By Rebecca SchoenkopfIf 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 dont drown out and scream at Barbara Boxer that shes 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 wouldnt have had to fling chimpanzee shit all over Las Vegass Paris hotel if they hadnt 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, Emilys 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 dont 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 dont need to Swear Fealty and Fall in Line in the reeducation camp that is the comments.)

(31,700 posts)1. Follow up on the Email
I followed up with the Clark County Democratic Party and received an email indicating that committed delegates who checked in at the Friday night meeting DID have their votes counted on Saturday. So the Email was not fraudulent. It turns out that the only reason that Sanders won the county convention was because large numbers of Clinton delegates simply didn't think it was important enough to bother showing up at either event. The caucus voters who voted for Hillary Clinton should be enraged, not at Sanders or his supporters, but at their own elected delegates.
