Roberta Lange talking to Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC

[skylucy]

They are playing the obscene recordings Bernie people made. Lange telling it all. They just showed Bernie walking away when asked about it.

1. K & R for exposure. nt

2. Ah BS such a Leader! So Presidential!

[procon]

3. "I have no comment on that."

Coward!

He's already said he going to push for a fight at the convention, and now he's not going to reprimand his belligerent followers. He's laying the groundwork for a violent brawl that will make the 1968 convention look like a love-in. He's a mean and bitter loser, and he's going to take the whole Democratic Party down with him on live TV. If the voters didn't pick him, he's going to make sure that they won't want to vote for any other Democratic after the shocked audience watch his minions riot and disrupt the proceedings and trash the city.

9. Did he flat out say that?

Did he say "no comment"?

[procon]

14. Yes. MSNBC has replayed the video several times and his words are very clear. nt

15. This is what I suspect:

Bernie Sanders believes that if he can burn the Democratic Party down, he'll be made king of the ash heap. He should be condemning such behavior just based on common decency and civility, but he won't. Shame on him.

18. Thanks for the notice.

And here I thought I already was treading carefully, but I guess not enough.

4. This is good.. perfect burnie.. 'cause that's what leaders don't do.

5. Those of us who paid attention to Gamergate could have seen this coming.

I have a lot of women friends who are, or have been, in IT, and this type of behavior is nothing new to them. This is what gave the Bernie Bros the name "bros" to begin with, this pattern of behavior, of online heckling, of out and out bullying, and especially booing and insulting women, using the familiar terminology we've all heard a lot of time.

I know people who say the behavior is just online, most of the country doesn't notice it, if I spend too much time obsessing over social media I'm not in the real world, etc., etc., etc. But it's difficult to ignore.

Now it's spilled over into real life. And it's not pretty.

[Cha]

6. Right.. online is bad enough.. now they showed what they're capable of

wandering around.

[obamanut2012]

8. I have been saying for months it is just like GamerGate

And, am betting it's a lot of the same people.

[LisaM]

10. Yes, it likely is some of the same people.

GamerGate was nasty and drove some people away from the work they liked out of fear.

13. Can you imagine the reaction if African Ams rather than women were targeted?

[LisaM]

16. I'm sure there would still be indifference or a muted reaction

I'm not African American but I'm pretty sure there are lots of insidious ways those who are get insulted every day that I - to my discredit, I guess - don't notice.

[Walk away]

7. From now on, every Bernie Bully who pulls shit like this is news....

it a theme now. Even MSN/BS is reporting it so it has to have some traction.

[nini]

11. Well, he has a pattern of walking away from women

He lost me completely when he dissed that woman at the Vatican.

He is a petulant child.

12. She was on CNN a little while ago, and CNN did a big report on the convention disruptions.
