http://m.dailykos.com/stories/1527444Bernie Sanders lost the delegate battle at the Nevada State Democratic convention this past weekend, which only makes sense since he lost the state when voters voted. However, that didnt stop one of the biggest explosions of outright crazy in Democratic politics in
forever. Armando debunked the insane conspiracy theories here and here, but of course thats not stopping what can now only be described as crazies from outright crossing the line, viciously harassing State Democratic Party Chair Roberta Lange. Heres a sample
MALE CALLER: Hi, Berta 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're paying for you, but I don't know how you sleep at night. You are a sick, twisted piece of shit, and I hope you'll burn for this. And you can return my call at I'd love to go into further detail with you about this, though I am sure you don't have the courage to do so, you cowardless bitch, running off the stage. I hope people find you.
That number has been disconnected, by the way. You know, because of all that courage Want more? Ill give you more.
MALE CALLER: You fucking stupid bitch! What the hell are you doing? Youre a fucking corrupt bitch! That is so fucking wrong. You should be ashamed and disgraced. You need to step down from that position because you are bad for America and bad for the Democratic Party. That was fucking bullshit today. You need to step down. Youre a disgrace
MALE CALLER: Oh Roberta, Roberta, Roberta, you old, old hag. Oh, we watched the whole thing in Nevada. Youre really kinda screwed, lady. Um, yeah. Really stupid. Fuck you.
MALE CALLER: Fuck you, bitch

But the reality is that playing field isn't even close to being leveled after months and months of harassment and threats of violence, screaming, swearing at children, insulting Boxer et al and vandalism, swarming and bullying by BS supporters.

Insulting Boxer? Seriously. You Hillfans have gone off the deep end. You believe Brock bullshit. You are a cult member.
