House Democrats booed and chanted. Did Republicans fear for their lives?

C-Span has a video of House Democrats booing Republicans for changing how they voted in order to defeat a bill to protect LGBT people from discrimination by federal contractors.

Will DWC condemn this "violence" and demand that Nancy Pelosi apologize for the actions of the congressional Democrats she leads?

Shouldn't Republicans be pitied for the awful actions of Democrats who made them fear for their lives?

It's a good thing that Barbara Boxer is a senator and not a member of the House--how would she make it through the day surrounded by such scary Democrats?

Watch the entire video to hear the ebb and flow of the booing and the chants. But be advised--it's very scary!

I saw two Bernie billboards in CA!

On Friday I was driving on the 710 freeway towards Long Beach at about 1:30pm. I suddenly saw a billboard with the word "Bernie" in large letters and a message in Spanish. Right after that I saw a billboard for Bernie in English.

It made me so happy. I couldn't read the messages because the traffic was light at that time. But every day on the 710 freeway 35,000 Mac trucks use it to go to and from the port of Long Beach plus thousands of commuters.

During rush hour they will all have time to read and think about the entire message and get to know about Bernie.

Kudos to the Bernie campaign!

Let's create the Love and Justice party!

Michael Lerner wrote at Salon about creating a movement to be the "Tea Party of the Left." He has some good ideas about how to keep Bernie's movement going.

He wants Bernie to lead the organizing, but why can't we do it?

PS. This is my first OP. I've arrived!
