Followers getting so out of hand that a campaign spokesman needs to tell them to be respectful.
Dismissing Planned Parenthood as "establishment."

This the "revolution" we're supposed to sign up for? Ugly.

On edit -- using AARP's logo without permission, too? Is this thing totally out of control?

[Cali_Democrat]

1. If this is the "revolution" we'll be getting, I want no part of it. nt

[kristopher]

36. Well, Hillary was on the board of Walmart, right?

I guess that's where the idea of using union busting rhetoric is coming from...

"Those damned agitators are sneaking in to get the workers all agitated and all that damned communist stuff!!!"

You guys really need to run with this. It is great.

[Gothmog]

50. Agreed

[mmonk]

2. I thought I might reply but changed my mind.

Think I'll just exit

[Human101948]

3. Bullshit!

Does thatanswer your question?

[NurseJackie]

5. Well, not the question that was asked. But it does reveal more than was probably intended.

[Human101948]

37. Meow!

Struck to the core!

[JustAnotherGen]

4. Wait

I'm not up on the racial profiling and union members thing. Brb.

[revmclaren]

6. Here is the link to the Union story.

[JustAnotherGen]

10. Oh

[revmclaren]

8. Its being covered on most of the major news outlets now...

[JustAnotherGen]

12. Bob Marley is on right now

Bob wins! But thanks for the above link.

[revmclaren]

21. understand completely.

[JustAnotherGen]

22. Found the racial profiling thing

Im an O'Malley supporter so take this at face value - positive intent . . .

I don't blame Senator Sanders for that.

I don't think he would have liked that at all.

27. My issue is with the Union trespass...

Being a Union member, this leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. Waiting to see how this develops, but not good!

[kristopher]

38. "The Union trespass"? Yeah, keep those agitators away from the workers!!!!

[kristopher]

44. Yes, it is the same bullpuckey every day/week/month/year from the HRC campaign

So that Culinary Union story...

Where the Bernie staff was sneaking into places and trying to convince union workers to support Sanders.

Odd story.

What's even odder is that the only source seems to be the union. And particularly the head of the Union Geoconda Arguello Kline.

I'm sure it would be purely a coincidence that she's "randomly" campaigned with Hillary?



That's her on the left.

33. It was a blown opportunity for Bernie, could have let them do their protest and he could

show how he supports.

Given he doesnt need anymore white middle class voters in the primary, if you get my drift

[randys1]

31. On what, your mind? I want me some Marley

[Cali_Democrat]

23. Here's the racial profiling story:

[JustAnotherGen]

25. I found it on city data

How sad.

[Bobbie Jo]

43. Thanks for the link.

[farleftlib]

7. Wow, so much flailing about

and the screaming meemies on top of that. Take some aspirin or something.

[randys1]

34. Are you one who doesnt pile on when some bashing of Hillary takes place?

[RobertEarl]

9. That's it for you

You are on ignore... and good riddance Dan.

You seem to hate Democrats and don't want poor folks to have health care so ignore you go.

[redstateblues]

54. Love it when you can't refute DanTex

The nasty personal attacks start. It's so predictable.

[RobertEarl]

56. Not worth the time

Look at the title of of the OP. Nothing but pure trash, Dumping it so I never see any such trash again. You're probably next.

[angrychair]

11. Its only Thursday

By Sunday we will have stories that choosing Sanders will make gawd block out the sun and slay 10,000 newborns and bring plagues of locust and rain frogs or even worse, spaghetti on meatloaf night.

[Nanjeanne]

14. I'm not sure about the raining of frogs

I do think the weather report said because of Sanders by Monday it's raining Meatballs . . . and Meatballs 2.

[farleftlib]

16. Spaghetti on meatloaf night? Oh noes!!1! Know what comes after that?

EAT YOUR PEAS!

[Dawson Leery]

13. kick

[Punkingal]

15. It's clear you aren't signing up...spare us the faux outrage.

[DanTex]

17. Well, if he wins the primary (which is looking pretty unlikely) he's my guy.

I sure hopes he finds a way to put an end to this stuff. Part of being a leader is making sure your followers don't behave like jackasses.

[NCTraveler]

18. It's the PP one that gets me.

He is running against the establishment. He knows his supporters are anti-establishment. He calls the a part of the establishment.

As far as the union one, I hope Clintons surrogates made it back home unnoticed.

The recent racial profiling. Has it been confirmed that POC were removed who weren't with the protesting group? While it wasn't handled well, I have no problem with known protestors being removed.

[Vinca]

19. I suppose in conspiracy world it isn't possible the staffers were wearing union pins in solidarity.

Assuming this came from HuffPo, you neglected the other article about how Bernie and Elizabeth Warren just saved taxpayers $18 billion. Doesn't fit the narrative, I guess.

[DanTex]

20. The union doesn't seem to think so.

Also, I wasn't aware that I was supposed to comb all of HuffPo and report on every article there. Is that in the DU rules?

