Loud cursing, shouting, obscene gestures and vile insults, including crude comments about the female anatomy. It was all on display over the weekend as supporters of Bernie Sanders turned the Nevada State Democratic Convention into chaos.
"He should get things under control," Boxer said of Sanders, saying it was worse than the vitriol during the Bush-Gore 2000 recount. "We're in a race that is very critical. We have to be united. He knows that. I have in fact, called him a couple times, left a couple messages. I'm hopeful he can get control of this."
Democrats are just doing to Sanders what they did to Clinton in 2008. The decision who represents the party is made by the Democrat elite NOT by the people who vote. Just compare the following.
"In the wake of a chaotic state convention that resulted in death threats for party officials and vandalism to party headquarters, the Democratic establishment asked Bernie Sanders for his help Tuesday in getting some of his overzealous supporters to stand down. His response: Stick it."
The DNC Chief Loon was on CNN again this morning. When asked about Sanders and his response to his minion's unrest, she deflected to talking about Trump. Didn't answer the question, just called Trump names.

It's like trying to talk to a 7th grader.
"The Democratic National Committee remains neutral in this primary, based on our rules," said DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz on CNN Tuesday evening. "But when I heard what happened at the Nevada Democratic convention, I was deeply disturbed. Regardless of what any campaign says over process, there should never be a but when it comes to condemning violence.
"Unfortunately, the senator's response was anything but acceptable. It certainly did not condemn the supporters for the violence and added more fuel to the fire," she said.
"The Sanders campaign and Sen. Sanders himself should outright condemn that specific conduct but they also need to take steps to prevent it and make sure their supporters understand the best way to express any frustration over process is to be orderly, not respond with violence and intimidation,” she added. “That needs to be unequivocally condemned, and unfortunately it has not been unequivocally condemned."

Did you view the Cenk Uygur video? He says there was no violence. His bias is he's a Bernie supporter. Their bias is they want Sanders out of the picture. Who's right? I don't know, but I am leaing toward Uygur even though we are probably politically at opposite ends of the spectrum. My bias is I am damn sick of the media twisting the news to represent their personal bias.

True that. There are always issues like this at the margins and it's really hard to know what's authentic and what's "dirty tricks"
Starkly different than the two trump supporters who just plead guilty to felony assault in a Boston court. When perps are identified like this I take notice but I can't get into an uproar about vague r a t f x x x ing stuff.
Nutters need to flack this to divert attention though.
He may be in running for one of most depraved humans ever.
Trump has said of his early dating life that he felt "like a great and very brave soldier" and "lucky" to have avoided the contraction of AIDS and other sexually-transmitted diseases, calling it his own "personal Vietnam".
But, you know, Bill Clinton.
Not an expert in the area but I'm thinking personality disorder here, if not dementia as others have speculated.
Republicans might have tested him more in primaries. Couple days in he's starting to fold under the stress like a cheap suit.

Was Trump ever accused of the same things Clinton was? Can't say anyone has made those kinds of accusations that have been made against Bill and certainly they are trying. Washington Post apparently has 20 on staff just dedicated to digging up dirt on Trump.
