When the going gets tough, the tough pretend that Obama has endorsed them

[August West]

So, some of Sander's supporters are rude, and he is not policing them? That is the reason for all the animosity? Sheesh. Seriously, I'm not trying to be offensive to anyone, but, if that is the gist I'm supposed to take away, and maybe I'm completely missing the point, WTF? It's hard to make time in my life to think that sort of behavior should be a disqualifying event in the political world.

"some of them are rude" is a vast vast understatement. It's so over the top that it's comical. It's almost like it's not about politics and instead about some kind of cult. Even Bernie is afraid of them.

Vision,

Your lack of specificity says nothing much. Describing my statement as comical just shows me that you have no facts. Are these people criminal? Are they drawing blood? What is their great transgression against society and humanity? Should I have said very, very, very rude to correct my "vast, vast overstatement?" For such a "seasoned" political operative, you present as not too much with your response.

I wasn't describing "your" statement as over the top. I describe "their" behavior as over the top. You clearly don't pay attention to them.

If you watched Elizabeth Warren on Rachel Maddow, you wouldn't have to ask questions.

If you followed politics on Twitter, you wouldn't have to ask questions.

It's massive and it's persistent and it involves threatening to rape and kill women who endorse/support candidates who are not Bernie Sanders. It's nauseating.

So this massive, persistent, threatening tide is only known to regular viewers of Rachel Maddow and followers of political twitter. I only ask that you apply your critical thinking to that.

It's a stone cold fact. I can't help it if it isn't being reported on the network news.

I'm not disputing that bad actors exist, or that they are a bane, I'm asking of you to examine how high it is on the electorate's priority list. I am pointing out that a very small segment of the population is agitated over this by your own description of them. Again, where are the arrests? Where is the marching in the street?
