Cannot reply to HRC forum post

which would not be a problem except one of the posters put up another version of the "it ain't Bernie in that photo" story. Tweetie and the Toad say of course it isn't, and Tweetie tore into Devine about the alleged lie.

Problem?

The photographer who took the photo said it was.

Further problem? The poster repeated the story as if nothing new had been revealed.

That, to me, a) unethical and b) completely expected.

I especially, as I said above, dislike the tactic of putting something like that out when people like me, who have been banned for reasons still a total mystery to me, can't reply directly to the post.

Again, completely expected.

own forum I don't care. Its incredibly sad to see but that's their sandbox. I would say if she was as popular as they WISHED she was she would have massive posts and support here but she isn't. People aren't 'against' her and they don't 'hate' on her questioning her issues and positions. They're choosing Bernie because he's better for them on the issues. It is a massive thing going on and its happening for a reason. If they wish not to see nor respect that, then that's their problem.

Capehart just said it on MSNBC Andrea Mitchell

The photographer is 100 percent sure that is Bernie Sanders addressing the group.

The ex-wife of Mr. Rappaport is 100 percent sure it is her ex- husband.

He just said it, sooooo I dont know either way (frankly doesnt matter to me)

so it seems there is some confusion about this on both sides

15. But it is the same person in both photos. Not hard to understand at all.

It is Bernie in both photos.

Saying anything else is just more Clinton supporter dishonesty.

No critical thinking skills; if they had them, the entire group would look like that jet.com commercial, with all the purple exploding heads.

Hmmmmm.....now that makes me laugh!

Until they are told otherwise, this will be the approach.

... is this new strategy of theirs of posting their most outrageous comments only in their 'safe place'.

In other words, they can't take the heat.

So, they are out of the kitchen and moved into the Hillary nursery room.

I actually find this rather gratifying and encouraging.

It is an interesting tactic that I believe has helped them spread more disinformation freely than they normally might.
