These antics, perpetrated by the Brock psychos, will be followed by fake retaliatory bullshit that they will blame on Bernie supporters.

What do you want to bet?

Just like the fake bullshit posts on Elizabeth Warren's page. They tried to pin that on Bernie supporters, but it was the Clinton camp that was in a big war with Warren at the time. DWS was lobbying Congress hard to destroy Warren's payday lender legislation, that Warren had been working on for years.

Underhanded psychos for whom no low is too low.

It "berned" up twitter, facebook, here, reddit, kos - everywhere - within minutes anyone that was online knew about it.

They are making a mistake thinking they can get away with this.
Bernie supporters are everywhere online. They pay for their trolls to do this and in turn not only do we fight back, we money bomb for Bernie.

We got this!

Once the news of the shenanigans going on at Facebook tonight gets out, it will blow up in Hillary's face big time.

Notwithstanding all of the phony baloney political posturizing bullshit that Hillary has put out lately, but this sort of thing will bring the house down on her in the state of California.

Brock should go to jail for this.

And I agree with comment upthread that Californians will be up in arms about it. Fucking with the internet in this way is more than offensive to the influential tech sector--it is a declaration of war. I just hope that they put their energy into voting--and getting registered to vote before the May 23 deadline**--rather than retaliation. (The Clinton campaign smells so bad, at this point, that retaliation would be counter-productive.)

**To vote for Bernie, you must register to vote by May 23, and you can choose to register as a Democrat or as "No Party Preference." But if you register as "No Party Preference," you must REQUEST the Democratic Party primary ballot, to vote for Bernie. It may be too late to do this as a mail-in. You may have to go the your polling place on June 7 (and REQUEST a Democratic Party ballot there). Beware of the "American Independence Party." Don't get confused. Do not mark any box on your registration form that has the word "independent" in it. Register ONLY as a Democrat or "No Party Preference."

because they're like a bunch of idiots throwing sand in the sandbox.

We have nothing in common with them. Crap like this, is their schtick, not ours.
