His Facebook page is full of posts about Cookie Jam so I used the search function.

This guy has issues. And not just his issues with transgender people and black conservatives, his posts about Bernie are unhinged. He actually sounds delusional. I don't think anyone credible would seriously support this guy's candidacy, this man's hatred of Bernie is deeply disturbing and appears to be the only issue he's running on. He sounds more like a Twitter troll than a candidate for the Senate.

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

And an accurate Magic Eight Ball. LanternWaste Jul 2017 #139
A Magic Eight Ball? I wasn't aware you could use those to find posts on Facebook. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #217
Or not. His posts are still up, George. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #216
It's not a "theory", see post #37, take it up with Arazi. George II Jul 2017 #221
So to recap: his posts are still there and no one used the Tardis to retrieve them. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #223
Nothing to clear up from my standpoint. George II Jul 2017 #253
Well, that puts the nail in any debate here Lordquinton Jul 2017 #362
Yep. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #364
If only all this energy was directed against Republican opponents Lordquinton Jul 2017 #366
Right? beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #372
Ah, so an instagram troll account discovered by another poster, now R B Garr Jul 2017 #377
No, the posts weren't deleted Lordquinton Jul 2017 #395
They are spammed all over this thread. R B Garr Jul 2017 #401
Now they're claiming the links can't be found, I just checked and they all still work for me. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #412
Jon Svitavsky's bigoted posts are still up on facebook, it only took a minute to find them. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #202
Thanks BMUS. I took DKos' word that they'd been scrubbed Arazi Jul 2017 #256

Plus he can't spell. thecrow Jul 2017 #282

Yet Bernie understands the importance of getting a message out since R B Garr Jul 2017 #287
If only the energy was directed toward right wing republican candidates. George II Jul 2017 #290
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
I see that some are now "parsing words" and coming up with their own definition of "doxing". George II Jul 2017 #531
I noticed that, too. It's a big dox party. R B Garr Jul 2017 #534
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
Pointing out the malicious efforts to malign him isn't "defending" him. R B Garr Jul 2017 #514
Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better nt Rob H. Jul 2017 #515
You are the one with the obsession about this person, so R B Garr Jul 2017 #516
LOL you've posted more in this thread than I have Rob H. Jul 2017 #518
It's not like this was the only thread. R B Garr Jul 2017 #521
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
"We don't know for sure that he said that, do we?" was the response last weekend. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #546
Did someone say OBSESSION ? Dance party! beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #544
Yet the Vermont newspaper published from 3 days ago R B Garr Jul 2017 #541
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
Someone edited the definition of the word 'dox' to exclude the word "private" beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #517

I don't consider calling out bigotry "personal destruction". Of course ymmv. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #227

I appreciate you coming to the defense of Ms. Rice... yallerdawg Jul 2017 #238
Lol! Nice try but anyone can simply click the link and read the racial slur for themselves. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #239
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
Wait, are you *actually* going to ignore the fact that your candidate used those slurs recently? beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #251
I haven't researched your "facts." yallerdawg Jul 2017 #252
You don't need to, those are his posts and no amount of denial is going to make them go away. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #254
I don't. yallerdawg Jul 2017 #245
That link looks odd. His timeline (from searching his name on FB) Ninsianna Jul 2017 #293
You can characterize pointing out his bigotry as "attacking" him all you like beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #294
Ah, but I did not. I characterized the petty attacks as attacks. Ninsianna Jul 2017 #300
Tl;dr beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #301
That's hilarious. I doubt the press will put this much effort into reporting on bogus R B Garr Jul 2017 #303
Facebook posts are fake news? Now that IS hilarious! beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #304
Ah, I've seen this tactic before, and a lot of it involves cherry picking or R B Garr Jul 2017 #306
Those links look mighty suspicious, they certainly don't look like Facebook pages.... George II Jul 2017 #309
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
NOTICE TO EVERYONE SAYING THAT LINK LOOKS FAKE Rob H. Jul 2017 #350
lol, "Contents not found' R B Garr Jul 2017 #351
IF YOU POST A NOTICE ALL CAPS, THAT MAKES IT TRUE. lapucelle Jul 2017 #353
YES, must be! '"CONTENTS NOT FOUND" R B Garr Jul 2017 #356
I've found that when debunking easily-disprovable bullshit Rob H. Jul 2017 #392
Even after multiple people successfully viewed the links they're still focused on your use of caps. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #459
I'm okay with that Rob H. Jul 2017 #467
Right, just because it doesn't work for you Rob H. Jul 2017 #390
Actually, the info is on JPR about where it came from. R B Garr Jul 2017 #475
Maybe it's all just a remarkable coincidence. lapucelle Jul 2017 #479
Exactly, it was so obvious from the twitter feed and then the few, sparse R B Garr Jul 2017 #481

Whatever it is you're talking about there melman Jul 2017 #480
"dox" to search for and publish, typically with malicious intent. R B Garr Jul 2017 #483
Indeed. Seems some people think vetting a candidate is the same thing as doxxing them beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #488
It's odd that people keep ignoring Raw Story's article about Svitavsky's transphobic slur. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #476
The level of denial it must take to reject what's plain as day is astonishing Rob H. Jul 2017 #482

And of course "No One" in the group's community lapucelle Jul 2017 #393
Exactly, they are so obvious. Looks like some troll forgot to hide this remnant-- R B Garr Jul 2017 #402
So IF YOU POST A NOTICE ALL CAPS, THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT TRUE? lapucelle Jul 2017 #403
The links are still there so whether or not someone posted in caps is irrelevant. It's still true. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #425

Removing the "m" worked for one of the links but seems to have broken others Rob H. Jul 2017 #452
One could also do a search for his posts using keywords. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #453
Did that, and wow Rob H. Jul 2017 #455
