But sure, no call out of Bernie's supporters for anything, no matter how asinine, could possibly be considered rude at DU. At DU, it's merely de rigueur to call out Bernie Supporters. I mean, good gosh, who could possibly consider a call out of Bernie supporters rude?

All crap, all the time. Misinformation, distraction, false witness, assimilation of right wing ideology thankfully minus the southern strategy, though when push comes to shove they will go there too. See the Clinton dogwhistle in 2008 and other DINO's jumping in with both feet to destroy ACORN.

And as an O'Malley supporter I wish that weren't so, but that is actually what has happened.

is meh, I recommended the two by the Sanders supporters and the other one is about polls and seems to be by a person who is just sick of the arguing. So yeah five OP titles with CAPS is a bit much. But interestingly enough I only see one in ALL CAPS in support of Sanders which must be a real bother.

You raise an interesting point BN. I will say that the O'Malley supporters here have turned me on to him. His supporters I've seen here at DU I like a lot. Very intelligent, very liberal and very thoughtful. I can't think of a better way to represent a candidate. Because of reading their posts here I have looked at his proposals and really will consider voting for him in the primary in my State if he's still in the race.
