Remember the meme that Berniebros were harassing E Warren to endorse him? Or the one where Bernie

[thereismore]

was in the bag of the NRA? Or the one where Bernie was not a real civil rights activist?

Where are they now? They served their purpose. They were totally fabricated by none other than the Clinton machine in their quest for the Presidency. Do you think Berniebros are no longer harassing E Warren? I actually think they were NEVER harassing her.

Shame on you Clintons, shame on you, for spreading lies about a good man. Karma is coming and you've got nothing left over than red-baiting. That's what you are left with.

[Punkingal]

1. The civil rights one was just for the south...they don't need that anymore.

let's look for immigrant-bashing stuff for a few days.

[TM99]

2. It already started last night

as I predicted.

She tied Sanders to support for the Militiamen. Her Brockian/Rovian smear campaign is eventually going to bite her in the ass.

[Punkingal]

4. It's so disgusting.

The look on his face when she said some of that stuff spoke volumes.

[morningfog]

8. Yep. It was part of HIllary's Southern Strategy. Her Industrial Strategy backfired.

Back to the smearing drawing board....COMMIE!

[TM99]

17. They had more time to slander Sander's

against AA's thanks to Time magazine, Jonathan Capeheart, John Lewis, and the 'let us count the number of colored folks at rallies' which started literally the day after he announced.

It was very successful. I suppose the Clinton/Brock Machine expected it to work with 'bailout' bullshit. It did not. Now we get to see if the Commie/MinuteMan/Kock Bros meme will backfire!

[Raster]

3. Welcome to the sleazoid political world of David Brock...

...doesn't matter if it's true or not - preferably not. All that matters is that it plants the seeds of doubt and despair.

[dchill]

82. I think it's a REALLY good thing...

that Brock isn't as smart as he thinks he is.

[ThePhilosopher04]

5. The memes are starting to fall on deaf ears.

Keep throwing bullshit out there and eventually people start to catch on. Desperation makes campaigns do strange and desperate things. The Clintons are a joke. And not a funny one.

[virtualobserver]

6. it makes the media cautious...they don't want to look stupid

[TM99]

18. They aren't cautious.

They are complicit. They have just been caught now and fear the financial ramifications.

[MisterP]

63. yeah, once they turned on BLM nobody took their crybulling seriously any more

they've switched to gender over race, especially with Rahm coming into focus

[Uncle Joe]

7. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, thereismore.

[thereismore]

9. I hope the way it goes down is like this: All that redbaiting about Sandinistas and Castro will

have this effect:

Bernie is a friend of Latino people.

When that happens, Hillary is toast in FL.

[beedle]

10. The new meme is

Bernie the communist. Donna Brazile was on CNN right after the debate calling Bernie "unAmerician".

It's all a ploy ... no one in their right minds will actually believe this crap, but they probably are just hoping to cause Bernie to get pissed and make some kind of "Excuse me, I'm talking" moment so they can start playing the victim card.

[mindwalker_i]

11. If the "BernieBros" even existed, they were probably Hillary operatives

Hell, she hires people to like her on facebook, why not hire people to "like" Bernie who the rest of us will dislike? Yeah, I hear people saying politics ain't bean-bad, which is just an excuse for dishonest and horrible behavior meant to mislead us.

Sleazy as hell.

[Ferd Berfel]

34. paid operatives

[mindwalker_i]

53. Yeah, leaning toward that

One could call it a comspiracy theory, but there is some past history to suggest Hillary would do this.

[Wednesdays]

87. Agents Provocateurs

[JTFrog]

12. It's not a meme. It's a real thing.

Berniebros did harrass Elizabeth Warren.

And if Karma is coming, the Republicans are seriously fucked. And with Clinton's life long service and dedication to our country and to women and children everywhere, be careful what you wish for. Her Karma is going to put her in the white house.

[mariawr]

13. False flag "BernieBros". I put nothing past Brock and co. nt

[GoneFishin]

48. Yep. False flags. One question goes right to the heart of all of these paid to plant memes :

Who benefits by maligning Bernie's reputation? His supporters or Hillary's Dirty Tricks Squad?

