and last night Hillary's on line supporters were claiming it was them mean ole Republicans doing it , and we had to think of unity I'm glad to see you guys back to being yourselves again

https://www.facebook.com/PeopleForBernie/

I find this blaming Hillary Bullshit, to be just that.

BS'ers see a conspiracy everywhere and it always carries the initials HRC.

so is it that's you guys feel there's more juice in blaming Bernie supporters or was it Hillary's townhall where she pretty much destroyed the unity illusion?

but here's Hillary's folks celebrating the FB page takedowns

Cheering and laughing at a political bust, isn't the same as perpetrating the mayhem....you know that. You are just wishing so badly you could blame this on Hillary

Or that the Clintons and their supporters do not see conspiracies everywhere?

...Hillary can damned well do the same when her HillaryBros pull some nasty shit like what happened last night.

...that is not an official Facebook representative, right?

they haven't ignorantly embraced?

Nothing to see, here.

Ya. Ya. lmao. Whatever.

...are happening for any other reason than the majority of the voters have rejected him as a candidate for POTUS

That's a dog-whistle weasel word when used like that, Sheep.

For one, it's possible that one bad actor did something nasty without anyone else being involved. That's not a conspiracy. But if two or more did, it is a conspiracy. And if someone alleges as much, it's a theory about a potential conspiracy.

Prosecutors do that for a living and no one accuses them of wearing a tin-foil hat.

And when something stinks, you have to consider the possibility that a dead rat is involved.

and those conspiracy theorists insist (yes, there have been multiple persons postulating the conspiracy...look at all of the threads, it's not that hard to find), without a shred of evidence, that their FB groups were shut down because of the actions of HRC and her supporters. Let me say that again, WITHOUT A SHRED OF EVIDENCE. Makes it a conspiracy.

I did, and it makes for interesting reading.

So, if person A makes a wild claim, that means nothing happened? No, it doesn't.

Now, for the not so wild claim. We have (Hillary supporter Zuckerberg's) FaceBook canning Sanders' groups at the same time it was revealed that HRC/Brock are spending a million to get up in the face of Sanders' supporters.

That much is not disputed.

Let's see. I have asserted the following:

1. Zuckerburg owns FB
2. Zuck supports Clinton
3. HRC/Brock have launched an online effort to get up in the face of Sanders' supporters.
4. Sanders' supporters pages are taken down.

So, what did I make up?

despite screenshots of their intentions, exactly how they did it and all the cackling afterwards.

Despite, the 'little bit nutty, little bit slutty' Brock's $1 million dollar 'army' (of the spineless, keyboard bullies and liars).

Sorry, I didn't fall for the mushroom clouds and babies thrown out of incubators thing either.

You seem to think millions are so fucking stupid.

"cackling", what a nasty, hate filled description. But frankly I thought it a big fucking joke on BSers right from the beginning, and all the conspiracies that followed were completely predictable.

the reality is very different

Cackling - what's the problem??? The screenshots show them celebrating and laughing - I think of cackling when I see that kind of bullying, celebratory disconnect - like laughing over a human being sodomized with a bayonet and tortured and murdered in the street after being trapped by NATO planes overhead. You know how you just sorta associate things? - that's what I do, intentional or not.

I am pretty sure you could have figured that out by now....I just thought I'd state the obvious.

You further descriptions are just you attempt at justifying your insults to some of us that would never ever have "cackled" over anything as heinous as you state...all because they don't adore your special Bernie.

pathetic and nasty as is your wont.

It lies, insults, nasty acts like yours that has finally been exposed and is costing Bernie, big.

no one shut anything down. FB has made that clear. but don't let the facts get in the way of a good insult and conspiracy.

because that's what you've done all over this thread. THAT is pretty disgusting.

person here to get help.

Mirror ------------------ You.

Perhaps some anger management...so you learn not to lash out at the wrong people

Zing!!!!!!

Maybe you could go steal some medical info from a private group to pm to gossip about and make your target ill with - then have the balls to demand an apology for 'making you' do it and claim the illness wasn't really real and should disqualify that poster from hosting the group you thought you owned? And then hiding out for days while everyone wondered what kind of sick asshole would do such a thing?

It won't be mine you get this time, I think I deleted my stuff, just in case.

What should we expect from you???

Your sanctimonious, hypocritical bullshit is sickening.

