Palast on Sanders --

[Hell Hath No Fury]

cross post from Primaries:

"When the Congressional Black Caucus asked me to present my discovery of the illegal purge of Black voters in Florida, only one white guy showed: Bernie Sanders. Hillary: MIA. I'm tired of hearing that Sanders doesn't reach out to Black folk. He's been on the front lines since Selma. I don't endorse candidates — but I also don't tolerate bullshit over facts." - Greg Palast

1. Greg may not endorse candidates

But he sure knows who is telling the truth, and who not only talks the talk, but walks the walk.

[merrily]

9. Judging by this, he's either for Bernie or for O'Malley.

2. the only people making that claim are clinton supporters

for obvious reasons: bernie gained 8 points (from 6% to 14%) among likely black voters since june.

4. 14% is old news already

Wait until next month's figures. There's no way it won't be doubled by then.

There are Black student chapters forming for Bernie. Marc Lamont Hill just gave in to the Bern.

From her on it's gonna be like dominos.

I'm really proud that Bernie supporters did not fall for that garbage about Cornel being hated in the Black community no matter how many times that smear was (ahem) *brushed* by someone whose 45 was stuck in the first groove in every single post they made for 3 days straight.

I really gotta laugh at the Clintonesque bullshit that Black folks are going to spit on Bernie's record and agenda because of loyalty to a White woman who called a Black Presidential candidate a slumlord.

10. I expect it to go up, but doubled? From your fingers to God's keyboard.

3. Speaking of Florida...

I can hardly wait to see the crowds when he goes there.

5. Kicked and recommended a whole bunch!

6. Change the words

…..in your headline, so that those who need this information most will read it. Some DUers may not even know who Palast is or why they should care what he writes about. Maybe some reference to Congressional Black Caucus.

Great info. Thanks!

7. +1!!! Just like the rest of Americans, black people as they learn about Bernie will get behind him!

The word is spreading and Bernie's popularity is growing. Unlike Trump, who has no substance behind his bluster and his act will wear thin, Bernie's popularity will keep growing because he makes sense and has the SOLUTIONS to the problems this country faces.

8. How inconvenient for some that he has a long, and consistently good, record

It must feel like he has an unfair advantage, his record is their kryptonite, like sorcery.
