Maddow: "EEEK!! Bernie's going to destroy the Democratic Party."

[99th_Monkey]

She is beside herself that Sanders had the audacity actually "running to win",
rather than simply running a "protest campaign" and calling it good.

But wait, now she's saying Sanders supporters are "violent" and planning to
disrupt the convention and irreparably split the Party with mass civil "defiance"
and disobedience.

Man, Rachael is getting harder to watch every day. The M$M lies about "violence"
at the NV convention have been debunked, yet the lies continue.

[FreakinDJ]

1. Dumped listening to Maddow weeks ago

[MaeScott]

3. Ignored us, laughed at us, now fighting us....all that's left is we WIN!

[lewebley3]

18. Sanders is lying to his supporters, he cannot win: he is dishonest

[Fawke Em]

62. His supporters know this is an uphill battle.

We're not dumb.

But we also know the front-runner is under a criminal investigation. We want Bernie in the catbird's seat should the party try to seat some other right-wing "Democrat" if Hillary has to bow out.

We know the score. Really we do.

And, we don't want him to drop out. We're still sending in donations and attending his rallies by the train loads.

No one is lying to us, as much as you want to spread that silliness.

[libdem4life]

83. This^^^^would not be an issue without the FBI granting immunity

and scheduling depositions for top aides. That's an uphill battle.

That and ridiculuosly trying to convince politically astute adults that this is just a VRWC being propelled by the FBI.

Guess both "sides" have uphill battles.

[pdsimdars]

38. I stopped months ago and can't believe I did.

Her's was the only show I had been watching and would never have believed I would ever quit. But she showed who she really is.
Like I emailed her, life is not all brains, her being a Rhodes Scholar and all. But life requires BOTH heart and mind. Neither one in itself is enough. It's important to be smart, but EQUALLY important to be awake inside. That's why all the great spiritual teachers talk about compassion and helping the least among us, etc. It tells the smart people what they should use their smarts for.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

45. Welcome to a NOT so exclusive club!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[Ferd Berfel]

81. She's just another COrporate stooge protecting her pay check

I stopped watching that network after they canned Schultz - Fuck 'em

[frylock]

125. I bailed after they canned Donahue.

When was that? 2003? The only time I ever turn that channel on is when they host a debate or townhall.

[Ferd Berfel]

185. I did to, for awhile

but I gave them a second chance when they brought on Olbernann, schults and a few others.
NOw that COMCAST has them - It's obviously over. FOX-lite for the Republican 'centrist'. Stick a fork in it.

[Skink]

2. Fox should hire her for this campaign.

[Faux pas]

4. Yeah both she

and Chris Hayes are beginning to lose all credibility with me. Too bad and too sad.

[lewebley3]

19. Hayes is just telling you the truth: Sanders has been rejected

[Actor]

57. So they report the facts and your reaction is to do this? Sad

[Fawke Em]

66. Editorializing isn't telling "the truth."

It's just an opinion.

The Democratic Party is already split. It has nothing to do with Bernie. It has to do with the fact that Hillary represents the pro-corporate, neoliberal wing of the party that many Boomers and Gen Xers have begun to reject and Millennials never liked.

[Faux pas]

88. Nothing

to see here.

[demwing]

112. 1. Redefine the word "facts"

2. Only present "facts" that fit your agenda (lie)

3. Cash the paycheck!

[Actor]

116. So you think Rachel is a liar? That is what right wingers think.

[demwing]

117. You think media mouthpieces don't lie? That is what sycophants think.

[Actor]

118. Can you point to a lie of hers? I am just a dumb sycophant and would like to see if you can,

educate me please.

[frylock]

126. Well she's lying about the violence in NV.

[demwing]

145. right, thus the OP

[Actor]

172. I think I just figured out who is who around here, I was confused at first

by the phrase "Democratic Underground" but I have now figured this place out.

