8. I'm sure you're just itching to put some up, too.

Now the real question, is do you use the folder of cherry-picked out-of-context stuff, or just go straight for the bald-faced lies? Decisions, decisions.

It was devastating to find that he divides his time between hobnobbing with Castro, the Minutemen and the Koch Brothers.

That Bernie sure gets around. I'm glad his nefarious associations are being exposed.

4. Given the nastiness, I'd prefer he spoke FOR HIMSELF.

You know, I opened this thinking I'd see a fine Bernie quote, not some mean-spirited little snipe.

.... he's not attacking her, he's saying that his record and the things he stands for are on par with whatever bullshit claim she made last night (Koch's, Minutemen, Communists ... whatever) ..

11. Everyone can see this mean little construct.

You guys don't realize how much harm large amounts of small-minded nastiness might be doing to a man who might actually be seen as having potential for greatness if his message wasn't constantly being sabotaged by the irresponsible indulgences of little coteries of mean-spirited followers.

How would Bernie be doing today if all those articles written about the offensive and counterproductive behavior of his hostile followers were instead about HIM?

Finally, let understand that when we stand together, we will always win. When men and women stand together for justice, we win. When black, white and Hispanic people stand together for justice, we win. - Bernie Sanders

13. Small-minded nastiness? You know that this part of his response to Hillary SMEARING him?

And it got a LOT of cheering from the crowd. Hillary done screwed up bad.

What the secretary is doing tonight, and has done very often, is take large pieces of legislation and take pieces out of it. No, I did not oppose the bailout for the support of the automobile industry; no, I do not support vigilantes — and that is a horrific statement, an unfair statement to make. I will stand, in terms of my political career, fighting for workers, fighting for the poorest people in this country. Madam Secretary, I will match my record against yours any day.

17. That's just a bunch of Unicorn crap. He should take a page from Clinton's message machine.

Bernie's over-promising.

He should be honest and realistic and tell us that children are doomed to live in poverty. College is, and should, be unavailable to the proles. Old people are going to die anyway, so why bother with health care?

Don't bother showing up because the game is rigged and if you try to play and speak up you're a Commie Schmuck who worships Castro and wants the US to be a repressive Banana Republic.
