Bernie Sanders hires David Sirota as campaign spokesman

[Landslide Lyndon]

I guess all these geniuses who defended Sanders saying he had nothing to do with Sirota's slandering of other Democratic candidates will now post their apologies.

Not a fan, but it's not like they're going to have enormous influence over his policies. I swear, some of you really are worse than the so-called "Bernie Bros" you love to cry about all the time, who are a small (albeit vocal) percentage of his supporters anyway.

Sirota isn't hired to influence policy, he is hired to do what he does best: use his social media presence and army of trolls to slander and defame Sanders' opponents.

Can you name an example of Sirota slandering and defaming somebody? An example that doesn't include simply pointing out facts about an opponent's record?

Um, were you living in a cave the last months? Did you miss the hoopla about his hit-job on O'Rourke?

Nobody said that Sirota himself is going to move votes. The problem here is his and Sanders campaign's dishonesty and shady tactics.
When we called out Sirota for slandering other potential candidates the bros defended their God King by saying that he has no relation whatsoever with these attacks. That proved to be a blatant lie.

And the fact O'Rourke is yet to tell anyone where his money is coming from isn't shady?

WTF are you talking about? When the quarter closes and he files his next fundraising report you will find out where his money came from, like the rest of the world.

I agree that this probably won't matter much, but it does not make me, personally, want to support Sanders any more than I already did. I am now despairing at the thought of seeing Sirota all over the media during the primary. He'll make Jeff Weaver look subtle.  

The guy isn't even a left-wing ideologue. Ten years ago he was a fervent Hillary supporter who thought that electability was above ideology and trashed Obama relentlessly for being too liberal.

We are talking about a random journalist that got contacted to do a couple talking points on Cable, right? This is the big betrayal I keep hearing about? This is how Sanders is showing how he wants to divide the D party? By hiring a random Journalist that no one knows about who wrote a couple provocative articles, and then was hired to be one of literal hundreds of campaign spokespeople?

Geez, slow Newsweek, huh?

The problem is that the "journalist" isn't random at all.

LOL at the people who busted our balls five years now about David Brock (who didn't even work for Clinton's campaign) now saying that nobody cares about Sirota.

He was the head of a SuperPAC that coordinated with the Hillary campaign, so it's really not true to say that he didn't work for Hillary.

Did you even read what I wrote before posting your canned response?
