brought me along to witness, he lost. And no normal politician would be comfortable with the optics of bringing a Rolling Stone reporter to a Rules Committee hearing.

But Sanders genuinely, sincerely, does not care about optics. He is the rarest of Washington animals, a completely honest person. If he's motivated by anything other than a desire to use his influence to protect people who can't protect themselves, I've never seen it. Bernie Sanders is the kind of person who goes to bed at night thinking about how to increase the heating-oil aid program for the poor.

15. Thanks for posting this! Hadn't seen it.

Might also post this in Good Reads forum if you haven't already.

[2cannan]

17. It's old, Lodestar, slightly over a year. I came across it awhile back. nt

[Lodestar]

18. The date doesn't matter so much as the message. And that seems

currently very relevant. And I'm sure many never read it when it
first came out. So thanks for bringing here.

[Faux pas]

14. K N R-ed

[FlatBaroque]

19. Exactly right. And on the other hand

I try to imagine what the impact would be if Bernie was under investigation....and had a money laundering foundation....and left several countries in tatters...sold arms for donations....etc etc etc

[Armstead]

24. He's be a shoo-in

[Trust Buster]

27. Sanders is a Socialist and has promised that which he knows he can't deliver. He has failed.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

29. I wonder how much of this would be flung at Bernie, none of it warranted, if

certain folks had not spent all their time attacking Hillary, using GOP garbage to do it.

I have not seen a single warranted attack of Bernie other than a couple of past votes regards guns, for which he has repented for the most part.

Nothing in his personal life, and certainly nothing as in corrupt or money.

Forgetting shit he did when young, cuz Hillary has it too, there is nothing.

But the attacks of Hilary, wow, just all day everyday here and elsewhere.

I want to believe most of the attacks of Bernie here are based on that.

[MFM008]

30. VP Sanders

Yeah there's the ticket

[onecaliberal]

31. Some rot cleverly disguised as a human insinuated that bernie was just as bad as trump today

AND a jury allowed it to stand. It's beyond the pale. I can't wait to come in here and watch them cry about electing trump because that's what these people are hell bent on doing.

[Demsrule86]

35. I could see both sides of that

The jury probably watched the Andrea Mitchell/Bernie Sanders interview.

[Thinkingabout]

33. The luckiest day of Sanders life will the the day Hillary has the required delegates and becomes the

DNC nominee and there by escape vetting by the GOP. Hillary is not vetting him, there are many stories which are based on facts and a lot to do with his record as a congressional member.

[Demsrule86]

36. I have heard stuff too.

He is not really St.Berniel...no man is perfect Bernie supporters.

[Thinkingabout]

38. No need to fuel the GOP talking points.

[pmorlan1]

37. He's a great spokesperson

for us that's for damn sure and one helluva fighter for the 99%. I'm proud of him and what he represents. I never thought I'd get a chance to vote for an honorable champion of the people but next week I will have that chance.

[DookDook]

40. When I grow up,

I want to be like Bernie Sanders.

[Lodestar]

41. Yes. And just giving this thread a bump

as a reminder. They can't get to Bernie through reputation (as is so easily the case
with Hillary) so they go after the reputations of his followers as stated in the OP.
And you can be sure they will also bring people in to make it look that way...but
truth will win the day. Be sure if you do witness misconduct to get as much info about
the perpetrators as is possible...collecting evidence and all.
