the Hillies starting to hit back against the Bernies

Oh my.

And it's high time too; one was beginning to doubt any of the Hillies had any balls, the way they were meekly laying down and taking all the grief the Bernies were giving them.

Bernie's background is interesting.

"One period of his life, the years from 1964 to 1971, however, has been left unexplained."

I have read this twice and I am still confused. Your bio is your bio and it should not be that difficult to sort out the truth. How many times has he been married? How did he avoid the draft? 

Good questions; perhaps the Bernies need to answer them.

1. This has been alerted on.

DURHAM D (21,209 posts)    Thu Jul 9, 2015, 11:29 PM

3. Ok. Why?
 
I didn't write it and his life is his life and he does want to be President.

5. I can't remember the alert comments IMO it was frivolous.
 
I'll post it when I get it, something about the grouo not being used for bashing Bernie? Seems like the hosts job IMO, not a jury.

Though I do agree that the article would be better off in GD. I don't run this place so...

6. Does it seem like bashing?
 
Like I said... I just thought it was interesting.

<<<thinks they're interesting questions too.

<<<but doubts the Bernies are going to answer them.

7. Meh, not really.
 
On Thu Jul 9, 2015, 08:20 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Bernie's background is interesting.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/110711718

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Abuse of a protected group. This is for Hillary Clinton support. Not Bernie Sanders attacks where his supporters cannot respond. Should be hidden.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Jul 9, 2015, 08:33 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Explanation: This is a protected group... If the hosts want to lock the thread have at it, this post is not a violation of the DU TOS which is what I am supposed to judge here. -Agschmid

Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Explanation: Alerter, this is the second one like this I've seen. It is not your job to police the HRC group. Let them deal with it, by locking if they so choose.

Go to your protected BS group and make a thread to refute. No one gets to argue the points brought up in a protected group but the members and hosts there. It seems you are trying to control discussion in protected group, perhaps you have been banned for abusing the group, I don't know but you could have tried to refute instead of making a bogus alert like this.

Go to your group and post there. You can refute the idea of the OP in the BS group. You are not the host of HRC and you appear to be wanting to hide threads in that group to harrass them.

I will not hide a post since you are complaining on Bernie's behalf. This at best is a SOP alert, but you ruined that with discussing groups and refuting.

DU does not belong to any one person, and the groups are not under the control of anyone but the hosts.

This is a big fail in alerting and I will not vote to hide anything that is worded this way. It's just a silly alert when you say this.

Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Explanation: If it's a moderated forum, take it up with the moderator. This is not a TOS violation.

Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Explanation: No explanation given

Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Explanation: The question should be easily settled by research. The question is valid and always asked of presidential(male) candidates.

Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT

Explanation: No explanation given

Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

11. Thanks.
 
TOS claim is truly off. Its just an article trying to fill in some data about a Presidential candidate. 

And guess who's back:

16. Thanks for posting DURHAM D and oy vey on the alert.

Little Lord Fauntleroy Wills, one of the two co-leaders of the Hillies, along with the other fairy boy, hrmjustin, had been on an enforced vacation because the Bernies had strategically alerted on him to get him silenced.

The Bernies'll stoop to anything; they have no concept of good clean sportsmanship.

23. He is an unknown in many ways, I hope he doesn't expect that he can run a campaign on a national

level and not have people delve into his past. No matter how distasteful it is, people want to KNOW the person they are voting for.

I think it's weird that he was 40 years old before he had steady employment (as mayor), I don't actually know anyone (except my BIL) who was able to do that and survive.

The primitives voted for Barry without knowing jack squat about him.

Whoa.

Bernie was 40 before he had a long-term job?

I'm liking Bernie less and less, if that's what he was.

Piker.  Not even close to a serious leech.

[Ptarmigan]

What is Hillary Clinton and/or Bernie Sanders do not get the nomination? That is going to be a real possibility.

You know, what always bothered me about Bernie was that he was born and raised in Brooklyn.

Brooklyn's got lots and lots of problems, tons of problems.

If Bernie wanted to do something constructive, why didn't he just stay in Brooklyn then, instead of running away up to Vermont?

[GOBUCKS]

I'm waiting for the Bernies to start asking why Chelsea is a dead ringer for Webb Hubbell.

Look at that picture.  He's a fat, middle-aged leech who bums off family, friends, and any other mindless do-gooders dumb enough to put money in his open hand.

I'm sure they will.

Ain't nothing going to happen on Skins's island until the Hillies and Bernies finally get going.

Up until now, it seems only the Bernies have been lying about their opposition.

So, then--he's the inspiration for the DUmp and the DUmmies . . . just by the bolded.

Amazing how you didn't feel that way about our current President when you voted fomr him twice.

And more amazing still that you'd post that and yet you Libtards defend the fact that Hillary ran a secret email server and refuses to turn over the relevant emails from said server.

What are the chances their internecine Alertfare will grind our amusement to a halt?

Heard a reporter (Politico?) on a not-quite-loony-liberal talk station yesterday PM talking about his investigations into Clown Prince Bernie. Not much grist there for Tsaritsa Chill's negative campaign mill (Bernie's son is not the son of his first wife, but of a "divorce recovery GF" ... the son is in his mid 40s so that's somewhere in the no-man's-land between scandal and history). But, yeah. Bernie was a ne'er-do-well failed adult until age 40, when he finally got elected Mayor of Burlington, VT and became a successful politician.

If Tsaritsa Chill's operatives or surrogates try to hit any of those things it'll invite comparisons in which Tsaritsa Chill comes off looking worse. That said, both the not-quite-loony-liberal talkshow host and reporter are pretty much going along with the accepted fact that Tsaritsa Chill is the inevitable D nominee just as she was at this time in 2007.
