Clinton campaign obtains shocking new video of BernieBros Riot in Nevada
Washington Post:
The Clinton campaign has obtained, and will soon release, a new video of what can only be described as shocking proof that Hillary was right all along.
The Clinton campaign has assured us that in this video you can clearly see a young Clinton staffer on her knees on the floor of the Paris Hotel, begging for her life. Standing over her was a 70ish-year old Sanders supporter, dressed in a "BernieBros Before Ho's" t-shirt while waving a 6-inch knife and screaming "I'll cut you bitch!"
"When the time is right, we'll release our proof to the media that all Bernie Sanders supporters are misogynistic and racist thugs and will burn in Hell, just like we've been saying since Bernie Sanders started winning primaries," said a regional Clinton campaign staffer.
In this video you can also see Sanders supporters beating women from the Clinton campaign with chairs while singing the Internationale.
When one of the women begged for mercy with a Canadian accent, the BernieBros chanted, "Upper-class, southern England English only, bitches!"
When asked about this still unseen video, a high-level Sanders staffer with a knitted-cap saying "Thug Life" stopped doing lines off the naked ass of a prostitute long enough to tell us that "A gangsta gotta do what a gangsta gotta do."
15 minutes later, when the coke was gone, several Sanders staffers approached journalists to make a statement. Between smirks and derisive laughter, one staffer asked, "If BernieBros caused violence, how come no one got arrested? We all saw that line of police officers." The staffers behind him then began coughing in a manner that sounded almost like "Bullshit!"
The Hillary campaign explained that the police officers in attendance at the Democratic conference were actually there for the annual Blind and Deaf Police Officers Conference next door. What's more, BernieBros had just stolen their canes, dark glasses, and seeing eye dogs moments before.
"We also have proof that Bernie Sanders has taken bribes directly from Donald Trump himself," the Clinton staffer went on to say. "What is Sanders' objective? The destruction of the democratic party? The subjugation of women and minorities? Treason? Clearly it is everything that pops into our minds."

You nailed it, KnotIookin.
I'm 63, still a hippie, and DO have my grandkids with me voting for Bernie!
Bernie, because fuck this shit!

I'm one too
69 and still kickin', though maybe not as high...I'm still OT to support others and for a few features, but nowhere near the way I used to spend time there. I feel like a lot of people there are showing their true colors, sad to say.

yep yep and yep!! We were told to love it or live it
(and sadly for some of us that came from our own family members) but instead we stayed and multiplied and made little radicals who made more little radicals that grew up and will vote for Bernie.

Dean Scream
The Dean scream ended his campaign, and he let it.
He didn't necessarily let it...
...his campaign funding from wealthy donors dried up and then it ended. Despite his trailblazing the Internet Campaign Funding Model, it wan't mature enough at the time to completely sustain a campaign...
I want my two dollars!
If YouTube had been around
and the full context of the Dean Scream had been available (rather than the tiny amplified soundbite we got from the media), it might not have been as devastating to his political career. Of course, considering he's now a corporate shill for the insurance lobby, maybe he wasn't cut out for the job of transforming the country anyway.
In 2016 the truth now travels right along side the lies
That's the new dynamic.

The Astonishing Thing About This
What's astonishing is how rapidly and on just face value the MSM has parroted this back to readers as the unvarnished truth. This wouldn't have happened twenty years ago. Proof was required, way back then, or their asses would have been sued off.
They've dropped all pretense of actually...
...practicing journalism. You'll get more truth from watching As The World Turns...
I want my two dollars!
truth in journalism.
The comics have more relevance politically than the MSM
Am I the only one who is concerned about this propaganda
concerning the "tendency to violence" among Bernie supporters? I fear for the safety of the protesters at the convention in Philadelphia. The police [along with the public] are being indoctrinated. They will be nervous, expecting violence, and on edge. Even a verbal confrontation could set off a police riot similar to what happened in 1968.
I fear that the people pushing this meme are setting a trap for the demonstrators. Do they actually wish bodily harm on Bernie supporters? Or do they just not care?

Life is strong. I'm weak, but Life is strong.
You're not the only one.
I am very worried. Portraying people as criminals/goons/terrorists/out of control is the way to justify hurting them.
The only thing that's worse is when they start associating people metaphorically with disease or vermin.
When they did that with Occupy, I knew bad times were coming.

