There no proof but it's possible and we need to know!
The is also potential evidence he is a retired kamikaze pilot this too must be investigated.
He might be behind Bengahzi too. Just to make Hillary look bad.

No.

As a matter of fact, I didn't see a single person who was obviously Jewish in that crowd of supporters at the official announcement of his presidential run!

False implications exactly like the one you are attempting to use to slander me in your post above.

I guess launching in Vermont was a mistake, and I guess actually having a stellar record of fighting for equal rights for POC just means squat... OMG poor Bernie!

(15,429 posts)Gotcha.
Zorra
(27,670 posts)as racist.
They aren't saying it directly, but they are definitely using transfer and association to imply it.
But you must know this; you've seen these links already.
Why else would these issues be brought up if not to connect Bernie and his supporters with racism?
There's a whole lot of people here who can see through this type of bullshit in a heartbeat.
Ever read any of those freeper posts on DU, where shallow, homophobic RW christians come here and posts indirect anti-gay material, and think they are being clever, and that no one could possibly ever see through what they are doing?
That's exactly what is happening with this race baiting trash. People are posting race baiting bullshit and tagging Bernie with it, and they think that no one will see what their game is.
MohRokTah
(15,429 posts)Sanders supporters are getting butthurt because people have pointed out that he left out important messages for a very large portion of the Democratic base.
ieoeja
(9,748 posts)How can he talk about racism in America while ignoring Hillary's racist 2008 campaign? If he starts talking about it too much, someone is going to ask him about that. How can he respond to, "do you think Hillary Clinton should be disqualified from ever being a Democratic office holder after her last minute attempts to change election laws to suppress the Black vote in Nevada during the 2008 primary?"
If he says "yes", he is attacking Hillary.
If he says "no" or refuses to answer, then he is ignoring the rebirth of Jim Crow election laws, e.g. not addressing concerns of a very large portion of the Democratic base.
You are very right. Hillary's racist 2008 campaign is a really big problem for Sanders. He's damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't.

(15,429 posts)Failing to directly address the policy concerns of POC will, in fact, only serve to alienate the candidate with those constituencies.
It's merely a statement of fact.

(15,429 posts)He needs to remind people of his past and his plans for the future.
He needs to address the current concerns related to the police murders of POC that are occurring consistently across the nation.
It's merely a statement of fact.
MineralMan
(146,329 posts)In fact, I just wrote a reply to that effect in another thread.
Bernie Sanders has always been a strong spokesperson for civil rights. Neither he nor Hillary Clinton have neglected that. It's a bogus argument entirely. I must have posted a dozen replies today saying that in the threads on the topic.
fadedrose
(10,044 posts)And we sure can use some non-serious stuff. Listening to the news is enough to make me (want to) drink, overeat, and sleep too much.
As long as nobody takes it seriously, it does not harm. Bernie is impenetrable because he is so honest, and his supporters are learning from his example...

Is Bernie A possible Satanist in addition to being a racist?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026741064
REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
This is just pure flamebait, designed to create more disruption on DU. A jury can hide it, if it think such stuff is over the top.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu May 28, 2015, 02:16 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: To think, we have two more summers of this kind of stuff. I am not hiding it because it is clearly satirical.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: this is satire.. and pretty good too!
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm a Hillary supporter who disagrees with OP a good deal of the time. This was an obviously sarcastic post made by a Bernie supporter. I am not sure how this is hide-able.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I as a member of the jury do not think this is over the top.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I think it's just lighthearted fun.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Oh, and Ted Cruz and Scott Walker don't use the bathroom AT ALL. Which explains a lot, when you think about it.
