Here is the quote:

I cannot stand him. His fans are racists who run around calling blacks racist and wonder why we hate him and them. I don't even LIKE Hillary but I will vote for her just so his fans can feel the sne BERN that they have been passing out.
Look at the racist comments here. I did not know jews hated us blacks so much. Good to know. I will return it in kind. There are so few of them It's a wonder they have the gall to think about being racist against blacks.

Bravenak, Frontpage Mag


By "him", I have to assume she means Bernie. By "his fans", ergo, she must mean Bernie's supporters. So she just called his "fans" racist and claimed they "run around calling blacks racist" and then says "we hate him and them."

Then she says "Look at the racist comments here." By "here", she is referring to fucking Frontpage Mag, run by one of the most extreme and vile right wingers out there, namely David fucking Horowitz. She extrapolates from the comments to say "I did not know jews hated us blacks so much" and promises "I will return it in kind." So now she is slandering all Jews and promising to hate them right back.

She spewed racism at Bernie and his supporters and Jews in general, and you think she only needs to apologize to Jewish people? Well that *would* be a good start, true -- but I've not seen it yet. Not holding my breath.

I also have to wonder how brave(?)nak found herself at the Frontpage Mag site. Did she go looking for nasty comments from Jews? If so, she found exactly what she was looking for, namely David Horowitz, who is indeed Jewish and who is indeed full of hateful commentary. Thing is, though, he is the FARTHEST THING from Bernie Sanders that exists politically, apart from an outright Nazi, and the people who frequent that site most certainly are not Sanders supporters.

No, brave(?)nak shot herself in her own foot with that little gem, and she won't live it down until she makes a sincere apology to those who she directed her remarks at, and until she stops being a grenade thrower around DU, at least not if I can help it. And again: not holding my breath for either of those things to happen.
