Bernie's headquaters in NV was hit by gunshot; a Hillary supporter was just arrested for assault

[jillan]

for punching a young woman, a Bernie supporter, a Hillary surrogate called Bernie supporters Nazi's.

So take your Bernie supporters are so mean poutrage elsewhere.

[840high]

1. Nasty people.

[YouDig]

2. Yeah it was kind of creepy that Bernie brought that up in his loony press release.

What was he trying to imply? That Hillary did it? That someone shot at his HQ, so it's OK for his supporters to throw chairs and issue death threats and shout sexist slurs?

That whole thing was strange.

[notadmblnd]

31. Why don't you give your fingers a break and go read it?

Perhaps your questions will be answered there?

[YouDig]

32. Oh, I did. It was a total trainwreck written by what I hope is an intern about to be fired.

Because if this is what his campaign has come to, it's a very sad day for what used to be an admirable man.

[notadmblnd]

37. Bernie Sanders is not responsible for your illiteracy

nt

[YouDig]

38. Aww, that's not nice!

[Buddyblazon]

65. Brand new poster bringing up...

Hillary talking points. Not unusual at all
Lol.

I haven't seen this chair thing everyone is talking about. Do you have a video of it?

[YouDig]

66. Brand new poster figured out how to identify posters with a history of nastiness!

[Buddyblazon]

67. Been here for 12 years...

Not a single hide until the last couple months.

Hmm...couldn't be because of an army of brand new posters chocked full of Hillary talking points. Lol

[Buddyblazon]

68. I'm glad you pointed that out though...

It proves my point about all these brand new Hillary supporters in the last couple months.

[YouDig]

70. Ooh, responded three times! Must have touched on something there.

You sure seem to like to use a particular word that was yelled at Barbara Boxer by the Bernie delegates!

[Buddyblazon]

71. You forgot the video...

Where's the video of this chair throwing incident? I'm dying to see it.

Because I only see one reply from you. And it didn't have the video.

[Buddyblazon]

72. Okay...so we know there's no proof of chair throwing....

But I'm not going to call you the b-word.

Instead I'm going to call you a liar. Because if the foo shits...Ya dig?

[YouDig]

73. Wow, two more! You know, lashing out won't make things better.

Look what it did for the Sanders people in Nevada. Now the whole world sees them as an angry mob. A little restraint, even with the disappointment of losing, is a good thing.

[Buddyblazon]

74. Yet no video...

so you're still a liar...ya dig?

[YouDig]

76. Plenty of evidence, widely reported, only conspiracy theorists who think the entire world

is controlled by David Brock don't believe it. I think I've figured out where you stand on that.

[Buddyblazon]

77. So no evidence...

Just tap dancing.

You're a liar...ya dig?

[YouDig]

79. In the real world yes. In your world where Bernie is winning, who knows.

[Buddyblazon]

80. Okay...show us the video then...

In the...ya know..."real world".

Ya dig?

[Buddyblazon]

69. Wait...you almost forgot about the chair throwing...

video. We don't want you to disappear until you show us that video.

[arcane1]

78. Just another Brock-puppet doing their job. Poorly.

[Buddyblazon]

81. Yep.

.

[Buddyblazon]

82. No arrests...no evidence of chair throwing....

Yet insists on perpetuating that meme. Definitely not a legitimate poster.

[Ferd Berfel]

89. DOnt' feed the Trolls

Ignore them

[riversedge]

53. Sanders had to have something dramatic-and a bullet hole from Jan was his ace card and he

played it well. As I understand it--no bullet found and nothing has been updated on this event since the beginning of January.

[fasttense]

58. Well lets compare evidence

On the Bernie side. No video of violence at the NV convention. No broken chairs found. No arrests made despite a huge number of police being present.

Some nasty e-mails and twits were made but actual persons behind them Not found.

Now on the Hillary side. There is a hole where a gun was fired. There is a trashed office space. There is an arrest made of a Hillary supporter. Hmm the evidence is all one sided.

[lagomorph777]

64. Yes, but Hillary-land is a fat-free zone.

[AtomicKitten]

3. Thank you.

[DURHAM D]

4. You don't see the difference between

a bar fight and the state convention?

As for the gunshot... did they file a police report?

[jillan]

5. You don't see the difference between assault and booing?

holy cow!

[DURHAM D]

10. Apparently there is a disagreement as to who

held who in that bar fight.

Chairs thrown and threats made by anonymous assholes against a family...same thing to you?

Was there a police report for that shooting?

