being particularly coddling or receptive of the BoB bunch here. I haven't seen any that aren't vile and asinine as they come.
Then they cry about people being mean to them? It takes quite a huge set of cajones. It really does.

Heh. Remember when Rosario Dawson evoked Monica Lewinski's name at a NY rally in April, implying that they were being bullied by the Clintons et al., just as Monica had been (according to her)?

Also, when many claimed that the 'BernieBro' was a myth?

(Not to mention twice violently storming two different Trump rallies and causing unrest in NV.)

Physician, heal thyself!

Sanders should have put an end to this crap long ago. He didn't.

the waters by saying loud and clear that he does NOT condone this sort of behavior - instead of his mealy-mouthed, "naughty but you have the right to protest" shtick - and call upon his supporters at those YUGE rallies to stop, he could have put public distance between the antics of those "burn the country down" nihilists and hiding Teapublicans and his supporters. He failed to do so (big surprise ) and thus he owns it.

I hope the prosecutions begin soon when these threats are made. We are not Republicans, damn it!

Some kind of weird green tea party...this comes from Sanders refusing to firmly put his foot down about his supporters behavior.

Physical attacks on republicans and democrats, bullying reporters, party officials, delegates and death threats against children. What a bunch of thugs! At least POC don't have to worry about the word "Thug" as being a code word for them anymore, it's quickly becoming a dog whistle for Bernie fans!
