17. The campaign memoriabilia exists, there is no doubt whatever of that.

Whether the Clinton Gore campaign produced and distributed it is a separate issue, though. I don't know. And, if it was done covertly, we may never know.

However, the substance of OP is easy to verify. It's true. Obviously, I could not disagree more with those who attempt at suppression--which attempts usually one-sided, if I may point out that which requires no pointing out.

And, no, it's not because negative things have not been said about Sanders. Thread after thread coming just short of accusing Sanders of sexism and racism, of being anti-immigrant, of being unelectable, etc.--- even focusing on a student essay that is almost a half century old--are remarkably free of pleas not to damage a potential nominee, not to risk suppressing the Democratic vote in the general.

Factual information about the two frontrunners in Democratic primary is reasonable to post anywhere on a Democratic political board, and certainly in a protected group. And the Hillary Group is remarkably freer of interlopers, or at least, repeat interlopers, than the Sanders Group or this Group. The double standards on this board--or lack of standards-- could not be more obvious.

If Skinner changes the rules of the board or of safe haven groups, he and he alone, has the right to do that. Meanwhile, I will post relevant facts about any politician. Anyone who doesn't like it, put me on ignore or learn to cope.