[frylock]

173. Did you miss that class at Brock U?

[Actor]

177. While you play this deadly game, the world is scared to death you will be successful

President Barack Obama is trying but failing to reassure foreign leaders convinced that Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States. They're in full-boil panic.

blame yourselves

[Actor]

183. Who is "ourselves" I thought this was a board for liberal Democrats, or liberals?

[demwing]

176. So what the fuck is Democratic about vote suppression and fraud?

if you're not angered by those issues, then get the hell outta the way.

[Actor]

179. So the Democratic Party is committing voter fraud? Say that again please.

[demwing]

181. So what the fuck is Democratic about vote suppression and fraud?

if you're not angered by those issues, then get the hell outta the way.

This time I typed it slowly...

[demwing]

144. You understand the OP has already established this, correct?

I'm not going to go back to the beginning of the thread and run in endless circles for you…

[VulgarPoet]

169. The vast majority of them are lemmings, demwing. You have to remember one phrase concerning them:

"Fuck'em."

[demwing]

180. Good point

[Exilednight]

5. Maddie hasn't been relevant since KO left. Her audience

Was there because of Keith's strong lead in. Once Keith left, she lost her edge. It was Keith who got her the job and helped push her to speak her conscience, but Keith left and MSNBC shifted directions, I believe it rattled her and she fell into corporate line.

[jwirr]

68. Not to mention that she may truly support Hillary but she is

not doing her job. She is not telling the whole story. Both sides unbiased.

[Vincardog]

85. That and a $7 Million dollar pay check go a long way to destroy her integrity.

[LisaM]

132. You've got to be kidding! She came into her own after he left.

He's burned bridges at every single job he's had. His show had gotten so awful I couldn't bear to watch it. Remember those godawful pontificating things he did - I forget what he called them, "special" something or others, and he'd stare into the camera like he was doing an impression of Edward R. Murrow, all puffed up with importance, and wag his finger and say things, like "you, sirrrr....." in a weird shaky voice, then throw paper around.

It was embarrassing.

Having Rachel there saved their bacon. The fact that people from both sides get regularly disappointed in her probably shows that she's trying to stay neutral.

[passiveporcupine]

159. She is not trying to stay neutral

If you think she is being neutral, you are so far to the right you can't tell what neutral is any more.

[redwitch]

6. Sorry Rachel but the Democratic Party is destroying itself.

And has been for a very long time.

[99th_Monkey]

11. +10 --> Can't argue with that, even If I wanted to. n/t

[lewebley3]

20. Sadly Sanders is destroying himself: fame has gone to his head

[Hiraeth]

24. deteriorated from the inside out. same with the R party.

[Lizzie Poppet]

30. And to be blunt, good riddance to both.

The major parties are probably the biggest contributors to the sorry state our political system finds itself in. They've become empty brands with no soul, no core principles save for "winning is all that matters." Fuck that.

I want so very much for the Democratic party to save itself from the fate that the Third Way has dragged it towards, but I find it hard to shake the feeling that Bernie's candidacy was the last chance...and the corporatists have won.

[Hiraeth]

35. still holding my breath on that last statement.

[Lizzie Poppet]

40. Yeah, so am I, actually. That was unnecessarily gloomy.

[Hiraeth]

50. it is getting surreal, right

[Blue Meany]

79. I concur. Get rid of parties altogether; the founders were suspicious of them for good

reason--they concentrate power. With ranked choice (instant runoff) voting, I'm not sure we need parties or primaries. And if we had publicly funded campaigns for those with a certain number of petition signatures that were structured to focus them on issues, we might have a shot at a functioning democracy.

[VulgarPoet]

170. To paraphrase Jefferson...

[question everything]

37. And Sanders and his supporters are the main weapon

The reason why Trump appears to beat Clinton is thanks to this renegade group.

Go ahead and start a socialist tea party and send your representative to Congress.

Mostly be happy with a Trump presidency. You've earned it. Enjoy

[Amaril]

82. Now, now

If Trump wins, you don't have to share the credit with us. You guys have earned that one all on your own.

