1.He wrote the essays. That is a fact

2. Fact.

Our ruling
Clinton said that in 2006, Bernie Sanders "voted in the House with hard-line Republicans for indefinite detention for undocumented immigrants, and then he sided with those Republicans to stand with vigilantes known as Minutemen who were taking up outposts along the border to hunt down immigrants."

https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-graham/2016/03/10/fact-checkers-side-hillary-sanders-stood-minutemen-hunt-down[div class=




3.He voted against Amber alert. That is a fact.


…………………..

Crass way to do it. However he, Mr. Weeks, has a right to free speech. You say it is lies and frankly it is not. It is his record.

9. Mr Weeks is a notorious Twitter troll
Sun Aug 25, 2019, 05:07 PM

He has been banned many times. He has been deemed too toxic even for Twitter.

He is tight with the Center for American Progress head Neera Tanden. Mr. Weeks was criticized for making favorable comments about Adolf Hitler on his Twitter account.

Many Progressives are "tight", i.e., agree with the ideology, of Neera Tanden. There is nothing wrong with that.

Visit their page
Be following them
Or follow pages that retweet them

Wed Aug 28, 2019, 06:16 AM
Aug 2019

This asshole is a raging anti-Semite and a POS, NOT a good ally to have at all





read the replies, it is obviously that tweet




the r/Judaism Reddit confirms it

https://www.reddit.com/r/Judaism/comments/awq5tn/mr_weeks_guy_who_called_bernie_sanders_a_fucking/



a Google search captured caches of it as well



here is the link to that bottom tweet in the snapshot right above where he doubles down







here is the exchange where Neera Tanden wished him a happy birthday

with the actual tweet proving it

the comments show that this is the same Jew-baiter putting out all this other stuff





I searched public records and that is indeed his birthday

he makes no attempts to remain anonymous

all his addresses and time frames match perfectly and mesh completely with all the myriad info he himself has published in numerous public posts


BUT

I will NOT publish his address, phone etc, that is not necessary and is stooping to people like this rotter's level, including trolls of all stripes




here is one of his multiple Hitler tweets


(again read the comments, you see it is the one in the screenshot here:






He has yet to be banned on Facebook or Instagram

His FB has a shit tonne of pics of him, and references much of the same shit, so again this IS the same guy

https://www.facebook.com/danec.weeks






strange post by him on FB as he appears to be challenging the other poster (the other poster calls the Hillary 'rigged the primaries' a lie)

(and if not, if I am misreading his response, THEN he (Mr Weeks) now smearing Warren too, calling her anti-Obama via a smear campaign, that Warren is dismissive of Russian collusion, and that Warren called Hillary corrupt)





This guy is serious trouble, you know I am NO Sanders fangirl AT ALL, I think he would be an electoral disaster

but no way in fucking hell will I push this antisemitic POS's rot, his posts are racist and offensive as fuck

That stuff is very embarrassing to say the least. At a minimum it would show a stunning ignorance of basic biology and quite a few ideas that are not acceptable even in modern American society. His actual voting record and public statements on guns is quite damning as well. The press has been extremely kind to Sanders. If he were the nominee they wouldn't be nearby so kind.

1) If Bernie is the nominee we're going to have to rally around him. This just does the republican's work for them.

2) The whole concept of mobile billboards is dangerous. What if somebody puts a bunch of lies out and attributes it to our candidates?

I posted the question here and not one person has responded to said lies.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1287&pid=254309

69. What part is a lie?

1.He wrote the essays. That is a fact

2. Fact.

Our ruling
Clinton said that in 2006, Bernie Sanders "voted in the House with hard-line Republicans for indefinite detention for undocumented immigrants, and then he sided with those Republicans to stand with vigilantes known as Minutemen who were taking up outposts along the border to hunt down immigrants."

https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-graham/2016/03/10/fact-checkers-side-hillary-sanders-stood-minutemen-hunt-down[div class=




3.He voted against Amber alert. That is a fact.


…………………..

Crass way to do it. However he, Mr. Weeks, has a right to free speech. You say it is lies and frankly it is not. It is his record.

…………………………………

Which one or all is a lie?. Answer: Not one.

Throughout this Mr. Weeks' disgusting bigotry has been dismissed and/or ignored.

People talking about it are (ridiculously) accused of attacking the messenger.

So the question is..is the "messenger" always irrelevant? Is any and every "messenger" acceptable as long as you like the message?

Wouldn't be that hard either. You could still hate Bernie and believe all the stuff on the truck and everything else.


You could just say "yeah, I hate Bernie and everything but I'll admit it's not okay to call someone a 'fake fucking Jew,' and it's not okay to use slurs like tranny and shemale. These things are not okay."


But you wouldn't do it. And that's the sad truth. So keep on doing this routine here all you like but it will not change that.

if BS gets the nomination ... and he will be buried in his essays and other deeds. That is the biggest fear in supporting BS.

Democrats have treated BS with kid gloves and not gone "there" so he has skated ... Republicans will be brutal if BS gets the nomination. On top of that they also will have red-baiting and other weapons.

BS is better off remaining a Senator.

155. I'd use him for libel.


Truth is an absolute affirmative defense against a lawsuit involving libel and slander. It would be impossible to prove that anything on that billboard is false and furthermore, a willful act.

Public figures always have a hard time proving libel and slander because they are well-known and thus subject to a first amendment criticism. This is even more true about persons running for an election.

So BS can knock himself out and sue -- it will just give far more publicity to that billboard.

I have been waiting a week -- no one has refuted anything on that billboard.
