I never thought I would see quite what I am seeing today, in Democrats.

I saw it in Bushies, in spades. I saw it in hatred for Ed Snowden.

But the contagious hysteria I am seeing in Hillaryans on GDP is just cray cray. Of course, it is being whipped by noobs and trolls and poseurs.

It is very disappointing to see Democrats set aside any objectivity or love for truth, and run full tilt to take bait, to demonstrate cultish traits, to fall for lies and distortions.

Wow.

We DO NOT I repeat we DO NOT like bullies & threats. This is the main reason the Sanders campaign is losing and has no chance whatsoever of ever recovering from this type of intimidation.

To Hillary Clinton and all of her supporters I salute you for the campaign that you have run & the decorum that you all have chose to do it in.


Wow. They really believe their own propaganda. That's some Freeper-level self-delusion right there....

It is not hyperbole. These people were/are thugs.

Who am I supposed to believe the people who say they're not thugs or my lying eyes? Since my eyes and ears weren't lying, I'll go with them.


There was no violence depicted on the video, so what did they see? They may want to have their eyes checked.

She wants to fight Sanders and to fight Trump. Hillary against "the crazies." Bring them to heel.

Then she can corral moderate Republicans, Democratic party loyalists and third-way Dems to eek out a win. I think that's the strategy.

What's disturbing is how he gets some in the media to use his prefabricated little stories.
