Steve Leser joins the ranks of John Lewis and Dolores Huerta.

[DanTex]

I didn't realize it was possible to motivate this much hatred from Bernie fans without being a civil rights legend.

Hey, Steve, are you, like, related to Nelson Mandela or Ghandi or something?

You're obviously doing something right, keep it up!

[bobbobbins01]

1. I don't know the Steve Leser story.

What did he lie about?

[baldguy]

2. Just two lines for you to admit ignorance, prove the OP's point, & show just how weak your side is.

[bobbobbins01]

8. Oh look, you again.

Still making up stories and talking shit, I see. Don't ever change.

[AgingAmerican]

21. Transparency tells the true tale

Of which side is weak

[baldguy]

33. Weak is when one side hides posts when they contain reasonable arguments

And when the same side allows posts to stand with outrageous RW lies.

[AgingAmerican]

36. Weak is lack of decorum

And self control AND blaming others for your own misbehavior.

[baldguy]

37. "Lack of decorum" being defined as not being 100% in lock-step agreement with you

And to hell with what's best for the country or the party.

IOW, what the rest of the world knows as "truth".

[AgingAmerican]

43. Lack of decorum is typing things that get you hides

Many, many, Clinton supporters disagree every day but manage not to get hides. Go figure...

[baldguy]

45. See my previous post.

There's a reason BS hides are called BS hides.

[Rob H.]

57. Amnesty for vacationing posters

...wasn't a laugh-out-loud stupid idea at all, was it?

[hobbit709]

3. Did you say the same about him in 2008?

Funny how some vitriolic Hillary haters in 2008 are now rabid Hillary fans in 2016.

[panader0]

49. There's one right below--

[Cha]

4. Steve Leser in Awesome company!

And, so are you, DanTex~

[Surya Gayatri]

5. Badge of Honor awarded to Mr. Leser for valor above and beyond the call of duty:

[beedle]

6. Oh shit Dan

Do you not check into the background of this person?

Check his blog, he has lots of nice juicy stuff about your hero Hillary.

I'm guessing "Mandela" would be amused by the comparison.

[betsuni]

7. I wish those obsessed with Steve would just ask him out or propose or something.

Request an autographed photo? This is getting embarrassing.

[ismnotwasm]

11. Heh!

Very true...

[stevenleser]

19. I would feel flattered, except all you need to earn that attention is to criticize Sanders.

And the obsessive stalking will commence. Just ask Howard Dean or Krugman or...

[panader0]

54. So let's add Howard Dean and Paul Krugman

To John Lewis and Ghandi (sic) and Mandela. Think pretty highly of yourself doncha?

[stevenleser]

9. Lol, No but I might be distantly related to Rep Charles Rangel. I have Rangel's in my family

Who descend from the area of the Caribbean that his family is from IIRC.

Speaking of Charlie Rangel, another awesome Hillary supporter.

Uh oh, now Sanders supporters are going to data mine everything he has said in an effort to attack him!

Edited to add, my mothers mothers maiden name is Perigault and the Perigault family has a tree up here http://www.perigault.com . My mothers mothers family line is Perigault Moreno but there are Perigault Rangel's as you can see in the site.

[RashaMZak]

12. Charlie "Ethics Violation" Rangel?

People like him are poster boys for the corruption from within. Democrat or Republican, anyone with his record of ethics violations should not still be in office.

[Dem2]

20. New poster attacking Democrats

that never happens.

[panader0]

51. Is it true or not? Everyone was new once. Now answer my question.

[Dem2]

60. I know of all the attacks one can make on Democrats

I leave that to Republicans to make.

[panader0]

61. Look, the republicans have the same access to the internet as we Democrats do.

That is why we Bernie supporters want the BEST candidate we can field.
Hillary has much too much baggage and the R's will bring out things that would get me banned
if I posted them here.

[Dem2]

62. Savage Hillary and other random Democrats who are voting for her 'till your hearts content

I don't attack Democrats, personal decision.

I have to deal with plenty of Republican trolls doing it, I will not do it.

[bvf]

13. Mmph!

My mothers mothers family line is Perigault Moreno but there are Perigault Rangel's as you can see in the site.

Yeah, we'll get right on that. Hope the site can handle all the demand.

[Major Hogwash]

41. Are you from the Carribean?

I thought you were born in the U.S., in Florida.

[stevenleser]

42. My mother is from Panama with heritage from the Caribbean among others. nt

[azurnoir]

10. ....

[Sheepshank]

14. I just don't understand the ugly swarming out of the blue

...I take that back, I do understand and the agenda is disgusting.

[bvf]

15. Look at it this way:

You and Leser have as many hides between the two of you as the current number of replies in this thread.

[stevenleser]

16. And many Sanders supporters have more. The difference is, its much harder for

a Sanders supporter to get a post hidden.

[bvf]

24. A thoroughgoing data analysis from you would be appreciated.

Short of that, it's simply more of your expected, unsubstantiated blather.

Struck a nerve, apparently.


P.S.

