BERNGHAZI!!!!!!!!!!!!1

We all know that Benghazi was a farce. That anyone who talked about Benghazi as a scandal for Clinton to have to deal with was brainwashed and had to be a right winger or simply nuts.

Well, anyone still using old and tired talking points trying to claim Bernie is "anti-PoC", you know, racist, is no better than Trump supporters or Tea Partiers. They are just like a "Birther". They are basically crying 'Benghazi' or 'birth certificate'.

Bernie has fought for civil rights for decades. I know, I'm not supposed to say that for some reason, but since some Hillary supporters insist on saying he is "anti-PoC" to this day it is important to keep bringing it up.

His record shows he is not "anti-PoC" so if you have any doubts about it just go look it up and help stop the smearmongering. If Bernie was so "anti-PoC" then why would so many in the black and latino/hispanic community be joining in supporting him?

Anyone, be it in the MSM, on social media or on DU, who continues to try to paint Sanders as a racist is stating a flat out LIE which, imo, can only be said by someone who is truly in a bubble of hate, just like Trump supporters and the Tea Party members are.

So if you hear it somewhere where you can respond, like on social media or DU for example, whether you are a Hillary or a Bernie supporter, please tell the person that it's akin to bringing up Benghazi or birth certificates as we all do when those things are brought up, regardless of who we support or are critical of.

Let's not act like Trump supporters, everyone on here should be better than that.

they have all these TPs on a queue like a repeating playlist.

They'll run through 20 or so then the jukebox queues back to #1.

Or perhaps they're set to random play.

How precious.

I guess if that's all ya got.........................

Oops, gotta go.

Today someone said Bernie has all these "anti-PoC votes" and of course, when people called them on it there was no evidence posted to back up the old and tired talking point. And of course they lumped in his supporters with this insult.

I think you are right! Random play, shuffle, something like that. When one isn't working try another even if it never worked before. But this racist thing is vile. It needs to stop. Even though it completely discredits the person using it, it's smearmongering and should not happen at all, just like we don't bring up Benghazi against Hillary and will tell anyone who does that it's a farce. I don't understand all the complaints about Bernie supporters when we don't stand for Trumpisms/Teabaggerisms if they are against Hillary and yet there are Hillary supporters who perpetuate those as long as they are against Bernie.

I guess if character assassination is what they have to resort to we're in great shape! But still, it needs to stop.

I hope everyone heeds the message. I know I have to defend Hillary from time to time, I certainly hope Hillary supporters can do the same back.