Yes - CACKLING. If you have a problem with the word, get it scrubbed from the fucking dictionary.

Lol.

word salad at times.

I really feel for Sander's supporters, loosing sucks no matter who you are! Hang in there polly, it will get better soon!

I really feel sorry for anyone that has to 'win' by cheating and lying, no matter who you are.

No, things for the rest of the world will not get better soon with this type of 'win'. Decades of it have shown people suffering in the rest of the world just how bad things can already get ........ and it's just going to get worse.

So glad it's brightened your day, personally, though! Really, all people do need to feel good about themselves for something so I suppose there is that - - for you!

loser. This is pathetic to see. Being a Obama supporter of 2008, I was proud of Clinton grace in losing. That is to be admired. We cannot win all times and how we handle losing says something about us.

Beautifully written, thank you seabeyond.

That has not one fucking thing to do with cheating in a 'contest' that will determine the lives of millions of actual human beings across the planet.

Which can be great, or harmful ......... depending on how far one is willing to sacrifice decency to get to the 'win'.

And this is who we want in the White House?

This country is so fucked it isn't even funny. We are sinking to the level of Russia.

more important than "weak and right". That's why we have so much poverty (50 million) because the conservatives see the poor as weak. The wealthy rationalize that they deserve to be wealthy because they are Strong.

When H.Clinton stood side by side with Bush and explained how we needed to invade Iraq, she was being "strong and wrong". She knew she was wrong but better to be "strong and wrong". Some of us don't agree with the arrogance of Bill Clinton's statement. We don't believe being strong or tough is the most important element of a leader. We think empathy is important. Empathy is laughed at as weak by the conservatives.

Who are those who support it to judge anyone? This brings into question their ability to even know right from wrong.

.... again, in this all too familiar order.

All it will do is drive support away from her. I don't get it...

Compare the people who do this to Trump supporters who assault a protester at a rally. They get off on it. They reflect their leader. Sleazy and slimy to the core.

fight them forever. Their hubris makes them think people should just bow down and accept what they get.

Bill Clinton said being wrong is ok if you are strong. "Strong and Wrong" beats "Weak and Right." He most likely isn't sorry about Iraq, because while we were wrong, we were strong.

what's in it for these people? even if they're all silver spoons they gotta realize that eventually there'll be nothing left to sell of the country

is this what they want to turn the party into? break any promise, kick over every rule that holds society together, switch any ideology, simply so you get some vicarious GLEE that you've cheated someone out of office and even though people are going to jail it doesn't matter because there's no provisions for do-overs?

What's in it for these people? Maintaining the status quo. Period. imho.

the party has experience in eliciting viciousness by its footsoldiers for the sake of defending nothing: they've decoupled emotion from anything real generating it--same trick as Fox News

i am a local party official in a swing state.

i have been working from day 1 to try to make sure all would support the ticket come november.....After last night from what i see of the active party members in my county, the dislike for hrc has transformed from dislike to hatred....


hope you folks like gop control of house senate and the potus


morons

i am being pragmatic here...in my state bernie took every county but one......

hrc just pooped in her food bowl
aw to bad folks to blind to see that

No, it's rather sad to see such naked desperation on public display.

Got in a fight with my boyfriend last year. He punched me in the face, someone called the police, he rammed his own head into the wall repeatedly and tried to tell the police I did it; they looked at him like he was crazy (and he was, off his meds). The only way it could have been more ridiculous is if Jerry Springer were there.

These fantasy narratives are transparent.

And Hillary supporters have no reason to bother with shutting Bernie FB pages

I won't vote for Trump or Cruz or Kasich of any other right-wing asshole, including HER. When she disavows her warmongering, I could reevaluate. But for now, if the nomination goes to HER, I won't be voting for the first time since my first vote for George McGovern in 1972.

She's a hawk, people! Why is the Democratic Party self-immolating for HER?

and not have people here denying everything - did ya?

Are they aiding in getting Bernie's groups shut down?

Astroturfing is is nothing new during campaign season, nor is it something that has never been attached to the Clinton campaign. But aside from unsourced screenshots, no information emerged to substantiate the April 2016 claims of coordinated or paid harassment of Sanders supporters on social media.

I've never seen anything like this before in previous primaries. The utter paranoia and conspiracy theories.

Trashing thread.
