https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/732618967181746178/pu/vid/190x180/8dyLZHoQhOqf1kkl.mp4Because you were compelled to run stock footage of wrestlers throwing chairs for your piece last night, now you have some real footage to work with. Of course, you will correct the record, right?

(1,235 posts)beat up the Sander's supporter couple?
Like when that big Hillary supporter came running up to the front of the stage to aggressively confront Sanders supporters who were 'chanting'?

(2,145 posts)I wish Clinton would ask her supporters to respect the process and be even-handed and fair. It might help.

(1,473 posts)Yes he did.
I have no idea if there are any more videos. I'm sure we'll see soon. Sanders supporters screamed profane insults throughout Saturday's convention. It wasn't just booing oh yeah, I forgot #FreepassforBerniesupporters
I know, I know its time to whittle it down and pretend its nothing because its Sanders supporters.
davidlynch
(644 posts)And the Hillary supporters have already gone on record saying that people were "throwing chairs". Notice plural. That is to say, their narrative is false.
puffy socks
(1,473 posts)and DWS said there were chairs thrown. I'll take her word before I take the word of the fools who keep fabricating conspiracy theories , threatening people, playing dirty politics. and lying. If there's a video from the location I hope it comes out soon.
Not only that their behavior was reprehensible regardless of chair throwing . It wasn't just booing.
Bernie's going down, and going down hard unless he pulls his head out of his soon.

(3,428 posts)Act of aggression. He was stopped, but it was definitely a scary action.

(3,687 posts)The guy held the chair over his head for about 2 sec and someone took it from him and set it down - THE END.
Right wingers (not you rusty fender) are authoritarian, histrionic, frightened little children
rusty fender
(3,428 posts)Had to wrap their arms around him to hold him back---he definitely wanted to fight someone or break something.
This is the problem with Libertarians: when they don't get their way, they just want to break people's heads.

(3,687 posts)Today Hartmann has 2 eye witnesses (one of them a DNC person) on his radio show
Basically DWS is a lying sack of crap and Bernie and his supporters are being swiftboated by DWS, Camp weathervane, the Corporate media. FUck these creatures.

(4,465 posts)Guess what .... It is not normal to hold a chair over one's head "for even two seconds".
For what purpose if not to threaten?
To keep the rain off his head? To keep the sun iut of his eyes?
Under almost every circumstance that is threatening behavior.

(4,825 posts)that Rachel is actually worse than Fox. Where's a progressive to get their news these days? I like Amy Goodman and Thom Hartman myself.

snowy owl
(2,145 posts)Wringing of hands and clicking of tongues on part of Clinton surrogates. Jones said perhaps Clinton should also have made clear that all primaries and all conventions and counts and delegates should be honest should be honest and respectful. But has she? Has even one Clinton supporter heard her utter such words? It's a small incident of deserved protest.

(10,650 posts)Maddow is usually a more subtle. In her push for Hillary though, she's gone to extremes. Playing a phony video over the narrative of a story is about as low as you can get in journalism.
Cheese Sandwich
(9,086 posts)Just like it's not obvious to her fans.
Not to pick too much on one person. Chris Hayes is a HUGE sell out. He's almost more disappointing because I expected better from him. His book was really good. I don't think anybody honest can survive on that channel.

(2,145 posts)CNN is increasing its viewership but still behind Fox. And Fox is getting better while MSNBC is getting worse. But CNN still most neutral. I used to be a fan of MSNBC - addicted in fact - until this primary season. I couldn't ignore the bias - every minute of every broadcast. And I recognize juvenile mockery when I see it. I am now watching CNN pretty regularly. And besides, their non-news programming is so far ahead of either MSNBC or Fox News, I'm surprised anybody watches those two on off-news days. Lock up? Really?
