This a new low, a Clinton supporter has compared Bernie Sanders and his supporters to Chairman Mao and the Cultural Revolution. Clinton supporters complain about being attacked, but one of them post one of the most low example of red baiting I have ever seen.

[villager]

1. Posters here have been setting a new bar for "graceless victors...." nt

[roguevalley]

42. but they sniveling loudly for any offense

To their queen.

[yuiyoshida]

45. heh...

Nihao ma! (yeah, that means, how are you feeling, in Mandarin!)

[villager]

47. You mean... now that we're all Maoists?

[yuiyoshida]

51. Learning mandarin might be fun..

Wǒ huì dǎ wán wúdānshān~ I will kick dow Wudan Mountain! (from crouching tiger, hidden dragon!)我会打完吴丹山

[Ed Suspicious]

2. A.sid tongued fools put this crap in their sig line.

They will rue the day.

[artislife]

58. That poster is not the brightest bulb. nt

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

3. Oh good grief.

And over claims that WE are 'trying to destroy' two cultural icons.

Here's a hint. They're doing it to themselves. We didn't place the lies in their mouths.

ETA: Just remembered what this reminds me of. The Bush regime claiming that whistleblowers leaking photos of abuse at Abu Ghraib 'endangers Americans' and 'inflames terrorism'. No, you jackasses. The ABUSE, the MURDER, the TORTURE at Abu Ghraib 'endangers Americans' and 'inflames terrorism'. Not the fact that somebody called you on that abuse.

[ReallyIAmAnOptimist]

60. Thank you!

Good grief!

[warrprayer]

4. Anymore

I just laugh at them.
They aren't worth my outrage.

[Lucky Luciano]

25. If it was a laughing Mao in the picture, it would be just too perfect! Good one either way! nt

[warrprayer]

32. I had one

But when I posted it, it didn't work.
Thanks!

[Rebkeh]

5. We knew this stuff was coming

It won't stick.

[TBF]

6. I think there is A LOT of right wing action on this board -

and some very nasty truths are coming out. I believe that Hillary will do whatever it takes to get this nomination, but I think she's having some help from the right wing as well.

[sarge43]

11. Because they know that either they'll take her to the cleaners in the GE or

or, if she makes it back to the WH, she'll roll for them like a made in China Wal-Mart rug.

[MissDeeds]

37. I think so too

For a board that was thought to have a majority of Bernie supporters, there sure are a lot of anti- Bernie attacks/posts lately. It got more pronounced after his big NH win.

[malletgirl02]

44. I didn't intend my post to be an attack on Sanders

I wanted to let Sanders supporters know what was going on on on the General discussion thread. The thread that I posted about made me angry and I had to vent. I wasn't intending on trolling.

[Voice for Peace]

56. Thanks... I was a little flabbergasted in that thread

Something I said was attributed to Mao

[JimDandy]

55. You might have the same collection of monikers that I do!

I've been here 10 years, so I'm familiar with a large number of posters here who are pro-business, pro-banks, pro-big oil, pro-trade agreements, pro-mandatory health insurance, pro-charter schools, pro-police, pro-authoritarian, pro-tiny houses etc. and who also never post in favor of unions, prison reform, public schools, employee pensions, personal privacy, public transportation, universal single payer health care, minimum wage, tenant rights, rent controls or any other poor or middle class economic policy on the Democratic platform. It must be awful to be them and having to walk that very fine line in order to post here. And of those that have self identified the candidate they support...yup, all of them are Clinton supporters. Quelle surprise

[TBF]

61. I have the worst dozen or so

on ignore all the time. Of course I've had to add to that list substantially during this primary season in order to read this site without throwing things at it.

[noretreatnosurrender]

7. Not Worth My Time

Those kind of silly threads reflect more on the person posting them then on anyone else. It's just not worth my time to engage with people who are so clueless.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

8. Berniesanders.com campaign needs to play her at her own game

This is easy where policy is concerned. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

[PatrickforO]

9. Chairman Mao???????????????????

I guess we Bernie Bros will have to get some of those funny collarless silk coats.

[frylock]

46. ..

[Spitfire of ATJ]

59. ...

[merrily]

10. Is it really a new low? There's probably been lower.

[malletgirl02]

12. To me it was a new low

I'm not aware of all the Clinton Smears against Sanders. However I thought comparing Bernie Supporters to those who took part in the Cultural Revolution in China was low given the consequences of the Cultural Revolution in China. That Clinton supporter is comparing Sanders supporters to people who killed and jailed people. That is why I felt it was a new low.

[merrily]

15. Oh, it's low, all right.

[LiberalElite]

18. well, you know, socialist, communist, whatever it's all the same (to them) -

They feel very very threatened by Bernie. Poor things.

[appalachiablue]

48. Some folks always think revolution means communist Russia and China,

an authoritarian country half a world away where US businesses decided to send our factories and jobs.

What about the 'revolutions' of Reagan, Thatcher and Newt?

Makes you wonder if they realize that Tom Paine, TJ, GW,BF, Madison, Monroe and many others were 'revolutionaries' who built and fought for our democracy during the American Revolution and the creation of the United States.

Chairman Mao, what a waste-

[djean111]

30. I have no doubt that they will get as low as the Marianas Trench.

Weirdly fascinating to watch, really.

