the Clinton Times leads its Best Comments of the week with a HIllbot propaganda comment

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/05/nytnow/no-grace-in-defeat-our-best-comments-of-the-week.html

"No Grace In Defeat" And the meme that Sanders' supporters are racist etc.

Really nauseous.

Every time I think the Times can't wreck more of its former reputation, it goes lower.

This, Bill getting away with blatant interfering with the vote at four Massachusetts polling places, etc. If Hillary does get the nomination, and I think that is by no means certain, let's see how they like losing the general.

It's not just HRC supporters here that try to tell folks the nastiness is hurting both Bernie and Hillary. Other people watch social media too.

So you are saying we shouldn't mention crap that Hillary supporters engage in, and the MSM? If people don't like their rubbish being exposed, they shouldn't do it.

There's no way that the consistent dirty tricks of the Clintons hurt Bernie's reputation.

I wonder if you might like to edit "hillbot" out of your post.

Fair warning.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Hillbot is a RW term. the use of bernbots was hidden 6-1 yesterday -- shouldn't this be hidden today?

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Mar 5, 2016, 06:43 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I've seen the Bernie Bros garbage narrative perpetuated all over DU. If Bernie supporters can live with that, then HRC supporters can live with "Hillbots."
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: It should be hidden precisely for the reason that the alerter said. 'Nuff said.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Over the top.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
