It now goes, "Give them an inch, and they think they're a ruler!" I think this is more the case with Billy Ray Joe Bob Clinton, and his wife, Hellery.
They did this in Mass, as a trial balloon. Wait and see, Billy Ray Joe Bob will show up all over the place. How much you wanna bet he will be in a lot of polling places (besides his own) in NY? And if he is in those places in NY, I shall be in touch with the state Board of Elections!

On Wed Mar 2, 2016, 09:46 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

I changed that thing that you used there.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1280&pid=132419

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Referring to Hillary Clinton as "Hellery" is something the rightwing digital brownshirts like to do. Adopting the language of Free Republic is directly counterproductive to the goals of the left, and feeds the smear that Sanders supporters are no better than the enemy.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Mar 2, 2016, 09:50 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is the Sanders group and doesn't directly bully another DU member, which is my standard for hiding. Let it stand.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Poster needs to get a grip and take it down a notch or two.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: You should post at Di. The Cons there lap up this vile rhetoric
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Repeat after me: thick skin, thick skin, thick skin.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

People who ignore this stuff and condone it are no better than the criminal committing the crime. Win at all costs.

I remember the days when lying, cheating and stealing were shameful and people were never allowed to get away with it. Now it's being cheered on. It's disgusting.

It's good to see you, senz! It's been awhile.

Don't know if they are similarly deficient or perhaps paid (which amounts to the same thing.)

It's beginning to seem like a waste of time to even try to converse with them.

this kind of stuff has to come into the equation too.

The arrogance of just doing whatever they feel like and expecting that it will blend together with the untrue smears to be dismissed is a liability for the Clintons.

There is a petition to hold Bill accountable for this act. So far 42,896 people have signed it.

The thread for the petition was hidden a short time ago.

If Bernie's opponents are going to cheat in order to defeat him, they should be held accountable. At the very least, the wider public needs to be aware of this. It's undemocratic and we cannot allow it.

This is blatant and disingenuous. How can ANYONE support a candidate that resorts to this sort of chicanery?!?

I am so over Hi11ary. I hope Bernie's momentum continues as predicted and we don't have to hold our noses to vote for our nominee.

Someone said Hillary pulled this in 08 but couldn't find it.

Like I say, they didn't start hanging out with the Bush's because they needed a foursome for cards. They learned more about election stealing and manipulation. I believe it was attempted with Obama but his numbers were just too high to flip.
