ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Nasty personal attack.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Feb 26, 2016, 11:25 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: That is a good question that deserved an answer, not an insult.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The entire point of GD-P seems to be nasty stuff, and this is not nearly the worst of it.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: He's calling the meme stupid, not the poster. That being said, I am dismayed by such vitriol from a fellow Bernie supporter.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I see no personal attack. Childish alert.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: In the immortal words of Rodney King: "cant we all get along?" In the immortal words of Rodney Dangerfield: "did someone step on a duck?"
