I don't know what kind of "surrogate" John Cusack is but whatever he is he needs to chill.

1. that's some crazy shit. full of victimhood and conspiracies

[Cha]

4. Yes, also arrogance & projection.

Someone said they reported it for "targeted harassment".. Cusack is not doing his candidate any good.. perhaps just the opposite.

2. I've noticed a lot of Sanders supporters become unhinged a bit in the past couple of weeks.

I think the recent spate of poor news and poor polling have got them in an even more aggressive mode than usual.

[JI7]

3. Harris has had bad news also but you done see the crazy conspiracy

theories and drowning in victimhood.

many candidates go through tough times.

[Cha]

5. Excellent point!

[Cha]

13. I would say John Cusack

fits that description.

6. Apparently Cusack thinks the media have lied about Sanders.

So if you could find examples in which the media has lied about Sanders it would bolster Cusack's claim.

Something like this. https://theintercept.com/2019/03/03/msnbc-yet-again-broadcasts-blatant-lies-this-time-about-bernie-sanders-opening-speech-and-refuses-to-correct-them/

That is a truth statement. It is either true or false; not both true and false or neither true or false.

If the media blamed Sanders for inciting a mass shooting, would that support Cusack's point?

If a media fact checking organization call a Sander's statement a lie, then when it was discovered that the statement was accurate, the organization didn't retract; would that tend to confirm Cusack's claim?

If people simply dismiss Cusack's claim, without examining the evidence, does that effect the truth or falseness of that claim?

Continually surprised how liberals, who have been burned by the media for decades, now happily give the media the benefit of the doubt.

15. He has a platform that a lot of people don't have.

If Cusack has evidence, he need to present it, otherwise he need to stfu.

As I watch his camoaign, Bernie Sanders and his surrogates have been the people inflicting damage on his campaign.

[Buzz cook]

18. If everyone had to present evidence everytime they spoke

Then we might as well close DU down.

[LanternWaste]

21. But of course. Allegations and bumper stickers are quite good enough for many people...

As allegations and bumper stickers are great tools for those who, for the most part, rely heavily on, well... allegations and bumper stickers.

[Blue_true]

22. People that make serious allegations that can affect the country and the world need to provide

evidence to back them up. No one on DU makes claims of the magnitude that I just listed.

[Buzz cook]

23. Really?

A day rarely passes in which someone on DU doesn't make momentous charges. I think you mean no one on DU has the power or notoriety to make allegations that would effect the country.

And I'd say neither does John Cusack.

[mr_lebowski]

26. Oh, c'mon, John Cusack is incredibly powerful ... he needs to watch what he says ...

He's a regular Helen of Troy ... or POTUS ... that one!

[Fan of Da Bearse]

7. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

It's a conspiracy against Bernie, man! The Freemasons, the Illuminati, the Zionists, the Bohemian Grove, the Bilderburg Group, David icke's Lizard People, the Trilateral Commission and the Girl Scout who sells me cookies are all in on it!

[betsuni]

9. Do not forget the Knights Templar, Rosicrucians!

[Layzeebeaver]

11. I'm a member...

...of the tri-lateral commission.

Oh wait... you’re speaking of the A-list Tri-laterial commission.

I’m speaking of the D-list version, where my friends Dave and Kev, and I set the world to rights every so often.

The world need more D-list TLCs meeting more often. With less triggering than mr. Cusac!!!

[Grokenstein]

12. I'm trying to remember...

...which other candidate's people were constantly shrieking that the media was conspiring against him, right up to Election Night?

I think the candidate himself was going on about it as well. Something something enemy of the people.

[Blue_true]

16. The parallels are shocking, and disappointing. nt

[Cha]

17. Good way to

to put it.

[mr_lebowski]

27. You're being ridiculous ... he said the media ... not all that other bullshit ...

Please try to keep it real, maybe?

[Eric J in MN]

8. Tom Watson is unreliable and John Cusack isn't a 'surrogate.' NT

NT

[Cha]

10. I said in the OP I didn't know what

Cusack is.. but he needs to chill. He may think he's helping his candidate but he's not.

These are Cusack's words so Tom Watson is immaterial.. anyway Watson has more than 36,000 Followers so somebody thinks he's worth reading. I don't except Sanders' supporters to like him.

[TidalWave46]

14. Sounds like a salty Sanders.

Kind of funny in a way. He is promoting one of Sanders positions in a Salty Sanders way.

Please understand I don’t know this person.

[comradebillyboy]

20. "Salty Sanders"? I like that descriptor...

[Tipperary]

19. Ha!

Too funny!

[MustLoveBeagles]

24. John Cusack the actor?

If so how disappointing. Or am I misreading it?

[Cha]

25. Yes & Yes.. and he's been

doing this kind of thing for quite awhile now.
