(Now who didn’t see this coming?): Hillary Clinton Supporters Are Apparently Plotting To Falsely Accuse Bernie Sanders Of Sexual Assault

The other day when i was reading about this #metoo crusade and how its been turned into such a farce by a lot of opportunistic people, I started to wonder why hasn’t someone tried to use it to nail the DNC’s and Dim’s most hated member. I thought maybe the Clinton Creature could have someone cook up another ‘Dossier’ or something and Obama could kick in a million (or two now that he’s out-grifting the Clinton grifters) to help pay for one better than the last one they bought. Then I promptly forgot about it. Well, I guess I shouldn’t have. While it’s not The Usual Suspects who promoted this scheme, there are other liars out there more than willing to give it a try. Here’s one who got caught.

Hillary Clinton Supporters Are Apparently Plotting To Falsely Accuse Bernie Sanders Of Sexual Assault

Apparent Hillary Clinton supporters on Twitter are plotting to falsely accuse Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) of sexual harassment in order to force his resignation.

A tweet sent at 9:14 a.m. on December 7 by Gabrielle Fane reads:

“So who’s ready to be an Anonymous caller to say Bernie grabbed my waist during a selfie? All we need is 8 and we can push him out. #AlFranken”

Fane’s Twitter handle is @gabyfane and her bio reads: “‘We are the ones we have been waiting for.’ – Barack Obama CA, NYC, NJ, UK, CA, PDX #StillWithHer” Notably, Fane’s bio also contains a donut emoji, which is widely understood among online left-leaning communities to be a symbol for liberals and Democrats opposed to socialists and the so-called Sanders wing of the Democratic Party.

*

But the idea of weaponizing the #metoo movement against committed left-wing politicians is a new look for the Hashtag Resistance. Though some Clinton partisans have favorably responded to the idea of falsely accusing the democratic socialist Sanders in retribution for the tanking of neoliberal Franken, most replies to Fane’s suggestion have been decidedly negative.

*

Law&Crime reached out to Fane via Facebook and Twitter but no response was forthcoming at the time of publication.

After all, they don't really give a shit about Dipshit's abhorrent policies because fighting for actual good policy that benefits everyone doesn't allow for the self-congratulatory horseshit that masks shit policies.

edit p.s.: This is exactly the kind of shit you'd expect from the likes of slimeballs like James O'Keefe.

@Anja Geitz That's a very good question. It's always hard to tell what's a real asshole--or an amateur asshole, I suppose I should say--and what's an operative (whether public or private sector).

If it's a professional, then the next question would be "Who's paying?" I would guess a set-up something along the lines of David Brock. Something in the "think tank" or "political consultant" side of things, working for someone associated--but at a discreet distance--with the Clintons.

But in this case, I bet it's an amateur.

@Anja Geitz
that I had wondered to myself why no one had tried to use it against Sanders, AND LO AND BEHOLD, there it is.

Do I think it’s organized? It eventually may be. Against anyone. Do I think this was some Clinton zealots trying to stir up trouble? You damn well bet I do. And right off the bat she found someone willing to make an ‘anonymous’ complaint. And from the article there was more than one lying woman right there willing to make those calls. But far more were against her scheme so now Ms. Gaby is in hiding.

What I posted was from an article that shows how damn dirty some people are and how low they’re willing to go out of spite and pure vindictiveness. And that includes the “he looked at my butt in 1994” crowd who want to get their names added to a ‘list’ of victims because they were so **traumatized** they can’t sleep at night becsuse they still have nightmare of that passing glance. Between the drama queens and possible liars like these two, they’ve made an absolute mockery out of a movement that was long overdue. These specimens were openly discussing a way to use it against an innocent man. If you don’t think that’s not an indication of how corrupt this country is becoming you are mistaken. It also shows how some internet troll can flippantly discuss ruining the career of a long time senator by making false allegations of harrassment and right away she finds other scum perfectly willing to join in on the fun. You don’t think that is a big problem?

I don’t honestly don’t care if you don’t think it’s ‘organized’ or not. That was NOT the point. It was on its way to being ‘organized’ until some good people stepped up and put a halt to Ms Gaby’s little scheme. Here again are the words posted by someone named Linda Correa who shows how damaging and hurtful it is for REAL victims of sexual harassment:

@gabyfane Clinton isn’t running again you middle aged hag. False accusations for sad political reasons make it harder for girls like me who had trouble as teens to admit sexual abuse. #FuckHer #SheSuckedAsACandidate

@edg

"Donut": In the middle of everyone yelling about the word "corncob," BuzzFeed published an article about the conflict between Nina Turner, who runs a Bernie Sanders–founded political activist group called Our Revolution, and the DNC. Turner described a moment where she went to the DNC headquarters to deliver a petition supporting the "People's Platform," but was angry at what she saw as a frosty reception. From BuzzFeed:

A spread of donuts and water had also been set up for the Our Revolution party. Turner took particular issue with the donuts and water, which she called "hand-out trinkets."

