Nice little story in the local paper about the canceled democratic convention in Nevada this weekend . They closed down early because of
the violent actions of some Sanders supporters, Of course a talking
head put out a statement. Typical word salad. "We don't condone
violence, yadda yadda, etc. etc." How about a firm "knock
it off already, you're sounding like the Tea Partying KKK." Of
course you can't really get through to “true” believers. No
matter how hard you try.
Sanders,
you'd better pull up your big boy pants. Don't leave this to your
handlers. Make it perfectly, crystal clear that physical and verbal
violence, especially threatening someone's life is over the line, not
cool, bad news, and likely to blow up in your faces. Also over the line. Throwing chairs, cups,
whatever you can lay your selfish little paws on will not play well with many democratic voters, much less the middle of the roaders you need to get your man elected. If he manages to get the nomination. And your antics leave me cold. As in single digits cold.
To
the nutjobs who are doing this, the party does not need a replay of
the 1968 Chicago convention. Of course YOU probably weren't even born
yet. Helped elect Tricky Dick Nixon. And Trump is infinitely worse.