I never understood how anyone could buy any of the bullshit that was being peddled by her paid shills.

[bvar22]

14. How are those women and children doing in Libya?

Iraq?

Honduras?

...or do those hundreds of thousands of innocent women & children not count?

[avaistheone1]

78. .snap

[SheenaR]

16. Lifelong service to women and children everywhere?

If it were up to Karma, she would not be going to the WH... TOS does not allow me to indicate where she would go or would be going.

[WillyT]

60. Thanks WillyT n/t

[840high]

80. Thank you Willy.

[pa28]

20. Some rude internet peeps harassed Elizabeth Warren. That's it.

"Berniebros" are a fictional stereotype conceived as a tool to belittle and marginalize all Bernie supporters.

[bravenak]

32. Yep

[Doctor_J]

39. You mean by Ending Welfare As We Know It?

And incarcerating millions of fathers? And supporting all of those wars around the world?

I want one of those gizmos that keeps all inconvenient information away. How much did you pay for yours?

[Warren DeMontague]

40. yeah, it's "real". It's a real meme, a real talking point.

"berniebros" are exactly as real as 2008's "obama boys"

http://www.salon.com/2008/04/14/obama_supporters/

[merrily]

44. First, you may want to look up the definition of meme.

Second, you have no clue who harassed Elizabeth Warren. No one does.



Third, this is so obviously a top down, coordinated effort, it isn't funny. Get a clue.

http://jackpineradicals.org/showthread.php?3326-IGNORANT-Bernie-Bros-must-END-their-name-calling!!! (Third Way Manny satire)

[noiretextatique]

64. How do you know they were Bernie supporters?

Because the Clinton campaign told you so? If the accusation was against Clinton supporters, it would be a vast rw conspiracy

[vintx]

81. It was all a lie. You got played.

[polly7]

85. Women and children 'everywhere'?? You're kidding, right? nt.

[Coincidence]

15. Super PAC funded astroturfing is one of the Clinton campaigns most repulsive strategies.

When she lies or misrepresents something herself at least we know who said it, and it can be fact checked and eventually she may even be called out on it. With an online horde of anonymous astroturfers from all over the world it's nearly impossible to ever know who they are, what their motivations are, or if they have an agenda and who hired them.

In the end I think and hope they don't really have much influence, and for the most part only succeed in frustrating Bernie supporters by engaging in dead end arguments patched together entirely from campaign talking points and debunked smears.

[NCTraveler]

19. No clue about "Bernie Bros."

Not as big on that term as you seem to be.

There is no doubt that Sanders supporters have been harassing EW.

[Lucinda]

22. And they still are, on FB anyway. Not sure if she is having to deal with

phone and email harassment too.

[Lucinda]

21. Both her Senate and personal Face Book pages are still getting hit. n/t

[stupidicus]

23. there's never been any doubt in the HC-supporters mind regarding where those tongue lashings came

from

but then, many/most of them care more about things like that than the integrity of their candidate.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/03/10/5-times-hillary-clinton-has-played-fast-and-loose-with-the-facts-on-bernie-sanderss-record/

[litlbilly]

24. The Hill group is in full on Bernie hate today. Its just amazing. I notice the worse Hillary does

in debates, and last night was the worst ever, the harder they hit the next day with all the "Bernie supporters are so mean and nasty" and stuff like that. Almost amusing at this point.

[litlbilly]

25. the new one I noticed, we're all fake liberals, I thought that one was funny indeed

[thereismore]

26. I wouldn't know. I have them all on ignore. Saves the aggravation. I come here for news

and informed opinion. They provide neither.

[MissDeeds]

30. Well said

K&R

[HillareeeHillaraah]

31. This group of Bernie supporters gives the impression

Of being a little kinda paranoid.

I really hope that's not the case.

I read all the Facebook posting deriding Warren for not endorsing. SOMEbody wrote them. And they all claimed allegiance to Sanders.

Agree to disagree.

