[calimary]

1. I rest my case.

[stevenleser]

127. Yep, this guy is a perfect embodiment of the idiotic JPR mindset.

Total asshattery, all the time.

You and I and many others were right about him from day 1.

[yardwork]

2. Lots of DUers promoted this anonymous columnist in 2016.

[workinclasszero]

6. Soon to be JPR'ers favorite shill back then

[yardwork]

8. JPR was funded with Putin money, I'm sure.

Just another part of the propaganda machine funded by Putin and the Mercers to get Trump elected by dividing Democrats.

A lot of DUers were fooled.

[workinclasszero]

9. No doubt

And still getting rubles from Russia to keep their troll farm/discussion board open I bet.

[yardwork]

13. Whether they know it or not.

[workinclasszero]

18. Two choices

They know it and are filthy traitors and fascists, or they don't know it and are idiot tools of fascists and the 1%.

Either way is horrible and they suck to put it mildly.

[yardwork]

19. Well said.

[Gothmog]

57. JPR is full of Russian trolls and putin lovers

[RhodeIslandOne]

76. Also very naive people. N/M

[Gothmog]

123. Agreed

[lapucelle]

73. JPR is also on Prop Or Not's useful idiot list of propaganda websites. N/T

[sheshe2]

93. They must be so proud.

They worked diligently for that title.

[Gothmog]

124. As long as the funding from putin keeps on coming in, they do not care

[Me.]

38. Yes They Did

I was stunned by how easily they bought into his garbage

[Blue_true]

85. Yes. I still remain disappointed with many on DU today that

bought in to the nonsense that was being said about Hillary. It is hard to view those DU members as I had before the 2016 primary. There were many DU members that were strong and sniffed out the bullshit from Day 1 and fought it tooth and nail, those people know who they are, I have bigtime respect for them, even when we disagree on issues.

[Me.]

88. +!

[BootinUp]

3. He's a legit comedian, maybe. lol.

[boston bean]

4. That his right wing propaganda was allowed here to use against hillary

Makes my skin crawl.

[Hoyt]

26. +100000000000000000000

[betsuni]

35. Yes. Still does.

[Blue_true]

87. I will never, ever view those people the same way as before the primary.

Deep down, I can't trust them to make wise choices when there is a clear and present danger standing in front of them. Donald Trump was and IS a clear and present danger, defeating him in 2016 should have been the only concern.

[mcar]

37. Let's hope it's not allowed to happen again

[Blue_true]

89. I am not optimistic. I see indications that we may be headed that way again.

Plenty of rightwing snakeoil salespeople lay in wait for the susceptible.

[ehrnst]

53. Indeed. (nt)

[Blue_true]

86. Shows what can happen when people are so convinced that only their way is the right way.

They become easy targets of snakeoil salespeople.

[stonecutter357]

101. +1000

[Cary]

109. Extremely disappointing

[yardwork]

5. Note the Russian bot named "Nina-Tulsi" pushing Kucinich.

HA HA Goodman has always had just one job.

[Cha]

10. "nina-tulsi".. where did you see

that, yardwork?

[yardwork]

11. In the responses to Goodman's tweet. There are a few supporters. They all sound like bots.

The "Nina-Tulsi" bot was ripping on Democrats.

[Cha]

16. Oh god.. I figured it was that. lol

I don't even know why I asked.. it's just all too bizarre!

I can't stand either one.

Thanks

[Maraya1969]

31. You can report them as pretending to be someone else. I've been doing that and

I've gotten several notices that their accounts were taken down.

[Me.]

40. Nina Has Been KIcking Around Dems

for a long time now, doesn't have to be a bot

[sheshe2]

95. Good point. nt

[Me.]

98. ...

[R B Garr]

7. Look how easy it is to target gullible people.

What a sham and a scam. Anyone who contributed to scam/sham accusations against her needs to apologize to the American people and admit their part in it.

[sheshe2]

12. OMG

I followed the link to his feed.

[yardwork]

14. Did you see the bots amplifying the propaganda?

[sheshe2]

96. Bots or peeps.

Disgusting.

[MelissaB]

21. I went there you said that.

Holy shit!

[sheshe2]

97. Eye opening...

Wasn't it.

