Of course that's not surprising considering what they say about Bernie here.
According to Hillary supporters on DU Bernie is Israel's #1 shill, a pro gunner that thinks women enjoy being raped, racist, gun nut, scheming little sneak, drooling, sweating old fool, scumbag, pandering phony braggart with some kind of emotional instability, tool for the NRA, Republican man with his head between women's legs, who protects the minutemen militia, pedophiles, racist cops, has rape fantasies, thinks that orgasms prevent cancer, wants the guns in the streets, and is supported by Stormfront.

I thought posting from RW sources was a TOS violation, if used as a credible reference.

One problem is that many sources are called rightwing if they happen to have a critical article

A Jim Hoff website? Especially after it was pointed out as being from that site?

I disagree. It's not disruptive meta to post a poll asking for opinions.

No, all sides are guilty of it but the one cited today by a HC supporter is especially vile.

Other: If a RW source is corroborated by a non-rw source it can be acceptable.
