I wouldn't even lay this cretin at Herr Trump's feet:

Every campaign attracts all kinds, the noble and the ignoble.

Thank you in advance.

1. Cretin is right

What a misogynist jerk.

2. He reminds me of Tucker Max without a law degree./nt

4. Sad

Didn't know anything about Tucker Max but just from googling him and looking at headlines he looks like a jerk too. Sadly the world is full of them.

5. I am trying to describe him...

Max has written books whose thesis is women like to be abused, not physically but emotionally. The whole "bad boy" shtick. If I remember correctly his parents own a tony restaurant and he's a Duke Law School graduate...

The guy whose twitter page I linked attends my alma mater. (SIGH)

7. Not Worth a Thought

All I can say is what a loser. We will probably see him on TV one day being led away in handcuffs.

6. So what's the point of posting this?

Other than the obvious trolling.

8. I would tell you what you can do with your ad hominem attack but it would result in a hide.

I was posting it an as an antidote to threads started to shame Clinton supporters by citing the aberrant musings of those that hold themselves out to be her supporters.


I laugh derisively at your selective outrage.

9. The difference is

that thread was a response to this OP http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1581978 where that twitter account was treated as a legitmate source.

You will not find one post that ever linked the account in your OP. But you knew all that.

10. That is a distinction without a difference.

Posters are using the aberrant musings of one Clinton supporter to tar Clinton and all her supporters. Clinton and her supporters are no more responsible for the aberrant musings of one of her supporters than Senator Sanders and his supporters are responsible for his.

What part of that don't you understand?

[Autumn]

12. Are you sure about that? Sanders and his supporters are responsible for

anything any Sander's "supporter" does or has ever done. You may try to deny that but you don't have to look too far to find any rant declaring that. Check out Front Page Magazine.

[melman]

15. And naturally

that point couldn't be made without posting the link. Your game is very obvious.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. What game? All candidates have less than savory supporters.

All I see from you is a stream of ad hominem attacks. Did you think they would cow me, really ?

[Bluenorthwest]

17. Clinton supporters have a Cottage Industry of tagging all Sanders supportes and Bernie with

everything they say they read on Twitter. Also, some of the Clinton supporters who have been doing that have been found out as having done so driven by antisemitic bias spewed all over the internet. Should I use that to define you, Hillary and the rest of her supporters? You are part of that tag team. You are here trying to play cover for it now.

No one is forgetting about any of it.

18. Since I am part Jewish that would make no sense at all...If you doubt my veracity, do a search

Is that a threat?

[sadoldgirl]

11. That is disgusting. A supporter of the Dumpster perhaps?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. I wish he was...

You can read his first ten tweets.

19. *cough* Cornell West *cough*

But you're right, using surrogates to tar a candidate is just the worst thing.

Well, now.

Next week . . .
