Bernie promised a positive campaign...yet we have death threats, throwing chairs, making kids cry,

booing of the disabled, ugly ugly messages (facebook, voice mail, twitter) from his supporters.

What happened?

Did they miss the message?

Its entirely possible people going out of their way to be annoying are not really Bernie supporters.

I think its quite likely many are not.

They may not work for Hillary either, I would look at industries like the he**** i******** and d*** (???) industries that have a large stake in the election's outcome and likely also a substantial amount of money to throw at the election to get their candidate elected, via trickery.

It's not Bernie's fault.

What would make someone without a criminal background attack someone like this? It's the rhetoric about Bernie supporters IMO. The million dollar investment in social media seems to be doing it's job.

The caller on the audio tape sounded very calm.

If somebody did threaten her granddaughter that is not acceptable. But again there's no proof just hearsay.

Because you are pure any contradiction or disagreement is heresy. The people who disagree, apostates.

There is an emotional investment so that attacks on the object of purity is an attack on oneself.

Theirs is a metaphysical certainty that compares to the religious.
