Justy because the media runs with the quick answer - should you believe it - well if so then you must believe Hillary is under investigation because the news media keeps saying that. I don't but that is because I look at the facts not the headlines.

Yes there was at least one death threat, they are bad and dangerous - but was it one or more? did she get the police on tracing that call? - hell I got a death threat from someone telling me they were the IRS and they insisted I give them my credit card information immediates or the police would arrive and arrest me, when I told her she needed to get a good life and stop trying to con people, oh, then the death threats and vindictive violent language really happened - you know what I did - called the police told the, She said she knew where I lived - surprise surprised - everyone knows where I live, I am listed in the phone book. She said she would send her boyfriend to rape me -I said ha ha ha right.
No, they are no joke = but you call the police and go on with your life you don't paint everyone with the brush - how many calls and threats did she get?
oh and here - part of the job

http://www.infowars.com/drudge-report-blamed-for-fec-chair-getting-death-threats/" target="_blank">037726|Exclusive: FBI details surge in death threats against lawmakers]

At no point would I ever say a death threat is OK or should be ignored, but how many did she get and why blame every Bernie supporter for what one person did. I have been pretty much insulted right here by a lot of Hillary supporters - do I go around saying Hillary supporters are Shit? no I don't. I realize some people step over the line, and I just walk away. some Bernie people here step over the line as well. I have PMed some to tone it down - doesn't work if people are of different support, they think you are attacking them again. Blowing everything out of proportion just makes your point invalid. Do people get booed at conventions - ALL THE TIME. that should not be a big deal.

She'd need three or four Water-boiling advisers and a wardrobe consultant, too. She'd have her SuperPAC send out a pair of tweets, one advertising "Homemaker Hillary," the other suggesting Sanders wants to pour boiling water on black people. That done, she would fill up four different-sized pots with varying amounts of water. But before turning the stove on, she'd make sure to consult her Republican colleagues in order to negotiate a consensus about the boiling temperature of water at sea level. Hillary Clinton's starting position would rightly be 212 Fahrenheit, Republicans would accuse her of being a global warming conspiracy theorist, and she'd drop her temperature down to 135.7 to allay their concerns. After setting the dials for all four burners, she will only use one, rotating all four pots between it at five-minute intervals. And then she would blame Barack Obama for the soup being late.