"They tried to seduce us with donuts and water," she said. "They're pompous and arrogant enough to say to the people, 'You're not good enough to be on our property — and, oh by the way, we're just gonna hand you donuts and water over the barricade.' That is insulting. Absolutely insulting."

After liberals began criticizing Turner on Twitter for her rejection of the DNC's donuts (and for engaging in what they saw as a publicity stunt), a new meme was born.

Gawd, I'm betting that she's a member of ToP and wrote one of the diaries that said what Franken did wasn't bad. As for her suggesting that he only put his arm "around her waste", that isn't what he was accused of doing., he grabbed the women's buttocks. After he put his cheek on theirs.
Even after kos himself told people to knock it off and that there shouldn't be that type of diary on the site, 4-5 more went up.

those diaries were going up for almost two weeks and he finally decides to take a look at his site to see how it's doing without him? Or that no one else could have taken them down? Blaat.....
They were left up because of the number of clicks they got because of the fighting on them.

Almost every front page diary has a link to donate $3 or to fill out an email. There are so many new members that I don't see many that I recognize anymore. Plus the new members that joined 10 years ago and have a few comments from them? Right...

I'm not the only one who is questioning if this is what is happening there, but people who have been members for over a decade haven't written one diary? This is why I believe that they are sock puppets. A long time member came back to see what the site was like after he got kicked off when kos came out publicly as Hillary's puppet and said that there are a lot of names he didn't recognize and they had been members as long as he was. Boy the shit storm his comment made was a thing of beauty. Smile

@Lily O Lady Oh, you saw that.

The same thing's being done to feminism that was done to the movements for racial justice. They have been repurposed as tools for the establishment. The establishment gets to make use of their moral credibility AND undermine it, simultaneously.

For them, it's a two-fer.

Sad for those of us who remember the actual movements.

Hell, I still am not convinced this was a warning shot and won’t be surprised to see this return with some bigger names behind it eventually.

In America - Cut Him Loose

By BOB HERBERT
FEBRUARY 26, 2001

*

Now, with the stench of yet another scandal polluting the political atmosphere, some of Mr. Clinton's closest associates and supporters are acknowledging what his enemies have argued for years -- the man is so thoroughly corrupt it's frightening.

The president who hung a ''For Rent'' sign on the door to the Lincoln Bedroom also conducted a clearance sale on pardons in his last weird sleepless days in the White House.

The fallout from those pardons is threatening to destroy Mr. Clinton, and perhaps also his wife, the junior senator from New York. He may finally be getting his due.

*

There's not much the Democrats can do about Mrs. Clinton. She's got a Senate seat for six years. But there is no need for the party to look to her for leadership. The Democrats need to regroup, re-establish their strong links to middle-class and working-class Americans, and move on.

You can't lead a nation if you are ashamed of the leadership of your party. The Clintons are a terminally unethical and vulgar couple, and they've betrayed everyone who has ever believed in them.

I forwarded it to Boxer, thinking at least a staffer would be on the other end, and politely asked if they might want to get out in front of this.

It will say a lot about Hillary supporters, and probably Hillary herself (which in this case, and I can't believe I'm saying this, may not actually be fair--because this might have been an amateur asshole and not a paid operative. If it was a paid operative, chances are it is linked to her somehow.)

for Gawd's sake, this Russia crap has crept into every aspect of society. Whenever a serious subject is being talked about, some asswipe comes along and blames it on Russia. It's bad enough that once sane people who had a huge distrust of anything the intelligence agencies said are now hanging on every word as the gospel truth.

I wonder how much Comrade Trump's Russian buddies are paying this 5th Columnist heffa?

How do we know this didn't come from Putin? When something is this far out it should always be questioned and not promoted as "truth."

At least there is one poster who is trying to shut this down.

I see blaming Putin is the go-to method these days of shutting down everything. We don't like something? Blame Putin for it. God, America has turned into a million Joe McCarthys running around red-baiting everyone. It's shameful, reckless and idiotic.
