Thanks Brady..... still lots of raging here. It will calm down soon.

So, This CNN story you believe?
Tell me, what are the criteria you use to evaluate a news story? Don't bother, I think I got it


We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

I was speaking for myself as a Bernie supporter that I wasn't bent over the choice of Perez.  Ellison will be deputy chairman.  It's not a big deal to me and I would say that to any fellow Sanders supporter.

Funny how CNN is singled out as a purveyor of 'fake news' when something is reported that doesn't line up with a pre-determined  world view or conclusion, but completely trusted when CNN reports on something that lines up with something someone wants to believe.

Funny, I don't think I ever said anything about CNN (or any other news outlet) being fake news or attacking them.  If you can find where I did say that, please let me know.

It was a general observation about what people want to, or choose to believe in this highly charged political climate.  Common gave the impression that there all kinds of turmoil and rage about Perez being named  DNC Chairperson amongst the Bernie supporters and cited a piece by CNN.  I was merely pointing out that as a Sanders supporter myself, my knickers didn't get knotted over it.

I was the one who cited the CNN story, not Common.  This prompted my response about me never attacking CNN or any other news outlet for fake news.  I shared the piece as proof that Common was indeed correct in pointing out that the Sanders wing of the party was upset with the election of Perez.  Common wasn't just giving people the impression there was turmoil, there was actual turmoil at the meeting.  It is not up for debate, but is a fact.

Re: Democratic National Committee 2017 Winter Meeting

Some Ellison supporters were upset.
Many were not.
That is not up for debate. It is fact

Dammit Fred, you *are* angry, we all know it and there's nothing you can tell us otherwise!

LOL.

Re: Democratic National Committee 2017 Winter Meeting

Nowhere did I ever say Fred is angry, or even imply that he was.
