I have a message for Donald Trump: No, we’re not going to hate Latinos, we’re not going to hate Muslims, we are going to stand together.

So when you read some bullshit post on DU trying to link Sanders to white supremacy hate messages, see it for what it is: Dishonest flame bait trolling.

4. so he's going for the white supremecists but he won't be racist.

That's a winning strategy right there.

[morningfog]

5. No shit. That is the point. He's not going for "white supremecists."

And he's not a racist.

[MohRokTah]

6. I agree, he is not a racist, but he IS going after white supremacists.

By going after Trump supporters he is de facto going after white supremacists since Trump supporters are all de facto white supremacists.

7. Some are just star struck by a famous name/reality star/billionaire.

That those people are not appalled by his racism is indeed bad - they may be passive racists in that they are not Stormfront types, but can easily look the other way when bad things happen to minorities that don't affect them.

Again, not the best people in the world, but if 10-15% of them can be educated, it would be a start.

8. Those are white supremacists, too

Due to his flagrantly open racism, one cannot be a Trump supporter and not also be a white supremacist.

9. Not all are white supremacists.

That is certainly a group that supports Trump, due to his bigoted rhetoric. But that is not who Sanders is seeking to win over, obviously.

[MohRokTah]

11. Yes, ALL are white supremacists.

One cannot support Trump and NOT be a white supremacist.

[morningfog]

12. That is simplistic thinking.

And not true. I am not here to defend any Trump supporter though.

[MohRokTah]

14. It is absolutely true.

And you could have fooled me about defending Trump supporters.

[morningfog]

18. No doubt I could fool you, if I so wanted.

[Uncle Joe]

15. And you would rather "white supremacists" remain "white supremacists" instead of becoming

enlightened?

[MohRokTah]

16. Yeah, Sanders is REALLY gonna "enlighten" them.

Wanna buy a bridge?

[Uncle Joe]

17. Do you blame him for trying? What if Bernie is only partially successful

and enlightens 10-30% is that a bad thing?

[MohRokTah]

19. He won't enlighted 0.00000000001% of them.

It's a desperate move by a desperate campaign.

[Hortensis]

10. Good for Bernie.

Please note the "stand together" part, too.

13. K&R for exposure. eom
