Deja vu all over again

[Nanjeanne]

So Clinton doesn't like the so-called Bernie Bros. it seemed so familiar to me that I had to look into it. And guess what? Same tactics 2008. Poor Hillary. Obama supporters give her no respect. "Hey Obama boys - Back off".

She really is just going back to the same old playbook.

1. I was literally just coming over to post this

It's literally the same arguments being used against Bernie Sanders in 2016 as was used against Barack Obama in 2008.

2. And Bernie doesn't have a play book.

Answer to anything regarding foreign policy... I voted no on IWR, vote for me.

Where did we hear that before, as a reason to disqualify her from the presidency? 2008 anybody?? And then the people who fell for it then are now falling for it again!

4. I've found a lot of similarities to her campaign in 2008

Sadly, none of them are good

5. I believe the Bernie bro crap is mostly manufactured

From the article.

I began reporting this story in part because, as a 32-year-old woman who is more liberal than either candidate, and who was quite torn until Super Tuesday, I had found myself increasingly defensive of Clinton in the face of the Obama worship that rules the mostly white, liberal, well-educated circles in which I work and travel. I was confused by the saucer-eyed, unquestioning devotion shown by my formerly cynical cohorts, especially when it was accompanied, as it often was, by a sharp renunciation of Hillary Clinton, whose policies are so similar to her opponent’s. I was horrified by the frequent proclamations that if Obama did not win the nomination, his supporters would abstain from voting in the general election, or even vote for John McCain. I was suspicious of the cultlike commitment to an undeniably brilliant and inspiring man –- but one whom even his wife calls “just a man.”

6. I'm quite suspicious myself

The Internet is an anonymous place and anyone can pretend to be anything. I distrust Clinton and dislike Brock so much that nothing would surprise me coming from her campaign. Whether I'm completely wrong or not-- just the idea that I believe her campaign can be instigating this shows there's a big problem in trust for me.

8. It's the same playbook

Literally the same lines. It's like she only has one campaign cheat sheet and uses it no matter who the opponent is. That's why it's going to be very interesting to see the rhetoric coming from both Hillary and her surrogates in the days leading up to the South Carolina Primary, especially if Nevada goes to Bernie.