[Raster]

109. Already going to blame tRump on Sanders supporters?

Why don't you blame your candidate? The polls show over and over and over again, that she either LOSES TO TRUMP, or wins by the narrowest of margins. You do get that, right? You have your primary hissy fits left and right, HOWEVER, in the general election, your gal Hill is projected to either lose to Trump or to have a steady, uphill battle to do little more than break even.

But go ahead, ignore reality. Blame anyone and everyone EXCEPT YOUR CRAPPY CANDIDATE. Oh, and by the way, enjoy the Trump presidency. You've earned it.

[demwing]

115. It's NEVER Hillary's fault

it's always someone else - Republicans, Progressives, the Press, Bernie, You, Me...

Hillary is like a vampire - she has no reflection

[floriduck]

7. Mark my words. MSNBC will be sold by Comcast as soon as Trump wins. Their mission will have

been accomplished. Their viewership is already dwindling and it will be time to cut and run. Then the scramble for survival will begin with their talking heads.

[PFunk1]

131. TYT basicly said the same thing.

But didn't mention Comcast buying then (probably 'cause they didn't own them as of yet). Another question is who will pick them up when the sale if made. Either way I don't see a future in the corporate media for any of their talking heads in the aftermath-Maddow included.

[mindwalker_i]

8. The Democratic Party (tm) is destroying itself

They're doing a good job.

[lewebley3]

28. Sanders people are destroying his message with violence

[question everything]

41. Not sure. With all the parellels with Trump

both groups are happy and embolden when their leaders are painted in bad image.

The more anarchism the better.

[jeff47]

52. Two candidates have supporters who have been arrested for violence.

Neither one is Sanders.

Please stop lying.

[mindwalker_i]

63. You are a liar

[Katashi_itto]

64. Hillbot.

[pangaia]

140. Ignore him. He just needs the attention

[Raster]

110. Completely untrue. More lies and media manipulation.

[notadmblnd]

9. She's such a victim

Seems she cornered the victim market on at least 3 levels.

[lewebley3]

22. NO, its the American people that will be the victims without

Hillary.

[question everything]

43. They don't care. They will welcome Trump

Like all the Republicans for them it is anyone but Hillary.

I hope that after November the supporters here will stay away from DU. Assuming there is still DU.

[notadmblnd]

75. ...

You was a comedian in a past life, wasn't you?

[libdem4life]

86. No, probably was an spokesperson for The Royal Crown,

back in the Medieval Days.

[notadmblnd]

87. Just another jester hoping to sing for the king and queen

[libdem4life]

90. Sounds like it. But at least they disguised it as humor...this one is lacking that

particular attribute.

[notadmblnd]

91. I was being facetious

No, I don't really think that particular person has any comedic talent now or in any past life.

[libdem4life]

93. I know...I just played on it.

[Art_from_Ark]

151. The jester wants to sing for the king and queen

in a coat he borrowed from James Dean

[Fawke Em]

166. Did he borrow his coat from James Dean?

His voice comes from you and me.

Oh, and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned

And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died

[merrily]

10. The Hillary Campaign's Project "Discredit him, disqualify him and unify the Party later."

http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/06/politics/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-democrats-unity/

And then there's the Hillary campaign's Project "Bernie Lost Me," which finally explains to me a phenomenon on this board I've been mocking for months because poseurs on this board were not sufficiently skillful to pull it off. Bernie's supporters have taken the and used it for their own purposes, ending their #BernieLostMe tweets with #HillaryLostMe.

Sadly, I can't use it because I never pretended to be a Hillary supporter in the first place.

[lewebley3]

23. Sanders is discrediting himself: he is lying about winning

[merrily]

42. No, he is not. That is a Brock meme. I am on Bernie's mailing list and know what he is saying.

Besides, your post does not alter the fact that the Hillary campaign has these projects, so your reply is irrelevant to my post.

Thanks anyway.

