Heads up - RW troll has a fake Bernie Sanders page on FB.

All it does is post sophomoric anti-Clinton memes and articles, while everything about Bernie is accompanied by unflattering photos and the word socialism. Then it spreads its own posts at other pages affiliated with liberals and MSNBC shows.

It was started by a white supremacist from NJ who also started the fake page Black Patriots of America, and, apparently FB thinks it's OK for an old, white guy from NJ (Cliff Medina) to pose as a black woman.

I am sure this jerk is not the only one.

Looking won't hurt. He was fooling a lot of people with the Black Patriots page.

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Disruptive and rude. The post is trying to say a lot of Bernie Sanders supporters on DU are a big hit squad of right wing trolls. It's just a baseless broad-brush smear against a large group of good DU members.

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Jul 8, 2015, 10:23 AM, and the Jury voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Baseless. I might have reconsidered if the poster had provided a link as evidence, but this is bullshit.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's just an opinion. No individual DUer was called out by name.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: With four votes, you ARE the Weakest Link. Goodbye!
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't know the poster's history so am unwilling to assume that the alerter's interpretation is correct - it certainly isn't obvious from the post itself.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
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.

It attacks Hillary from the right. It will convince nobody of anything. It champions Trey Gowdy against Hillary.

Ignore it.

They use the Community format to get past the confirmation process, apparently.
