BBC: Bern Supporters Gaining Nasty Online Reputation - Motown Bronco - 01-29-2016 08:40 AM

Misogyny and racism from socialists? Man, those artsy, hipster Millennials not so 'love-thy-neighbor' after all. War on women, indeed. 07-coffee3

Quote:About a half an hour later, she followed up with this: "Man, the Feel The Bern crew (as opposed to Bern himself) is such a drag. Say anything pro-Hil & they yell 'b*tch' & 'psycho.' V idealistic!"

Sexism is not the only bad behaviour demonstrated online by Sanders supporters - an ugly racial element has arisen, too.

"I've gotten everything from 'shill', 'paid infiltrator', to flat out having somebody actually call me a N***** in the midst of this," says Elon James White, CEO of This Week in Blackness, who has been critical of Mr Sanders' record on race.

"Misogyny and racism"

ah, the pillars of conservatism...

That's why it's news when leftists partake in the same. Goes against the stereotype of their owning the "kumbaya/enlightened" market.

when you look to an online comment section for news...guess what? it ain't news you're looking for.

Quick! Deflect to conservatives!

Sanders' sheep are really a bunch of vulgar, degenerate simpletons.

I'm not sure where anyone mentioned getting 'news' from commenters. Comment sections are cesspools.

The column illustrates the same accusations leveled at "teabaggers" could also be applied to Bernie supporters (some, not all, of course).

The type of insults used to describe Sarah Palin and now Hillary Clinton suggests that the right wing doesn't corner the market on sexist remarks, as the narrative usually goes. 20-year-old NYU creative writer major can have a mean streak too.

His support is strong among the immature. I am not surprised by this.

I'll vote for Bernie in the Democratic primary, but I don't deny there are scumbags in every walk of life. I recall Democrats calling George W. Bush "Chimpy" and worse. No reason for that. It's worse than middle school. On both sides.

In my estimation, the problem for conservatives and liberals is there's precious little high moral ground left to take. Both attack, both name call, both trivialize important issues and each has its fair share of know-it-all asshats.

RE: BBC: Bern Supporters Gaining Nasty Online Reputation - Motown Bronco - 01-29-2016 09:45 AM

^ Yep, agreed.

Sometimes I curse online social media and those comments sections. It's like a trainwreck that's sometimes hard to look away from. Since their inception, they've really displayed some people's dark, ugly side that was more hidden pre-2000.

RE: BBC: Bern Supporters Gaining Nasty Online Reputation - shiftyeagle - 01-29-2016 09:46 AM

As someone who doesn't like Clinton or Sanders, I can attest that the Sanders crowd is WAY WAY WAY more immature, vulgar, and sheepish.

Marsixst are scraey people when you get down to it.

Quote:In an interview from the 1982 documentary No Place To Hide that recently surfaced, Grathwohl discussed what the Weathermen intended to do after overthrowing the U.S. government, including what they would do with those Americans who refused to embrace communism.

I asked, "Well what is going to happen to those people we can't reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?" And the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated.
And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.

And when I say "eliminate," I mean "kill."

Twenty-five million people.

I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people.

And they were dead serious.
