You should see who is getting Bernie swarmed!

Could Senator Warren call this a 'special place in hell'?

Good job, bros!

[Dr Hobbitstein]

1. Holy fuck, they're on EVERY. SINGLE. THING. she posts.

Completely unrelated swarming. What assholes.

[Historic NY]

2. Unbelieveable........

I seen posts that the hope Hillary loses then they can run her in 2020. She'd be 70 then.

[BlueCaliDem]

3. DAYUM! The Berners are begging for her endorsement on EVERY SINGLE POST.

The poor woman is being browbeaten into supporting Bernie.

Maybe I've missed them, but have any Hillary supporters done any of that??

[yallerdawg]

4. I don't see any Hillary supporters doing that.

Some sympathetic posters who express shock?

[BlueCaliDem]

8. Me, either, but there are at least 288+ in that first post and I don't intend to read each and every

response, so I might have missed one or two.

It's astounding - and I'm wondering if they're really Bernie supporters or Dems, for that matter. They sound like Libertarians, Naderites, and Greens - with an occasional Repub tossed in.

[Rose Siding]

9. I wrote to her a while back

But nothing not in a 'last chance end of our country as we know it'

More about how I was enthusiastic about supporting Hillary and how a quickly united front would make us stronger in the ge. I thanked her for encouraging Hillary to run along with all the other women Senators.

[yallerdawg]

12. There's one!

In statistical analysis of Senator Warren's Facebook page, you might be called an anomaly!

[Rose Siding]

15. Oh I didn't do it there!

I sent an actual letter.

[yallerdawg]

19. OMG!

Old school!!! I bet she read your letter!

Monday may be very interesting regarding Massachusetts!

Real 'letters' carry a lot of weight with politicians! What if yours did the trick?

[BlueCaliDem]

20. Wow! Snail-mail! Now *that* takes dedication these days, rather than posting a quick

reply on FB or a message in 140 characters or less.

Good for you, Rose!

But I believe Warren will come out and support Hillary Clinton - but not in the primaries. She'll endorse afterward and when Hillary wins MA.

[ismnotwasm]

5. Jesus

That would piss me off

[charlyvi]

6. If she endorsed Hillary

they would turn on a dime against her.

[DesertRat]

13. Yes, just like they did to Sen. Franken

[yallerdawg]

23. Have they ever met...

a Democrat they liked?

[charlyvi]

27. Nope. Once you put a label on it, it becomes "Establishment".

[BooScout]

7. OMG!

[BlueCaliDem]

21. Same here, BooScout. I was totally

[DesertRat]

10. That's just insane!

They are showing such desperation! I can't imagine what Wednesday morning will be like for them.

[MSMITH33156]

11. I'm not even sure

what they're thinking?

I really respect Elizabeth Warren, but the demographic she appeals to is the same one that Bernie Sanders does. What do they even think her endorsement would do? Sure up Massachusetts?

Her endorsement will carry a lot more weight when her and Sanders endorse Hillary, since they represent a different constituency.

[Rose Siding]

14. Oh ffs, *Especially* ironic and inappropriate on the post about the JFK library

I'll bet not one of them know how ol' BS felt about JFK

[still_one]

16. The spamming of PP, Naral, Al Franken, John Lewis, and anyone who endorses Hillary is bad enough,

now they are brow beating people who don't want to get into the political fray and endorse someone, and they wonder why Bernie lost in most demographic groups by so much in South Carolina.

If these supporters think they are helping Sanders they will be sadly mistaken as they turn more and more people away from their bullying tactics.

[DavidDvorkin]

17. God, they're obnoxious.

[Starry Messenger]

18. Feeling that bern.

Sorry Senator.

