[Cheese Sandwich]

Pretty dumb

1. I don't want to click.

[Cheese Sandwich]

3. It's all these 'swiftboating' style videos from the last few days repeating these lies about

violence and chairs being thrown.

Like 10 video clips from CNN and MSNBC basic political interviews.

Pretty stupid. Mildly infuriating.

[think]

22. The lobbyists for both CNN and MSNBC are raising money for Hillary. Imagine that..

Television News Network Lobbyists Are Fundraising for Hillary Clinton

~Snip~

The top fundraisers for Clinton include lobbyists who serve the parent companies of CNN and MSNBC.

The National Association of Broadcasters, a trade group that represents the television station industry, has lobbyists who are fundraising for both Clinton and Republican candidate Marco Rubio.

Presidential campaigns are obligated by law to send the Federal Election Commission a list of lobbyists who serve as “bundlers,” collecting hundreds of individual checks on behalf of a candidate’s campaign.

CNN’s parent company, Time Warner, is represented on Capitol Hill by Steve Elmendorf, an adviser to Clinton during her 2008 campaign, who is also known as “one of Washington’s top lobbyists.” He’s lobbied on a number of issues important for media companies like CNN, including direct-to-consumer advertising policy...

7. It's a YouTube list of videos. The titles tell what they're about.

It's not shocking. Just revealing.

[Fawke Em]

16. Go there and down rate them and post links of your own in the comments.

[senz]

19. That is a good idea.

YouTube activism!

Prolly requires getting a YouTube account, but why not?

[merrily]

26. Ah, good to know. I didn't realize I had those options. Thanks, Fawke Em

21. Why? Think it will make you mad?

Mad enough to throw a chair?

[merrily]

25. No one threw a chair, but a male Hillary supporter hit a woman and someone shot

into Sanders Nevada campaign offices and ransacked a building where his campaign workers were staying.

I just don't want to give their unethical actions traffic.

It often amuses me how many Hillary supporters try to project hate and anger on to me while I'm smiling. I'm sorry people who think in those terms so often.

2. Did they hire O'Keefe?

Already have slimeball Brock on the payroll...

[Cheese Sandwich]

5. That would be funny if the establishment Dems adopt O'Keefe.

He can switch sides and be a hatchet man for Chelsea Clinton some day. When she is ready to take her rightful place as our leader.

[merrily]

8. It's mean of you to want to replace Brock.

[senz]

10. Wouldn't Jimmy O'K be just right for the H campaign?

Their kind of guy.

Now that she's all buddy buddy with Dubya and Pappy, he might not mind at all.

[Cheese Sandwich]

12. Oh yeah. He would fit right in.

[merrily]

6. He may have hired them.

[senz]

4. Looks like the NV Dem Party is making war on the Sanders campaign.

Or at least whoever selects the videos certainly is.

Isn't that interesting? It lends further credence to the Sanders campaign's allegation that Bernie supporters were not treated fairly by the NV Democratic Party.

I hope this gets wider attention so that more people will understand what's going on in the Democratic Party.

[merrily]

9. "Discredit him, destroy him and worry about Party unity later."

"Senator McCain and I are ready for that 3 am phone call, but Senator Obama is not."

Two primaries, eight years apart, same concept. It's not about the good of the Party.

[senz]

13. And who would want a president who puts their own well being

first and foremost? We do not need a narcissist in the WH.

[Cheese Sandwich]

11. Total war. Not even pretending. They are hyping these reports of "violence" to distract from the

real scandal, which is how they turned the NV convention into a temporary dictatorship.

[HooptieWagon]

15. I don't want those people anywhere near the reins of power. Nt

[DrDan]

27. Wider attention is absolutely appropriate - show the world

How boorish and bullying bs-supporters are

[senz]

29. I don't know if you are capable of rationality. If not, I apologize

for bothering you. But this thread is about the NV Democrats putting up a list of anti-Bernie Sanders videos -- negative propaganda against Bernie Sanders.

So the entity that calls itself "NV Democratic Party," is doing this. Which means a state Democratic Party is putting out a series of propaganda statements against a prominent Democratic candidate for president.

So, if you can follow, the action being discussed here is indeed boorishness and bullying but it is on the part of the NV Democratic Party.

The Sanders campaign is not putting up attack videos. The NV Democrats are.

It makes THEM look bad. Very bad.

[DrDan]

31. Why don't you read the title if the OP once more

It clearly states the intent is to make sander's supporters look violent - not Bernie himself.

See how I did that without any personal insults?

[senz]

33. It is a coordinated assault on the Bernie Sanders campaign.

It is designed to tarnish his image with voters. It's how your candidate, with her Brockian/ Rovian tactics, rolls. Here's how it works:

And I do appreciate your restraint.

14. I hope they're happy. Hillary gained 2 delegates on Sat but she lost a lot of support that nite &

so did the DNC.

The nonstop lies about Bernie supporters will never be forgotten.

[Cheese Sandwich]

17. They are happy because they want a circus. It distracts from the issues.

It never was about the 2 delegates. It's about keeping control of the process. Making sure the "outsiders" don't have access to parliamentary procedure. Like asking for recorded votes instead of just yeas and nays, or asking for recounts, and voting on the rules.

[senz]

20. Yes, it was a net loss for the Hill campaign. A big one.

They may be feeling it down the pike ...

[beachbum bob]

24. always a conspiracy with sanders and his followers...they would never be threatening or intimadating

to any body...never...never ...never.....except when they are...we read the threats in DU everyday and the facts are....people are leaving sanders....liberal supporters are jumping ship......online supporters jumping ship......I gotta say thanks to sanders followers for galvanizing super delegate support for hillary....nothing works better than threatening people....to forcing them to take a stand against threats.

the calls for revolution and intimidation aint a winner for sanders and in the end....his legacy will be forever tarnished as a result

[senz]

30. Sadly, it is the Democratic Party who looks obscene in this.

I say this as someone who has been voting straight Democratic ticket since the 1960s.

[reformist2]

28. Gotta love the view count on those videos, lol.

[hellofromreddit]

32. It's probably more baiting. Next they'll cite the Youtube comments as "violence."

[senz]

34. Yes, they are pushing the "violent Sanders supporters" meme

and they want it to stick, even though it is a lie.
