Uh oh. I forgot about the Bill Clinton Dust up with BLM vs. Sanders handling of an anti-Semite

I know I'm pretty dense at times, but I didn't get why Hillary Clinton supporters were so mad about this post:

I said nothing about her, or actually, his campaign, just pointed out that he shut down a bigot.

Finally, 98 posts in, I got what made them so pissed. It happened around the same time that Bill Clinton excoriated a BLM supporter, and claimed they supported 13 year olds hopped up on crack.

Compared to Bernie's response to an obvious anti-Semitic trope, that doesn't look too good for Hillary's side of the fence, does it?

I didn't realize how many asses I was chapping with that. I just thought it was a cool moment that showed how calmly he discusses issues.

Especially considering that Clinton's protesters had a pretty good point, and the Sanders protest was a racial conspiracy.

Then it made me wonder.

I sincerely did not make that correlation - it just happened.
