Lunatic Anti-Semite Introduces Bernie at Rally

Is there a good reason that Bernie surrounds himself with so many toxic individuals? Sirota, Turner, Gray, Moore, West, Orfalea, Agnew, Cenk, et al.

Is it intentional? Is he "sending a message" with these hires and close associations? Does he approve of their toxic and divisive messages and tone and attacks? Or is he simply unaware of what's going on around him? (Hey, I'm just trying to be nice here and give him the possible benefit-of-the-doubt, if there's one to be had.)

Here's David Packman (whom I generally can't stand) making some interesting points about this very subject and how he thinks choices like this have negatively impacted Bernie's campaign and career.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Can he (or his wife, who seems to have hiring decisions) not see how bad the impression?

Bernie chooses a virulent hate-monger conspiracy theorist to introduce him at a rally.

Pakman might be a DUer. There's a poster who posts in Video & Multimedia who has posted nothing at DU but David Pakman videos for 5 years.

More that 1500 OPs. Every single one of them a youtube link to a David Pakman video.

I've often wondered if that poster was actually Pakman.

I have posted on boards where famous people post. One was a devout Hillary supporter. He gave fund raisers for her. He went over to Daily Kaus.

Anyone remember the song,” Dirty Water?

But the guy is usually right!

A Jew being introduced by a Muslim Cleric.

We have a Sunday School Teacher with advanced degrees in Religion who has been doing a series on the Muslim Religion. As he explained it the weaknesses were very clear to me. He described several cleanliness beliefs, but missed the most important part of the body to be cleansed . I mentioned it as I left. He laughed. I know several women who married Saudis.

They base their Religion on the First 3 books of the Bible but the basics are 6 beliefs.
