KKK Leader endorses Hillary because he thinks she's a secret conservative

[elljay]

I would not suggest that Hillary supports the KKK; to the contrary. However, had the KKK leader endorsed Sanders, who thinks that Hillary would attempt to link Bernie to the Klan, as she tried with the Koch Brothers? I sure do.

1. Oh my, it's another "Hillary is/is like Hitler" post

[Lizzie Poppet]

4. Hitler was consistent.

Consistently wrong and evil...but he certainly wasn't a weathervane.

[LanternWaste]

9. An accurate statement

An accurate statement, as Hitler didn't begin in the German Farmer's Party and only later adopt the NAZI party far into the game simply as a means of achieving his goals.

10. No, he started his own party.

Is that really what you'd have preferred Bernie do? That would hand the election to the orcs, something Bernie realized. Seeing if he could win the Democratic nod was the best way to carry on the effort to stop the country's disastrous lurch to the right and to prevent a center-right Dem candidate from being nominated. It was the right thing to do, at least from a progressive viewpoint.

14. Killing 20,000,000 people is/is not worse than being inconsistent?/nt

5. Do you read before you post? n/t

2. I had to check that, just to make sure it wasn't from The Onion.

6. Who could ever tell in this election? n/t

[Dem2]

3. He's brilliant!

Or not...

Not only is it a stupid position, but an expert on hate groups said the Klan leader cannot be trusted.

Huh, whodathunk?

7. Where's the "secret" part?

As far as Democrats go I've always considered the Clintons conservative.

8. This endorsement is a ploy but

It does offset those Bernie is a secret NRA plant posts.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

It Is Against The Statement Of Purpose & Is Wrong On So Many Levels In Any Way, Shape, Or Form To Link A Candidate For The Democratic Nomination To Such A Gruesome Disgusting Group.

Your Statement Is A Complete Lie The KKK Has Endorsed Donald Trump...

Please Vote To Lock This Post, Whether You Are Voting For Sanders Or Against Clinton We Are All Democrats & We Should Not Be Allowing Such A Disparaging Lie To Circulate On This Forum, The High Road May Be Harder But It Leads To A Better Place.

Fear mongering & Blatant Lies Is A Republican Tactic. If This Post Stays It Will Now Be A DU Tactic.

BTW I Don't Think The KKK Would Endorse A Female Democratic Candidate That Has Won The South By 40 Points Largely Due To African American & Minority Voters....

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Mar 15, 2016, 01:44 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: On the basis of seeing this story on the MSM, I believe it is true the person changed from Trump to HRC endorsement. As actual news it's not false or over the top, but we can all condemn the swift boating aspect of such a cynical ploy by the KKK leader
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: WTF?
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: The OP's narrative is so over the top, even for this place. FFS!
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter, you argue that "your statement is a complete lie". That is incorrect. The article states that a KKK leader did indeed endorse Hillary. Huff is a reputable source. If you meant to write that the KKK creep's assertion that Hillary is a secret conservative, perhaps you should have stated your position more clearly. Even if you had, I see no reason to hide this post. The OP is not claiming that Hillary is a secret conservative.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The fact that the alert is so long-winded is irrelevant to the simple fact that it is nonsense-- don't like the post, argue it out ion the thread.
(And why are all my juries from GD-P?)

12. I guess reading comprehension is not the strong suit for certain people

who not only didn't understand the posting, but ignored the sentence:

"I would not suggest that Hillary supports the KKK; to the contrary."

The whole point was very obviously NOT to say that Hillary supports the KKK, but to question what she and her supporters would do if the story involved Bernie. I do believe we know the answer.

16. Thin-skinned and long-winded are a sucky combination for an alerter :) n/t

17. Ha ha! I thought that was funny too.

I was #4.

[Hortensis]

13. LOL. Classic sociopathic behavior.

What a creep. Someone like this doesn't care about elections. It's all about manipulating those he despises, which is everyone. Actually he and Trump probably are different manifestations of cluster B personality dysfunctions.

[ljm2002]

15. You are correct, had it gone the other way...

...and the creep had endorsed Bernie, Hillary supporters would be all over it.

But I would not do that. She has no control over this endorsement, and who knows what the real motives for the endorsement were.

[dinkytron]

18. Funny, just today, I said I didn't know why Trumpers didn't appreciate her hawkishness a bit more.
