Are there really morons who believe the DNC assassinated Seth Rich ?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I would laugh if there wasn't a death involved

[BannonsLiver]

1. It's the new pizza thing

Another in a long line Benghazi, Fast and Furious, Solyndra, Soros, Obama's birth certificate, Hillary's emails and on and on.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

2. Who the hell is Seth Rich?

Obviously I'm living under a rock if I haven't heard of him.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. DNC staffer who was murdered in DC.

And now being exploited by conspiracy nut right wingers against his own family's will.

[sarah FAILIN]

13. Not just a staffer

He was the expert on something related to the voting using touch screens from what I remember of an article from the time. Now all I'm seeing is "data analyst". I admit, I have been suspicious of this death, but not of Clinton. I suspected he found out something was going on and was stopped from telling by the reps or Russians. Maybe that is wrong, and I don't want to add to a RWTP, but the reps had reasons to not want anyone to look into the voting and data info.

[uponit7771]

48. +1

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

14. And when did this happen?

I realize I'm admitting a lot of ignorance here, but I've never heard of this person. Perhaps the fact that I live more than 2,000 miles from DC is a factor here.

[StevieM]

15. It happened in July 2016.

Here is the Wikipedia article about it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Seth_Rich

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

18. Thank you.

If I was aware of it at the time I've totally forgotten, so I appreciate the link.

[uppityperson]

32. Decopuage

[herding cats]

40. I used to love decoupage as a child.

Hi, uppity!

[L. Coyote]

3. Not even the people pushing this propaganda believe it.

But they want you to.

[treestar]

52. I agree, they believe none of it

they only intend to use it to cause political damage to their target.

[L. Coyote]

53. Precisely. Politics as warfare. Evil people.

[geek tragedy]

4. Alt-right and alt-left types. nt

[NBachers]

6. Obviously Litha Flowers believes this in a big, big way.

For whose who say "Whothefuck is Litha Flowers?"

This is the name of the most aggressive and prolific troll who immediately showed up on DU's Facebook page to spread her thick sick venom while DU was down today. Seth Rich was one of her main subjects, but she covered a wide array of right wing bullshit lies as she steamrolled poster after poster.

[Hekate]

10. Maybe her name should be Lithium Flowers

[uppityperson]

35. Or indigo dawn swallow

[nolabear]

17. Yeah, she was a piece of work. Best ignored.

[Bettie]

21. And her Facebook profile appeared to be

new and hastily thrown together.

They can't even do the work to troll effectively...at least create a persona! Jeez.

[LeftInTX]

29. I don't know if her FB exists anymore. I searched but couldn't find her

[uppityperson]

33. Crazy quilting

[revmclaren]

36. Hi litha

By....

[revmclaren]

41. You should know...

But my misspellings and mistakes are from spell check.

[revmclaren]

42. Oh Mirt...

[sheshe2]

25. OMG!

I read what she said. It made me sick.

[revmclaren]

43. And litha's new incarnation

has left the building...

[NCTraveler]

55. Reading the ignorance Litha Flowers spewed last night was painful.

I wasn't sure what to make of it.

[Lotusflower70]

7. They are out there

It's sad that they are exploiting his death like that. The family wants a retraction and an apology from Fox.

[Docreed2003]

8. Why yes my friend...yes there are

Some of whom used to be on this site. I won't link to the coked out conspiracy crap here but when the site was down this afternoon I peeked over at a site which should not be named to see if any of the blockheads there were commenting about it....and, irony of irony, a thread at the top of their General Discussion page written by a former member here now admin of that site that discussed that very issue of the Seth Rich "Conspiracy Theory". The responses were outrageous and disgusting.

[Hekate]

9. Apparently so. I asked about it on the fb page and was smacked around by some trolls...

Apparently Library Girl has a new name.

[sheshe2]

26. Was it Litha?

[Hekate]

50. Yeah, and somebody else who swore the RW CT was true

For my ignorance, I was informed by Litha that I am everything that is wrong with the Democratic Party today. I needed my smelling salts after that thrust, I tellz ya.

[sheshe2]

61. She was a real piece of work.

[dalton99a]

11. Are they paid in rubles or bitcoins?

[Corgigal]

12. I feel sorry for his family

they just want answers. They lost a young man, they don't deserve this craziness.

[floppyboo]

16. I believe it is a suspicious death.

I can't imagine all the questions I would have if it were my own son. Can anything have been so senseless? No one wants to believe that. Even if you're an atheist chaos theory person.

And so we posit theories and look for evidence to support them.

