In reply to the discussion: Math says to me that Sanders has a shot at winning the nomination [View all]GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)110. You so blithely defend booing John Lewis?
Who got his head bashed in while marching over the Edmond Pettus bridge by racist cops in the original Selma march which almost killed him. Then sat not 20 feet from MLK as he gave the 2nd most influential speech in this nations history as his role as the leader of the radical youth branch of the civil rights movement.
But booing this great man, perhaps the greatest living American, is justified cause he was mean to your hero?
Attacking anyone, no matter how distinguished is justified if he is critical of your guy? Reminds me of attacks on critical POWs for getting captured.
You just validated my original point.
Thanks.

I support Bernie. Whether or not he wins the primary, his voice will be valuable during the debates.

What exactly is "progressive" about encouraging anyone to smear and denigrate Democrats?

And John Lewis only said he never met Bernie. Because some of his delusional supporters claimed BS

The cheering by delegates was because we were warned in advance about this stunt

Not to mention, the whole point was that Senator Sanders had fewer delegates.

His campaign may serve as non-violent "brass knuckles" to promote progressive policy position.

That would mean both parties are running kremlin candidates. RT can host the debates.
