Your comment was about name calling and a continuation of the "Bernie supporters hate America" meme, as if you and supporters of your candidate are just victims of those mean Bernie supporters. My post was only to point out that some of the more mean-spirited and crass things I have ever seen a Dem say about another Dem were in those screenshots and clips from that other site, things they would never say here on DU as they would likely get tombstones.

While there may have been bad things said by Bernie supporters on this site, if they violated the rules, they paid the price. They didn't go off to another site, say horrible, crass things, then come back here to DU and pretend to be innocent and good.

The funny thing was, I was really starting to lean toward your candidate's supporters in this whole name calling debate until I started seeing the screenshots and clips from comments made on that other site and realized that nothing could justify talking about people that way.
