56. This isn't exactly true or all of the reasons for the discontent.

But thanks for playing the "Bernie Bro's" meme that has taken hold... It was a nasty smear used in 2008 and it was another smear used again this time around.

BTW, I think the group of people fighting tooth and nail for the party to represent the people and the people's need over the "establishment", corporate power brokers that have control of the party and have been playing slimey, dirty tricks the whole primary season, is going to always sound better and have their malfeasance covered up by the establishment media.

Rachel Maddow was full bore lies in explaining why people were booing... Oh, and all those chairs being thrown? She showed all types of footage, and not one chair thrown anywhere. She actually looked really uncomfortable lying last night.. Like she knew she was blatantly telling ALL lies, and felt pretty dirty doing it. How far she's fallen... But when you lay down with dogs, you often get fleas.
