No Chairs Thrown at Nevada State Democratic Convention


If you heard in the mainstream press that Bernie supporters were violent at the Nevada state Democratic convention, you were lied to.

No chairs were thrown. There were no assaults or threats. This video shows what REALLY happened.

The Hillary supporter yelled at the little girl and made her cry!

That wasn't very nice!

I just heard Nina a Turner say she was taken aback by DWS and her charge of violence by the Bernie supporters.

Threatening texts, tweets, etc.? There is an epidemic of those all over the place, not just here, how does that reflect on Bernie?

The HRC crowd including MSNBC must be desperate to be throwing his out there.

It recalls the old LBJ story, about his running for congress.....he suggested floating the story of his opponents having sex with cows. When his aide said there is no evidence of that LBJ said he knew, he just wanted to have the "SOB" deny it.

And Mr.Ralston did not do himself any favors by reporting a total false story. Sad to say,this convention was to be Coronation of Hillary and nothing more. Nobody threw any chairs,but what the heck,it makes for a nice headline does it not. Just another media false equivalency.

Karl Rove after the Bill Clinton administration members moved out. No video or photographic evidence ever surfaced, but shitbag Rove got the headlines he wanted.

6. I've never seen such a craven smear job perpetrated in my life!

It is absolutely pathetic. Of course, there was NO way that the Nevada Democratic Party wasn't going to spin this to kingdom come because if they didn't, guess who looks not only like a cheater but a bit unhinged? Yes, Robert Gustav Lange, esteemed ruler of the Nevada Democratic convention. The truly immoral thing is how Wasserman Schultz, Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer and other sundry Democratic Party "luminaries" and, of course, the corporate owned media spread Lange's self-protecting attack far and wide through decontextualized comments, innuendo, and outright lies. The delegate difference doesn't really matter. What matters to the Bernie Sanders Nevada delegates (and at least some Hillary Clinton delegates) is that the convention was an absolute travesty. What matters to Lange and the rest of the Nevada party bosses is that all those hours of video footage prove exactly what went down - they had to get ahead of that nightmare and put a wildly different narrative into the news cycle. What matters to the corporate media and the National Democratic party is that Bernie Sanders go down and get out, now. The whole thing is rotten and the Democratic Party is going to pay a price unless they simply don't care if they lose many, many members of the party on account of "we the people" being just so "yesterday." My mother is 82 years old and has belonged to the Democratic Party all her voting life. She now feels incredible derision and disgust for the party and will register Independent after the election, or after the California primary as the case may be.

8. Not much different from the smear job of a week or two ago when the Daily News interview

hit job took place. The next day the Clintonistas in the media were claiming that Bernie was incoherent and confused and generally didn't know what he was talking about. When Hillary said she was sick and tired of Bernie's use of the artful smear she was projecting. She is the queen of the artful smear.

I love how some Hillarians are critical of simple human emotion. When people see their votes being ignored, they get angry. When they see the ones supposedly in charge of conducting fair processes not doing so, they get angry.