[riversedge]

152. Another sanders fan obsessed with Brock. te he I am glad he gets you goat...

[merrily]

161. Obsessed? LOL! The things some of you come up with are entertaining, and reveal a lot about you.

[libdem4life]

92. No one is claiming "winning" but the HRC Crowd. I get Bernie's emails, too

and he says Nothing Of The Kind. What he does say is he is not quitting. So please dispense with your closed loop tape...it's old, dreary and past its due date.

[Skwmom]

108. Isn't that the truth.

[caquillo]

13. "She is beside herself that Sanders had the audacity actually 'running to win'"

Sanders has no chance of winning. He's behind nearly 300 pledged delegates, 3 million votes, and contests won. He has no chance to make up that deficit, which is why he wants to plead to the unpledged delegetates (aka superdelegates) to flip to him, as a last resort, except the supers have always sided with the candidate with the most pledged delegates. Also, after last weekend and Sanders' vow to contest the DNC and his supporters threats to riot, I doubt ANY supers will switch now. In fact, one of Sanders' own supers jumped ship this week. My how the worm begins to turn!

[Maedhros]

55. Look, another one.

/ignore list.

[litlbilly]

149. ditto, wow these idiots are popping up in droves. or should i say, in d---Roves:)

[Maedhros]

158. There's Boxers and Boxers of them. [n/t]

[Blue_In_AK]

67. That whole "3 million votes" thing is such a crock.

You do realize that the actual caucus attendees have not been counted in those totals but only delegates to state conventions? I've seen several places where allegedly only 500-some people voted in Alaska when I know for a fact that at least 400 people showed up to caucus from my district alone. The caucus at West High School in Anchorage was so packed that the fire marshal showed up and sent some of the districts outside.

This has been the case for all the caucus states, most of which Bernie has won, and seriously skews the vote totals.

[libdem4life]

89. The Senior Senator from California is getting a bit antsy.

Perhaps she chatted with Barbara Boxer.

There is a law of physics that the longer a force is held down, the more power it is able to wield when the "lid" finally comes off. That may be the case here.

[passiveporcupine]

160. Like a pressure cooker

And we've been under too much pressure for a long time now. The steam is starting to escape around the edges.

[libdem4life]

165. Good analogy. Hillary has surely turned up the heat.

[frylock]

127. ..

[MineralMan]

14. OK, but see this:

http://www.politicususa.com/2016/03/29/rachel-maddows-rating-92-msnbc-grows-fast-fox-news.html

Rachel Maddow's program experienced gigantic ratings growth the first quarter of 2016 as MSNBC's primetime audience grew more than twice as fast as Fox News.

See, her viewership is sharply up these days, so her platform is reaching more and more people. OTOH, DU reaches a couple thousand viewers for its most popular posts.

Isn't that interesting?

[nadinbrzezinski]

27. For the same reasons O'Reilly show grew at one point

She is engaging in advocacy, not reporting

[MineralMan]

31. Hers is not a news show. It is commentary.

She's not a reporter. She's a pundit. She gets paid to editorialize.

[nadinbrzezinski]

36. My point, and she used to do very fine reporting

I used to be a fan. Once she started that, well...if time warner takes MSNBC from my tv, I won't notice.

[jack_krass]

70. "Isn't that interesting?" No (nt)

[Fawke Em]

71. That will drop now that she's started this shit.

[libdem4life]

96. Speaking of false equivalencies...unbecoming.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

15. She has lost all credibility and no longer deserves any respect. She sold out. nt

[lewebley3]

26. Hillary has great credibility she ran a wonderful campaign: Sanders

is lying to his supporters about winning.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

39. I'm not talking about Hillary. Please, try to keep up if you're going to address me. nt

[Depaysement]

134. Bots are slow nt

[libdem4life]

97. You are lying about Sanders lying...he doesn't say he's winning. So stop it.

[gordianot]

16. Yes I remember when Rachel waged war with Politifact.

Wonder what happened?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

17. Doom. Gloom. Pestilance. The End is Near.

[One Black Sheep]

21. She is just another Hillary shill, a dime, a dozen of them in the media

meh, never thought Maddow was much of a journalist or media pundit in the first place.

