1. Brock

damn him

[Yurovsky]

2. Why am I not surprised?

Bernie and the FBI has them sweating profusely right now...

Anything to divert attention away from her self-inflicted scandal...

[Henhouse]

3. Sounds to me like someone spliced out homophobic rap song..nt

[cali]

4. Fail.

[leftinportland]

5. Sounds like you didn't

Bother to read the link.

[leftinportland]

7. or view either of the videos

[Henhouse]

14. Original video from twitter...

https://twitter.com/Edwinprime

[cali]

17. No video at link.

[TwilightZone]

46. It's pinned to the top.

Unless you have videos blocked, it's right at the very top of his feed.

Edit: he also posted it to Youtube a couple days ago:

[leftinportland]

30. Haha...the only video at that link is of Hillary lying 13 times

Guess that is a Fail!

[Lizzie Poppet]

11. You have no clue what you're talking about.

The overdub is clumsy and obvious. Note the people clapping rhythmically and kind of grooving along...at a different tempo than the song.

[ljm2002]

53. But you are wrong...

...would you care to retract your ugly lie?

[pmorlan1]

6. More Dirty Tricks

The tactics used in this campaign are despicable.

[Tavarious Jackson]

8. Keep those shades on

https://twitter.com/Edwinprime/status/735925339939954688/video/1

[cali]

10. Keep defending a vile smear.

[KittyWampus]

19. Keep pretending Sanders' campaign does not fail on so many levels.

[phleshdef]

22. I think the wording of your response was the failure here

[KittyWampus]

26. Oh, I just fixed it. Sanders couldn't bother organizing a ground game...

Pope trip… stolen data… misappropriating logos... impersonating union members…

His campaign is a long list of FAIL.

[cali]

29. Keep with the pitiful deflection.

[KittyWampus]

32. Deflection of what? His failure to hire competent staff? Take competent advice?

Your candidate didn't bother organizing a ground game.

He held rallies and spent big on tv ads.

[cali]

43. Deflection of the topic in the op.

Bernie started at 3%. Literally the only people claiming he ran a terrible campaign, are hilly fans who can't see reality due to blind adoration. It's nutty.

[ljm2002]

55. HOLY FUCKING SHIT...

...we have a proven disgusting faked smear of Bernie Sanders, and your response in this thread is to talk about the Sanders campaign failing "on so many levels". What, because they failed to know that some underhanded asshole out there had made a FUCKING FAKE VIDEO and then used it to try and smear him? And we had two threads right here on DU promoting that shit!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I can't believe how shitty people can be.

[leftinportland]

36. here is more credible link to the live stream

https://www.facebook.com/CA4Sanders2016/posts/556847927830875

Really you post a Twitter feed as proof...bull shit

[azurnoir]

41. ssame vid same bad overdub different source

but it's brave of you to keep trying I actually admire that

[TheBlackAdder]

64. Just freakin' admit that you posted a bogus OP. You were duped by a desperately desired smear!

.


You were controlled by emotion, desire, and a strong form of political myopia.


You were so anxious to rush this article to post, when you found it or were apprised of it, that judgment failed!


Now, the shitload of OPs you posted today are partially invalidated, along with a couple other hit pieces.


.

[bobbobbins01]

9. Same time that Bernie says Frank should be removed

and that whole AIDS activist bullshit. Hmmmmm

[RobertEarl]

12. Did they catch Bernie throwing a chair?

[Henhouse]

15. No chairs were harmed in the making of this video..n/t

[cali]

18. Just a sick and disgusting brockian smear

[RobertEarl]

21. But that worked so swell for Hillary the last time

What will they think of next?

Whatever it is we Berners are ready to show them to be the asses they are, right?

[KittyWampus]

20. Are you defending the doxxing and death threats? The chair were besides the point.

[Hissyspit]

50. No, the chairs weren't beside the point. Like the video, a lie that was

told and retold by people who didn't care whether it was the truth or not.

[Dem2]

13. This is why I don't generally comment on these sorts of attacks

Besides, even if true there's generally a reasonable explanation, the idea that either candidate wants to be seen as insensitive or violent or whatever the latest flap is is ridiculous.

[stillwaiting]

16. So embarrassing for HRC supporters. When will HRC denounce this?!?! nt

[hollysmom]

56. no they are celebrating it, but they will

cry again if Sanders Questions Clinton's wall street associations. OOh that is too personal.heh.

[azurnoir]

23. yep it took all of 15 seconds to figure out it was a bad overdub

[dana_b]

24. what assholes

and anyone who REALLY thought that Bernie would be for that is also an asshole.

