The attacks I'm seeing here against Bernie and his message are positively Republican in nature.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Calling Bernie Supporters freepers? The OP never said that people who disagree with Bernie are republicans. This insult is out of line.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Jan 26, 2016, 09:59 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Did not call Sanders supporters freepers. The alerter said, 'Sounds like' which is a fair accusation if your comments are similar to said group. There has been a lot of outrageous claims and accusations made, this one doesn't even rise to being out of bounds during non-primary season.
Try arguing against the assertion made by the poster instead of running to the alert button

Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I think this wins the prize for the stupidest post that I've ever voted to leave alone. Clinton supporters have indeed made Republicanesque attacks on Sanders (and have also exhibited an astonishing intolerance of people who disagree with them, astonishing considering they're so sure that Clinton will be the nominee and will therefore want our help in November). I also agree with retrowire's response to the alerted post. Nevertheless, I don't quite see a personal attack. The alerted post says that Sanders supporters are sounding like freepers, which is open to the reasonable interpretation that it's an attack on their comments rather than an attack on them personally (rather than outright calling them freepers as the alerter charges). My jury philosophy is to leave it alone if there's *a* reasonable interpretation under which it squeaks through.