((Y'know the list of persons and organizations that Bernie supporters no longer trust is getting really long....just saying...gonna be hard to form any kind of a coalition if he did get elected))

[Dont call me Shirley]

33. Many people are done with lying, cheating, thieving, dirty-handed politics. Bernie's popularity is

BIG proof if that!

[Jitter65]

35. Yet another unsubstantiated allegation against the Clinton campaign that expands to smearing

Hillary. really shameful.

[TIME TO PANIC]

36. K & R!

[Warren DeMontague]

37. Someone here asserted that people urging Warren to run was "a classic example of rape culture"

.....

to quote the great Ren Hoek; "Wax paper. Boiled football leather. Dog breath. We're not hitchhiking anymore. We're riding!"

[kcr]

46. Oh, really?

I heard a Bernie supporter assert that Women should get back in the kitchen! OMGWTELFKTF! Can you believe that! Seriously!

I heard there's a magazine hitting the stands soon. Can't quite remember, which one is it?

[Warren DeMontague]

54. Yeah, did they say it on DU?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1370265

Viewed in that context, the non-consensual nightmares some of us subjected Al Gore to in 2008 are simply staggering to comprehend.

Also, if you're talking about the SI Swimsuit issue (again), you should know- since it's so important to you- that it came out already.


And people weren't even able to stop it. Again.

OUTRAGEEEEE, amirite?

[kcr]

56. Oh, you mean you've never brought up the swimsuit issue more than once yourself?

That must have been my imagination. I could have sworn that topic had been brought up more than once and your name had popped up a few times. Oops.

Anyway, it seems like they just meant that Elizabeth Warren was being harassed. You know, I don't think they meant being raped literally.

Things happen outside of DU. I know! Hard to believe. Crazy, right? It's so fun that you get caught up in this nutty place.

[Warren DeMontague]

57. I dont know, i tend to think people mean what they say.

If "rape culture" as a concept is to be treated with the seriousness that the issue of rape deserves, one would think that applying it to something like pressure on a prominent senator to run for president would be counterproductive.

But what do I know, it's not like I'm "the smartest person on the internet".

I'm really not sure why you keep bringing it up randomly, but if you are really interested in the sports illustrated swimsuit issue, you can view it here.


http://www.si.com/swimsuit

[kcr]

58. I'm not worried

Why would everyone magically stop caring just because word usage isn't 100% correct all the time by everyone. I think the only people who worry about that sort of thing are the ones who are skeptical of it in the first place. That's usually because they don't understand what the concept means.

That's okay, I've already seen it. SI has been coming to my house for years.

[Warren DeMontague]

59. "I've come to figure all importance, overestimated"

[noiretextatique]

65. Classic example of a vast rw conspiracy

I have no doubt some Bernie supporters contacted her. I also have no doubt that not all of them were Bernie supporters.

[yardwork]

38. Oh FFS. /eom

[Warren DeMontague]

41. They've wanted to talk about Sanders' supporters because they cant compete on the issues.

it's pretty transparent.

[SoapBox]

42. No...More...Clintons..EVER!

30+ years of Clinton baggage.

I'm over it.

[amborin]

43. all of those are from that source, inlcuding

the one the other day, right before MI about the AA mothers of slain kids blasting bernie over some issue.....remember that?

remember about a month ago it was revealed that they were going to be getting a daily blast from the honchos? so they could work on online presence?

that's where the daily memes originate

[thereismore]

47. Clintons fight dirty. Enough! nt

[appalachiablue]

45. K & R Appreciate the reality check. Courage, conviction and truth are Bernie's champions.

[Agschmid]

49. Check out her Facebook page, they are still going at it...

Some as recently as today...

[questionseverything]

61. nothing there is disrespectful at all

is it now wrong to even try and influence politicians?

thanks much for the link tho....glad to see charnin's work hitting the net

[Agschmid]

62. I didn't say anything was disrespectful, I just showed that its ongoing.

[delrem]

68. What do you think is gained by your lie?

You reply to a question: "Remember the meme that Berniebros were harassing E Warren to endorse him?" by asserting that "it's still going on", obviously meaning that "Berniebros" are still "harassing" Elizabeth Warren. The evidence you post for your lie? a screencapture of 4 posts to Warren's facebook page where 3 WOMEN and 1 MAN urge Warren to endorse Sanders. This, you claim, is "Berniebros" nefarious "harrassment".

