Automated Message: You have been blocked from a group

You have been blocked from posting in the Hillary Clinton group by Cha. If you believe this is an error, you may contact Cha for more information."

Interesting that the Hillary Group can not handle the truth about its candidate. I wear this as a badge of honor. Hillary can not win the general election. While Hillary supporters say that in the 30 years that Bernie Sanders has been in politics "he has not been vetted" and then they twist the truth, misquote, or lie about him, the problem with Hillary is that she has been vetted and people simply do not like or trust her.

Bernie can stand consistently on his record of fighting for the middle class, all workers, women's rights, health care for all, his marching with MLK when Hillary was still a Republican, etc., while Hillary must reinvent herself because her history is neither consistent nor anything but a being a puppet for the rich and powerful. Bernie fights for the common good while Hillary fights for Hillary.

I will say it again: There is a revolution and you are either part of that revolution or you are not.

1. The more interesting thing is how many more

have been blocked from the Hillary group than from the Bernie group.

[bvar22]

41. Me. I was banned after 1 post, and didn't know I was IN the Hillary Group.

If the Hillary Group insists on making outrageously false statements in their private group, and have them listed on the Greatest Page, then they should expect people to point out the lies.

[roguevalley]

44. me too. I stay out of protected groups but my phone wouldn't tell me the group name. Ah well.

[Mojorabbit]

45. Same here. Nt

[99th_Monkey]

2. What took you so long, to be banished?

Sorry, just kidding.

Thanks for your op. GO BERNIE!!!

[emsimon33]

3. I kept wondering the same thing!!!!!

[99th_Monkey]

7. Perhaps your skill at speaking truth with keen sensitivity and measured respect.

That would be my guess. That's pretty much how Bernie operates, as he did in his speech
at Liberty University.

[emsimon33]

9. Thank you for the kind words, but I think that "poking a stick in the eye" was more like it!

[emsimon33]

19. By the way...

we are going to find that 100th monkey this election and change the world! Who would have thought that the Catholics would elect a pope who had actually read the New Testament...and understood it!

Monkeys...I see thousands of them marching together and not settling any more for a dystopian future!

[99th_Monkey]

24. .

You give me big belly-laugh.

i always wonder how many people 'get' the 99thMonkey thing, so now I know at least someone
does. Thanks.

Blessings & Solidarity. Peace to you emsimon33!

[Duckhunter935]

4. join the club

They blocked me a long time ago. They just post insults and are not interested in facts

[emsimon33]

5. Unfortunately they are delusional as is the DNC

If the super delegates steal the election, that will be the end of the Democratic Party.

[draa]

17. It's the Mitt Romney strategy.

They can't talk about the good because compared to Bernie she's not even in that same universe.

Anyway, that's the same thing Romney supporters did and he lost badly. Clinton is on the same path to failure as well. Just give it time.

[Nictuku]

6. Yep, me too.

I realized half-way through responding to something that it was on the Hillary group, and I figured I'd get banned. I honestly didn't say anything terrible about their candidate. Here, judge for yourself:

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[emsimon33]

8. I agree. I had said much worse and expected to be banned before!

I was surprised and pleased with their tolerance

[Kalidurga]

13. OMG you can't say that.

I mean if all Republicans aren't bad, then maybe all Democrats aren't good. Or if you are a Republican and you say a Democrat might be good, oh my the world stops spinning for some of them too. They are mind blown that a Democrat can see them as human and that they can get along. We better stop this right now or who knows what could happen, why peace might break out and where is the profit in that?

[Nictuku]

18. Well said!

[emsimon33]

21. "[P]eace might break out and where is the profit in that?"

The neoliberals' playbook seems to be "1984"! And Hillary is a neoliberal.

[draa]

22. Those folks must lead lonely lives.

I have Republican family and friends and I love them all. We may not agree, and holidays are sometimes fun, but they're still my people and I'll protect them as they would me. And I'm even further left than Bernie.

What they are doing in that group is what's wrong with this country. It's also what both parties want us to do. Fight amongst ourselves while their friends screw us. It's all part of the Big Con.

[Nictuku]

25. Another winner!

Thank you, I agree with you completely. Divided we will fall!

I am certain that Bernie can win the nomination. I think that there is a sleeping giant in our country that has been awakened. I don't think that Hillary can generate the enthusiasm that will be necessary to bring out the vote.

If I am wrong, and if she does win the nomination, I will still get out and vote. And I will be voting against Republicans, have no doubt of that. But I won't be wrong. The country is just beginning to #feelthebern. I think all these pundits are in for a big surprise.

[emsimon33]

27. The past is the past. Use it as your calculus at your own peril.

[emsimon33]

26. The DNC is the "Big Con" anymore and it will lose us the election if we are not careful

I wonder if that is the point: DWS is the Manchurian Candidate, placed to destroy the Democratic Party? If so, she is doing one hellav a job!

[draa]

40. She doesn't need to destroy it.

It's destroyed itself.

The beast has been exposed and it is us. Or at least some of us. Actively trying to prevent a candidate in our own party from winning the nomination with many of the so called "liberals" in our party doing the bidding of immoral assholes. They are all political hacks. They don't deserve anything but scorn and derision and that's what they will get from me going forward. I've had enough.

[Old Codger]

10. Me too

Blocked long ago for saying something about truth, and posting a quote from one of their heroes...

Definitely badge of honor...

[emsimon33]

12. "Definitely badge of honor..." definitely!!!!

[JonathanRackham]

16. Salute.

[JonathanRackham]

11. Me too.

Been thrown out of better bars at later hours

Like an admission of defeat.

[emsimon33]

14. "Been thrown out of better bars at later hours" LOL!

