Those "thousands" of violent threats from alleged Bernie campaigners are total bull shit!

The Bernie campaign is doing no such thing.

These false changes and many more to come are designed to discredit and paint Bernie supporters as "violent radical communist terrorists" who must be placed under the watchful eye of Homeland Security, especially at the Democratic Party convention which must remain protest free!

And I have to wonder how many Hillary and/or Trump supporters are pretending to be Bernie backers in order to attack the Bernie campaign? Hillaryites are desperately holding on and we all know that Trump would rather face Hillary Clinton in the general election than Bernie Sanders.

How many of those e-mails have been publicly released by those poor bullied Democratic party officials? And actual death threats can be traced and would lead to actual criminal charges.

or because it's believable?

I think it's the first one. Just look at the actual video of actual Sanders supporters in LA and NV. Children, moms, and the disabled are not spared.

I am sure such things are in David Brock's budget.

That said, getting nasty emails on the Internet is about as hard as getting a sunburn in the Sahara.

And if it succeeds Hillary will capture the nomination and Trump will crush Hillary in the general election.

Maybe that's what some Democratic party big shots want. Some Democratic party office holders have already said openly that they can work with Donald Trump if he is elected President!

paying attention.. but unfortunately a lot of people aren't and they are still relying on the corporate media (we know which candidates they want) to inform them.. thus this new "Bernie supporters are dangerous" meme has been unveiled.. the Nevada fiasco was just the starting point and now they will continue with their disingenuous claims because the establishment/ media has their candidates already chosen.. is anyone surprised that Boxer (California Senator) and upcoming primary state was the target of these "evil" Sanders supporters?? Coincidence?? Connect the dots.. La, La.. La-La

Make no mistake, preparations to stomp out any dissent in Philadelphia have been mocked up for months.. this is just their unveiling, we're coming in for a landing and itz going to be rough..

can demonstrate "bad behavior", we're talking about a campaign to smear all Sanders supporters as dangerous - that is what is going on here.. I don't fall for the minutia of so-called Sanders supporters sending mean texts or a so-called Hillary supporter assaulting a women.. distractions don't interest me..

The big picture is not pretty, but there it is - for those that have followed along and not dependent on others to tell them what to think..

encourage it by continuing the nonsense "cheating" meme, especially since the campaign that has been caught cheating time and again is Sanders own. Examples: data stealing, misappropriating logos, impersonating union members.

doing some of that. No doubt there are also some real Bernie supporters who are justifiably irate about the cheating marathon that the DNC and Camp Weathervane are engaged in.