[DesertRat]

15. Wow

[Codeine]

17. Remember the stupid fucks who posted

his bullshit multiple times a day at DU? Assholes.

[yardwork]

20. Yes, I remember them well.

[SidDithers]

29. Fun to site search those posts and re-read them...

Lots of PPR, FFR and "Has not agreed to Terms of Service" in those threads.

[R B Garr]

67. Yup, and note the opposite reality CONCERN about

Russian trolls.

In the meantime, we have the Mueller indictments that prove our suspicions correct. HaHa just proves it even more. We know who the trolls and bots are/were. No opposite world allowed like Fox News.

[Gothmog]

125. I do not miss those posters

[Hortensis]

22. Goodman malignantly promotes Sanders to defeat Democrats.

As, of course, do the GOP, the occult Dark Money and other American right-wing operations, some American left-wing operations, and the Kremlin. (Whether Sanders should be accepting or vigorously rejecting this support and denouncing at least those things he recognizes as lies is for another discussion.)

The only question is who among all these this Goodman creep was and is specifically working with. He shoots from positions taken across the political spectrum, but always at the Democratic Party.

One point of great consistency is pushing the same pro-Russia themes, lies and evil-Democrats conspiracies RT does. Like RT, but also like anti-Democrats on the left, a major technique is to piggyback his attacks on the flood of expensive right-wing propaganda funded by domestic Dark Money forces. If he's paid by all of them, he's got a very good thing going.

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. Yes, and that should tell us something.

[ucrdem]

23. Another hero of the righteous left

along with Julian Assange, Special Ed Snowden and Rand Paul . .

[Cha]

43. Don't forget glenny.

[ucrdem]

56. oh yes glenn, the most righteous leftist of all

p.s.

[Cha]

94. So left he's right.. lol

Aloha, ucr.. Happy Earth Day to ya!

[Dennis Donovan]

24. Dipshit...

Has nothing to do with Senator Sanders, BTW...

[comradebillyboy]

25. Except he was one of Sanders' loudest boosters

Goodman's pieces were frequently posted here by Sanders supporters as God's own truth. Nobody in the Sanders camp ever had a bad word for HaHa. So yeah, nothing to do with Sanders at all.

[Dennis Donovan]

28. So?

He's a dipshit. Sorry Senator Sanders didn't denounce every dipshit...

[R B Garr]

36. It just shows how much Bernie was the benefactor

of an organized global smear campaign against Hillary. He should be acknowledging what happened on his behalf and not ignoring current news and indictments.

[ehrnst]

49. Yep.(nt)

[lapucelle]

77. +1000 N/T

[Demit]

79. I think you mean beneficiary

That's the one who receives the goodies

[R B Garr]

80. Yes! That is what I meant.

Phone typing , but yes, thank you.

[LanternWaste]

126. I'm not too confident you're aware of the meaning of the words

I'm not too confident you're aware of the meaning of the words "denounce", "dipshit (sic)", "he", "so?" or "didn't."

But other than that... yeah, spot on!

[Cha]

42. Thanks for excellent clarification, comradebillyboy..

nothing at all.. lol

[comradebillyboy]

71. Thanks for the kind words...

[Me.]

44. Exactly

[Gothmog]

58. Great post

Thank you

[anneboleyn]

60. Great post! I agree entirely! I lost respect for him completely at the convention when he stood

there up on the stage for far too long drinking in the applause like some kind of old man rock star. His half-hearted behavior towards Hillary was definitely damaging, and we know now that Putin and co worked this split to their advantage.

[Hortensis]

63. Imo, you're too kind. Our party and his primary opponent were

continually attacked by him in many ways and places as corrupt, which was his own main campaign theme, but also echoing and benefiting from the same enormously funded messages from the right.

Every time a majority voted for his opponent, he either insinuated or outright claimed the Democratic Party of that state and/or his opponent stole the election. He routinely threatened to file lawsuits, and in a number of states did abuse the courts by doing so. His suits were all dropped as media attention moved on, and of course always before the discovery phase would have proven each phony, one by one.

