Bernie Sanders

There are accusations that Bernie is using AARPs logo on his mailings in Iowa.
I went to AARP - you can too. I went to states, went to Iowa, went to blogs....
Here's the link:
http://search.aarp.org/everywhere/aarp-blogs/iowa/_/N-8lZ1z141x6Zbe?Ntt=states&intcmp=DSO-SRCH-EWHERE
Nothing there!! So I tried to leave a comment, yes I belong to AARP - signed in and got an error message when I hit enter. Tried again, same thing. And again. Very interesting that there are no comments on this *HOT* topic, isn't it.
This is the link they are posting around the web

There is an accusation that Bernie is using the LCV logo on mailings. Here is the pic they are using. Whoever photoshopped it is an idiot.
[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]
Notice where the LCV is and the little blurb about his 95% score. That is NOT possible. That is where the addressee's name goes!
It is an envelope because you can see where the stamp is supposed to go and the scanning on the bottom.
Just a refresher (not that Bernie supporters need it) this is how an envelope is addressed. Compare it to the photoshop. There is no way this was mailed. There is no addressee!! Like I said - whoever did this is an idiot.

Then there is an accusation that Bernie supporters infiltrated Culinary Workers Union and pretended they worked there. Here's the link, CNN reporting on it. Nothing confirmed. Some say yes, some say no. Read it for yourself, and see Weaver's comments.

So it is possible this one *may* be true.

(7,499 posts)It's getting really deep and ugly out there. HRC's campaign is going full out dirty. Hopefully voters will see it for what it is. I mean really, who is draped in decades of scandals, innuendos and flat out lies? It's not Bernie. I hope this comes back to bite her and expose her for what she is.

(17,651 posts)and only 1 campaign whose back is up against the wall like a desperate rat trying to survive. Only 1 campaign that MUST resort to (and has the proven track record of) spreading lies, misinformation and engaging in sewer politics to manipulate the public's already bad perception of her campaign just to attempt to stop the bleeding.
ONLY 1 and it is NOT Bernie Sanders.
In fact, I'm donating a few more $$ to the only person worthy of my vote as Democratic nominee for POTUS, Bernie Sanders.

Probably an overzealous Hillary supporter who can't stand the thought of her losing to a Socialist Jew who only represents 99% of the population.
I may be wrong.....

(28,940 posts)It might be a Hillary supporter or operative
A crank who wants to stir up trouble
Even a Sanders supporter who, if found, kicked to the curb after a public spanking. With 'friends like you ..."
What I do know is Bernie Sanders is far, far too smart to buy off on a stupid amateur stunt like this.

Yeah, Las Vegas casinos let strange people walk around in service areas. And just shoo them out the door when caught.
Casinos have literally hundreds of security cameras. They use scan cards to open staff doors. That is Trespassing. They prosecute people for lots less. That being said; I can find no documentation of arrests.
Even if advocates were presenting reasons to vote for Bernie. How is that "misleading", isn't that just canvassing?
As far as what is going on.
I can't answer with out swearing or graphic descriptions. At least at this moment.

A bonkers article in NYT that said "Bernie Sanders Is Democrats Top Beneficiary of Outside Spending, Like it or Not"

If Hillary keeps this garbage up, she's going to start looking like Karl Rove with a wig.
Serious amount of smearing bullshit (I probably missed some)