[Cheese Sandwich]

25. They are deliberately trying to drive Bernie voters out of the Democratic Party by harrassing us out

They don't want us in the party because we're seen as troublemakers who ask for things.

Using these dirty tricks is their way of saying GTFO.

[reddread]

54. thank you

The only logical explanation.
we are so much less of a problem in some third party or independant mode.
that is all there is to it.

[hootinholler]

27. Lots of cell phones recording that entry.

It will take a little time but the truth of this matter will come out.

I seriously doubt that Bernie will be in the wrong here.

[KittyWampus]

33. It's more like eye-rolling at another POTENTIAL instance of incompetence by his campaign staff.

The point is, his campaign is and has been run so badly it is entirely believable the music was played.

[cali]

44. Lol. Just another Brock style lying smear from camp hillykins

[ljm2002]

57. Please be specific about the incompetence here...

...Bernie walked out to no music, as per usual. Some asshole dubbed a homophobic rap song over a video of his entrance, posted it, and it was then used to smear Sanders.

It has now been debunked.

How this is in any way an indication of incompetence on the part of Sanders or his campaign?

Honest answer: it isn't. Of course I do not expect you to come up with that answer, as that would require you to be able to reason your way out of a paper bag.

[Henhouse]

31. Oh bernie, bernie, bernie...it's not the crime it's the coverup...

Original video:

https://twitter.com/Edwinprime

[leftinportland]

37. No this is the original

https://www.facebook.com/CA4Sanders2016/posts/556847927830875

[Henhouse]

45. Right...and why could you not hear the crowds in the background. obvious fake...n/t

[leftinportland]

47. You listened...

Then tell me how many minutes go by before Sanders enters the rally?

[tkmorris]

58. Wow. You believe this

You well and truly believe this happened. I... I don't even know what to say.

[SheilaT]

34. Absolutely not surprised.

At the Bernie rally I attended last week in Santa Fe, there was some music played before the rally began, but not really a lot, and none of it was rap. During the rally it was all Bernie talking and the crowd cheering or booing as appropriate.

[AZ Progressive]

35. The ethics of a Hillary supporter: "Win at all costs, including smearing and swiftboating"

[nc4bo]

38. So sleazy it'd make a snake blush. nt

[mainer]

39. Why is the crowd not keeping the right beat?

If this is the rap song, they're shaking their signs to the wrong beat. Everyone knows Dems are good at keeping a beat.

[mainer]

40. Is this the behavior of the future Clinton Administration?

Fraud, fraud, and more fraud?

[litlbilly]

42. Wow, they are really about a mile below the bottom of the barrell. those internals must

be off the charts for them to pull this kind of shit.

[haikugal]

48. Brock...how classy Clinton.

[BuelahWitch]

49. Probably one of those fucking Brock University "grads"

Rat bastards!

[Thinkingabout]

51. Look at the guy Sanders fired after the data base breach into Hillary's data, he has

A score to settle with the Sanders campaign.

[Warren DeMontague]

52. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL UNALTERED VIDEO FEED RIGHT HERE. SETTLED ONCE AND FOR ALL!

http://tinyurl.com/ybqm3t6

[opiate69]

60. You Bastard!

I haven't fallen for that in like a decade, God dammit!

[Warren DeMontague]

63. I'm "retro", as the kids say

[AzDar]

59. Lying SCUM. Trying to to deflect from $Hillary's HORRIBLE week...

[JudyM]

62. All the Bernie "scandals" are manufactured. Hillary's are home-grown.

[B Calm]

61. The Hillary campaign is getting really desperate. Bad week for Hillary.

[MisterP]

65. "Clinton's the gay candidate!"

http://phys.org/news/2016-04-honduras-lgbt-people-years.html

[JEB]

66. K&R for exposure.

[Garrett78]

67. Brock? Nope. The undefined "they" peeps kept referring to? Nope. A Sanders supporter? Ding, ding.

But I'm sure that won't put an end to the ridiculous conspiracy theories.

[leftinportland]

68. No conspiracy

Just a whole lot of folks who blindly jump on the chance to disparage the political opponent of their anointed one.

I'm less concerned with the originator and greatly concerned with those who reposted ad nauseum to prove something...Sanders is homophobic, He can't run a campaign, etc.

[Garrett78]

69. There were far more posts claiming a conspiracy than there were posts peddling the bogus tale.

[leftinportland]

70. Got some stats on that. Maybe this was true on DU

But there is a world outside of this site and the haters everywhere jumped at the chance to spread this vile lie.
