No Bernie, This Is Not "Absolutely Appropriate"
Bernie Sanders speaking with Rachel Maddow today:

MADDOW: Let me just be clear though. In terms of people turning up and protesting outside and not disrupting?

SANDERS: Absolutely. If they want to do that, that is absolutely appropriate. Why not? That is what freedom of speech is about, what freedom of dissent is about. People standing outside by the hundreds, by the thousands, saying "look, we disagree". I think that’s exactly appropriate.

Maddow then further described to Sanders the extremely negative tone of recent protests, at which point he...started talking about Donald Trump.

Watch the exchange here:



In case you are wondering, this is what Rachel was talking about...and what Bernie finds "absolutely appropriate":

Also, this:
Senator Sanders, this is not okay. And it's certainly not "absolutely appropriate". In fact, in my entire life I've never seen anything like it in a Democratic primary...............

Well, some people are defending it. Others are pretending it didn't happen, wasn't Bernie supporters, the usual. I wish it would get some media attention so others can see what we see. I keep hearing this only happens online and I should ignore it. When I see people harassed making their way peacefully to an event being subjected to this it makes my blood boil.

I said that he sounded like a gang bangers Mom and the jury said that was racist. I live in Chicago and gang bangers come in all races. I am Latino myself. My point being that clannishness leads to giving someone in your group a pass.

Anyway, it's clear what was going on in the video. The Revolution just won't own up to it.

NEVER EVER seen such behavior during a Dem primary! These SBS "supporters" are thugs and should be denounced as such.

How cowardly and ugly it is for them to shout at Hillary supporters, and especially women and children, merely because they ARE pro-Hillary! Pictures of these individuals, ugly in every aspect, should be posted EVERYWHERE. This is NOT the "revolution" that will make any lives better.

And Bernie's silence about this is DEAFENING!

"Let others do your dirty work for you!

He more than approves! He is thrilled!

How is he different from Trump again?

for Sanders. None. He is singing his one note song and doing nothing but fomenting hate and anger in the process.
