Give me a link to a post or two where Bernie supporters are using vulgar language to swipe at Clinton supporters, or Clinton, and then maybe you have something. Knowing you, I doubt you have anything.

BTW, I can't even look at a thread that big. It just locked up firefox for me and I had to restart. Don't give me links to threads like that. A single post is fine.

But, if you are complaining because it was a call-out thread, I agree with you to a point. It should not have been posted for a regular poster; except that you are a public figure who visits talk shows and news programs to express your opinion, and I think that means anything you say or do, related to politics, is fair game. You pretty much screwed yourself with your "Bernie Bro" behavior toward Hillary in 2008, and now claiming we are being nasty by showing it? Yeah...uh nope!
