I've never been more proud of Bernie supporters

Panetta flustered

Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta was interrupted by chants of “no more war” during his prime-time speech at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday.

The chants started raining down from sections of delegates from Oregon and Washington, both states won by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) during the Democratic presidential primary.

Eventually, other delegates drowned them out with chants of “USA.”

But the jeers took the sting out of Panetta’s jab at Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, landing just as he was about to criticize Trump for saying he hoped Russia was in possession of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s private emails.

Panetta appeared flustered as he stood on stage waiting for the chants to end.

As Panetta continued to speak, the lights were dimmed over the sections of Sanders supporters, an apparent effort to silence them.

But the protesters were undeterred and lit up cell phone flashlights in protest.

The chants undercut a portion of the convention dedicated to promoting Clinton's national security bona fides.

They have done FDR Democrats (Bernie)supporters proud. Stupid Hillary. She's such a good Reagan Republican, she actually thought Bernie could make them fall into line.

Thanks for sharing this. I having watched a bit of it. If my husband turns on the TV news and the convention is on or even being talked about, I make him mute it. Hillary's speech is barred from this house. Her voice is shrill, and I can't stand listening to her even for a minute. She could play a harpy without any practice.

It's that mechanical flat hardness in her voice that gets me. She seems to be making an effort to soften it, but the lack of humanity within her keeps showing through.

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

Thanks for the info. I changed the channel when Panetta came on, and I don't plan to watch any more of the convention except maybe Hillary’s speech. I want to know if she still claims to support everything Bernie says she does. My guess is she will start moving to the right tomorrow night, too soon but of course she thinks progressives don't have a choice anymore.

Got several retweets back. I tried to write the title of my posts in such a way as to work with twitter. This way I can tweet them and people will know what I'm tweeting about. I did a MRT with your title to help them understand.
