Your link takes me to a screen that says "Your alert was sent".

Are you angry because he deleted before the jury came back? This is mean and petty, he didn't know it was a hoax.

Sorry for my intrusion into this group, saw it on the latest and didn't realize it wasn't GDP.

I'll be on my way now, carry on.

Frankly I had no idea what clone zone was either. The site looked real.

If Liz endorsed that would be big news. But I really do not think she is going to do anything of the sort.

Best to let this one go rather than making a big deal about it. People make mistakes and it was corrected pretty damned quickly by the OPer.

that atmosphere where rw sources have been left to stand..

And, as JTFrog said..

That poster might have been given the benefit of the doubt if they weren't already
on record refusing to delete previously misleading OP's. If you have been bashing and trashing one of our candidates with right wing and other questionable sources, people aren't going to give you the benefit of the doubt or take you seriously

I thought it showcased their attitude pretty well, Warren is currently teetering on the curb,
ready to be pushed under the bus...then suddenly, she's the greatest, "get her as VP
Bernie"...then she's back on the curb waiting for cold, political hands of the BS crowd to
push her into traffic.

Massively transparent.
Hey, have we pushed any people who went with Sanders under our bus yet? (Other than
trolls?)

As Clinton said at one of the town halls, "...Whether you end up supporting me or not, I will
support you..."

Edit: Good on the poster self-deleting.

I can't fault him for his excitement--it would have been a huge deal for Massachusetts tomorrow.

Honestly, I think this thread should be laid to rest.

I did edit the post but took my time after being attacked once again....... JTfrog has attacked me many many times over and over. Right wing labeling does not make someone right wing. So now you may ban me from your forum.......

Common Dreams did not update the article so I removed the content of this post. I would done this earlier but I will not stand to be bullied into doing anything. If I was told in respectful manner that the article was wrong I would of wasted no time in removing it. I may be a cripple but I am no pushover and will not stand being abused by anyone at anytime.

Let me add Skinner himself made a mistake with the Bernie Sanders Photo-gate............ Not saying I dare to compare myself to a Yale Graduate but this former carpenter admits he has hit his thumb every now again.....es and I not stand to be slandered or attacked.