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. The pay is good

And I cut MSNBC a while ago. But that is not reporting, that is catapulting propaganda. By the way Rachel, in the off chance you read this, check tje section under advocacy in the SPJ ethics rules.

[asuhornets]

29. They did throw chairs and it has not been debunked.. r u allergic to reality? n/t

[99th_Monkey]

44. ONE chair was raised off the floor, ONE time, period. End of story.. nt

[asuhornets]

69. Bernie supporters went there to try and change the delegates--it didn't work--they got mad

[99th_Monkey]

72. OMG! Someone "got mad". For shame. n/t

[libdem4life]

98. Check your, um, facts. The Chair (person) changed the rules without

due process. Get it?

The Chair, raised off the floor, quickly returned to the floor.

[asuhornets]

99. No. The Chairwoman already knew there were more Clinton delegates than Sanders delegates.

They were upset about the voice vote. Hillary had more supporters in NV. And she won NV in February..

[libdem4life]

101. She did not play by the rules. She panicked. Deal with it.

[asuhornets]

103. No you deal with it...my candidate is winning!!!!!!!!!!!

: headbang :

[libdem4life]

104. Pretty sure this was not the discussion...but typical deflection.

Oh, and it's not over until it's over. Your candidate is the Frontrunner. Big Difference. You see winning doesn't happen, by definition, until the end.

And the FBI has not sung yet, nor have her former aides. I'd not invest too much in a victory party until this little pesky detail is complete.

However, I do find your "smilies" particularly credible and in the correct post.

[disillusioned73]

46. ...

[frylock]

130. Don't you get tired of being corrected.

Why do you insist on lying about this?

[asuhornets]

135. I consider the source of those trying to correct me...

Sanders supporter caused chaos at the NV convention.. All for nothing Hillary won back in February.. They could not sway the delegates. You know the delegates that Sanders was against before he was for them. Why would they change to Sanders and he is losing. Makes no sense. He will concede.

[frylock]

150. You guys are fucking toast.

If you can't handle a little civil unrest within the party, then Republicans are going to eat you alive.

[asuhornets]

153. Yea right...

"you guys" see that's problem with some leaning left independents--you are not part of the Democratic Party, but you want to choose its Democratic nominee..

You finally found your ultra liberal candidate as if that's so special---and think everyone is against u...because u r not getting your way

[asuhornets]

168. OK...maybe they just waved them in the air..eom

[grasswire]

137. there is video

just give it up.....you are beginning to embarrass yourself.

[asuhornets]

143. i saw it....Sanders bash the Demo Party, then expect them to hand over delegates to him..

Trust me they can't wait for him to leave.

[grasswire]

146. no

there is video of no thrown chair.

Who is "they"?

[asuhornets]

154. I'm not to argue about a chair. n/t

[grasswire]

157. but you are willing to lie about it? nt

[passiveporcupine]

163. It HAS been debunked.

the fact that you are still trying to push this meme is pretty disgusting.

You show me your proof, and I'll show you mine.

Oh hell...you don't have any, so I'll show you mine anyway.

Jon Ralston, the dean of political reporting in Nevada, has spread nothing less than a pack of lies about what went down at the state’s Democratic convention on Saturday. And the fact averse oligarchic national media has run completely riot with the provable falsehoods. No chairs were thrown at the convention Saturday.

