we'd be looking at that defamation the entire campaign if his supporters had not stepped up and stepped in !

stand behind Bernie to force our government to be more responsive to us and to fix the problems Bernie has been fighting for from the beginning of his service to mankind.

YES WE CAN. Don't ever let anyone tell you it can't be done because "pragmatism".

I hope the person who altered the university records will be prosecuted.

Them's my 2 cents

with strong rules and strict procedures to follow before changes can be made to items in their archival holdings. Am surprised at how easy it was for this to happen with what sounds like minimal or no oversight of the process.

I pay A LOT of attention to politics and if I were not on DU "right now" and reading "this post" I wouldn't have heard all the smears had been refuted!

I honestly think this info needs to be reposted EVERY DAY for a few weeks here on DU, and mentioned on every talk radio show we can get onto, until the MSM reports it and at least most of those who are politically aware knows it.

Everywhere we go, we must get the truth out. Even if it's a little tiresome at times.

In a small but very real way, we're actually making a difference.

My name here is "highprincipleswork", because I know that "high principles" do work. They work the best, and they win in the end.

But the funny thing about high principles and about what is right and good in the world is that in the midst of so much false doing and false saying and horrible behavior, they only work when WE the people stand up for them.

It's a powerful thing, that they work, and that they work the best, and that they work the longest and in the end. But they require work and they require people standing up for them and repeating them as much as other people repeat all the lies.

This is a seemingly small instance of it, but such a powerful teacher and model.

Thank you people!

Keep posting!

At first I didn't understand the big deal but because of posters like you I have seen the light!

Still waiting for Capeharts response...

From the evidence I have at my disposal this is definitely Bernie Sanders and it seems like it WAS a smear campaign

Thank you I would give you all hearts but im poor

I agree it was a big deal, or I wouldn't have gotten so worked up over it !

Big media will be shocked it is not working. Expect the closing of the net though. That is my tin foil hat for the day

Money in politics is 1A, but net neutrality is 1B. We must stand up for the right of the people to have their voice heard and the right to organize. The Internet plays a critical role.

Thanks for the thread, K Gardner.

Here's their recent "correction", which has another falsehood:

Grand institution

I think looking back we will think of Watergate and Bush v Gore will be thought of as grade school politics.

There is a lot at stake for a lot of very rich and powerful people.

And left grade school behind

to move it to the social networks. Even the news media is not working. It used to be that they could quote from a power person and not worry about it. But now there are so many people able to do searches and refine the data in minutes and catch the power people in their lives before the ink dries.

The power people can live in their bubble and only communicate with yes people, but that is not going to cut it in this new world.

Old media also hates new media. Personally I know we are disrupting local media. I have been told this. My inability to ignore certain stories is forcing the big boys to cover them. Such as poverty

I was thinking the same thing.

Do these editors not have children or grandchildren who use the net and know its power and what the f is going on! How can they live their lives in such a bubble?

That says a lot re how out of touch the establishment candidate and her machine are.

Thanks, LiberalArkie!

article from last year. They have been playing catch up since before Bernie announced, they just did not know it. I equate it with IBM thinking that there would only be a few computers in the world.

Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts walks in the snooty shop that refused her service and holds up her bags full of expensive clothing fr a competitor. Looks at the clerks and says,
"BIG MISTAKE!"

That's what they're doing.

HRC has been playing establishment politics, big business politics, wall street politics. That is everything that this election is about. This election (If HRC had looked ) is a continuation of Occupy Wall Street. People are betting that the world will not even have an economy by November of this year. Just like most of HRC big contributors have a vested interest in the status quo, all of Bernies contributors have a vested interest in ending the status quo.

approved DU authorities?

In The Fourth Position!

Pushing their narratives through repetitive, one-way communication is no longer possible, so every new mass-shooting or bombing immediately prompts press conferences insisting that spying 'backdoors' have to be inserted into PCs and smart phones. Not being able to control the currency of ideas is the thing they most fear now.

In case you hadn't noticed.

I worked once for a very smart executive that kept interviewing people for a VP job. Me just the resident phone and data guy bumped into him one day in the elevator after a run and said "You have no idea how hard it is to hire someone who doesn't agree with me". He wanted a few people around to bounce opposing ideas off of.

Democrats that agree?

employer instead of agreeing with everything.

The Democratic Party that was thriving when Bill was first elected governor is now just a shell of its former self.

and a yummy Jet's pepperoni pizza!

Or Bernie Women love pizza and red wine !

after a draining work-week. About to hit the sofa with a pile of This Old House mags and Game of Thrones. Yes, it's that kinda day!

with my toasted cheese sandwich.

To deliberately misquote him! Outrageous!

Time Mag Mag...

Ya got me on the Rag Rag...

Take your insults about the Queen...

And shove them up your royal Time-eez Machine!

This is ratfuckery, pure and simple.

At least go to other publications, record the conversations, to get the truth out.

This is freakin outrageous!

Sanders was right, they are throwing the sink at him, attempting to cast doubts, but we're there to push back every step of the way. It's clear that she can't stand up to him on the issues, like the environment (Keystone), foreign policy (Iraq, and now no-fly zone), campaign finance, Glass Steagall/Wall Street, etc. I don't see arguments about that on this board and the reason is they can't defend HRC's record on the issues...

