Lets document all of the attack and smear attempts on Bernie

It seems to me that Hillary and the Democratic Party establishment is trying to use a record number of attacks against Bernie.


Here is what I have so far:


Data Theft accusation (setup, execution attempt)

Bernie Bros (akin to painting Occupy Wall Street members as dirty hippies, stereotype smear)

Iowa shenanigans (election fraud, Rovian)

Red Baiting (Mccarthyism)

Push Polling in Nevada and South Carolina (Rovian)

John Lewis smear (Swiftboat attack #1, Rovian)

Bruce Rappaport instead of Bernie Sanders in photo (Swiftboat attack #2, Rovian)



On Edit: added red baiting

Hillary has her surrogates mislead ill informed citizens about socialism, impling it's almost communism. (Claire McCaskill & her Billion dollar husband). Funny, Berine's brand of socialism was mainstream in the Democratic Party until the Clintons came along...
