In reply to the discussion: Sen. Bernie Sanders: ending DACA "one of the ugliest and cruelest decisions ever made" [View all]Lordquinton

You literally posted a quote with no context, no source, and put your own spin on it. That is fact, if you want to argue with the facts you could go and edit your post to attempt to make me look the fool.
Hints, guessing games, and putting the onus on the person calling you out don't count as sourcing, or context, or anything else.
Try harder.
I'm glad you looked up demonstrably, now you know what it is when people use it. I hope others learned what it means too so they can use it when something is demonstrably without source, context, and has heavy editorializing attached.

The Kennedy-McCain bill did not spread a false story that immigrants were taking lifeguard jobs.

This is exactly what the GOP wants us to do, discredit our own before the fight.

I'm sure snowman3 from Dkos is nice and all, but again, I'll have to defer to the SPLC and LULAC.