Thank you!

to personalize your avatar. One of the few perks.

Who actually owned du

Great news. Just say no to Swift Boat lies.

is a good in this respect

eom

And why did she go to all the trouble to petition the Univeristy of Chicago archives to change the name from Bernie to Rappaport to Sanders, then somehow magically the Times, and Capehart and WaPo, are all over it?

This lie went around the world about a humdred times over the last day or two. It cannot be walked back in any proportional way (well technically it could be, but we all know the MSM won't do that). That's how the game is being played, and it absolutely sucks. They need to fight Bernie on policy, not with lies.

I have no idea how we prevail against this kind of thing. It''s great that the pushback got to the bottom of it, still, I have to think it was "mission accomplished" for the Clintons. Capehart's husband (or live-in, don't know if they're married) is a paid Hillary staffer. This didn't just happen organically.

I may try to look into it, but I have a feeling someone, somewhere, is already on it !

When four "alumni" saw the pic and decided it was Rappaport

From TIME: Bruce Stark, who was roommates with Rappaport for two years and best man at his first wedding, said he was sure he recognized his friend in the photo. (Stark can be seen seated in the far right of the photo. He is the African-American man with the hair part.) “The way he’s holding the book there and his left hand—that was a Bruce gesture, and the hair,” said Stark, who was well-aquatinted with Sanders and now supports his presidential bid. “My reaction is yes, that looks like Bruce.”

Two other alumni, Sally Cook, class of 1966, and Robin Kaufman, class of 1965, also said they believed the photo showed Rappaport. Since the image does not show the man’s face, the alumni conceded that it was difficult to say for certain the man is not Sanders.

. “Even in the ’50s, the U of C was known as a hotbed of radicalism,” remembers Sally Cook, AB’66 (Class of 1965), who entered the College in 1961. “Some of my friends’ parents were shocked that my parents would let me go.”

From U of C Magazine in article about Sanders.

also that Cook is the one who went to the archive to get it changed, which is why I focused on her.

It could all just be an honest mistake, but I'd be surprised, there are large forces at work and the stakes are high.

Bernie's authenticity numbers are a probem for Hillary, so they are doing anything and everything to take them down. Which is pathetic, because Bernie has earned those authenticity numbers, he's probably the most honest and authentic politician I've ever seen.

and/or Hillary's campaign, it's all over for their campaign but for the shouting.

They will never recover from this in the eyes of the millennials who are on social media. They will spread the truth out far and wide, no matter if the corporate media doesn't.

It'a a common name, but my google search only turned up one attorney by that name who was a University of Chicago alumna, Class of 1966. She's lived and worked in Indianapolis for 43 years. I hope there is at least one uncompromised journalist out there who will contact her and interview her in depth as to who and what motivated her in this deception.

I Googled for a bit but couldn't find much. Should have tried LinkedIn as you did.

I wonder if Lee Fang at the Intercept would have any interest in getting to the bottom of this?

Wanted to be the first woman SCOTUS justice, said Indianapolis wasn't ready for female lawyers -- this lady is a Hillary supporter. Take it to the bank.

Her piece starts on page 21 (scroll down):

https://alumniweekend.uchicago.edu/sites/default/files/50th%20Reunion%20PreConnect%20'65%20-%20Website%20v1.pdf

Nothing damning in there, nor anything I could see to place her in Hillary's sphere of infuence. I still think there likely is something, and we just haven't found it yet.

is SO insignificant and SO non-controversial. Whether a photo is him or not - *gasp and clutches pearls*

to pour my energy and heart into Bernie.

This ultimately makes Team Clinton look bad. Dumb.

Hillary's "firewall" among black voters.

The Clinton campaign needs the AA vote. Which is also why, in the last debate, she repeatedly accused Bernie of dissing Obama.

I've been free riding David's website here, so I need to be gracious and delicate about this subject area ...

But, some one with some prominence here has been promoting this falsehood, or at least allowing this 'incorrect' interpretation by giving that false narrative a sort of administrative sanctioned credibility ..

That person should now make clear that this false narrative is unacceptable here ....

For the record- I love DU and the administrators ... fourteen years running now ...

making UChicago change a photo caption and thinking they can take a victory lap before it's changed back? did they not think it'd be changed back?

DU was part of making this happen

He describes conversation with Jonathan Capehart (look at comments section.)

Capehart called the photographer looking for something to cover his own ass? Still trying to spin his fable instead of looking for the truth? He should be made to release the recorded interview.

Got Capehart more than a bit worried. Too Bad.

And never work in journalism again. WaPo appears to have egg on its face.

This has been up an hour and huh, no HRC supporters to be seen on this thread...



Speaking of inconvenient truths

You expect them to even a knowledge this?

With all the other threads on this subject and even one by Skinner himself, so, yep, hell yes, I do. And I'd bet you do too.

Guess they'll chose to ignore this and let it drop...hoping some other issue will replace these headlines. Perhaps.

Ignore when on the losing side

They may not acknowledge the OP, but they're alive and kickin' in other threads, digging up whatever nonsense they can find to attempt to disparage Bernie.