[KitSileya]

22. Wow, that shows that GamerGate spirit indeed!

I was one of the voices on DU who argued that we respect Senator Warren's no on running for the nomination, because it was a very ugly optic when they refused to accept her decision and wanted to pressure her into running, like a young would-be rapist with his prom date. And now they keep disregarding her will and opinion and want to keep hammering her until she cannot continue her regular routine, like posting and engaging with her constituents on facebook, to get her to endorse Sanders - it is such an archetypal example of rape culture in action.

[Ellen Forradalom]

41. Astute observation

Angry little keyboard warriors beating up a woman online. Same shit, different day.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

45. It's about ethics in Democratic primaries! nt

[yallerdawg]

56. Yes.

There are some deeply psychological issues related to Hillary's campaign.

Just as Obama's victory exposed the deep-seated racism, Hillary's campaign is exposing our inexplicable sexism and American cultural patriarchal society.

Because or despite - time for us to shatter that glass ceiling!

Then...

[George II]

24. I have an intuition - after her state votes on Monday (and hopefully Clinton wins)....

....she will finally come out with an endorsement for Clinton.

[yallerdawg]

28. When did Elizabeth Warren...

become a politician?

[charlyvi]

25. One guy told her that the Revolution was more important than her career!

That she must endorse Bernie, run as his VP, then they will elect her as President. My God! The arrogance of youth.

[OilemFirchen]

26. Picked at random:

I don't know what is wrong with you Senator Warren. I've lost all respect for you. You choked when it really matters Bernie is fighting the fight now. You are irrelevant.

Bye Felicia.

[jsmirman]

29. These read like abusive Nigerian Prince emails

I don't imagine that's helpful.

[brer cat]

30. Wow!

That is harassment! Way to go, bros; making her despise you really helps your candidate.

[KitSileya]

31. Has this been posted in GD: P? nt

[yallerdawg]

32. Oh, no.

That would be a whole 'nother swarm!

[KitSileya]

33. True dat! nt

[Cha]

42. lol

[KitSileya]

47. I took the leap and posted the issue in GD: P

I didn't attribute the discovery to you, as I figured you didn't want part of the swarm on you. I must say, this has really gotten to me, that they are treating Senator Warren like this, that I can't stop thinking about it. Stevenleser said in my thread that the best asset Hillary has for getting people to not support Sanders are the Sanders supporters. I am more and more convinced that he is right.

[yallerdawg]

53. Great!

[William769]

50. No shit!

[kjones]

34. Bizarre behavior. nt

[obamanut2012]

35. Good lord, even on posts that are personal

WHY would anyone do that?

[yallerdawg]

37. The only positive thing I see?

There aren't "millions and millions" of them!

Makes you wonder if it could be the same few prolific posters everywhere?

[obamanut2012]

43. hahaha yes

[Kang Colby]

36. Disgusting behavior. Please! Please! Please! Pretty Please!

We really, really, really want our free stuff!

It's pretty pathetic. Warren knows the inner workings of the equity markets almost as well as anyone, and she knows Bernie's proposals are bogus. Why would she want to endorse that nonsense?

[DemonGoddess]

38. WTH???

What is WRONG with these people?

[lolly]

39. They seem to see her as some sort of mascot

Every Sanders supporter I come across assumes, with absolute certainty, that she is in his corner. From that assumption, it's concluded that she is toying with people (yes, rape culture-y, as above mentioned) or that she is terrified of the all-powerful Clinton Machine--a damsel in distress who needs to be rescued by Bernie and his supporters.

Never occurs to them that she might be ambivalent, or might support each one for different reasons.

Let's not even consider the possibility that she might (gasp!) lean towards Clinton.

And yes, if she were to endorse Clinton, the rage would go off the internet meter.

[yallerdawg]

40. Hillary is spending a lot of Monday in Massachusetts.

I wonder if the "she's" know something we don't?

[Agschmid]

44. Her endorsement would have won him Mass.

It's telling that she didn't do it... But it is her choice.

[Cha]

52. No doubt. Wonder why she's not and did he ask her?

Mahalo, Agschmid

[Princess Turandot]

46. Uh-Oh....Liz is at risk of being eclipsed...

by Tulsi Gabbard....(I spared you the vid link.)