[jillan]

19. YES there was a police report - jeez!

http://www.lasvegasnow.com/news/police-probe-possible-shooting-at-sanders-office

[barrow-wight]

25. Where's the video.

Peeps here say video or it didn't happen.

[KittyWampus]

28. And the bullet said "Hillary Clinton supporter" on it? LOLZ

[LiberalElite]

62. Apparently it would have to, before you MIGHT care eom

[AgingAmerican]

21. Now 'chair' is 'chairs'?

Here is the "Chairs thrown" video you are so outraged over lol

https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/732618967181746178/pu/vid/190x180/8dyLZHoQhOqf1kkl.mp4

[barrow-wight]

26. Well at least now we know the chair part was true.

People here keep saying there must be video or it didn't happen.

But I'm fine with this being the standard. I want to see the video of the shooter or it must be a lie.

[AgingAmerican]

27. A chair was lifted up then set back down

Who is thinking of the children?

[barrow-wight]

30. I am very much thinking of the children.

Such a violent tone is being set for this campaign that I am truly worried about the national convention.

[AgingAmerican]

33. Oh the humanity! The 'violence'!! lol

All an attempt to change the subject when they got caught cheating

[barrow-wight]

41. The only people cheating were the Sanders crew.

Hillary won that fair and square.

[AgingAmerican]

42. Nevada Dem party caught cheating for Clinton

Hillary surrogates, supporters become apoplectic trying to change the subject.

FBI investigation forthcoming...

[barrow-wight]

43. Clearly you believe that.

[AgingAmerican]

44. It is all on video

Among other things:

The chair of the convention announced that the convention rules passed on voice vote, when the vote was a clear no-vote. At the very least, the Chair should have allowed for a headcount.

The chair allowed its Credentials Committee to en mass rule that 64 delegates were ineligible without offering an opportunity for 58 of them to be heard. That decision enabled the Clinton campaign to end up with a 30-vote majority.

The chair refused to acknowledge any motions made from the floor or allow votes on them.

The chair refused to accept any petitions for amendments to the rules that were properly submitted.

“These are on top of failures at the precinct and county conventions including trying to depose and then threaten with arrest the Clark County convention credentials chair because she was operating too fairly.”

[barrow-wight]

45. Is that the chair the was thrown?

[AgingAmerican]

46. Here is the chair you mention

Just another lie from Hillary and company

[barrow-wight]

47. Just because you have video of a chair doesn't mean that's the chair that was thrown.

I'm sure there are chairs seen in every video of the event since there must have been quite a few chairs there indeed.

[AgingAmerican]

49. No chair or chairs thrown

Give it up

[barrow-wight]

50. That's not what I've been reading.

The bad behavior of the Nevada convention has been all over the news.

[Enthusiast]

85. He didn't throw the chair. The chair was lowered to the floor and was not thrown.

And that was the only chair anything.

[riversedge]

55. Is this a game-which one is worse? An alledged assult vs booing and calling a Dem Sen

a Bitch and threats to the NV Dem Chair and to her family. Is this a game? Sure seems so to you!! A stupid game--a dangerous game.

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. Yes actually, the proper authorities investigating this

since he was there, is the secret service, if you learn to read between the lines.

[dana_b]

6. Yep! This was a planned event to get

us all pissed off and try to make us look bad. However their actions are FAR worse and more insidious than any Bernie supporter shouting "fuck you!".

[jwirr]

36. They are looking to portray us as the bad guy before Philly

so that any floor fight we put up or any protest can be used against us.

[Enthusiast]

86. Precisely. If Hillary wins the nomination they have just handed the election to Trump.

[spinboas]

7. Clinton supporters are resorting to thuggery and it is dispicable!

[jillan]

8. Swiftboating.

[barrow-wight]

11. Is there video?

According to some here, there must be video or it didn't happen.

[jillan]

16. Here ya go -

[barrow-wight]

24. I mean video of the act in progress.

I ask only because people keep saying that if there's no video of a chair thrown in Nevada, then it must not have happened. There are plenty of news items talking about Nevada too but I want to see video of the act in progress or I'm afraid I cannot believe it happened, at least according to the measurement of the Bernie yardstick.

[Ed Suspicious]

51. There was video of a presumably angry guy lifting a chair over his

head, then being convinced to quickly put it back down.

[barrow-wight]

56. I saw that one.

Still pretty awful though he smartened up quick. That someone was willing to reach for violence when they can't get votes is just wrong. And why isn't Bernie speaking out against that?

