These are screenshots of Svitavskys Facebook posts before he scrubbed it Arazi Jul 2017 #37
Who edited them or grabbed them? They seem R B Garr Jul 2017 #38

So smoking pot is now a bad thing? R B Garr Jul 2017 #57
His Facebook timeline page goes on forever. yallerdawg Jul 2017 #64
This guy was unknown up until about a week or two ago. Why would anyone bother... George II Jul 2017 #116
I'll l bet it took a whole hour to put his public postings together. Must be the Russians. Hassin Bin Sober Jul 2017 #119
But they were "screen shots" of posts that were deleted. When did he delete them? George II Jul 2017 #120
Half an hour too late? Hassin Bin Sober Jul 2017 #121
Apparently someone was interested in this guy before the world knew who he was. George II Jul 2017 #122

No, the posts weren't deleted Lordquinton Jul 2017 #395

Exactly! And the silly game of isolating one word (TRIED, omg) from someone's post and then R B Garr Jul 2017 #299
Disgusting shit to be sure... how some can dismiss it is beyond me. InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2017 #504
If they won't believe direct links to his Facebook page I wonder how they'll try to dismiss this Rob H. Jul 2017 #506
Hilarious. If I posted that same article, my post would be alerted R B Garr Jul 2017 #508

He actually just admitted to using those racial slurs? beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #509
Yep, and there are people still willing to defend him Rob H. Jul 2017 #512

Nope, even including the other thread you're still the leader Rob H. Jul 2017 #523
That thread was up all weekend. Why did you switch back R B Garr Jul 2017 #525
Because I was replying to InAbLuEsTaTe's post here Rob H. Jul 2017 #526
Two posters switched here after no response on the other thread. R B Garr Jul 2017 #527
WHY ARE YOU POSTING IN THIS THREAD, ROB? I DEMAND AN EXPLANATION! beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #528
I know, I'm a terrible person Rob H. Jul 2017 #529
How DARE you point out the obvious and criticize a candidate who uses bigoted slurs? beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #530
We're through the looking glass, apparently Rob H. Jul 2017 #532
That's the end of the debate: Svitavsky ADMITTED TO POSTING THOSE SLURS beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #533
Here's hoping sensible people will start walking away from the guy Rob H. Jul 2017 #535
I'm sure a few will still think this is all HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #536
They will also try to change the subject by talking about Bernie. BUT BERNIE THIS AND THAT... beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #539
Still no condemnation of Svitavsky's admitted racism, though Rob H. Jul 2017 #542
It is, isn't it? Now that he's admitted to using racist slurs... crickets beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #543
Who would have expected him to be exactly the person he's shown himself to be? Rob H. Jul 2017 #545

Vermont didn't run from Bernie even after his degrading college writings R B Garr Jul 2017 #538
why did you switch back to this thread?? R B Garr Jul 2017 #524
So the claim is that because the article is three days old it's irrelevant? beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #520
so...the Burlington Free Press printed this in relation to Bernie: R B Garr Jul 2017 #511
STOP DOXXXXXING HIM BY POSTING ARTICLES AND FACTZ. No DOX PARTY for you! beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #537
Aw, I get left out of the best parties Rob H. Jul 2017 #540
Any idea why the Burlington Free Press didn't jump on the smear bandwagon? R B Garr Jul 2017 #547
The man behind the one-man operation backing him is a real winner, too Rob H. Jul 2017 #507
Yikes. No wonder he wouldn't agree to an interview. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #510
People keep using that word Rob H. Jul 2017 #513

One more time. yallerdawg Jul 2017 #243
So you still support a Dem who uses racial and homophic slurs because he's NOT Bernie. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #247
Well then you should definitely use some racial slurs against African American republicans on DU. Hassin Bin Sober Jul 2017 #240
Mind-boggling, isn't it? beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #241
A Facebook post years ago could be disqualifying? yallerdawg Jul 2017 #248
Years ago? He used a transphobic slur just last year. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #249
From posts like this? yallerdawg Jul 2017 #250

Thanks! Yes, that explains a lot. None of the links maligning him so far have appeared R B Garr Jul 2017 #310
Not reading seems to be root of the bigotry here. Ninsianna Jul 2017 #315
