May I ask you, Fearless, what’s the excuse for the East LA Hillary event gauntlet that Hillary supporters were forced thru by screaming and shouting Bernie supporters on their way to see Hillary speak? You know, the one where they were verbally assaulted with Bernie supporters’ cursing, hurling of vile and sexist

Yes, people who disagree with you just don’t understaaaaaand.

I’m sorry, what an asshatted FAIL of a comment this is. The article is literally about the barrage of death threats and personal attacks on a state party chair, and you’re explicitly scolding Anna (a Bernie supporter) for covering that story? Because that is a legitimate story. Or maybe you think

“It’s selective reporting, and it’s never favored us liberals.”

What does you being a woman have to do with this? Nothing. Either chairs were thrown or they weren’t. Either threats were made or they weren’t. You admit yourself that your own video footage has been run on major networks. But then turn around and claim that the coverage has been biased. Cognitive dissonance alert.

My feeling is, if these had been Trump supporters, would we be so concerned with “telling both sides” and “not painting people with a broad brush”? We already know the answer to this, and it’s no, we would not. We also wouldn’t be satisfied when the candidate in question mumbles a bit about not supporting violence but

This is the futhest thing from one-sided that could possibly have been written about the incident. Anna went directly to the people involved, got their sides of the account, and even seemed to make quite an effort to humanize them. If anything, it’s one-sided in their favor.

Bernie lost. Get over it. Now you’re just making him and his supporters look bad.

OMG did you literally just say she was clearly taking orders from “some man” and that’s why she did something evil? Jesus, this is Jezebel, can we at least give women credit for being evil on their own without needing a man to tell them what to do...?

Exactly this. It’s not about which candidate you support or whether you think the system is rigged or whether you think Hillary Clinton eats dead puppies for lunch (she does).

Bernie would get absolutely destroyed by Trump. Hillary didn't even attack him and is millions of votes ahead.

You sound just like a Trump supporter saying that Trump’s supporters aren’t violent racist misogynists. I mean it was only one guy that punched that supporter in the face! What about all those good Trump supporters in the crowd who didn’t do anything!

“There is a video of it not happening, for crying out loud.”

They are not “nasty tweets,” they are threats—some of them aimed at children. And if you think that’s not a major problem with the democratic process, I don’t know what to tell you.

I think the error was not changing the rules to suit the Bernatics.

So... #NotAllBerns

instead of just focusing on the most aggressive people in the room?

I’m sorry, I have to say something. I’m a Bernie supporter, and a longtime Jezebel reader, AND I was there in the room. I shot some videos that have been aired on major networks, and I actually have a relatively neutral perspective.

Does it honestly not bother you that Bernie supporters are sending death threats to a woman who, as far as I can tell, was just doing her job? I get wanting to have positive coverage of your preferred candidate, but any coverage of the event that leaves out the booing and death threats is still pretty slanted - it’s

The NFL is booming. Only non sports fans who read Gawker think all that bad media actually effects the die hard sports fan.