As it turned out, Ralston finally admitted last night that he hadn’t seen this himself but was relying especially on local reporter Andrew Davey. Davey first said he had still frames showing the chair throwing which he would publish. He has not produced the stills in question, but did retweet a still image of a chair held high that was initially posted on Reddit. I spoke with the person who posted it to Reddit and confirmed that it was grabbed from the video now widely seen which shows that other Sanders supporters quickly took away the chair in question. I asked Davey by Twitter if he still had photos to publish, then criticized him for retweeting the Reddit image instead. He blocked me. In spite of the fact that the whole thing was filmed live from multiple angles, “the revolution will be periscoped” as Ralston snarked on Twitter, no one has any images or video of even a single chair, let alone chairs plural, being thrown.

And the Truth Averse Media has gone wild with Ralston’s first class lying. The New York Times ran with “Thrown chairs” as it’s lede in an article headlined by the falsehood about death threats.

Hours and hours after the woman who took and posted the original video showing the raised chair has offered to talk to any media that will listen, none have. Sanders supporters have now promised to donate $100 to Clinton’s campaign or vote for her in California if anyone can produce video evidence of the phantom chair throwing.

It won’t happen.

And the murder of crows that pretends to be honest, unbiased journalists will continue on to the next trust-killing monstrosity.

http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/05/18/the-faux-fracas-in-nevada-how-a-reporters-pack-of-lies-ran-riot-in-the-fact-averse-media/

One person lifted up a chair. I did post a link to it in another thread...just can't find it right now. But they never threw the chair. Other people had them put it down and then hugged them. That is not violence, that is deescalation (by Bernie supporters) before violence can happen.

I must admit, my proof does not contain a video of chairs not being thrown, because as everyone knows, you cannot prove a negative.

It never fucking happened. But keep on spreading those lies.

[asuhornets]

167. OK...maybe they just waved them in the air..eom

[passiveporcupine]

184. One guy, one chair

held it up and it was quickly grabbed by another guy and put down.

That is anger. the guy was crying. It is not violence. Violence would involve throwing the chair or trying to hit someone with it.

He wasn't even near the person he was angry at, so there was NO threat. If the chair hadn't been taken away so quickly, things might have gotten ugly, but BERNIE SUPPORTERS stopped that from happening.

Oh, and here is the video, from the woman who took it.

Jump to 3:40 for THE CHAIR

[KPN]

32. She is right. Bernie is damaging the Democratic Party severely ...

in a good way. The Party still has an opportunity to right the listing ship, but I frankly doubt it will.

Philly will definitely see ugly protests. Too late to reverse that. It's only a matter of how the establishment contains the protest element -- they will do everything they can to squash it for sure.

This was all so unnecessary. I put the blame on DWS and the DNC (corporatist) machine. They put all their eggs in Hillary's basket long ago ... and then ineptly went about controlling the outcome. If they hadn't been so nakedly obvious, things certainly wouldn't be as divisive as they are right now.

It strikes me that it is now too late. The damage is done. The Democratic Party is going the way of the GOP -- breaking in two.

To some that is bad, others good.

[madokie]

33. Rachel lost me a long ass time ago

She is one of them now. 'Them' being the ones who have been kicking us to the curb for years that is

[Sparkly]

34. Is that the right link?

It's Ed Schultz and Nina Turner.

[99th_Monkey]

47. it debunks the "violence" BS nt

[ViseGrip]

49. Hey Rachel, it is YOU and the paid for corporate media that have ruined the party!

Little miss fracker? Little miss war machine? What gives Rachel.

If it were me, I'd be tired of the money, count it out, live within my means, and make a final statement with an exit from your show.

That's my character vs. yours.

Despicable you!

You have had your soapbox for your ONE issue for six years now. This is how you repay the grassroots who stood behind YOU and yours and supported your issues on gay marriage? Is that all that mattered to you in our country? You are just a short, ugly, little shit. No moral compass at all. So glad I cut my cable cord 1 1/2 years ago, and you were one of the biggest reasons. Just so you know....

[2banon]

51. stopped watching her several years ago.

loved her when Keith Olbermann would have her on. but then she got her show and she had this really, really, really LAME schtick, huge turn off.

Plus she totally ignored what was going on behind the financial crises which was the event of the time during Obama's inaugeration/100 + days.

