Claiming Non-Violent People Committed Violence Will Really Get Them To Support HRC This Fall Right?

I think this tactic the HRC Campaign and the MSM cooked up to claim people (other than the Hillary Supporter who WAS arrested for assault) are committing acts of violence is backfiring now, and will backfire all the way to Trump's eventual win.

Half the Democratic Party, and more than half of Independents support Sanders. Calling us "violent" when none of us have even been arrested committing acts of violence is beyond stupid. Belittling us because we want REAL change faster than slow motion is really gonna help too.

Might as well just give the White House to the Birther Trump with this fake false flag story.

People were pissed. The media never seemed to mention why. People were loud, but no one got hurt. Period.

There's not any real left wing like there is in Europe, in America... because even Bernie (yuge supporter here) has a gun stance that would make Europeans throw up a little in their mouths.

But he's as close as America can seemingly have so... fingers crossed!!

Clinton though... jeez!

If third parties had an actual chance in elections, THAT'S how you attack the establishment.

Claims of violence when there was none, and Babs being askered is about all there is.

They are trying to create controversy so they can get eyeballs but it is sickening.

They missed the story completely, and keep kicking that dead dog.

If a plane didn't go down, they would still be talking about non-existent violence.

They suck beyond measure.

Pure propaganda.

and I didn't whine, I sued him.

Got the difference between 'whining' and taking action? I know who supports action and will take actions that benefit We the People.

Simple math.

Sorry, but Hillary isn't going to bow and scrape to a bunch of whiners. You don't want to support her? Buh bye.

and don't bet you have sufficient FRIENDS.

NO ONE expects her to bow and scrape, just to be honest and straightforward.

and I'll think about it.

BTW -do you actually believe Sanders is straight forward? Have you seen the "plans" to pay for his proposals? Have you heard him say he still has a chance to win the nomination?

Please.

You're SO RIGHT, that was an occasional reprimand from my Dad when I was a CHILD.
