(Hillary Group) In Brief: No, Bernie Sanders. That's a Bad Bernie Sanders. - The Rude Pundit

In response to death threats against the Nevada Democratic Party Chair Roberta Lange after she was doxed following the upheaval at the state party's convention in Las Vegas, Bernie Sanders issued one of the stupidest fucking press releases the Rude Pundit has seen in a long damn time. See, the Sanders delegation appears to have been trying to shut the process down over what they saw as unfairness in the application of rules and in the way the convention's outcome was decided.

(snip)

But what Sanders is doing there is completely fucking irresponsible. By discussing violence against his campaign in the same breath as the death threats that came out of the convention, he is implying that Hillary Clinton's campaign or the Democratic Party was responsible for the "shots...fired" and the "apartment...ransacked." Is that a stretch? If it is, then why the fuck bring it up? To say, "Oh, you want violence? Here's some fuckin' violence"? Bullshit. There is an implied accusation, whether intentional or not. Chances are that this is some ham-fisted way of making a point.

And, hey, Bernie supporters, don't fucking respond to this with "Oh, the rules are too complicated" or "They shut down the process" or "Shillary is Killary" or whatever the fuck you want to respond with. Honestly, the uprising at the convention itself is the kind of shit we expect when passions run deep. The Sanders campaign conspiracy theorists will have fuel for weeks now, even though most of their complaints boil down to "rules suck, man." Tim Robbins has probably worn out his thumbs tweeting about it.

13. They're gonna need to run over him more than once nt

[KittyWampus]

2. 'shots fired'. When? Months ago? I guess all shots fired in the universe are Clinton's fault?

Some Sanders supporter has an apartment get broken into and it's Clinton's fault?

JFC, the stupidity and hypocrisy have gone to eleven.

7. Somebody found a bullet hole four months ago (updated with link)

At some place Bernie had been. There's no indication it was anything more than random.

I'll see if I can find the story. I don't think anything ever came of it.

Edit: here's one (sorry for the Sanders supporter link, it's the least objectionable one I could find - lol):

8. The Bern is getting seriously berned for his irresponsible, scorched earth march to irrelevance.

[Cha]

9. Couldn't happen to a more deserving burn-out.

[SunSeeker]

10. Rude NAILS IT: their complaints boil down to "rules suck, man."

[TwilightZone]

12. A mocking well deserved.

Act dumb, then take zero responsibility, double down on the dumb - mock-worthy.

14. That man has has his ass SPECTACULARLY handed to him in so many media outlets I can't keep up

Normally, the Rude Pundit is required reading on DU but I have a feeling that this particular one will go mostly unacknowledged by the same crowd either a) pretending that Nevada was really orchestrated by the Clinton campaign or b) pretending that losing Kentucky ain't no thang and getting a six point win in Oregon when he needed a 30+ point blowout means a goddamned thing at all.

And while the Rude Pundit has ignored much of the fuckery done by those followers to show how passionately they support Bernie, Sanders himself, through this response, may just have lost him this voter.

Damn right. And I got the feeling the Rude Pundit is by no means the only one washing their hands of the man after his behavior this week. Good Lord, how the mighty Sanders has fallen.

15. This was all over "losing out on four fucking delegates."

Weirdos. And I don't care if no chairs were actually thrown, I see someone pick up a chair and hold it over their head, the intent to throw the damn thing is there and it is scary. GUILTY.