Answers: no. you're not the only one, several have voiced
the same grave concerns. See my diary and comments yesterday. Activists my age remember Kent State and Jackson State as if it just happened.
Do they actually wish bodily harm on Bernie supporters, or do they just not care?
There is no either/or there, yes to both questions. Harm to a few Bernie Supporters, they hope, will discourage others from protesting the Democratic Party's corrupt practices. And it's also the truth that they simply don't care. In fact, they can bet on it. Having created the conditions wherein Bernie Supporters can be harmed and that harm deemed justified by days and days of news stories declaring that Bernie Supporters are violent offenders, they can simply sit back and wait and then wash their hands of any blame.
The ruling class has set the stage for justifying the use of deadly force against protesters in Philly-esp if they are working class protestors, or poor people, or people of color, or people with unpopular political beliefs (Bernie Supporters), etc etc etc. This is nothing new, it's been going for years and years. (see the We Never Forget series.)
Protesting under these conditions takes courage. The ruling elite of the Democratic Party is preparing the nation psychologically to accept violence against Bernie Supporters. They most likely have their agent provocateurs ready and trained also. And that shouldn't frighten us into silence either. Those who went before us did not stop protesting under these conditions and neither should we.
It is our job to expose them as liars and to not sit down and shut up when they tell us to no matter what lies they tell about us.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I found it difficult to contact Bernie himself through the campaign portals, so I sent a comment to his Senate office at:
https://www.sanders.senate.gov/contact/comment
If several people use that portal with those concerns, perhaps it will get to him personally.
Life is strong. I'm weak, but Life is strong.
I'm sure Bernie knows
what's afoot. He's no fool. That's why I'm hoping that as soon as the last primary is over he announces that he isn't going to the Democratic convention, that he is going Green or whatever his Plan B is. No Sanders people, no made-for-TV police violence.

Yes. Right after the last primary
right after "the last ballot is cast."
BTW, if he declares himself an independent candidate in June, we can put him on the November ballot in all but three states: NC, SD, and TX.

Independent Ballot
All the fear mongering, Nader blaming, Boogeyman stuff at DKos makes one believe that a vote for anyone other than Hillary, a vote of conscience, is a vote for Drumpf. Bernie could gain a third party significance never imagined running as an Independent. The 42% identifying as indies dwarfs those registered as Dems, and even moreso with R's.. Hillary has been good for nurturing the seeds of a political revolution. "We" are sick of the establishment status quo. Time to blow this pop stand of two party oligarchy

thx featheredsprite
that's a handy link, I plan to use it often.
Bernie knows the score, I'm sure, yet it can't hurt for his supporters to voice to him our concerns.

Definitely not the only one...In philly, I plan to wear
a shirt with giant lettering on it saying "Peaceful protester" or the like. I'm totally serious.
I think its going to be very tricky to stop them from creating a fake riot. All it takes is a plant or two to throw a brick at a window, and the cops have an excuse to take everybody down...
Seems to me Ben Masel had a T-shirt that
asserted various of his constitutional rights, though I may misremember.
I'm pretty sure he also carried around cards with explicit statements of the things to which he did not consent, to be handed to authoritarians when necessary.

I rec all Ben Masel references.
Just FYI.
The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?
Propaganda campaign specifically
designed to create a violent confrontation. They want to discredit the movement and drive people away. The goal is a replay of 68. On a broader scale they want to demonize liberals, that they are unreliable, prone to violence, and naive. First to scare young people away from the movement, and secondly to justify any level of repression to stop them. "We" on the left are the only serious threat to "their" (centrist Democrats and Republicans) power. There are enough voters on the Tea Party end of the spectrum to influence the party, but not enough to shatter the neoliberal/neoconservative consensus. A return to New Deal liberalism, updated for the 21st century, strikes at the heart of the monster they've created.

I suspect it's being done on purpose
and they are setting a trap for the Bernie supporters.
But in the end, it might not matter whether the spreaders of these liars have evil intent or if they are just oblivious to the consequences of their behavior.
In the end, the result will be the same.

shocking Video
I was a hairs breadth away from not reading the piece...didn't see the snark tag, and assumed it was a troll from DKos posting a turd pile . Good Job gjonsit
I thought about adding a snark tag
but then I thought, "I'm not on GOS. People here are adults."
[redacted] as a kiddo that I am I would say I hate most adults
ok, nobody gave me a thumb up for my comment, I get it. Stupid thing to say. Apologies to the author of the diary.
Sigh. I need to get a life...
