I don't know why Hillary would dredge this up actually. Jews overwhelmingly will support her. Just seems to be opening herself up to angry press releases by shithead!

I don't think her team even brought it up, Trump might just buy into the idea that she's got the media around her little finger though. If she did though, well played. Keeps it in the news cycle for another few days and Trump on the back foot.

Yeah... I don't think he knows how bad this could get for him. Up until now the broader internet has just been happy to mock and laugh at Trump over countless available topics to choose from. Once it starts to actually matter for power and global stability, where attacks are often done straight to his face? Differently handled. The Clinton campaign opened up just a sample of this material in the past few weeks and he really didn't take it well.

I think John Miller writes Trump's press releases, Trump's publicist.

Oh, also. I upheld my civic duty today.

Hillary herself hasn't mentioned it as far as I know, but someone from her campaign did:

“Donald Trump’s use of a blatantly anti-Semitic image from racist websites to promote his campaign would be disturbing enough, but the fact that it’s a part of a pattern should give voters major cause for concern,” said Sarah Bard, Clinton’s director of Jewish outreach, in a statement. “Now, not only won't he apologize for it, he's peddling lies and blaming others.”

This Lewandowski shit is truly disgusting, by the way. It's so absurd that CNN hired him. I honestly think they needed somebody to take a pro-Trump position to make their talking head panels seem more balanced and couldn't find anybody else.

Is this guy the biggest fucking crybaby to ever run for office? Why anyone would want an oversensitive manchild to run this country is beyond me.

He does not realize that if he would just admit that he made a mistake that he might score some points with people.

Though this wasn't the case this time, I kind of hope he does start calling people from the internet that criticize him "Clinton surrogates" so people in the press can start calling white nationalists and random Neo-Nazis on Twitter "Trump surrogates".

I participated in that discussion and this simply isn't accurate. It was remarked that a lot of the most vocal Sanders supporters--especially online--were younger white males that often feel marginalized by society. A lot of Trump supporters are the same, too! It's not limited to either party or a specific candidate.

Also, I remember talking about how a lot of the stereotypical "Bernie Bro," "Berniesplaining," and levels of Twitter harassment looked a whole lot like the Gamergate brigading style. That doesn't make them supporters. It's just a remark on their methods.Also this.

Right, but whoever had the Tom Perez avatar made more than one post explicating that a vote for Bernie was "a vote for Gamergate".

They've had Jeffrey Lord on their panels forever now. Like, he must not do other work because he's on literally every CNN panel. Maybe they hired Lewandowski to give this guy a break.

I'm not sure how this is any different from the reports a while back, but ABC is treating this as a new story today:

Rising Star Julian Castro Being Vetted for Clinton Vice Presidential Pick

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro is being vetted as a potential running mate for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, according to a Democratic source familiar with the process.

Castro, 41, would be the first Hispanic candidate on a presidential ticket. His selection could help Clinton energize Hispanic voters and sharpen her contrast with presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has courted controversy with his anti-immigrant proposals and incendiary rhetoric.

...

The inclusion of Castro on the list of potential vice presidential candidates is not unexpected. The Associated Press first reported on June 21 that he was being vetted by the Clinton campaign, along with Warren and Kaine.

As the Clinton campaign reviews his professional and personal records, Castro has continued to play coy.

At the Texas Democratic Convention last month, he told reporters he was not being vetted and downplayed the likelihood of his nomination.

Meh. I'm no Trump supporter, but the star complaints are a bit stupid to me. Its a 6 pointed star. Not every 6 pointed star means "Jew" let alone "I'm a nazi". In fact, every representation I've ever seen shows the Star of David as two actual triangles. They're not really the same thing. It reeks of the usual disgusting internet bullying to me.

In fact, it reeks of the same "politically correct bullshit" he's usually railing on, I'm surprised he didn't just turn it to that to rally his base around. "I can't even draw a star without these people getting upset now. If I draw a 5 pointed one, I'm sure I'll get letters about me worshiping Satan."

But I agree, this "No, it was a sheriff star!" shit .... yeah that's just dumb.

The source of the star was a NeoNazi on Twitter, and then the image was sent to 8chan.... I mean, it's pretty clear what that star means when you consider where the image was made and used.

It's pretty well established with how much time Cerium spent banned vs. active that he was a bit of a cunt. Also, didn't he spend most of he time bragging about his predictit winnings earlier in the campaign? Whoever that was was damn obnoxious. I'm of the opinion that betting in politics is pretty gross. Much more so than other forms of gambling or betting.

Mostly, I'm just mad that he always had that Perez avatar and he's bringing down my boy by association!

Obama to tell foe-to-friend story at Hillary Clinton event tomorrow

The foe-to-friend story will be at the center of the Obama-Clinton show in Charlotte, North Carolina, aides to both say. In his remarks, the president will act as a character witness for his former secretary of state, who is struggling to convince voters of her trustworthiness and honesty. There is no better politician to testify on her behalf, many Democrats believe, than the man who once counted himself among the Clinton skeptics but came around to be one of her biggest boosters.


Obama and Clinton originally planned to make their first campaign appearance together in Wisconsin, a Democratic-leaning state where Clinton struggled in her primary fight with Bernie Sanders. Campaign aides viewed the rally as a way to forge Democratic unity after the bruising primary and consolidate the party’s voters in a state Clinton needs to carry in November.

But the June 15 rally was postponed due to the mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub. By the time the campaign and White House got around to rescheduling, Clinton aides said the landscape had shifted — they are now far less worried about bringing along Bernie Sanders voters and more interested in using the president to rallying voters in one of the most divided general election battlegrounds.

The stars used by Nazi Germany to identify Jews were filled in...

It was lifted by a neo nazi website, I don't really get where the argument about what the star represents is coming from. It wasn't used on accident.

It was lifted from a chan or something. Hardly neo-nazi, just post-ironically right.

There are about eight people here who were incredibly vicious and hateful toward any Sanders supporters here. I think sometimes people forget that there are actual people behind the forum posts and those people -- for the most part -- believe the same things you do. I can only hope that the eight I mentioned are not working for the Clinton campaign in any official capacity because that vitriol is not the way to win votes.

Can we stop this?

If you have an issue, voice it.

But this "talking around" specific posters is juvenile, and it makes everyone uncomfortable.
