Someone recently linked to this nastiness as a legitimate source on a democratic board.

[Agschmid]

1. SMH.

[demmiblue]

4. You can smack your head, or you can stand up in agreement.

[Agschmid]

6. ...

First off it's "shaking my head" second... Since when do we hide tweets? Whether the tweets were true or false, why would we hide actual tweets from Twitter?

What's the point? Twitter is a news source nowadays... Like it or not.

[demmiblue]

8. If you find that source acceptable, well...

[Agschmid]

10. I didn't say I agree with what they are saying, it's crap.

But Twitter is a source.

[demmiblue]

12. So is Storm Front.

What is your point?

[Agschmid]

13. That we should hide posts we disagree with, we should hide posts which violate the CS.

But we don't do that anymore, juries just do whatever the hell they want to.

[demmiblue]

17. We should hide posts that use bigoted sources, PERIOD. n/t

[ljm2002]

41. Twitter is millions of sources...

...like Facebook, for example. I don't think just any Facebook account would be acceptable here, and it looks to me like that Twitter source falls into the same category.

Twisting yourself into a pretzel trying to justify using that particular Tweeter as a source would be amusing if the source itself were not so ugly. But it is ugly, exceedingly so, and your contortions are ugly as well.

[Agschmid]

42. ...

Okay sure, whatever you say.

Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit are never used as sources around here. You are right, my arms are tired from twisting into pretzel shapes...



What would be good is if we were all more curious about why/how things happen, but we aren't, and apparently it's way to much to ask.

[ljm2002]

46. Enough with the dishonesty...

...of course Facebook and Twitter are used as sources here. But Facebook and Twitter are huge and comprise literally millions upon millions of separate sources. Not just any Facebook account is an acceptable source, and the same is or should be true for Twitter accounts.

Pretzel, thy name is Agschmid.

TTFN

[Agschmid]

47. Yah I didn't personally attack you, but it's telling that's all you had for me.

[villager]

2. The anti-Semitism grows palpably stronger around here. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. Yup, and I expected it

[villager]

14. You called it, and it's arriving right on cue. From those most heavily "projecting outward,"

...it would seem.

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. You thought it was bad

just wait.. I can smell it right now

[villager]

24. and as things keep unraveling -- yes, it predictably gets worse.

Wonder how much help foresight will be, this time 'round?

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. Well my dad always taught me to have a passport

and cash. I think it is time to have cash on hand.

[villager]

27. Hmm... Yeah. I just have the passport part "at the ready," myself... nt

[VulgarPoet]

45. Racists don't change their spots; to take a saying and turn it into a malaphor.

I think we're gonna see a lot of it before day's end.

[Califonz]

54. Like this?

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2000/jul/18/uselections2000.usa

[villager]

55. Certainly many of her supporters here use nearly identical language. nt

[nc4bo]

3. Dammit. Supporter like leader. Doesn't say much about either. nt

[amborin]

5. you can get on Twitter and alert on their account

if enough people do so, maybe Twitter will take action

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. I have alerted yes

[amborin]

11. i did, too

[jillan]

20. How do you do that?

[jeff47]

15. So wait...the twitter account claiming packs of BernieBros were driving off

Clinton supporters might not have been accurate?!!?!?!!

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

If only there was some way a journalist could look at the past history of an account before citing it....oh wait, there is.

[beam me up scottie]

16. Right?

What kind of journalist doesn't check his sources?

It's almost like he was biased but that couldn't be...

[djean111]

29. That's "hot" journalist, to you, missy/or/mister!

[beam me up scottie]

30. Oops! Sorry! My bad.

[Goblinmonger]

35. This is almost as good as the 24-hour news day fiasco.

It won't get that big, but shows how some "journalists" operate. How about if you cite Twitter, you look into your source.

[beam me up scottie]

36. And when your source is wrong (or in this case a raging anti-Semitic bigot) don't double down.

I mean that whole 24 hour thing would have been forgotten if he would have just admitted they screwed up but instead it turned into a giant clusterfuck.

[Goblinmonger]

37. Yup. Hopefully in this case the journalist just lets it go

but it doesn't look like it.

[villager]

22. "Journalist?"

[lumberjack_jeff]

51. +1 n/t

[virtualobserver]

18. this is worse than I though it was......

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

21. Zinggggg!!

[grossproffit]

23. That ones on my blocked list.

I detest antisemites.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. He posts here?

[grossproffit]

38. No, on Twitter.

Sorry for not being more clear.

[Triana]

26. Already had that turd blocked.

Not sure when I blocked it, but I did!

[beam me up scottie]

28. So is there a name for these rabidly anti-Semitic Hillary supporters?

I mean they refer to Bernie supporters as "BernieBros", isn't it about time the internet bigots who engage in that kind of behaviour had a name too?

[Agschmid]

32. Anti-Semites works fine...

[Bluenorthwest]

39. Third Reich Way or Thirdreichway.org

Sensible Supremacists?

[beam me up scottie]

48. Oh I like both of those!

Hillbros wasn't quite descriptive enough.

[Capt. Obvious]

33. Making Sense

[riderinthestorm]

34. Oh dammit!!!!

There's been more than a whiff of anti-semitism on DU.

This sucks.

[Bluenorthwest]

40. DU has a growing and fully empowered antisemitic contingent. It is not acceptable.

[lumberjack_jeff]

50. +1 n/t

[pinebox]

43. I've gone rounds with every single one of those people

and luckily my following is about 2x the size of his.
The guy is an idiot & nothing but. He didn't last long in our little dance.

[dana_b]

44. that guy is begging for attention

lets not give it to him.

[lumberjack_jeff]

49. Journalistic integrity... some people don't have it. n/t

52. AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service

Juror #3 reveals an attitude strangely divorced from reality, but otherwise it was a good verdict IMO.[hr]
Mail Message
On Sun Mar 27, 2016, 02:22 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Be aware of sources on the internet (updated):
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511582300

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Using Twitter account links as sources. This makes us Bernie supporters look bad when he spreads these things, even if not intentional he is still spreading negative stuff on Bernie

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Mar 27, 2016, 02:32 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: We have to take the good with the bad and we need too be big enough to examine something like this. Actually, this damages the reputation of Clinton supporters and just confirms how nasty they can be. Hillary supporters are far right wing and would be considered right of center even for moderate Republicans (against gay marriage, pro-war, pro-Wall Street, etc).

So, I appreciate this new insight into just how nasty the Hillary campaign has become elsewhere on the internet.

Now, I have to go wash my eyes out with bleach after reading the shit on those pro-Hillary sites.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: As a Berdie supporter I want to hide this, but I don't see was TOS it violates. "Making us Bernie supporters look bad" doesn't seem to meet that definition.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Offs. The OP is POINTING OUT foulness on Twitter, not *spreading* it. SMH...
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The OP is a goofy choice, but it doesn't seem hide-worthy to me. Better to address the dubiousness of the sources in-thread IMO.

Leave it.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
