For than a few have really shown their true colors, something known to a few of us already, but now others are seeing it. It really is irrelevant to me whether someone is or isn't a fan of Sanders because the bigotry is inexcusable. Well, it should be inexcusable, but apparently, there are more than a few finding all kinds of excuses, including this is an attack campaign on Rhen because she is Arab, this is a possible "false flag" from the Sanders camp (meaning they were the one's responsible for the accusation being made), there was an entire interview and this is all anyone is focusing on, Sanders is used to things likes this, it is expected that situations like this will happen, Cruz is asked about his citizenship, and the list goes on and on.
I am not surprised there are some who are unaware of the dual loyalty accusation, but never thought it would be at this level at a site like this where people are usually better informed. Unsurprisingly, a list of "dual Israeli citizens" was posted at DU (hidden by a razor's edge) just two weeks ago! This accusation has surfaced here on countless occasions, and may be so prevalent as to it needing to be included in the DU TOS:
No bigoted hate speech.
Do not post bigotry based on someone's race or ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion or lack thereof, disability, or other comparable personal characteristic. To be clear: This includes any post which states opposition to full equal rights for gays and lesbians; it also includes any post asserting disloyalty by Jewish Americans, claiming nefarious influence by Jews/Zionists/Israel, advocating the destruction of the state of Israel, or arguing that Holocaust deniers are just misunderstood. In determining what constitutes bigotry, please be aware that we cannot know what is in anyone's heart, and we will give members the benefit of the doubt, when — and only when — such doubt exists.
