Absolutely it's not just DU.. the "Libertarian Liberals" that SJ is talking about are damn well all

over the net.

Nobody would be even be talking about those BS supporters if they hadn't gone after #BlackLivesMatter activists and supporters in the first place.. something they try to brush over while painting themselves as victims.

"...or that people are going after Sanders supporters because Sanders is so pure and pristine that no one can criticize him (easily one of the dumbest things I've ever seen here."

It's also one of the most hypocritical turn of events.. after years of whining that President Obama fans didn't like any criticism of him(which was untrue.. constructive criticism Yes.. "POSUCS-Trojan damn Horse-NO".).. turns out they brook no critique of BS.. whatsofuckingever.

Not all of Bernie's supporters around here are spinning as fast as they can to condemn this and other articles exposing the actions of "Libertarian Liberals" who went after #BlackLivesMatter Activists.. there are some who actually agree with them. They are the ones who are helping their candidate.

Mahalo Starry Messenger! "Campaign Zero" a plan to end Police Killings.. from your link..

Elzie added, "The four of us can't speak for every black person in America." However, she added, “As cliché as the phrase is, knowledge really is power in this case. I want people to make the best-informed decisions for themselves and their community, and I think Campaign Zero definitely helps.”

For instance, Elzie said, she scrolled over the Campaign Zero table showing presidential candidates and whether they'd taken a specific stand on the activists' 10 core issues. The Democratic candidates had many boxes filled in with positions, but the Republicans' were empty.

“It maps out plain as day who has spoken on what," Elzie said. “Just looking at this chart, the Republicans have said nothing about anything that remotely affects what’s happening in America right now.”

It's a tool, Packnett added, to “ultimately hold the 2016 candidates accountable."

Good, that's what we need.. since the Police Depts obviously weren't doing anything on their own.

Add this..

1. End broken windows policing.
2. Community oversight.
3. Limit use of force.
4. Independently investigate and prosecute.
5. Community representation.
6. Body cams / film the police.
7. Training.
8. End for-profit policing.
9. Demilitarization.
10. Fair police union contracts.

I took two years off in 2010.. all the doom and gloom exploding about ACA was extraordinarily

vitriolic and ignorant. It's now Obamacare and it's helping millions.. they can't even stand that.

They were wrong then and they're wrong now.

Have a peaceful hiatus DemocratSinceBirth.. you deserve it.

Peace, Love, and Aloha, Cha

"Sanders gets raucous, but mostly white welcome in South Carolina as he works for black support"

"Sanders and his aides acknowledge he must get more black support, in South Carolina and other states, to win the nomination contest against Hillary Rodham Clinton."

And, yet too many of his supporters treat African Americans like this..

“It this a legitimate group? Have their official media accounts said anything concerning this? Could be paid subversion,” wrote another.

The doxxing began.

“Apparently one of the women, Marissa Johnson, was a Sarah Palin supporter some time back. You can probably draw your own conclusions…” wrote one.

Yeah, that was BFD on du.

It’s not everyone. On Reddit, it’s easy to find hundreds of comments discussing how best to understand, respond to, or support the activists. And it’s hard to tell the allegiances of online conspiracy theorists — and impossible to underestimate the penchant for mischief online. But many of the comments were similar to those heard in person at Sanders events over the last month.

"The Sanders campaign did not respond to two requests for comment on supporters and the conspiracy issue"

So they are well aware of how some of these supporters are acting in his name.

Tio Oso..

“It’s very insulting and completely tone deaf and really indicative of the level of vitriol and derision that very specific Bernie Sanders supporters are exhibiting and began to exhibit right away — which is 100% racist, it’s discriminatory, it’s very anti-black,” she said.

Mahalo for the link, MADem

Tio Oso is right on target.. And, those saying it's "time to move on" and "this OP is trolling"..

are part of the problem.

#BlackLivesMatter will say when "it's time to move on".
