(53,032 posts)A journalist, I guess. He writes on a website anyway. That was my point to you earlier.
He also repeated the POSUCS attack within the last 4-6 weeks.
What do you think would happen if someone called Bernie something like that? I can tell you the post would be hidden the the person would NEVER hear the end of it. You all laugh at support for Obama, but it doesn't approach the kind of politics of personality surrounding Sanders. You will recall that people here called Black Lives Matter a Koch brothers plot. That is now hostile they are to anything that they perceive as critical to Sanders. I say perceive because that demonstration at Netroots was not about Sanders. it was about black lives and ensuring all politicians know that they are expected to do something about the problem. That movement and those lives were all thrown under the bus because some decided that great Bernie Sanders was too important to have to be confronted by protesters.
So you complain about people objecting to pointless name calling of a president, when just recently some of the most egregious behavior has gone on--ostensibly in order to promote Sanders but in reality doing significant damage to his campaign and more importantly relations between white progressives and black activists.