Its simple like that. No reason to get tribally nasty about it. That must also cause pain to the family.

[welivetotreadonkings]

19. I'm sure there are...

but there are others on the right who are cynically exploiting this man's murder and the irrationality of their base to distract from the real scandals brewing.

[ucrdem]

20. This was an issue at the Democratic convention.

Guess who made it an issue.

[radical noodle]

22. Far right and far left

tin foil hat folks.

[LeftyMom]

23. There are people who believe the earth is flat and that's without 24 hour flat earth channel.

[rpannier]

24. There are people who believe

that a reptilian race is really ruling the world
that the moon landing didn't occur
that almost every major technological advancement in human history was brought about by aliens
that the United Nations has a special underground unit operating out of the sewers in Detroit
that whole abandoned Walmart in Texas thingy
we are living in a Matrix-like world and are spending millions trying to unlock how to get out
that (insert race here) is inherently superior to other races
that the modern day Jews are not really the descendants of the 12 Tribes of Israel. The 12 tribes went to Europe and settled becoming the 12 Germanic tribes. (Somehow that whole monotheism thingy got forgotten)
that Obama was born in Kenya and through an exceedingly elaborate scheme altered fifty year old news articles, photos, etc to get him elected president
the pizza place in DC was a front for a ring of international pedophiles
that Alex Jones is a truth teller
that trump is going to make America great

So... why not? There's got to be enough whack jobs with computers out there for this to have life as well

[dalton99a]

27. Are you saying the Greeks were capable of building the Antikythera?

[ucrdem]

30. Paranoia strikes deep

https://www.discussionist.com/?com=view_post&forum=1015&pid=1332378

[Hamlette]

37. the new vince foster

the right is bankrupt conspiracy theorists

[LisaM]

44. It could just have been a crime.

Remember Chandra Levy and how Gary Condit's career was essentially ruined over it? Thanks to Nancy Grace.

[NanceGreggs]

45. JPR has been on this "story" ...

... since Rich's death.

According to JPR, it was the DNC/HRC who had him murdered because Rich was a whistleblower who was scheduled to "spill the beans" on both.

BTW, that was at the same time JPR were claiming that Hillary was dying of at least two dozen fatal diseases that she was hiding from the voters.

[HarmonyRockets]

46. And even

Claude Taylor, who is beloved by many on this board, has been promoting this conspiracy theory.

[MineralMan]

62. Imagine that!

[Cha]

47. I really would like to know, as

we all would.. who the hell did?

May Seth Rich RIP and closure brought to his Loved ones.

[Warren DeMontague]

49. I think there are far more who just desperately want to change the subject from the WH shitshow.

To anything.

[Thomas Hurt]

51. WTF is Seth Rich...

[DemKittyNC]

54. A lot of

trumphumpers on Twitter believe it. They won't shut the hell up about it. Trump is a traitor to the U.S. but their comeback is; but Seth Rich!

How that is related or worse than tRump turning over state secrets to a hostile country is beyond me???

[Blue_Tires]

56. Yes, I can attest to dozens of them on twitter

and some of them are the better-known voices of the left, too... But they're dudebros so they already hate Hillary with the heat of a thousand suns and will eagerly lap up any anti-Clinton agitprop Assange/Sputnik/TYT spews out...

[lunasun]

60. I encounter these types way too often . They are left Dems progs whatever

But they are anti Clinton crazy enough to think about it
The only difference is unlike the right they did not have Obama Derangement , but both types will be happy to keep this going

[lunasun]

57. Yes sad his family is not laughing . I saw a newspaper in a check out line , half the stock was gone

It said that Hillary and Huma are fleeing the country to avoid arrest on the front page. Who the hell bought all those copies that were sold ???? Of course the Rich lie sounds believable to them. Limbaugh is probably talking about his death to the zombies. Who else?
Deplorable

[NightWatcher]

58. Anthony Weiner is proof that Hillary and the DNC don't have people killed

If they did, he'd have been gone years ago.

[MFM008]

59. Before we went dark yesterday

There was a flashing thing that said
Something about that guy. Never heard of him before then.

[MineralMan]

63. The hacker may well out him/herself before long.

If I had time, I'd start looking around to see who is laughing loudest at the hacking of DU. But, I don't have time.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

64. The Clintons are ruthlessly rubbing people out again

Their bloodlust didn't stop with Vince Foster, Ron Brown, and all of those "mysterious deaths" in Arkansas. Lock 'em up!!!

[Bettie]

65. There are still people who

believe Hillary Clinton murdered Vince Foster. So yeah, probably.

It's stupid, but it is out there.