[Kalidurga]

15. I got banned for saying something about what someone said

was way off the topic of the OP or something something. I don't really remember, but it wasn't a bad thing about Hillary or even about the OP.

[emsimon33]

23. They are so very sensitive and can not handle the truth!

They misinterpret so often (Bernie's comments on TRM Show, thinking that Bernie was comparing Hillary to Darth Cheney --which I can see some comparisons but he didn't--, the database thing, etc.) because it suits their purpose and because Hillary has no consistent record except for women's issues and Bernie can out do her even on that!

[Kalidurga]

29. Bernie would never do that

I wouldn't even compare Hillary to Darth Cheney and I don't really like her. I think Bernie actually does like her they do seem to get along so no way he'd do that.

[emsimon33]

34. Both are hawks and both have their own agenda--that's what I meant

I agree that Bernie would NEVER say or mean that at all. I do wish that I could be more like Bernie when it comes to Hillary and the DNC but the future of Hillary as president is too disturbing.

Obama got away with a lot because he is a Democrat and we were hesitant to hold his feet to the fire. The rich and powerful consolidate their power better under a Democratic president (especially with a Republican controlled Congress) than with a Republican president.

If one of the Republicans in the clown car becomes president, 2018 will see the end of a Republican-controlled House and they will lose a significant number of seats in the Senate. We will fight and fight hard against their agenda. But Hillary, the voices of "she a woman, she a Democrat so we must support her" will dampen any push back.

I actually see Hillary more akin to Margaret Thatcher than to Eleanor Roosevelt.

Flame me if you must!

[Kalidurga]

36. I will not flame you

I agree, I wish I could be more like Bernie. But, alas I have never liked Hillary. I didn't like her in 1992, Bill got my sympathy vote. Just kidding he got my vote, but because I thought he would be a good President I wasn't even thinking about Hillary when I cast my vote.

But, seriously she does remind me more of Thatcher. She has a better smile and I think she is more loyal to her friends and family.

[emsimon33]

37. Thank you for blowing out the match :-)

[LiberalElite]

20. Hey! I got that same message - from

that same person! I thought being banned from that group was a special honor reserved for a few
but if they ban everyone - it's Oh you too? (meant as a sarcastic joke )

[emsimon33]

28. It was an echo chamber to begin with & soon it will be 2 or 3 lonely souls

huddled in a dark corner of DU, their backs to each other fending off no one as we will all be banned but having stimulating and intelligent (and fact-based) discussions in the Bernie Group!

[LiberalElite]

30. .

[Lage Nom Ai]

31. Got mine

For posting the actual quote instead of the hacked up one they were being rabid over. Same Cha person too. Funny thing they asked me a bunch of questions after removing my ability to respond. They seem to be all about constructive debate as long as you can't express your side.

[emsimon33]

32. "They seem to be all about constructive debate as long as you can't express your side." Echo chamber

Welcome, by the way!

[tularetom]

33. Eff 'em if they can't take a joke

I really dislike their idol, but I don't have anything personal against any of them.

But they all seem to have really thin skins and a tendency to take as a personal insult anything negative against Clinton.

Poor babies, this election season will not end well for them. Hopefully it will be Bernie that puts her out of her misery, but if she somehow slimes her way to the nomination, it will be Trump or one of the mini-Trumps.

[emsimon33]

35. I agree

[SoapBox]

38. ROFLMAO...How many are now blocked? 5 or 10,000???

It's become a total joke!

And they wonder why she and her bad campaign are spinning down the toilet??

I say, welcome to the very big Club of the Banned...Wear the Badge with Honor!

Go Bernie!

Go Berners!

[emsimon33]

39. Closer to 30 million so far I do believe!

[Cleita]

42. Welcome to a very big club, indeed.

That Hillary Group wouldn't know the truth if it hugged and french kissed them. They would go, "Ugh! I don't like the truth!"

[emsimon33]

48. You missed a great house party yesterday!

"That Hillary Group wouldn't know the truth if it hugged and french kissed them." LOL!

There were so many people there that we could hardly move. Yes, in wealthy and conservative Arroyo Grande (I had never been up in that area before and was astounded at the homes--$750,000 and up wouldn't you say?) There were so many cars parked along the street that it was a real hike to the house. There is certainly a movement when you can get that many people out on a Saturday afternoon--a bright and warm afternoon after all the rain and clouds--to hear Bernie speak and to volunteer (Did I mention that the house was huge so there must have been at least 75 people there!!!! And there were several other house parties in SLO yesterday, all over the county!)

By the way, there were 3 people there from the South County Democrats and no one has been showing up for the meetings. I explained that between all the work we are doing to stop the Phillips 66 spur/oil trains, to fight Freeport Mcmoran in their attempts to poison our aquifer, and to elect Bernie...and all the grants right now that I am writing, we have just been too busy but that we will be there for the February meeting.

[Cleita]

49. Wow! Sounds like a great time.

Yes we will have to go in February. Will keep in touch.

[saltpoint]

43. Yep. They're a touchy bunch over

there at the Hillary group.

[awoke_in_2003]

46. I got blocked...

a member on another site and here was bragging on the other site that they got one of Cha's posts here hidden. One of the admins from there said that those types of posts were not going to be allowed over there (it was hidden), and would be handled. This was said in the Hillary group. I said "thanks (admin's first name)". That was enough to get me blocked.

on edit: but I don't wear it as a badge of honor. I have been here for some time. I was a 3 term moderator and 2 term MIRTer. In fact, I believe I have served with the person who blocked me. I always found them to be reasonable. It was disappointing. Now, try to avoid the Hillary Group, the Bernie Group, and GD (yeah, I stumbled in here when I saw your title). There is too much BS out there right now.

[emsimon33]

47. "I stumbled in here..." I agree that there is too much BS & am glad that you "stumbled in"
