Axelrod has been highly complimentary of Bernie's campaign on Twitter and on CNN. He's also been pretty snarky about HRC's campaign. This is snark. It doesn't mean he hates Bernie. Calm down.

Was hired to smear a black woman of impeccable character, by those that wanted to be certain another ant-choice Conservative judge be placed on the Supreme Court, using phrases including but not limited to, "she's a little bit slutty and a little bit nutty" a remark that has forever cemented in my mind a phrase for him, "a little bit racist and a little bit salacious"

Disgust is what he inspires, he and his tactics are much like Lee Atwater's and Karl rove's. I am also disgusted that a smear merchant, Atwater emulating, professional liar and character assassin was hired by a Democratic Candidate.

I now wonder if Rove was first offered the job, but refused it, so they purchased one only slightly more misogynist

button so hard and post nothing but smears in their own private group, have transparency pages showing in many cases a dozen hidden posts and (one I have seen) actually had 16, it may be a record.

I can't say because I only check the transparency pages of those that are particularly nasty to me, I have changed one of my rules, back when we had rules, where terminally nasty people were placed on time outs, I never alerted on anyone, preferring instead to argue lies using truth, and nastiness using logic, now I DO alert, but only if one has five hides or more as they appear to me to be habitual offenders.

Since I changed my alert policy, I have seen some truly remarkable transparency pages showing links to some truly vile and often bigoted posts.
