A somewhat prominent actor meets a couple at 3:30 A.M. on a Saturday morning, learns they are Sanders supporters, and beats them up.

Could be true. I suspect there's more to it.

It was absolutely awful.

I won't vote for her again.

She was one of my favorites, but that speech was not worthy of a senator from any party. She sounded childish, not very intelligent.

Amazingly out of control. I realize that the situation was difficult. But the mark of a professional is grace, poise and self-control. She showed none of the above.

A pitiful speech is a pitiful speech. It will be very difficult for her to recover from that one.

..."called a bitch." It doesn't say by whom or how many.

The OP changes that to "Bernie supporters" so we supposedly know the politics of the speaker(s) and that there was more than one.

a "fucking bitch" last nite. Actually he shouted it in her face.

Public officials are used to being called every name in the book, it comes with the territory but a young woman did not deserve that.

So spare me your "holier than thou" attitude.

Because someone "can take it" and is in public life is justification for being called a bitch. All the strong bitches deserve whatever they get called because they can take it.

Crazed Hillary Fan Arrested in Violent Attack on Bernie Supporters

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511966599

Like the HRC fan did? Or did they say that they should all be killed in airstrikes like this HRC fan?


Or say this...


You have issues if you think that a person getting cheated and having the convention corrupted right in front of their eyes by a person linked by marriage to the HRC camp would not understandably say a few negative words...I think I would have rushed the stage...though they had a ton of cops, almost like they expected to break the rules.