[merrily]

31. Well

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1280&pid=123112

I just love the juror who pretended the alert was alert stalking, don't you?

[djean111]

33. I am still boggled by the unexpected and clever playing of the Genocide Card.

Ya don't see that one snapped down on the table very often!

Clever, because the first reaction is what the fuck??????
And unexpected because 'genocide" implies that, um, Hillary is a group of one, or something like that?

[merrily]

34. Genocide. Jew. WASP. ok.

[djean111]

36. You forgot "Psychopath". :-)

Gee, in days of yore, the weirdest insult was "you don't support Hillary because you have mommy issues", or something like that.
Now, it is like watching drunk people playing mad-libs.

[merrily]

40. To be fair

some drunks are fun.

[appalachiablue]

50. The sick slam at Bernie, son of a Polish immigrant father, as 'anti-immigrant'.

[wendylaroux]

13. I don't care if it's chairman mao,i just don't

want to talk with him now.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

14. I've increasingly found the Mrs. 1% posters here to be as nasty as her.

Today I trash canned the Hillary group and my ignore list is really long. I don't know if the problem is paid trolls or what but the diologue has just gotton toxic. It started with the alert trolls and reached a point where DU is no longer readable without considered editing. I've been here since early 2001, and been involved in politics since the civil rights movement and I have NEVER seen anything like the current Presidential season. I am having difficulty telling the difference between the tea bangers and the Hillary bots. Facts don't matter. They just make shit up and throw it at the wall to see what sticks, then call it "just politics"". A sad state for our country.

P.s. Fuck spell check! I've had to edit this post several times to fix shit.

[merrily]

And that's just since I got on the board this evening.

[LiberalElite]

16. None of them would know a real revolution

if it kicked them in the head. Perhaps what differentiates them vs. us is we are more activist than they are.

[appalachiablue]

53. +1

[Dragonfli]

17. Damn you Sanders' campaign! You never sent me my little red book in the mail.

Now I feel left out

[MissDeeds]

19. They spew this crap

and think we'll support her in the GE if, god forbid, she "wins" the nomination? Insult us, lie to us, slime our good and ethical candidate, and then vote for her?

Yeah, that's going to happen.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Calling out a fellow DUer and attacking them personally is a no no on DU. Please hide.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Feb 21, 2016, 04:24 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alerts are getting ridiculous now.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: AHEM - PROTECTED GROUP! Why bother trolling a protected group?
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: The DUer this poster called out posted in GDP. This poster can address that DUer in that GDP post if they find that post so offense. Calling out a Hillary supporter in the Bernie Group, where that Hillary supporter can't post and defend herself, is cowardly and ridiculous.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nope, sorry alerter - no dice. I'm sick and tired of the red baiting. You want us to stop calling it out stop using that tactic.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: They posted their opinion. Doesn't really seem like a personal attack to me, or otherwise inappropriate.

[malletgirl02]

41. Thanks for the heads up.

As for juror #5 who called me cowardly I actually responded to the original thread before I posted this one. Also I did not intend to troll. I was just mad that Bernie Sanders supporters were being compared to the Red Guard of the Cultural Revolution, and I had to vent.

[merrily]

22. Didn't take long.

[Bluenorthwest]

26. Unreal. This is being said on the behalf of a candidate who fully dehumanized LGBT by saying

God the Creator finds us unworthy of equal rights. There are hundreds of attacks on LGBT in the US each year, inspired by those who strip us of or dignity in their quests for political or financial gain.

[merrily]

28. I could not agree more.

I've been religious on and off. When I was, I went with the bits about loving your neighbor and not judging.

Which bits of the Bible choose to cling to and which to disregard says a lot about them.

Being ugly is one thing. Being ugly and blaming it on God is a whole other thing.

[leftcoastmountains]

29. Yeah well they are a bunch of Republicans!

Them and Hillary's horse she rode in on.
I posted a Thom Hartmann video over in GD-P which I rarely do.
The comments were just silly from the Hill people. I thought why
does anyone spend any time here?

[HooptieWagon]

39. They are indistinguishable to me from Republicans...

...the hopelessly immature, James O'Keefe/backwards 'B' girl faction of the party. I don't think their psyches ever evolved after junior high.

[pinebox]

35. Pathetic

It's hilarious that when you confront them on issues, it's like this;

[Turbineguy]

38. Let's go low

The GOP needs all the help it can get.

[Feeling the Bern]

43. I guess Bernie supporters are the new Red Guard? He supports and sanctions struggle sessions?

He made a little red book outlining his ideas and quotations.

His wife, and three others, are leading a huge campaign to discredit and destroy opponents.

I even heard Bernie say: "Those who want to suicide, do not attempt to save them. The US is such a populous country. It's not like we can do without a few souls."

Unbelievable.

[humbled_opinion]

49. Yep her campaign sure

seems presidential to me.... Wait till Donald Trump exposes the recording of her Goldman Sachs speech in the GE that right there is going to piss a lot of Bernie supporters....

[malletgirl02]

57. Original thread

I see that Hillary supporters in the original thread in General Discussion Primary are calling me out for posting this in a protected message board. First I responded to the original post before I posted this one. Secondly they are saying I misrepresented the original post, and that I have no sense of history There is no misrepresentation. It is as clear as day that a Bernie Sanders supporters were being unfairly compared to members of the Cultural Revolution's Red Guard.