So what exactly do you think you or your candidate gain from this bottom-feeding?

p.s., I thought you were better than this.

[Agschmid]

69. One is clearly writing in all caps aka "Internet Screaming".

Have you been to the Facebook page lately? Do you know what post they are responding to?

Thanks for the personal attack.

[delrem]

71. oh ffs! The dastardly sentence included a spelling error too!

Obviously that also proves that she's a "Berniebro" "harrassing" Elizabeth.


So, what do you gain by this?

[Agschmid]

72. What do any of us gain from posting to anonymous discussion board?

[delrem]

74. I asked you what YOU gain from posting such crap.

What do you think Hillary Clinton's campaign gains from Brock's sleazy "Berniebro" meme? Attacking "Bernie supporters" rather than focussing on candidates and issues.

What do you think the upshot will be after the entire sector of the *democratic party* is ratfucked or swiftboated or whatever such tactics are called in that matter by your candidate's BrockPAC? I mean jeez, Agschmid, at least the R's use those kind of tactics on D's, they didn't swiftboat their own political base!

[Agschmid]

75. ...

My point has been made.

See you around DU.

[delrem]

76. I guess it was the all caps that proved your "point" about "Berniebros". /nt

[Roland99]

50. Had a Hillary campaign shill trying to push the Bernie Bros meme on a Facebook article the other day

the person was so freakin' transparent in their efforts.

ridiculous.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

51. I can only robotically say you are correct, sir!

Otherwise, I would lose it completely and laugh my ass off!!

[ConsiderThis_2016]

52. It's a David Brock thing.

From Hillary's paper... Book Author Says He Lied in His Attacks on Anita Hill in Bid to Aid Justice Thomas http://www.nytimes.com/2001/06/27/us/book-author-says-he-lied-his-attacks-anita-hill-bid-aid-justice-thomas.html

[beedle]

66. Note that Bernie's criticisms of Hillary

are all consistent throughout the campaign.

He doesn't make up new ones to suit the 'political situation of the state'.

Sure, accuse him of having 'one issue' (another lie, but that's for a different thread,) but at least his 'one issue' is real ... not lies made up on the fly to serve a short term political purpose.

[thereismore]

67. Good catch! You are so right. Integrity. nt

[UglyGreed]

70. Rachel Maddow

tried to get Elizabeth Warren to condemn the so called "BernieBros" last night and she did not take the bait. Warren instead mentioned all the concerns which Bernie Sanders brought to light in the Primaries but did not mention his name.

[thereismore]

73. Great to know... I no longer watch MSM. nt

[blm]

77. More likely GOP operatives posing as Bernie supporters. That's what they DO.

Interesting to me that both HRC supporters and Sanders supporters are so eager to blame each other for what some of us older DUers recognize as clearcut cases of ratfvcking now being heavily funded by GOP strategists.

[iandhr]

79. Tinfoil hat

They're the same people who attacked Planned Parenthood. These are the same people who attacked NARAL.


These are the same racists who used terms like "master slave relationship and Stockholm Syndrome and attaked John Lewis


I have always been a fan of Berine. But I am tired of his supporters pretending that he is holier then thou.

[dchill]

83. There must be a thing called "The little boy who cried 'wolf' syndrome."

Sooner or later, everyone just assumes everything you say is bullshit.

[NurseJackie]

84. Ha! :-D

(Parody, right? The "shame on you" admonition gave it away.) :-D Well done!

[Chicago1980]

86. And the proof it where?

Accusations and assumptions.

Pathetic.

88. Bye now. nt

to win over the Bernie Bros if she wins the nomination - and win over all those women who were told they were going straight to hell because they supported Bernie Sanders?
