Bernie folks rushed stage, yelling obscenities, throwing chairs and bottles

Convention ended w/security shutting it down, Bernie folks rushed stage, yelling obscenities, throwing chairs. Unity Now! On to Philly 2/2

@atdleft @RalstonReports bottles were also thrown at the stage. Had to escort women out fearing 4 their life. This has no place in politics.

They twist the rules, like in Nevada, to gain an advantage. The other side reacts, not violently, but angrily to the dishonesty. Then the Clinton campaign lies about how the other side reacted, omitting why they reacted as they did. The corporate media runs with it because it fits their agenda to get a corporate pal in office.

They pulled this same kind of shit on Obama in 2008.

Capehart still has a job. Huerta is still getting money from the Clinton Foundation, and now Ralston must be on the Brock payroll.

Dishonest, deceptive, and disgusting.

Defeats are done at the voting booth. Disqualifications are done in what Romney liked to call "quiet rooms".

I was paying attention to Scott Ritter in 2002. Amy Goodman, El Baradei and others KNEW it was ALL based on lies.

Funny how some of got it waaay back then but she was for it before she was against it.

When the establisment didn't want him they picked an incident and then had the media blow it up for them to disqualify him.

Typical way the establishment stays in power.

That particular non-incident was replayed by cable news more than 600 times over the course of a few days. Yet people who were actually present weren't aware that "something happened" until they got home and turned on their TVs.

The incessant replaying of the "Dean Scream" by the press became a debate on the topic of whether Dean was the victim of media bias. The scream scene was shown an estimated 633 times by cable and broadcast news networks in just four days following the incident, a number that does not include talk shows and local news broadcasts. Some in the audience that day reported that they were unaware of the "scream" until they saw it on TV.

When you hear the Dean scream, there's not a lot of background noise, but when Dean was actually giving the speech, the room was so loud Dean could barely hear himself. NPR did a segment on this some months back. First, they played the clip we all know, where the sound was taken from the highly directional microphone Dean was using, then they played the same clip with the noise that was actually going on in the hall. Instead of sounding like some over-the-top wacko, Dean sounds like an excited politician trying to make himself heard over the crowd.

It was character assassination, and it was deliberate.
