Loud cursing, shouting, obscene gestures and vile insults, including crude comments about the female anatomy. It was all on display over the weekend as supporters of Bernie Sanders turned the Nevada State Democratic Convention into chaos.
"I was not able to stop these people for doing what they did," Boxer, a Hillary Clinton supporter, told CNN. "Apparently they've done it before. .... This group of about 100 were very vocal, and I can't describe it -- disrespectful doesn't even explain it, it was worse than that."
READ: Changing super delegate rules would still leave Sanders behind
Boxer is hardly the lone Clinton supporter to experience such harassment on the campaign trail. Several top Democrats told CNN publicly and privately that the energy and enthusiasm of Sanders supporters has at times descended into incendiary attacks that threaten to tear apart efforts to unite Democrats against Donald Trump. Several female senators told CNN the attacks have been misogynistic.

What's more, many Democrats fear that if Sanders does not rein in his supporters, the same ugly scene that occurred in Las Vegas last weekend could replicate itself in the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
"He should get things under control," Boxer said of Sanders, saying it was worse than the vitriol during the Bush-Gore 2000 recount. "We're in a race that is very critical. We have to be united. He knows that. I have in fact, called him a couple times, left a couple messages. I'm hopeful he can get control of this."
Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California said "I do" when asked if Sanders should drop out of the race after voting concludes on June 7, giving Clinton a chance to "pivot" to the general election ahead of the July convention.

Love the anti-Bernie, pro-Hillary slants. Unmentioned in the article: Bernie's Nevada offices shot up, and the shenanigans around the Nevada Democratic Caucus (moving the date to UNLV Graduation day, last minute removal of credentials from pro-Bernie Delegates and refusing to hear challenges to the decertification, etc.)

Hell I coulda told you that. That Crotchety bastard sent the most rowdy NeverTrump folks of them all.

The Democratic establishment, the assholes who give the party a bad name, are scared shitless that Bernie might actually win the nomination. It's currently a nose-to-nose race in Kentucky (47.1% to 46.3%) and Oregon is expected to go Bernie. The narrow lead that Clinton has thanks to all the propaganda by major news outlets is fading. If it weren't for all that propaganda, Bernie would have slaughtered her.

The Democrat establishment is really stupid. Bernie wins in just about every swing state. Who cares which Democrat Kentucky chooses in the primary? Kentucky is voting Republican in the general election, so it doesn't matter. Same for Clinton's other victories.

If Clinton gets the nomination, there's a damn good chance we'll be saluting President Trump in 8 months. If Bernie gets the nomination, he wins the general election for sure.

It's fucking tied in Kentucky now!

5   Dan8267   2016 May 17, 6:01pm  

It really doesn't matter at this point because the delegates will be split even. So it's up to Oregon to make a difference and if that stoner state votes Hillary then this country is just fucked up.

Another idea is to vote the Bern.

Death threats and vandalism followed, prompting Nevada Democratic Party offices to close on Monday and its chairwoman, Roberta Lange, to release some downright disgusting voicemails and text messages she had received from Sanders supporters. She also reported threats against her grandchildren.

This is false

But not surprising that an uninformed person like yourself would be gullible enough to lap up and regurgitate the Clinton narrative

Well, Barbara Boxer protects a lot of Bankers.

It is funny, when these creitns insulted Trump supporters and called them worse names-it was Trump's fault. Now that they turn their fury on Hillary-suddenly they are bad and the dem establishment asks Bernie to tone them down. Where were they when they were exhibiting much worse behavior on Trump supporters. Somebody put a grave marker or some such for trump in central park. His son and sister got white packets with threats that next time it would be real.

Democrats will get women votes because they are not sexists:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/ex-governor-more-ugly-women-attractive-women-us-172106571--election.html?ref=gs
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell says Donald Trump's past comments on women will likely come back to haunt him because Rendell says "there are probably more ugly women in America than attractive women."

The Democrat was offering his thoughts to The Washington Post on the likely Republican nominee's prospects for success in the Philadelphia suburbs when he made the comment. Rendell says Trump's comments might gain him some working-class Democratic voters, but will cost him Republican women because he says "people take that stuff personally."

This scenario looks way too familiar in today's America: power talking down to the little people, and some are bad little people tsk tsk. Count on the cops, the private cops, the body guards, the secret cops, the ATF cops, the SWAT cops with their war surplus to rescue the elites from the pitchforks and escort them into their limos and jets.

Spoken like a true Comrade.

I sometimes wonder whether Obama was put into office as a test

Obama was elected by the average Joe's.

Corruption: we will stand still for it. And we prove it every day. Cops show up and beat up some protesters and haul them off and that is the end of it. It barely makes any news. That Occupy movement was different, they were lead by a very sophisticated organization, and still the media managed to make them look like a group of weirdos who want something unexplainable anyway. You can't expect a lot of protest groups to be so well choreographed as they were, protesting is a tricky treacherous business.

What do you think the cops do to protesting and starving Venezuelans?

Bernie has no chance of winning. Just look at the odds.

Donald Trump had no chance of winning six months ago. Now he is at even odds of being our next POTUS.

Yeah but repubs don't have superdelegates. Without superdelegates, Hillary and Bernie are actually much closer. Perhaps that is Bernie's plan-shame the superdelegates into voting for him.

I can vouch for that!

women can look as beautiful (read powerful)

Looking powerful and looking beautiful are not the same thing. Case in point...


Hulk smash

Actually, She-Hulk looked a lot more feminine.


I'll be in my bunk.

And no, that's not photoshopped. The woman's name is Roth Christine who would be hot if she didn't look like Arnold Schwarzenegger from the neck down.

Not beautiful at all, but damn she does look powerful.

No successful socialist/communist Great Paradise begins without the liquidation of 30 percent of the greedy, overreaching, class besotted, over-intelligent populace.

Amusing that CNN was panning Bernie Supporters for low-brow Vagina Rhetoric.

Then turned around a few months later in January 2017 and just gushed with support and love for "Pussy Hats"
20   CBOEtrader   2018 Mar 4, 5:06pm  

Considering WikiLeaks revealed moveon.org HRC supporters were dressing as Bernie supporters, this reporting seems suspect at best. It shows how leftists will turn their "DEPLOREABLES" propaganda on each other as needed.

I don't know how anyone goes for this BS. I legit feel bad for the left, they are disgustingly brainwashed.

The Infighting has only just begun.

The past two nights were a battle as to who represents the Far Left.

The Old Guard Dems see it, but the Squad is on the attack.

Aren't all primary debates bruising? Why would this one be any different?
