Just an FYI, since the beginning of the campaign launches, we have had an influx of low count posters who come here with only one intent, and that is to disrupt conversations and exchange of ideas and to foment distrust and disinformation between the Sander's and Clinton camps. We have seen this so many times in the past elections, especially in 2008 and even after the 2001 selection. There is an interesting story from the past year from the NYT that I will post a link to and it tells the story that we are all very familiar with. Anything related to Karl Rove involves dirty tricks and sabotage, you can bet the farm on that one. The one good thing that happened while I lived in Texas, was I got to see Tom Delay dethroned and sent to the woodshed. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving toady.

Also, this week the former Nixon aide admitted that the war on drugs was meant to specifically harm AA communities. Like we didn't know that one either.

On edit: I posted once in the BS group and was banned, it was a very innocuous post, but they want to live in their little bubble, so be it.
