Some his followers finally got all the way over the line.

And in a very public way.

Bernie's response was tepid at best.

So far the press mostly gave him a free pass.
Looks like that's over.

Good thing he wasn't closer to actually being our nominee.

calling him a political terrorist is crazy IMO. His supporters who acted like vicious thugs? Sure. But Bernie himself? He had an opportunity to make a strong statement and he didn't, and that makes him complicit, but I would not call him a political terrorist by any stretch, and I think it's ridiculous to do so.

I don't care for puppies. My kids kept bringing them home, and I got to feed them and take them outside. I prefer little birds.

You evidently prefer wars of opportunity and global privatization of healthcare and retirement benefits. And continuous flip flops and walkbacks. $12 an hour? Not gonna happen.

Know your candidate, and keep your puppy. You'll need it when your Icon gets indicted.

Only Bernie and his supporters have to watch their tone. Evidently reference to gunplay, fisticuffs and Nazi name calling is being added to the "tone" meme. See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil - about Hillary and the Hillarians.

Bernie's response to NV has once again exposed him as weak. He has confirmed the impression I got of him after datagate (which is when I ceased being neutral and chose against Bernie). His supporters' behavior in NV was reprehensible, and his response to it was sad.

But to call him a political terrorist is unnecessary and absurd.