Check out this young, beautiful, upstart of a Democrat showing Elizabeth Warren how it's done by endorsing Bernie Sanders!!

As the hours pass, the comments are getting a wee more testy.

[oasis]

48. Super Tuesday draws near and the bullshit will end.

[Starry Messenger]

49. So much for all of that happy horseshit about any woman but Hillary.

The minute Warren didn't do as desired, she's dropped like a hot rock.

[misterhighwasted]

55. Imagine Super Tuesday..

[Starry Messenger]

58. It's going to be total insanity.

You know it is bad here when you read threads on reddit on the Sanders campaign and those seem level-headed.

[giftedgirl77]

51. Yet somehow they will try to cry victim out of this.

[Gothmog]

54. This will be sad to watch

CIVIL LIBERTIES
The Curious Islamophobic Politics of Dem Congressmember Tulsi Gabbard
Gabbard comes from one of the nation's most progressive chapters of the Democratic Party.

“Meet the Democrat Who’s Not Afraid to Criticize President Obama on ISIS,” intones a recent ABC News headline. The story describes remarks by Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D), who has for the past month been all over the media slamming Obama's refusal to directly associate ISIS and other terrorists with the Islamic faith.

She's particularly a favorite of right-wing media. Appearing with Fox's Neil Cavuto last week, she lashed out at the White House for holding an extremism summit with Muslim Americans, saying it's a “diversion from what our real focus needs to be. And that focus is on that Islamic extremist threat.” She criticized Obama for saying that “poverty, lack of access to jobs, lack of access to education” is contributing to radicalization. “They are not fueled by materialistic motivation, it's actually a theological, this radical Islamic ideology,” she said, throwing red meat to Fox viewers.

To the media, Gabbard is a curious spectacle. She's a Hawaii Democrat, coming from one of the nation's most progressive and dovish chapters of the Democratic Party, but she's also an Iraq war veteran, and she's consistently tried to outflank President Obama and the rest of her party to the right on foreign affairs. Last month she openly mocked Secretary of State John Kerry during an appearance on CNN, saying that he thinks that, "if we give them [Islamic extremists] $10,000 and give them a nice place to live that somehow they're not going to be engaged in this fighting."To Gabbard, the idea that Syria and Iraq have been through years of brutal civil war, wrecked economies, and massive displacement is irrelevant; the only reason they have an extremism problem is because of Islamic theology."

But the case of Tulsi Gabbard becomes less curious and more expected once you look at her links to a different set of ethnic and religious hardliners: the Hindu nationalist Indian Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Since her election to Congress, Gabbard has tied herself closely to this party, which has a history of condoning hatred and violence against India's Muslim minority. Many of her stateside donors and supporters are also big supporters of this movement, which disdains secularism and promotes religious sectarianism.

[yallerdawg]

60. And, somehow, incredible national exposure!

Live endorsement on "Meet the Press"?

Isn't she 1 out of 435?

She supports Sanders. She has called Sanders the most qualified "military-mind" in the election.

I have no problem with politicians sticking with their "brand." You represent your constituency, and in turn you have to do what you have to do - or get out of politics.

Other politicians and supporters will use this as they may - but it doesn't warrant much attention, and is relatively insignificant.

And I still like Tulsi Gabbard!

[NurseJackie]

59. Ummm... I don't think this tactic will work. If anything, she's probably realizing ...

... that she has made the correct decision.

[yallerdawg]

61. Let's hope bullying and intimidation doesn't work!

Facebook needs a 'filter' app for blocking offensive 'keyword' comments.

Like 'bernie' or 'sanders' or 'you suck.'

[George II]

62. What ever happened to free thinking? They were doing similar to Jesse Jackson after...

...the SC results came in.

I guess Senator Warren and Reverend Jackson aren't smart enough to make up their own minds.