Btw, this despicable behavior didn't just do his nation tremendous harm. Many of his more vulnerable followers may never recover from the damage his poisonous lies that mainstream Democrats were corrupt did to their relatively fragile understanding. That was and is an enormous, incredibly callous betrayal of their trust. Leaders have a duty to take care of their followers, not burn them as fuel.

[R B Garr]

114. Thank you! Excellent post! It is undeniable now what was going on and

to continue to deny the real evidence of how Democrats were attacked is just irresponsible. I'm expecting an apology tour of some sorts with a full accounting of what will be done to quit attacking our party.

[comradebillyboy]

65. I have to agree. Excellent post.

[NastyRiffraff]

69. +++++++++

It was amazing to me how easily duped some people were by Goodman and his ilk. As long as they promoted Bernie they were hailed as heroes of the Revolution. Sickening. And they were allowed to do it, again and again and again.

Yes, I'm bitter. Damn right I'm bitter. The result is the monster in the White House.

[oasis]

83. "Post of the Month" nt

[Blue_true]

90. I am surprised.

That no one mentioned the PUMAS from 2008, as some are wont to do. The difference between 2008 and 2016 is that Hillary campaigned her ass off for Barrack Obama and made it clear that there was not a better choice than him. She also did not carry the primary to the convention and get her supporters worked up.

[Cha]

100. Hillary was the best.. she was such a Team Player..

I just loved her for that.

Thank you for the reminder, Blue_true

[Gothmog]

34. No one who is intelligent ever paid any attention to this idiot

I zm amised that the idiots who post on JPR pay attention to this idiot

[NCTraveler]

39. Solid character.

He planted his seed early.

People like Goodman had an impact. He simply delivered comfort food to a specific audience. Interestingly enough, that audience was being turned off from voting for one of the most progressive platforms in history. That’s the really screwed up part. We need to help our friends. Let’s be real, if they were stupid enough to fall for this guy we should be able to properly talk down to them and get them on our side. Southern charm style.

[Stallion]

41. The Huffington Post Has Some 'Spaining to do

he was a contributing writer for HP during the election-they gave him a pretty big platform to target shoot the Democratic nominee

[comradebillyboy]

68. I pretty much gave up on Huffpo and Salon for pushing

Goodman and other similar trolls trashing Hillary every day. I won't give either site a click any more.

[ehrnst]

46. Get. Out.

[ismnotwasm]

50. Omg

I mean it was perfectly clear he was full of shit, and some people did treat him like a legit source—I never figured out why, because like I said it was perfectly clear—but damn the man had zero shame

[ehrnst]

52. Some of us weren't fooled.

We saw his real agenda early on.

Others, not so much.

[KPN]

54. WTF?

While HA Goodman has always been a fringe nutjob, was there a legitimate reason for adding "Bernie" to the title of your post?

Pretty obvious. Same old STFU/get in line crap in a new dress.

[R B Garr]

59. What?? You cant just state the obvious that people

were influenced by the outright propaganda lies spewed against Hillary? You prefer yet more falsities that this is a stfu/get in line post?? What?

It is okay to admit that Bernie was helped by blatant propaganda creeps like Goodman — that is the KGOP way. Reality.

[RhodeIslandOne]

61. Did you read the thread?

He’s pretty proud of the fact he used Bernie as a wedge.

Does the fact I said he wasn’t legit register with you, or deep down is it because you got suckered some too?

[KPN]

64. Read the post and the tweet. No I did

not read the twitter thread. I don't do twitter.

Oh please ... deep down? That doesn't even deserve a response. Did you read my post? Apparently not.

[RhodeIslandOne]

75. I read it

HA HA Goodman for whatever reason supported Bernie.

People here lapped up his talking points because hey, he’s with Bernie.

Now we see he’s a fraud. Did all this hit too close to home for you? If not, why take it so personal?

Have a nice day.

[KPN]

82. There you go again with the

imagined reactions.

[R B Garr]

118. It is not imagined. It is your denial that is plain to see.

Russia investigation. That is very real, too. That is the ongoing investigation into how Russia helped Trump and Bernie to harm Hillary. HaHa was helping Bernie to harm Hillary. Reality.

[Blue_true]

91. You didn't answer the question that was posed to you.

Did you or did you not get suckered?

