Nevada Chair threw the convention. For Hillary.

That's the chair throwing they're talking about.

1. Yes, she did. And it was a chilling demonstration of democracy subverted. n/t

2. Love it!

3. It's classic anti-protest ratfucking.

Like when 100,000 people show up to protest a war and instead of reporting that, or actually speaking with organizers or showing the speakers, the media instead shows pictures either of a) isolated, strange-looking hippies or b) someone angry or violent.

In this case they didn't have pictures of any violence so they sheer made it up. Maddow used WWE footage and spoke of chairs thrown, in the plural.

7. Yes. Shades of WTO

That was shut down nonviolently, but you'd never have known it from the news stories, which were inevitably accompanied by photos of black bloc types shattering store windows.

5. K&R for Reality.

6. K&R for creativity.

8. And because Bernie Sander's supporters responded in a way

that any sane person would do in the face of contemptible cronyism, Hillary supporters are trying to deflect attention from the unfairness of the process by pointing out to their behavior.

9. Hartmann had 2 eye witnesses on the show today

You can get the podcast and hear it.

Basically This is an attempt to swiftboat Bernies supporters to keep them out of the convention

One of the guests is DNC (and a Bernie Supporter) and she told the story of her father, also there, and a CLinton Supporter and a former SUper Delegate - tore up his ballot and left because of the Crap that the Nevada Chair and Party was pulling

BOth guests said the convention was rigged

10. Boom!

Well-said. Now that the "chair-throwing" has been shown to be a lie.

[lumberjack_jeff]

11. Exactly. n/t

12. Can anyone confirm that the Nevada Chair (Roberta Lange) was actually a Bernie supporter?

I read that somewhere, possibly in that Wonkette piece; but I would like some additional verification. If true, that certainly throws a monkey wrench into this mess.
