I'm starting to like Roberta Lange more and more.

[YouDig]

She stood up to the sexist slurs and violence at the convention, and she's not taking the death threats laying down. She's fighting back, talking about them, exposing these hateful bullies for what they are. Good for her. That is courage.

[JaneyVee]

1. Brave, even after getting death threats and doxxed.

[Kang Colby]

2. She has a skill you don't see everyday.

Leadership.

[seabeyond]

3. I heard she has done an exemplary job since 2011. Nt

[Warren DeMontague]

4. Threats are crimes, of course. I hope she is involving the authorities so we can all find out

exactly who left those messages, and they can be prosecuted to the full extent of the law!

Don't you agree?

[YouDig]

5. I agree she should, and I'm pretty sure she is.

She's not happy about it. They also harassed the employees at the restaurant she runs.

[Warren DeMontague]

6. 21st Century. The authorities should be involved and get to the bottom of it.

We have cops who follow sick grannies home from the hydroponic shop to make sure they don't have pot plants in their basement, at the very least they should be able to ascertain who made some phone calls.

[moriah]

20. Seriously.

And while it wouldn't surprise me if many of the worst calls weren't from Democrats, those kind of messages are hateful and disgusting, and their sources should be found.

[ThePhilosopher04]

7. I don't believe any of it. David Brock being David Brock.

[YouDig]

9. Well there's a shock.

[ThePhilosopher04]

11. Thanks David.

[YouDig]

13. David Brock! He's all-powerful! He owns the internet!

[Warren DeMontague]

16. He should fix his hair

Pass that along if you see him, eh? Not a good look

[bettyellen]

36. LOL, when I told my Irish cousin we were meeting Bernadette McAlisky (nee Devlin) he said...

"Tell her to wash her hair!". And it remains good advice.

[Warren DeMontague]

37. I had to look up who that is, derp.

Anyway, I'm not normally the grooming or appearance police- shit, I live in Oregon, where it's considered high fashion if one leaves the house wearing pants- still, Brock's track record makes him sort of an easy target IMHO.

[bettyellen]

38. She was known as the "MP in a mini-skirt". Met her when filming a doc on human rights violations

in Northern Ireland. She yelled (after jumping in fear of an ambush) at us because we had invited her to meet us in a neighborhood that had union jacks festooned everywhere for the glorious 12th. They had been put up the evening before, and we realized THAT was why so many friends of friends were getting the hell out of Belfast for the weekend. Oops.

[Warren DeMontague]

40. So, sort of like GD-P.

Anyway, sounds like fascinating work. I know a few documentary filmmakers, myself.

[bettyellen]

45. It was a one off, but truly an amazing month for me.....

I often cried while holding the boom mike, because of the horrible stories of abuse and violence they shared with us.
Part of my job was also alerting the interviewer when I felt the interviewees were getting too unintelligible for American viewers. Most had been raised in sectarian ghettos and had very thick accents, which were even harder to understand when they were emotional. We got booed during our showings in NYC and in SF for including Amnesty International and some Protestant victims. I was very proud of my work, the boom only drops into the frame once.

[azurnoir]

17. No but he and his PAC do employ folks for these purposes

[Warren DeMontague]

15. If she investigates and presses charges, we will know definitively

So I guess we'll just have to wait and see, huh.

[ThePhilosopher04]

18. I bet she doesnt

[Warren DeMontague]

30. ...

[leftinportland]

14. I don't believe it either...

Remember the Brooks Brothers in Florida...Brock did not just spend money on internet operatives.

[ThePhilosopher04]

21. Winner, winner, chicken dinner

[w4rma]

8. You Roberta Lange apologist authoritarians are some sickos. (nt)

[joshcryer]

10. They went after the family business overnight.

Crazy.

[ThePhilosopher04]

12. Prove it

[joshcryer]

22. Here:

https://www.ralstonreports.com/blog/business-state-democratic-chairwoman-oversees-targeted-berners

What was fucked up was that woman telling the cop off. She's technically correct. No wonder these harassing campaigns online go no where as far as prosecutions.

[ThePhilosopher04]

27. That's not proof. You have no clue who's behind it

[joshcryer]

28. Yes it is.

Move along.

[lunamagica]

19. So do I. She is so corageous, and won't be intimidated!

[One Black Sheep]

23. She reminds me of Katherine Harris

she got promoted by the party, the GOP, after doing her thing in Florida re: Bush v Gore

[Sparkly]

25. No comparison at all.

[AtomicKitten]

26. Good comparison, they both reek in their efforts to undermine democracy.

[JimDandy]

24. She is worthy of disgust, and nothing else, for her major role in the undermining of democracy,

at the Nevada Democratic State Convention on Saturday.

Roberta Lange stole the weight of legitimately cast ballots of delegates at the County Convention level by making those votes null and void in favor of the votes cast at the caucus level for her candidate, Hillary Clinton. That vote nullification of an entire level of Conventions is UNPRECEDENTED. Unprecedented not just in Nevada, but at any State Democratic Convention in the US.

Roberta Lange bullied the fairness, equality and justice out of the Democratic structure in Nevada.

Roberta Lange is to be pitied as an extremely flawed, corrupt and fallen figure in the Democratic party and that. is. all.

[Karma13612]

31. +1000

[bigtree]

42. the 'undermining' came from Sanders supporters who came to that convention

...looking to undermine the will of voters who caucused for Hillaryby disrupting the convention.

Now Sanders minions are busy with what they've done every time they've been confronted with wrongdoing; deflecting blame.

Funny for the losers of the NV election to be calling winners like Lange 'fallen.' The Sanders campaign couldn't be any lower than it is at this point.

[JimDandy]

43. You are ignorant of the details of what happened and I have no inclination to spend time correcting

you. The correct information is all over this board. I suggest you find it before posting further on this subject. Good day.

[bigtree]

47. you mean the same kind of deflections you folks used after stealing DNC data

You don't have any room to talk down to anyone here. Your campaign is an embarrassment.

[JimDandy]

48. I said: NO INCLINATION. Good night.

[bigtree]

49. just as well

...you can't make me see these events through the craven eyes of those justifying the disruptions in Nevada. Your campaign lost all vestiges of progressiveness months and months ago. It used to be about big ideas, now it's just one big apology for indefensible behavior on behalf of the campaign, slathered all over with the mud you folks have been throwing at Hillary and anyone who dares oppose Sanders. This phony revolution can't end soon enough for me.

[floriduck]

29. What hot steaming horseshit!

I pity her for her incompetence. But she'd make a good cabinet pick for Hillary. They think alike.

[Maru Kitteh]

34. K & R

[NCTraveler]

35. Leader. Nt

[Gothmog]

39. I agree

Lange is showing some real courage

[bigtree]

41. outstanding

...

[wyldwolf]

44. there's only two ways to handle children having temper trantrums...

... I'm glad she chose to tell them NO.

[Surya Gayatri]

46. A gutsy lady and a REAL Democrat. Bravo, Ms. Lange!
