Wonkette: Nice Grandpa Bernie Sanders Gonna BURN YOUR SH*T DOWWWWWN
If you were waiting for Bernie Sanders to release a statement on the clusterfuck that was the Nevada state Democratic convention, hooray! He has done so! If you were waiting for Bernie Sanders to release a statement telling his supporters “hey maybe don’t drown out and scream at Barbara Boxer that she’s a fucking bitch for having a different preference in the Democratic primary than you do,” you are going to have to wait a little bit longer.
No, Bernie Sanders is going down swinging, and doubling down, and other metaphors from baseball and/or gambling (or both if you are Pete Rose or Shoeless Joe Jackson). See, his supporters wouldn’t have had to fling chimpanzee shit all over Las Vegas’s Paris hotel if they hadn’t been robbed, by which we mean they lost.
Wonkette has been officially neutral in the Democratic primary, until now. (We know, angry commenters; Wonkette says it has been neutral but has been a reliable source of bought-and-paid-for neoliberal corporate piece of shit one-percenter shilling for a mass murderer who will be arrested for “emails” any day now. Fair enough!)
But if your “revolution” includes disinformation, aimed to rile up your supporters, that would make Pravda and Ronald Reagan blush, you can make like your healthcare, and keep it!
(Also, if you consider Barbara Boxer, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Dolores Huerta, Planned Parenthood, Emily’s List, Barney Frank, Harry Reid and John Lewis to be Enemies of your State, you probably need to sit down with a mug of Ovaltine and give your animal farm and Four Legs Bad Two Legs Better a super double plus good unthink.)
Before you tell us to WATCH THE VIDEOS — we have. They don’t show the blinding righteousness of your side that you think they do. What they show to most of us is the kind of screaming, violent temper tantrum for not getting your way — which happens sometimes in a democracy, or even a republic! — that is turning you into nihilist shitbirds. (Present company excepted. We know almost none of you would ever behave like a common thug — though you have your moments! — and we promise you don’t need to Swear Fealty and Fall in Line in the reeducation camp that is the comments.)

Look out it's a commie army marching on the Las Vegas convention! Head for the hills!
Hide the women and children from Bernie's red Marxist-Lennonist thugs!

Point proven, it seems.
Wonkette's point proven.
"But if your “revolution” includes disinformation, aimed to rile up your supporters, that would make Pravda and Ronald Reagan blush, you can make like your healthcare, and keep it! "
Tell it, Wonkette!
She said nice things about both candidates, and also made fun of both. Which is ok because it is a political satire site.
Sanders is getting MURDERED for that press release. I had avoided reading about the NV thing as much as possible, but when you are the "progressive" candidate and you lose Wonkette and Mother Jones, you did a bad thing. 
His Rudeness is PISSED OFF!
"And while the Rude Pundit has ignored much of the fuckery done by those followers to show how passionately they support Bernie, Sanders himself, through this response, may just have lost him this voter. "
That is a tortured sentence, but yeah, I feel ya, Rude.
Also, the comment about Tim Robbins wearing out his thumbs was damn funny 
Rude and Wonkette are soooooo establishment now 
Perfect!

Fucking nailed it.
