Please do not fall for GOP Interlopers Posing as Bernie Supporters

[LaydeeBug]

Remember the angry mob in Florida, circa 2000? Each and every one of them were paid GOP staffers. EVERY. ONE. OF. THEM.

Now something *very* similar is taking place. Bernie isn't taking the bait, and we should give his real people more credit than that.

1. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Spot on! Nt

2. Your safest bet is to assume they're Trumpanzees

or Russian trolls.

3. They're DELEGATES.

Inside the convention, chanting LOCK HER UP at delegate breakfasts. Bernie delegates have booed Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Lee INSIDE the convention.

They HAVE to be Democratic party members to be delegates. Unless they're playing a VERY long con, these are in fact Bernie supporters.

6. You don't have to be registered Democrats to be delegates

from at least some of the caucus states and open primary states.

10. There appears to be too many of them to be from caucus states alone. nt

14. There were only 13 closed primaries and 10 closed caucuses.

4. Nope, they are Bernie supporters...there is a fringe group of goons he

has attracted and they pull this sh*t a lot.

5. I haven't fell for it yet.

The difference is not hard to spot anywhere they may be congregating. Sometimes I don't even have to go anywhere yo spot them.

7. As a veteran from the 60's and 70's Chicano civil rights and anti war movement

I can personally attest to undercover cops provoking violence and speaking on TV acting like fools to discredit the movement.
I was pulled over by the LAPD with some friends and the a cop who had being undercover pretended to treat me like I was some confident informant. Then a few days later he picked me up near my school Los Angeles City College and took me to a local dough nut shop and of course we were giving free coffee and dough nuts. Trying to recruit me. Later that week, I went to the dough nut shop ordered and then was told I did not have to pay and winked at me. So I got to have free dough nuts and coffee for the rest of my time at LACC thanks to the LAPD
True story
I was part of the Los Angeles Moratorium Committee.

I was at both marches and worked by going to schools and speaking.
Also a LACC Mecha member.

8. Welcome to DU. I really look forward to learning from you, if you care ths share

9. I've been saying this for a year. Paid Hillary haters and paid Bernie haters.

[JSup]

11. +1 and...

...really, stop calling them "Bernie supporters". If they're actively and intentionally working against him they are not Bernie supporters.

[Codeine]

12. Oh baloney.

They're delegates.

[geek tragedy]

13. these are Green Party trolls--Nader/McKinney/Stein types.

Not Republican enemies, but enemies nevertheless.

They impersonated Democrats in order to get convention credentials. Something needs to be done about that in the future such that the enemy doesn't get inside the gates.
