The incident of antisemitism at the Apollo theater was not the first of the campaign

[Fumesucker]

I saw in another thread someone claiming that the Apollo incident was the first of the campaign, that is not so.

Diane Rehm sandbagged Senator Sanders on her radio show by stating that he holds dual citizenship with Israel, a classic antisemitic trope, and then questioning his word when he told her that was not true. ("I have in my hand a list of names" which actually was every Jewish member of Congress)

It turned out that Ms Rehm's information she used to slime Senator Sanders came from a Facebook reply and she had not fact checked it, not exactly professional conduct from a national radio host, particularly a "liberal" one.

1. I heard that segment live while driving to work.

I almost swerved off the road into a ditch.

Whatever NPR may or may not have been, it is no longer..

3. I never heard a reasonable explanation for a national radio host being that clueless

Even totebaggers aren't all that stupid..

2. "I have in my hand an internet meme"

5. You or I and almost everyone here would know better than to drag that garbage into DU..

And Ms Rehm has a long existing "liberal" radio show.

The mind, it boggles.

6. Journalists should always remember the words of President Lincoln on internet memes.

4. Not the last, either unfortunately

Someone here claimed it was staged As if there is a need to that.
