And they said we were making the threats of violence and misogyny up.

One caller suggested she would be hung or burned. (He brilliantly left a callback number.)

Another suggested she is a "corrupt b--tch."

Still another said it will come "back to bite you in the ass."

This is what State Democratic Party Chairwoman Roberta Lange has been subjected to since Bernie Sanders supporters became incensed at Saturday's state convention.

I have posted three of the vociemails here -- there are more to come. They are incredible. Warning: Language.

UPDATED: Here are transcripts of some of the voicemails -- and I have attached some horrific texts Lange received, too.


MALE CALLER: Hi Roberta Lange. This is a citizen of the United States of America and I just wanted to let you know that I think people like you should be hung in a public execution to show this world that we won’t stand for this sort of corruption. I don’t know what kind of money they are paying to you, but I don’t know how you sleep at night. You are a sick, twisted piece of shit and I hope you burn for this! You can return my call at [edited out for TOS]. I’d love to go into further detail with you about this, though I am sure you don’t have courage to do so. You cowardless bitch, running off the stage! I hope people find you.

Voicemail- 1362

1. So someone from California thought they should have a say about Nevada.

[jmowreader]

2. Check out voicemail 1418

That person was from Massachusetts.

[leftofcool]

3. OMG! Unfucking believable!

Imagine any Hillary supporter doing something like this.

[PeaceNikki]

4. Can you edit out the phone number?

It's against TOS and will probably be hidden?

Respect people's privacy.

Do not post or link to any private/personal information about any person, even if it is publicly available elsewhere on the Internet.

[SaschaHM]

9. Just did. Thanks for the heads-up.

[PeaceNikki]

10. No problem. Thank you!

[nini]

5. Do any of those morons know they are breaking laws threatening folks like this?

Disgraceful

[BootinUp]

6. This is NOT my Democratic Party. nt

[sufrommich]

11. Mine either.nt

[LisaM]

17. They aren'r Democrats.

They have no interest in the history of the party, what it's fought for, and what it's accomplished. They are disruptors. They like to tear things down. It's sick.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

29. Neither is Sanders.

[skylucy]

7. I am sickened. Will these people be allowed to come to the Democratic Convention this summer?

And what a lame,disappointing response from the Sanders campaign. I watched Rachel Maddow report on this today. It seems to me that MSNBC is afraid of these bullies. If these actions were done by Trump supporters/delegates, MSNBC would be condemning them in the no uncertain terms. Hillary may have stayed in the race until June in 2008, but her delegate/supporters did not behave this way did they? Is Bernie AFRAID of his own supporters? They are out of control. Is he afraid if he calls them out on their threats and violence, they will turn on him? This has been building for a long time. It started with his people stealing Clinton data during the computer glitch and then sueing the DNC and it has ended up here. This is going to be picked up by CNN and other news outlets this week and will give great talking points for the Trumpeters and RNC. BTW Barbara Boxer is my senator in California and she is as liberal as they come. We love her. She is small in stature, but she is a firecracker! So proud of her.

8. They are disgusting

[shadowandblossom]

13. Reign in your psychos Sanders.

Oh yuck.

[Rose Siding]

22. Not likely. I think he calls them 'energized and enthusiastic new voters'

The tent ain't that big.

[DemonGoddess]

14. I hope that these threatening calls

are all traced back to their individual senders, so they can be prosecuted.

[SunSeeker]

26. +1

[skylucy]

15. Well! I thought Rachel Maddow was too easy on the Sanders campaign and their

nasty little delegates in Nevada. However I see from reading the response from the BSers here on DU ...They think they were unfairly maligned and it is all a big conspiracy on the part of MSNBC and Rachel to lie about them! OK. I feel better now.

[Walk away]

16. Bernie and his followers have actually hit a new low! The Convention should be...

interesting. It's Philly so if violent thugs disrupt the convention, they will go to jail. Let's see them get a college loan with a record!

18. 12 Ways to Spot a Misogynist

The misogynists. You may have heard of them. But what you may not realize is that they can be anywhere around you. They are notoriously hard to spot. They do not come with a label attached, and they may even come across as pro-woman.

In most cases, misogynists do not even know that they hate women. Misogyny is typically an unconscious hatred that men form early in life, often as a result of a trauma involving a female figure they trusted. An abusive or negligent mother, sister, teacher or girlfriend can plant a seed deep down in their brain’s subcortical matter.

Once planted, this seed will germinate and begin to grow, the tiny root working its way into the fear processing and memory areas of the brain as its tiny stem works its way into frontal areas of the brain, affecting emotion and rational decision-making.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-mysteries-love/201502/12-ways-spot-misogynist

... last paragraph:

Women haters (unconsciously) get off on treating women badly. Every time they can put down a woman or hurt her feelings, they unconsciously feel good because deep down in their hidden brain, their bad behavior is rewarded with a dose of the pleasure chemical dopamine—which makes them want to repeat the behavior again and again.


It's pretty easy to spot a misogynist 'round these parts. Hate is a very primal emotion that is easy to cultivate. It doesn't require much thought.

[Agschmid]

19. Wow.

[Rose Siding]

23. The elusive bros have made a public debut

and it isn't pretty.

[TwilightZone]

20. Now, the Sanders supporters are insisting that these were all Brock-funded Hillary supporters...

pretending to be Sanders supporters to make Sanders look bad.

No, guys, you're doing that well enough on your own.

[Cha]

21. Of course they said that.. Denial is requisite with their MOs.

These people are beyond fucking stupid.

Mahalo for this, Sascha!

24. One jackass from California left his number.....

I guess he wants to hear from people.

[SunSeeker]

25. And he proved he's not a NV resident and is thus ineligible!

[SharonClark]

27. I assume the calls were from all over - why would their hatred be limited to the state at hand?

[mercuryblues]

28. Soon enough

he will be whining about not being able to vote in NV. and blame it on Clinton. Bernie supporters are supposed to be able to vote whenever, wherever they want. Even if they aren't registered Dems
