1. I had no idea that the Sanders campaign had so many mind readers on staff.

[sarae]

2. Right?

It seems like Jeff Weaver is regressing every time I hear him speak.

[liberal N proud]

3. Is there a Democrat that the BS campaign has NOT criticized?

[TwilightZone]

13. Whatshername from Hawaii

I don't think she's under the bus yet.

[Cha]

21. 'Cause she's a tool.. I should know she's my rep.

[TwilightZone]

22. If one's Islamophobia gets one on the go-to-Dem list for Fox...

I tend to take note.

She and Cornel West would probably get along.

[Cha]

23. They better.. they're all tools in the same box.

And, yuck.. I don't even know that side of her.

[DURHAM D]

4. Did he say anything about consensual rape?

[DemonGoddess]

5. great googley moogley!

What the hell???

[Gothmog]

6. Weaver is an ass

[BootinUp]

7. Gotta keep those suckers on the hook dontcha know. nt

[LuvLoogie]

8. Which came first--the Weaver or the meme?

[fleabiscuit]

9. He is the perfect representative for Sanders. n/t

[Cha]

20. No kidding!

[itsrobert]

10. So if she wasn't "feeling threaten" that makes the Bernie supporters calling her a "B" and a "C" ok?

What did Weaver say about that?

[TwilightZone]

14. Hey, she was asking for it.

Just ask some DU Sanders supporters.

[SaschaHM]

11. Yes, Jeff Weaver, continue to attack a very popular senator from CA.

I hope the Dem Caucus hits back hard.

[Thinkingabout]

12. Weaver is still trying to justify a mob mentality, he is not helping the situation, he does not

know how Barbara Boxer feelings, he is lying.

[George II]

15. A few days he claimed she didn't have a "RIGHT" to be afraid! Of course, she's a woman.

BTW, thanks for the video.

[Cha]

19. Hey that's right.. thanks for the reminder, G.. I just said, of course, he accused California's

beloved popular Senator of lying.. their campaign hasn't been smart yet .. why start now?

[sarae]

27. Yeah, it's infuriating...

He's gaslighting them and acting like an abusive boyfriend- trying to dismiss their fear. It's pretty disgusting. Who wouldn't feel fear in a situation like that?

[BainsBane]

16. There is a really disgusting piece in USAToday

Justifying all that crap. http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2016/05/24/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-nevada-democratic-convention-chair-column/84789144/

[sarae]

26. What a skewed article...

So "it never happened" because there's no video proof a chair was actually thrown? What about the mob hurling insults, rushing the stage and later leaving death threat voicemails? I can't believe the author's trying to deny that these people physically intimidated not only the chair, but her grandchildren and family. Should that kind of behavior pass for normal now?!

[BainsBane]

29. They selected only portions of the voice mails

Of course they did. That was the point, to show the press the nasty messages left for her. That article is minimizing threats of violence and misogynistic slurs, insults toward women in public life. It's horrendous. And get this. I found the article because an Episcopal Priest I know posted it on FB supposedly to refute claims about the convention.

This piece shows some footage, including the chair up in the air (but yes, not being thrown.)

[sarae]

32. As Jon Ralston said,

they're using the semantics of the chair issue as a distraction. There were plenty of issues with the way they acted, even if you ignore anything to do with chairs.

Thanks for the video!

[SharonClark]

43. I agree - get off the 'chair was thrown' meme

There is no proof and it gives the Sanders fans something to push back against. A chair was held overhead and waved is enough proof.

[ismnotwasm]

17. All this crap is bloody ridiculous

So weird.

[Cha]

18. Of course he did... he's that dumb to take on Senator Barbara Boxer in California.. accusing

their popular beloved Senator of "lying".

Hey, sarae~ Mahalo~

[sarae]

24. I think Weaver's going off the rails...

I don't understand him. Does he think this is winning them more votes?

Mahalo, Cha!

[Cha]

25. "going".. been off for awhile.. making sure he never gets back now.

Yeah, he's a vote getter .. that guy is. They all are. LOL

sarae~

[sarae]

30. Yes, such charming personalities they all have...

I can't wait until this primary is officially over (although it's already over to anyone who can do math).

[Cha]

35. We now say.. "can't wait until the voting is done.."

Skinner

I feel your pain, but we're going to let this thing keep running until the voting is done.

Once it's all over, we're going to clamp down pretty hard on the BS.

[still_one]

28. That is going to cost you California Weaver. California loves Senator Boxer

[Hekate]

37. From your lips to God's ears. Yes we do love and respect our Senator.

[still_one]

38. kick!!!!!!!

[tandot]

31. FucKing ignorant asshole

I might be scared when I am surrounded by thugs and bullies but I'll never let those thugs see it ... the more you make fun of our fears, the faster you'll lose support from the sane democrats

[DesertRat]

33. Another example of the BS camp

trying to win over Democratic superdelegates.

[TwilightZone]

34. Looks like the backlash from NV might be significant

FiveThirtyEight's projections show a huge Clinton surge in CA.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2046185

I'm still leery of that 62/36 projection, but the trend is clearly upward.

[Hekate]

36. The BBros (can I call them Bros now?) specialize in terrorizing women old enough to be their grandma

....and then mocking them for being angry about it and afraid.

Look at the list: Dolores Huerta. Barbara Boxer. Roberta Lange, the volunteer (unpaid) head of the Dems in Nevada. And I am quite sure this is an incomplete list.

I'll bet their mamas would be so proud if they knew.

[Fla Dem]

39. Go back to your comic book store Jeff, the Incredible Hulk misses you.

[all american girl]

40. It may just be me, but I'm seeing a pattern here with

this campaign and the supporters...not saying what, because I'm sure that will get me in trouble, but I bet everyone can figure it out.

[liberal N proud]

41. Was Weaver even there?

If he wasn't how in @#$@# can he make that determination?

[sarae]

42. Good point.

I read that Jeff Weaver wasn't even there, so I don't know he can make that kind of pronouncement. Even if he was there, he still doesn't know how they felt. I'm guessing there's a slight difference between being part of a mob vs. being the focus of an angry mob.

[Her Sister]

44. Such disrespectful non-sense!

finds new and varied ways to be disrespectful, and condescending and bullying!

[Hekate]

45. Lots of support for that meme here

[Koinos]

46. As the Sanders campaign continues to alienate potential allies...