Had to rely on other sources, switching the channel, cutting the cord altogether.

[Sheepshank]

53. She is right and he has never said or done anything positive to add to or grow the Party

...never, not since the day he entered into politics.

[99th_Monkey]

59. Bernie is calling the Party to account for its own claims to really being "democratic"

and to REALLY being a big tent "Party of the People", of FDR, JFK, RFK, MLK Jr. et. al.

And in return, the Party has predictably reacted with hostility, dismissiveness, slander,
and promoting false narratives about him being some kind of "spoiler", which is a total
lie.

[Sheepshank]

73. He has done nothing quite that noble. His history of insults to the Party....

...well before he decided to run, is it's own record.

[Blue_In_AK]

54. I haven't watched Rachel in months.

I got tired of her constant repetition, plus when the primaries started, it was pretty obvious that she had a bias.

[saidsimplesimon]

56. Ms. Maddow should practice journalism, imo.

Like Keith Olbermann, when you become numero uno on a unwatched cable network.....

[riversedge]

58. Some of his supporters were violent in NV last weekend.

[99th_Monkey]

65. That is a TOTAL LIE!

No one was hurt, no one went to the hospital, nothing was even broken or
destroyed .. ONE chair was picked up off the floor by ONE guy, ONE time,
period. End of story.

Yes, people were visibly upset, yet they contained it without loosing it, i.e.
without resorting to violence or destroying property.

The entire "chairS were thrown" meme is a complete falsehood, you should
be ashamed of yourself for spreading this lie.

[riversedge]

74. Also there was lots of Verbal Violence directed at a Democratic Senator from CA-Boxer!

[99th_Monkey]

94. The situation became tense, people got visibly upset about the process <-- true

Yet it was contained, save a little yelling and the fact that ONE guy raised
ONE chair off the floor ONE time, before setting it back down on the floor.
It's a complete fabrication that "chairs were thrown" .. a boldfaced LIE.

Yet the entire DNC Establishment -including Boxer apparently- has bought
into the lie and owned it, and are spreading it far and wide as fast as
humanly possible in hopes of hurting Bernie's chances in California.

It is a digraceful sham, plain and simple

On Edit: there's no evidence that these equally disgraceful phone calls to
the convention Chair were actually Bernie supporters, and not fanatical
Clinton shills with a devious agenda.

[grasswire]

142. she was blowing kisses at the crowd when she left

I guess it didn't bother her much at the time.

[passiveporcupine]

164. There was verbal anger directed at Lange

nobody threatened her. Again, that was a Ralston lie that the media picked up on.

there is a difference between nasty angry language and an actual threat of violence.

[anotherproletariat]

60. Love Rachel!! She's the only one that realized that we don't need to 'court' Sanders voters.

The most rabid among them will never vote for Hillary anyway.

[Fawke Em]

61. Can't stand her any longer.

She's got hers and no longer cares about the rest of us.

Of course, I never thought she was Goddess like many on here to begin with. She's smart, but I never thought her delivery was all that intelligent.

[Trajan]

76. You still watch ...

I haven't watched cable news on a regular basis since 2000! ... I choose to NOT be lied to ...

One of the same reasons I cannot support the Clinton campaign ... I choose to NOT be lied to ...

[AgingAmerican]

77. Now Rachel projects too?

Sad

[oldandhappy]

78. health alert

stop watching MSM, bad for your blood pressure
I have had a marvelous time finding alternate media on YouTube.
Be kind to yourself. Leave MSM to their made up world.

[oldandhappy]

122. I just got Netflix - lots of stuff

One of the documentaries is Requiem for the American Dream -- excellent, 72 minutes, do not watch when tired. You have to be able to concentrate, smile. And yea, staff off MSM.

[onecaliberal]

80. She should just go to faux. She is one in the same.

[Art_from_Ark]

162. Yeah, she could team up with Steve whats-his-name

[dana_b]

84. I won't watch her even on youtube

she's a paid shill/sell out and has become a nasty piece of work. No better than some of the idiots on Fox, imo.