You've got work to do if you're going for the record, but take heart: you're more than half way there.

[sheshe2]

34. What happened to your Sig line????

Thank you Skinner and EarlG for responding so quickly.

[bvf]

46. I guess the management

was too embarrassed by the reminder that a certain DU user who has expressed blatant antisemitic sentiments (and even retracted her apology here for having done so) still hasn't been banned from DU.

Apparently a small but vocal contingent of her supporters hereabouts was similarly (and correctly) embarrassed, and, rather than addressing the problem, resorted to shooting (at) the messenger by whining about the reminder.

It says a lot.

[Rob H.]

58. "It says a lot."

It does, and nothing good.

[Bobbie Jo]

25. Calling someone out

on their hides around here is really silly considering how they're handed out.

The jury system has become a handy dandy tool for shutting people down, and you know it. Skinner
knows it too and that's why he did away with the time-out nonsense. Remember, he can see who is doing this.

People who consistently make note of how many HIDES one has accumulated tells me that they're more interested in game playing and gossip than anything else.

[sheshe2]

40. Did you see their sig line?

Gone now. I alerted.

[Bobbie Jo]

44. Nope

Im on my phone so I can't see them.

Sounds like a real winner, glad it's gone.

[bvf]

47. No.

Calling attention to people's hides is a perfectly good way of noting their habit of posting hide-worthy--often disgusting and hateful--crap.

Your comment about the admins being able to see who is doing what isn't news to anyone, btw. Anyone who wasn't already aware of that fact should probably steer clear of web-based discussion forums entirely.

[Bobbie Jo]

55. Everyone knows how this works.

One of the most disgusting posts I have ever seen here - or anywhere for that matter - was left to stand in all its glory. No, the enabling and alert stalking that goes on here is public knowledge.

We all know how this works.

[bvf]

63. Well...

One of the most disgusting posts I have ever seen here - or anywhere for that matter - was left to stand in all its glory.

Hyperbole.

I can easily produce a link to something more disgusting than anything ever allowed to stand here. Just ask. It was written by a DU member with a certain following who will most likely be given yet another pass by the admins. Time will tell. I honestly hope to be shown wrong, but if history is any guide, I won't be.

Ever been on usenet, btw? Not that I'm suggesting our little sandbox here should operate in the same wild-west fashion, but given the excerpted text above, I can guess the answer.

[TSIAS]

64. I don't know how she got away with that

I guess DU has certain posters who are sacred cows. My guess is that her throng of supporters constantly harass the Admins, so it's just easier to let her continue to bloviate without repercussions.

[bvf]

65. No doubt. n/t

[Sheepshank]

29. most of those thin skinned bullshit hides..the Bernie swarming and alert stalking on full display

[frylock]

17. Civil rights icon, Steven Leser.

22. Comparing a third rate pundit to civil rights icons? Ouch, that must've hurt!

[panader0]

50. Dan Tex invites Steve to the Vatican!!

[beam me up scottie]

52. The world gasps in awe at the news!!! Girls swoon, pundits seethe with jealousy!

Millions hang on every word!

[Go Vols]

56. lol

[melman]

23. You mean the ranks of people Hillary fans pretend to care about?

[Squinch]

26. Wow! Steve must be having a GREAT time under that bus. There are some AMAZING people

down there.

I wish I could get tossed under the berniebro bus!

[RufusTFirefly]

28. And speaking of offensive comparisons

During an interview on the National Public Radio show Fresh Air, Grover Norquist compared the estate tax to the Holocaust claiming that it is just as immoral as genocide, because both target only a minority of the population.

TERRY GROSS: So you see taxes as being the way they are now terrible discrimination against the wealthy comparable to the kind of discrimination of, say, the Holocaust?

NORQUIST: Well, what you pick -- you can use different rhetoric or different points for different purposes, and I would argue that those who say, 'Don't let this bother you; I'm only doing it' -- I, the government. The government is only doing it to a small percentage of the population. That is very wrong. And it's immoral. They should treat everybody the same. They shouldn't be shooting anyone, and they shouldn't be taking half of anybody's income or wealth when they die.

And here's another classic example that immediately springs to mind:

30. YAY!

[Goblinmonger]

31. NewsMax

I mean, seriously

[Rob H.]

35. But the shows he's on are watched by millions!

...of gullible morons who'll believe anything they're told as long as it's said in a soothing voice.

[nichomachus]

32. You mean the guy who said Hillary was a liar

And shouldn't be the Democratic nominee? That Steve Leser?

[panader0]

53. Steve "Weathervane" Leser--that Steve Leser.

[SheenaR]

39. I don't know what happened

But by including him with the other two, Steven must have lied about something. Thanks for bringing this to our attention Dan.

[panader0]

48. Did you mean Gandhi?

Was he a Hillary hater too? Like Steve a few years ago?

[Bluenorthwest]

59. The OP, DanTex, was also a 2008 Hillary hater, he and leser have said far worse about her than

I have. I just quote her. They denigrated her for months.
