(45,319 posts)among supremacist groups, including those known as separatists which are non white. They all want to eliminate the Jewish people. Then they want death for groups they call 'race traitors' and 'mongrels'. There is no such thing as white supremacists who like Jews. Note the recent trial of a white supremacist who went to a Jewish center to kill Jews. He's what they are.
So people who want to claim Bernie is part of a group that wants him dead are irrational . They have to be entirely ignorant of reality or utterly without regard for decency. It is a foul and reprehensible trope that serves the actual supremacists. Those who do this are bringing poison to the table and they must not be taken seriously.
Sorry if this is harsh but evil white supremacists are not some theoretical group, it is a real thing and the proper action is to know them and to defeat them, not to exploit their extremism as some rhetorical fodder for attacking politicians from groups those supremacists hate. This is not fun time. Those shits will murder people. It's not cute nor funny to exploit that reality to stain good people. It's disgusting.
