Depends on haw you want to attack her.

piece of shit the republicans say? Because that's really not why I come to this group.

respond with LTTEs.

You don't say.

So, why did you bring this here? And don't tell me "be prepared this is what they're saying" because I already know this is what they say. This is what republicans/status quo say everyday.

It's also a bunch of BS. They will pull anything out of their asses to try to keep their individual wealth - even as the gap between the very wealthy and poor grows wider every day and we watch our middle class become a thing of the past.

It's really not the kind of crap I'd expect to see posted in a Bernie Sanders group. We are a group of folks who are open to closing that gap.

The media publishes crap like this every single day and twice on Sunday ... this is not some big news flash. This is republican theory 101.

What I don't appreciate is the backhanded way people bring this stuff into a protected group under the auspices of "oh help me debunk this". Yeah, right.

papers that the media won't report on.

This is a Bernie supporter forum, right?

The post is a CALL TO ARMS to get those LTTEs written.

Not sure why others didn't.

As you said, we must be prepared for this type of slime to be used against Bernie.

An avalanche of LTTE calling out such garbage, will show our support for Bernie.

The excerpt I posted was all about Bernie being a socialist and wealth redistribution.

LTTEs can point out that yes we need wealth redistribution because the 1 percent are taking it all for themselves -- a point Bernie had repeatedly made on the campaign trail.

He wants a country that works for EVERYONE, not just the billionaires and corporate interests.

go ahead. If you'd like to post them here for comment I'm sure that would be helpful.

I really wasn't under the impression anyone even read such local papers anymore. In my neighborhood they insist on delivering them and they lay in the street until people pick them up on trash day and throw them in their recycling bin.

But I am a younger generation (under 50) so that could be the disconnect here.

writing cr*p like this and getting it published?

but if you want to write letters go ahead.

something we see every single day from the GOP and media in this country.

So, we have a poster putting it front and center in this protected group & asking us to write letters to the editor? Seriously?

How many of you have a local paper delivered and write letters to the editor?

I might buy this "technique" if the poster had posted the letter along with his rebuttal letter & perhaps asked for feedback or something like that. But that's not what happened here.

If you're so convinced a "letter to the editor" is needed, you write it.

I will continue to do what I think helps more - contributing directly to Bernie's campaign & passing along pro-Bernie information (as opposed to dumping anti-socialist crap in a protected group).

have you heard of Facebook, Twitter, Reddit? Bernie's team is doing an amazing job. He is reaching the younger generations just as Obama did. You're not getting the same bang for the buck with your letters.

Soapbox (reply #13) would agree.

Repukes always do that and Dems always sucker to it. Repukes play offensive. It's about time Dems did it too.

Read his journal:

It's a tool in the activist toolbag.

No doubt he was speaking of the Soviet Union and Communist China anyway.

payer health care program not matter who is elected and other so called "socialist" solutions today. Seems to me the author is missing the context when it comes to Churchill.

Means of production?

Huh?

Somebody needs to take Econ 101 again . . .

suburbs of Dallas, TX ... it's nothing. I am still leery of why the OP even posted it here in this protected group. He insists he wants a letter writing campaign to refute it but that is something out of the 1970s. Bizarre.

It appears that you think I have some sort of hidden agenda, and for the life of me, I don't know why.

eta: Newspapers are still in business and I don't know why you are pooh-poohing the idea.

eta(2): Now if you don't want to write ltte's, that's your choice, but please don't discourage others from doing so.

Frequency: Writers are limited to one letter every 30 days.

Look, I don't know what your intent is, but I am not paid to post on DU all day.

If you don't want to write ltte's, that's your choice, but don't discourage others from doing so.

People can write whatever they want - I'm not stopping them.

But I will comment when people bring right-wing BS into a protected group - whether you like it or not.

garner support for bernie sanders than an llte. i suggest following Bernie's lead: focus on the truth, what bernie really says, and focus on progressive action.

personally, i would not waste my time responding to such ignorant ridiculous gibberish written in a manner so as to hit 2 birds with one stone. mr. greene tried to be clever in his attack on both hillary and bernie sanders only to pander to fort worth republicans.

your enthusiasm to rally bernie supporters is appreciated. however, more people are enthused presenting the offense rather than the defense. defensive actions in response to ignorant rants gets old real fast.

furher, i agree with the other poster here and question the value and the intent for posting this type of negative propaganda driven drivel in this group. we are adults here…and many of us have been around the block many times and after a time, certain patterns become obvious.

p.s. why aim and be happy for only one vote, antigop? presidential campaigns are not the same as christian campaigns (or any other religion) proselytizing to gain even just one new believer in order to gain a good seat in heaven next to their jesus, god, prophet, savior, redeemer, cult leader, etc..

and one more thing. you stated "a call to arms". i am offended with the use of this metaphor. we are not here to slay anything - bernie's campaign is to rebuild our democracy by progressing toward the future to better days for the middle class and the working poor, the unemployed, vets & disabled vets, families, students, and the marginalized ....

posting something on facebook.

I honestly do not know why people are pooh poohing the idea of writing ltte's.

CALL TO ARMS
Definition from the Merriam-Webster dictionary:
a summons, invitation, or appeal to undertake a particular course of action <a political call to arms>

but I don't think anyone is fooled by this display.

Bernie is obviously the best candidate for president in 2016. The fact that the hard-core repugs in Dallas are worried this early is music to my ears. They should be worried. He can win this!!! Go Bernie!!!!!!

but why spread it around for them?

How about just focusing on the all the great things are happening. Nothing works like positive and RIGHT thinking.

I could not care less what the old oligarchs are putting out there, we should respond with the FACTS and not help them spread their garbage, but that's just my opinion.
