And they get away with it. If I posted a link from those two organizations trasjing Sanders it would be hidden. There is a double standard on DU.

but with some candidates seemingly not troubled using Rove's playbook or hiring right-wing hacks and Wall St/Madison Ave PR firms, I don't blame folks for trying to fight back
