If somebody says something bad about someone you like the normal reaction is to say something bad about someone they like.

I do think mine was on more solid footing. Brock has a long history of rat fuckery. He runs a superPAC that coordinates with Hillary's campaign and runs a propaganda media site.

fleeced at every level by every part of Sanders' campaign. His surrogates used them to sell products, his campaign staff used them to boost their advertisement commission checks, and the candidate himself used them to massage his own ego.

himself didnt use people to stroke his ego.

He made many mistakes, badly handled from the get go the white/black problem by not being more sensitive and so on, but at no point did Bernie Sanders the man do any of this for personal profit or to "massage his ego".

That isnt who he is. I know who he is, have known of him for a long time and that is not part of his makeup.

I will strongly support Hillary if she is the nominee, but I also will not sit by while people disparage Bernie, anymore than I will sit by when people disparage Hillary.

Not OK, we are liberals and we are better than that.

On the contrary even if YOU haven't heard of him certainly you have Run the Jewels. Or, if you haven't have you seen their tributes in Marvel comics and/or in graffiti art tags ...

I am 60 years old. I don't listen to rap at all. I barely listen to rock. Maybe, I listen to jazz, classical and the oldies but I have heard of them and him. It might have to do with a whole variety of factors but it is not that the group was not critically acclaimed or do not have an important role in popular culture.

But considering the genre I know that's far from unusual. On the bright side rappers are getting much better about that stuff...

Again, it's the genre and some of HRC's rapper supporters are guilty of the same "sin".

but it is ALSO many other really great things. And you are right, it IS changing.

I mostly don't care about celebrity endorsements. They are entertainers. Entitled to their opinions, but I have no more respect for them than any other random person.

I like Killer Mike's work OK. I am not huge fan, but I have some of his early stuff on a workout playlist and listened to the recent Run the Jewels cat sounds album a few times before getting bored with it.

I think he was an awful surrogate for Sanders, and wrong about many things, but I still don't have it in me to hate the guy. He is certainly not a rat fucker or whatever. Most of my criticism centers on the Sanders campaign team for the way they used him, not on Mike as an individual. He was just one of the pawns in the game, not a player.
