(62,325 posts)characters go after Bernie with their dirty politics, they are in for a shock I believe. I have never seen such devoted supporters who will act the minute these smears go out.
And we should not stop there, correcting the information, make them feel a backlash that will make them think twice about lying about someone as decent as he is.
Boycotts, EXPOSURE of who they are, all of them relentlessly.
AND maybe a fund drive so that Bernie's campaign PROFITS every time they do something to try to destroy his campaign.
Because when they do it to him, they do it to all of us.
NPR needs to make a general and heartfelt apology on every one of their stations, AND on their website.
This apology is not enough.
They should also be required to do several shows about DIRTY POLITICS and bring on guests who have knowledge of how these smear campaigns work.
And they should do it weekly if possible.
So that people LEARN to be careful about believing ANYTHING that takes the form of a personal attack with little to back it up.
Maybe something good can come of this.