[Vinca]

24. You mean the union BOSSES don't seem to think so.

[George II]

65. The were caught in restricted areas of the hotels - areas for employees ONLY. As for the....

....$18 billion? Actually it was Senators Blumenthal (CT) and Markey (MA) who initiated that, not Sanders or Warren. Three or four other Senators were involved, too. It's all in the Huffington Post article.

[Vinca]

67. And as for the person making the initial complaint -

it turns out that not only is she a union leader, she's a Hillary supporter so close to the candidate they've appeared in a photo together.

[George II]

68. So that means that they didn't access restricted areas reserved only for employees?

[Vinca]

69. Oooooh . . . what a crime. Have you ever wandered into "restricted" areas? I have.

Get out a little. If Hillary's supporters are too timid to go into a "restricted" area, that doesn't say much for the courage of the candidate.

[George II]

70. I haven't dressed up and gone into a restricted area willfully. You're now saying....

....that they "wandered" into the employee-only lunch rooms of FOUR separate hotels, hinting that it wasn't intentional?

I'd like to see them try that at an airport.

[Vinca]

71. You make it sound like they crept into a nuclear storage facility. Get a grip.

Here I thought they'd gone into a workplace, but now you're telling me the lunchroom. Wow. What a BFD that is.

[grasswire]

26. throwing spaghetti against the wall again??

Geez. What a waste of time.

[DanTex]

29. Facts. Some people don't like them.

[Art_from_Ark]

47. I don't think that's spaghetti they're throwing

More like Tootsie Rolls

[reformist2]

28. I have no idea what you're referring to with any of this. And I suspect most don't either.

I do detect a lame attempt to smear someone, but it's not going to work. In fact, you're making things worse for your side.

[DanTex]

30. Read up. Or maybe it's easier not to.

[Logical]

52. Most of your posts are cryptic. Nt

[riversedge]

32. Ha ha. you made me chuckle at your "I know nothing"

[Bonobo]

35. My God. The horror.

If I were you, I would take a stiff drink and curl up in bed and hope this insanity blows over.

[morningfog]

48. I don't how they manage to go on.

It's like nothing I've ever seen other than every four years.

[jillan]

39. Taking Monsanto money, banksters money and now fracking lobbyist money.

I expect she will cry again the night before the NH primary.

Thanks, but no thanks.

[DanTex]

40. Deflection. So how do you feel about the actions of Bernie's campaign?

[morningfog]

46. I don't buy into everything in your list yet.

I'm withholding judgment on the AARP mailer until more proof is produced.

However, even if everything is proven (which likely won't happen), I feel the campaign workers are ambitious.

[redstateblues]

55. The nasty campaign stuff is alway OK when it's

for the Revoluuution

[morningfog]

57. Or for Hillary. See 2008 and her repeat with hitman Brock.

[William769]

42. Sounds just like a Gang of bullies to me!

Oh wait it's the Sanders campaign.

[Bluenorthwest]

63. The sort of bullying I most strongly object to is that whole 'Defense of Marriage' DOMA mindset:

"I believe marriage is not just a bond but a sacred bond between a man and a woman. I have had occasion in my life to defend marriage, to stand up for marriage, to believe in the hard work and challenge of marriage. So I take umbrage at anyone who might suggest that those of us who worry about amending the Constitution are less committed to the sanctity of marriage, or to the fundamental bedrock principle that it exists between a man and a woman, going back into the midst of history as one of the founding, foundational institutions of history and humanity and civilization, and that its primary, principal role during those millennia has been the raising and socializing of children for the society into which they are to become adults."
And

"Every State reserves the right to refuse to recognize a marriage performed in another State if that marriage would violate the State's public policy. Indeed, the Supreme Court has long held that no State can be forced to recognize any marriage. That is what the case law has held. But just to make sure there were no loopholes in that case law, the Congress passed and the President signed the Defense of Marriage Act, known as DOMA.

The Defense of Marriage Act has not even been challenged at the Federal level, and because the Supreme Court has historically held that States do not have to recognize laws of other States that offend their public policy, it is assumed that any challenge would be futile."
http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4535174/hillary-clinton-gay-marriage-2004

Not only bullying but also very wrong about DOMA was not open to challenge.....don't even try it, we made a law!!!!

[morningfog]

45. Things get ugly during this part of the primary. American elections are ugly, ugly, ugly.

And this one will get far uglier from both sides. Sit back and enjoy the show.

[Gothmog]

49. These complaints need to be investigated

[Logical]

51. Dan being Dan, LOL! nt

[HERVEPA]

53. Yes, Dan, your bullshit is totally out of control. But it is good that you asked.

[redstateblues]

58. Any specific refutation? Or just an ad hominem attack

[HERVEPA]

61. Posts the same bullshit with different words over and over.

[treestar]

64. So Bernie had permission?

to use the AARP logo?

That was in the news. It's not something Dan made up.

[whatchamacallit]

59. Lol, the inevitable flailing and lashing out that accompanies panic

[LexVegas]

62. The actions of an ambitious politician. nt

[aikoaiko]

66. And still Hillary is losing supporters to Bernie.

Even if Bernie's campaign did make these errors, more and more Democrats are choosing Bernie.

I'm not saying everything you said is true but some have said so.
