    The PAC this week launched an initiative called “Barrier Breakers 2016,” which is composed of a “task force” that will debate ‘Bernie Bros,’ presumably supporters of the Senator Sanders’s campaign, as referred to by their official press release.

    According to Correct the Record, the task force will “combat online political harassment,” boasting that it has already “addressed more than 5,000 individuals who have personally attacked Secretary Clinton on Twitter.”

    “The task force will provide a presence and space online where Clinton supporters can organize and engage with one another and are able to obtain graphics, videos, gifs, and messaging to use in their own social spaces,” the group states.

    “Additionally, the Barrier Breakers 2016 task force hopes to embrace the creativity of Hillary Clinton’s supporters by sharing their efforts and content with other groups,” it continues.

    “Barrier Breakers 2016 is focused on pushing out positive content to Hillary supporters online to counter negative attacks and false narratives,” Correct the Record’s communications director, Elizabeth Shappell, told The Daily Beast. “The expanded task force was established in anticipation of the general election.”

    Yes. But they're not new. Just the same non Christian trolls we've had for awhile. But I expect one or 2 new ones to show up soon.

    IMO, some of you are so used to being able to marginalize the comments of everyone who doesn't puppet what you say or agree with your point of view that you'd view anything in opposition to your POV as trolling.

    There is an air on this board and in the SBC that seems to think that the Fox News perspective is the equivalent of being a true "conservative" and anything that goes against that is trolling.

    And the trend seems to be that some of you only accuse people of trolling when it comes to issues of race and politics that some of you believe your word must be gospel.

    The slave owners marginalized slaves like that too.

    Really, Zaac? You bring up slaves?

    I would use a stronger word than marginalize for slavery. And I don't think wealthy southern land owners were trolling their slaves.

    I was referencing them marginalizing the lives of the slaves. The slaves themselves didn't matter other than as a piece of property. So what they had to say certainly didn't matter.

    That carried over to the 1960s where the lives of anyone not in the majority still didn't matter and what they had to say mattered even less.

    The same type marginalization continues to this day. So much so that often when a group of black people express something that they believe to be factual because they have experienced it, certain individuals in the media and a certain rev around these parts has to reply with the lone black person they can find to give an opinion contrary to what the group of black people have said.

    They then try to play it off as perfectly innocent. But it's nothing more than the continuation of the marginalization of certain lives to not have value that has taken place in this country since it's founding. It's an indirect way of saying we know how you feel. But we don't care and to show you how much we don't care, we're gonna get someone who looks just like you to contradict what you have said, so that what you have said is seen to carry little to no value.

    It's marginalization.


    The same tactics are being used today.

    The use of the word "marginalize is far left propaganda. In other words it is a lie, those who use it know it is a lie, but they are trying to sway public opinion through the raising of emotions (contrary to logic). It is evil, dishonest, lacks integrity and should have no place in Christian conversations.

    The opening of the mouth to speak against their obvious and historically proven marginalization is far right propaganda promulgated pretentiously to bamboozle and mathematically marginalize everyone except the myrmidonic masses with whom it agrees. It's akin to witchcraft and is unGodly and deserves no place in Christian conversations.