[MattP]

12. So the Bernie campaign is accusing the Hillary campaign

Of gunshots and theft?

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. Actually this is being reported by the local media

[rhett o rick]

13. They are projecting. nm

[JSup]

14. And why did he wait months...

...to tell us about the headquarters shooting? And did they not file a police report?

I can find no info about this other than what he just said today.

Super weird.

Edit: Ah ha! Found it.

http://www.therightperspective.org/2016/01/09/possible-assassination-attempt-on-bernie-sanders/

“Officers responded just before noon to the campaign office at 815 South Rainbow Blvd., near Alta Drive,” reports the Las Vegas Sun. “Police said it appears a bullet went through the window but declined to comment on whether a shot had been fired.”

The incident has spurred a revival of a White House petition started by Sanders supporters late last year, calling for the candidate to get Secret Service protection.

I wonder why that shot was fired.

[jillan]

18. They did file a police report. Super weird that you didn't know that.

http://www.lasvegasnow.com/news/police-probe-possible-shooting-at-sanders-office

[KittyWampus]

29. Why bring it up now and imply it has anything to do with current events?

[jillan]

48. To show a difference in the campaigns. One campaign gets booed and the world falls apart.

The other campaign gets a bullet hole thru their headquarters and they quietly file a police report.

[KittyWampus]

57. Doxxing and death threats aren't booing. And a random bullet has nothing to do with Clinton

or her campaign or her supporters.

Sanders is irresponsible for even mentioning it in the same breath as what went on in Nevada.

[davidlynch]

15. If David Brock Wrote The Release It Would Read "Hillary Supporters Fired At Bernie Headquarters" n/t

[HooptieWagon]

17. It's just a Brock smear.

Only Hillary supporters are gullible enough to believe the bullshit being spewed.

[PowerToThePeople]

20. They are brownshirts

[Adrahil]

34. Perpetrators of violence on both sides should be dealt with severely.

No excuse for that shit. Period.

[itsrobert]

35. The report was it "appears" to be a bullet hole. No actual confirmation from police that it was.

Plus, where is the bullet? There are holes in this this bullet hole story. Was it a silencer? Nobody heard a gunshot? Was it always there for days or months and a secret service sweep found it?

[Tarc]

39. Yep, thanks for doubling down there, Senator Sanders

Not only does he not denounce the people doing stuff in his name, he pulls the "no you are!" fallacy to excuse it.

[SecularMotion]

40. Where have we heard this story before?

Eric Cantor fires blanks on gunshot

Following reports of multiple attacks on the offices of Democrats who voted for healthcare reform over the weekend, Republican House whip Eric Cantor held an angry press conference on Thursday claiming that his office had been attacked by gunshot and accusing Democrats of "dangerously fanning the flames". But on closer examination the "attack" on Cantor's office turns out to be ambiguous at the least.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/richard-adams-blog/2010/mar/26/eric-cantor-gun-attack-republicans-healthcare

[floriduck]

52. OMG, those Clintonites might cause a ruckus in Philadelphia too. Get CNN on the phone since

they're so worried about the Sanders people committing crimes at the convention.

[MFM008]

54. All of this has to STOP

Snark online is one thing.
No if ands or buts we need to turn
To the people who are the real problem.
Donald Duck Trump and the Republican Party.

[MaeScott]

59. Clintonistas have blinders on singing lalala to the blantant fraud.

[LiberalElite]

60. Yeah where was their outrage over the gunshot? eom

[Arneoker]

61. Perhaps this jerk was "passionate"

But who cares? Throw the book at him, that's it!

[GreatGazoo]

63. but were any chairs injured?

[pdsimdars]

75. And don't forget, absolutely NO EVIDENCE of violence from Bernie supporters in NV convention.

[DarkScholar82]

83. Why Doesn't Hillary

restrain the vicious thugs who support her?

[Enthusiast]

84. K&R! This post deserves hundreds of recommendations. nt

[Cheese Sandwich]

87. rec

[Ferd Berfel]

88. Gee, A bernie suporter picked up a chair and put it down

HE didnt' try to kill anyone. Camp Weathervane is incredibly violent and delusional. This is a dangerous combination.
Right Wingnuts are dangerous creatures

BTW, Has Clinton condemned this ?

[ucrdem]

90. Did anyone see the gunman, gun, or bullet? Did anyone threat to shoot? And if there's just a hole,

is there any evidence of how or when it got there?

[silvershadow]

91. They are vile. nt

[obamanut2012]

92. lolz poutrage
