Related: About this forumBernie: NV Party leaders ..claim ..Sanders campaign has a ‘penchant for violence.’That is nonsense.
Thank you Bernie for speaking the truth.
Within the last few days there have been a number of criticisms made against my campaign organization. Party leaders in Nevada, for example, claim that the Sanders campaign has a penchant for violence. That is nonsense. Our campaign has held giant rallies all across this country, including in high-crime areas, and there have been zero reports of violence. Our campaign of course believes in non-violent change and it goes without saying that I condemn any and all forms of violence, including the personal harassment of individuals. But, when we speak of violence, I should add here that months ago, during the Nevada campaign, shots were fired into my campaign office in Nevada and apartment housing complex my campaign staff lived in was broken into and ransacked.

"Dirty, filthy, rotten, bullies, communists and hippies."
It's like were going back in time with today's "modern" Richard Daley's Democratic Party machine operators making similar accusations against todays progressives and liberals who are supporting Bernie Sanders.

Totally dismisses his supporters in your face tactics with water bottles thrown and chairs, death threats made.
and then, like his supporters, deflects and blames trying to himself the victim.
"But, when we speak of violence, I should add here that months ago, during the Nevada camp".
We aren't talking about months ago Mr Sanders, we're talking about a cpl of days ago and the constant stream of death threats and vile comment left by Bernie's supporters for months until present.
You're not presidential material . You're a rabble rouser.

(2,054 posts)A "constant stream" you say.
How do you know they were made by bona fide Bernie campaign workers and supporters and not just posers trying to discredit Bernie's campaign and his supporters.
Have you ever heard of campaign "dirty tricks"?
This is an old and standard campaign dirty trick used for decades against candidates.
Planting false information and rumors about candidates and making public threats by people pretending to be supporters of a candidate they actually oppose are pretty common "dirty tricks" used by politicians in both major parties.

Because Bernies' supporters have been defending this kind of crap for months now. You deny everything, I've dealt with Berniebros so many also claim don't exist...oh and the staffer, also a supposed "Clinton plant"!!.
The gas lighting attempts are horrible. It's Bernie's supporters...and it's obvious.
From Camp Hillary: We see you.
But do continue on with the denial while Bernie's campaign goes down in flames!!
Feel the Bern!

(110,159 posts)That seems to be where this is heading. Sanders team seem to be the one that were trying to do the cheating, and they were stopped. Then reacted.
They tried to change the rules to their benefit.
They also didn't register correctly or unregistered and blame the DNC for their ignorance.