[KPN]

117. You didn't ask the question. What is it with you folks? Anybody who supported

Bernie must be (1) a sucker, and (2) disloyal to the democratic party.

Seems to me that with folks who think that way, it's my way or the highway. Which gets you nothing with me and I suspect most people who think Bernie is pretty right on about things generally and is playing a valuable role.

[Blue_true]

121. Oh well.

I have other things to do.

[yardwork]

62. It's uncomfortable to face the truth, but we must do so.

Bernie Sanders was promoted by people and bots as part of a carefully orchestrated propaganda machine. The propaganda had a single goal: to install Donald Trump in the White House.

This will happen again until enough people are alert to the propaganda. We have to face what happened in order to make sure it doesn't happen again.

[KPN]

66. Face the truth? What, do you think

people here are idiots? Or do you just think those who support Bernie are idiots?

[R B Garr]

72. Those who support Bernie were targeted by these

propaganda trolls. Those are the indisputable facts. All it too was 75,000 nationally to turn against Democrats.

[Cha]

106. Well said, yardwork.. as hard as it may be. Thank Goodness

this Ha Goodman is exposed for the RF troll he is. Finally!

[ehrnst]

119. Indeed. (nt)

[stevenleser]

129. Unfortunately those that need to take this in are the most challenged when it comes to taking in

uncomfortable truths, particularly about anything regarding Bernie.

[pnwmom]

99. Most of the HA Goodman columns posted here were promoting Bernie.

People should never be duped by HA Goodman again, even when he's promoting a Democratic candidate, now that he has proven where his real allegiance lies.

[JackInGreen]

102. They feel a need to keep reburying

The primary. They don't just beat the dead horse, they put it in leather gear on a bondage cross and march it around.

[honest.abe]

55. I hope those duped by this charlatan have learned something.

Because its likely to happen again.

[comradebillyboy]

70. I wonder who HaHa will support in the 2020 Dem primaries.

I don't think it will be Booker or Harris

[RhodeIslandOne]

78. Probably Dennis Kucinich

And Rand Paul in the GOP primaries

HA HA fails again

[Cha]

110. Mahalo for exposing him, RhodeIslandOne!

Many Dems were on to his fishiness in the beginning.

Link to tweet

[RhodeIslandOne]

112. He exposed himself

However it was fairly obvious to any sane person that going from supporting Rand Paul to Bernie was total bullshit.

[Cha]

113. Right.. well Thanks for bringing it on

board DU.

[honest.abe]

84. Could be Bernie again or some other Independent Progressive type that will split the vote.

Anything to help the GOP.

[Cha]

111. HaHa's prediction about the Dem Party back on March 22, 2018

Link to tweet

[comradebillyboy]

115. Maybe I am wearing rose colored glasses but it looks

to me like the repukes self destructing. When Muller shows Trump to be no better than a common gangster maybe people will open their eyes.

[Cha]

116. It's not us that are going

to "implode". He's an idiot.

[Blue_true]

92. Some clearly learned nothing. nt

[Hav]

81. He's such a bitter fool

In another response to this tweet he openly admits that this (voting for Repubs and fighting against Democrats) is only about revenge because of Bernie. I can't tell if he's still honestly pissed that his guy couldn't win or whether he's just an actor.

[NurseJackie]

103. He's the darling of JPR

[JackInGreen]

104. Shit, I was late

For the two minute Bernie hate. Any of you fine citizens still have any rotten fruit?

Civilized discourse my ass.

[RhodeIslandOne]

108. Youre free to shit on HA HA Goodman

But I noticed you deflected on that.

[stonecutter357]

107. I have had lots of post hidden because of Ha Ha Goodman !

[Adrahil]

120. His posts about Bernie WOULD win the nomination...

... were constantly posted here and supported by a segment of the forum population. Some of those folks ar still posting Bernie fluffer threads.

[Blue_Tires]

122. I've been telling folks about Goodman for two years at least...

Of course we're not allowed to ever point out just how many of Bernie's most vocal advocates sound just like Goodman..

I also don't have to tell you how many times he's been re-tweeted by one Glenn Motherfucking Greenwald.

[stevenleser]

130. Yep, so many of us were right about Goodman from day 1.

And other idiotic shills like Greenwald.