[tabasco]

95. I hope she's right.

The party has lost its soul and its purpose to exist.

[libdem4life]

100. By mistake, I happened to watch her last night.

Haven't watched for a long time. She was talking so fast and furiously I could hardly keep up. I could have sworn she was on some kind of hyperactive substance...I don't even remember what the issue was...she held me spellbound just watching the performance. Had to switch channels...was getting tired just watching her.

[mhatrw]

102. Better get Mayor Daley to knock some heads quick!

[MisterP]

105. look how much badly he does against Trump! there's only one candidate who'll throw the election

just to feed their vanity!

[anotherproletariat]

106. Did I mention that I love her!! nt

[Skwmom]

107. No, Ms. Clinton's Cheerleader, you, team Clinton and the rest of the Corporatists have already

done a bang up job of that.

[DemocraticSocialist8]

113. I like Rachel, but I hate the shilling she's been doing this election season

[d_legendary1]

114. She knows which side of the bread is buttered

And as such her messages will reflect her viewpoints. Keith, Cenk, and Shultz went down with dignity. Her, Tweety, and Chris "Wanna be like Keith" Hayes will take their cash, thank you very much!

[Goblinmonger]

119. Civil disobedience used to be a progressive value

Maddow's mileage must vary, I guess.

[Waiting For Everyman]

120. The "sky is falling" hysteria is pretty funny.

I wonder sometimes what they would do if they ever had a REAL problem. Probably end up institutionalized.

Those who engage in this hyperbolic nonsense are only destroying what's left of their credibility, because with the internet, too many people know the real truth before they report it. When it doesn't match, these "journalists" are exposed for what they are.

They're the "I've got mine, screw you" crowd. There are lots of those around in every field. They're nothing special, just overpaid.

I only check her or any of the laughingly-called "journalists" out to find out what the propaganda du jour is, what are the PTB trying to sell us now. Although, I can usually guess in advance. She and the rest on major media are about on a par with Fox News now.

[Autumn]

123. OH NOES!!!! Not destroy!!!

Little Deb don't need no help with that

[Vote2016]

124. She's gone from the most likely successor to Olbermann to a yawn-inducing shill. Disappointed. M$NBC

sucks

[senz]

128. I'll bet Olbermann regrets giving her the lucky break she needed.

She's so empty.

[grasswire]

139. Keith!!

Come back!!

[Broward]

129. Corporate shills like Maddow and Hillary are the destroyers.

[haikugal]

133. It's the Iraq War all over again.

[grasswire]

136. can't watch her

It has been months now, except for some election night returns.

[tabasco]

138. No, it's clowns like Wasserman-Schultz and the Clintons

who are doing a great job of destroying my once-proud party.

[BootinUp]

141. Actually, she did a whole report and summed it up : Don't Worry This is Normal nt

[ozone_man]

147. Getting as shrill as Hillary.

Rachel stopped being a journalist long ago, and has become an MSM mouthpiece.

[passiveporcupine]

148. Are people calling her on it on social media

I wonder what the reddit crowd is thinking of her.

She sure has changed. Doesn't care about those of us who used to be her base.

[CentralMass]

155. I dumped cable January of 2015. I don't miss it.

[highprincipleswork]

156. Well you know how hysterical some people can get.

[Octafish]

171. That is the word.

"EEEK."

Democrats are supposed to be brave, confident and willing to do the hard work needed to get the job done, like Beat the Depression, Win World War II, go to the Moon, win the Cold War through Peace, etc.

[pdsimdars]

174. Has she apologized yet?

[99Forever]

175. Sellouts suck.

When you sell your integrity, you cease to be relevent or believable.

[nest]

178. With a 7 million dollar annual salary

and huge investments in defense/oil companies, Rachael Maddow isn't exactly the type of person who would support a candidate like Bernie Sanders.
