Sanders supporter publishes “hit list” of superdelegates

A supporter of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has published a “hit list” of Democratic super delegates, which includes the apparent home addresses of several superdelegates, including at least one woman. (Thayer is now claiming that he’s not a Sanders supporter — his Twitter feed suggests otherwise. More on that at the end of this story.)

The Sanders supporter, Spencer ThⒶyer — who uses the anarchist symbol to spell his name — is is urging fellow Sanders supporters to “harass” Hillary Clinton’s superdelegates, in order to get them to change their vote to Bernie Sanders.

The site, called “The Superdelegate Hit List,” includes the names, addresses, phone numbers, and social media accounts of the Democratic super delegates.

Anarchists don't support political candidates. They do take advantage of fluctuating situations to cause trouble.

Interview Highlights: Ari Weinzweig

How can you be a “lapsed anarchist” and run a successful $60 million-a-year business?

“There’s nothing in anarchism that’s opposed to organization. In fact, it’s in favor of organization because it helps people to get to greatness. The key is that it be freely chosen and that it’s not forced on people, and generally that it’s not hierarchical other than what’s appropriate.”

“Everybody, I believe, is a unique, creative and intelligent human being.”

This is one of your people...occupy Chicago guy...radio host too I think...He hates Clinton as many of you do. Now from what I have seen of you, you would not do such a thing...but don't blame the other side for this. As far as I can tell, and I went way back...he is a long term Bernie guy.

That's taking things way too far, however I'm not an idiot and think "Bernie Sanders did this!!!"

That being said, thanks for calling out the stupidity of that person.

and now has pronounced her less qualified for the Oval Office than Donald Trump and Pat Buchanan.

The same hypocritical jackasses who pretended to be concerned that Hillary would tear the party apart to satisfy her ... wait for it .. "personal ambition."

Sanders is an angry dishonest demagogue.

But, she's smart enough and responsible enough to know where that line is.

Probably because she's a Democrat and cares about the long term well-being of the party, as opposed to the third party impostor trying to tear the party apart.

She claims Reagan did the exact things they did not do, she claims those who very heroically did sound the alarms did nothing at all, Ron and Nancy did that. Not sure who she was pandering to with that crap if not Reagan lovers.

Of course her supporters on DU excused and defended that until they were blue in the face.

Something not possible for St. Bernard, the Sanctimoniously Pious, given his ego.

I hope he tries to hit Clinton on her charity, given what's in his oppo file.

And who gives a shit about party branding? It's a shallow concern in comparison to actual issues, the political equivalent of sports cheerleading.

I wouldn't like to imagine what she'd do if a Bernie Brigade member decided to take her on.

He is an occupy Chicago guy and ...he is a Bernie supporter:says he is and no reason to doubt him that I can find. He published the information about supers...name, phone, email even and addresses. I think this is wrong in so many ways.

Lets the BS supporters swarm those SD's. They are clam and polite and can clearly without offense state their case (not). I'm sure it will work out just great.
