So much for getting them to calm down.

[raven mad]

64. As part of the Bernie "mob" I take exception to your post.

Have Hillary flags and posters and fliers - and helped distribute them during our Golden Days celebration here. Yep, I adore Bernie. I just like my party better.

[procon]

65. Not my problem, yeah? nt

[raven mad]

66. procon I think it's everyone's problem.

And heck, I'll back Hillary 100% - showing my blue "colors" in the reddest town of the reddest state?

[ronnykmarshall]

[beachbumbob]

30. Enough is enough....Silverman is fearless...

Don't piss off a comedian..

[dubyadiprecession]

31. Sarah said it best,"To the bernie or bust people, your being ridiculous!"

[shireen]

32. "BernieOrBust ... you're being ridiculous"

I'm disappointed too, but I'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face.

Past is the past. We need to fix the future.

[onecaliberal]

34. ^^^That^^^

[sarae]

"You are being ridiculous"

[Firebrand Gary]

37. +1000

[highprincipleswork]

38. I'm a yuge Bernie supporter, and I agree. She was great! (As usual.)

Al was great also. (Went to school with Al, which was a kick.)

[tandot]

[LisaM]

[vanlassie]

44. Props from this Bernie fan.

[Chimichurri]

45. Brilliant

[Duckhunter935]

46. I so agree with her

Ridiculous!!

[fishwax]

47. She did a good job

[AwakeAtLast]

49. She was awesome!

She and Al were good together, too!

[yuiyoshida]

50. I sent her a tweet.

thought she was great.

[stopbush]

51. The BoBs were yelling "bullshit!" at Sarah by the time Paul Simon came onstage.

Sarah was visibly taken aback by their hatred.

[FailureToCommunicate]

54. And you know this how? Are you there?

Unity is the word today. Please stop with all the Bernie bashing.

[stopbush]

55. My TV has sound. Does yours?

And how is it bashing to report what happened?

[red dog 1]

86. + 1

lol

[Rose Siding]

58. Right. That's why the anti-Dem BoBers are fair game

Not bashing Bernie; bashing the sect that was spawned when he lost! See the difference?

[SunSeeker]

52. K & R

[RKP5637]

53. Great!!! Love her!!! n/t

[CanonRay]

56. Sarah rocks

[Skittles]

57. Sarah has grown on me over the years

I REALLY appreciate her now

[JoePhilly]

59. K&R

[Zippyzagnut]

60. Awesome, Sarah

Loved her speech.

[MarkEzra]

61. And She Did

Makes me proud and gives me hope

[KamaAina]

62. I may just have to dump Susan Sarandon for her.

And I won't even have to change out the monogrammed towels!

[PatrickforO]

63. It took some guts to say what she did, but it did need to be said.

Sadly, our candidate (Bernie) lost, but because of our numbers, we drove the platform of the party to the left and Bernie made it quite clear that those Dems elected, including our next Madam President, must at least try and get some of them through.

But, NOW it is time to get behind Clinton. If Trump gets into the WH, well...as Warren said, he 'must never be president.' It is simply unthinkable.

[lovemydog]

67. Here's her full speech:

If the youtube links stops working, try here: https://www.c-span.org

[onecaliberal]

68. Perfect, thank you for posting that.

[MADem]

69. And boy, she did a good job tamping that shit down!

There were a few "busters" screeching through the speeches, but they pretty much STFU'd by the time Michelle took the stage. I think their peers got a verbal slap of reality with her comment, and they took it aboard.

I couldn't believe the idiot wailing at Warren. What a schmuck! All the maturity of a ... fig.

[Beausoir]

70. Honest to god...the most courageous person in the hall! I'm SHOCKED that someone managed to find

the courage to shame the pants-shitting bros for their tantrum.

Normally not a fan of hers but she really took it on tonight.

She'll probs get a few twitter threats but by and large, the bros are finished.

[MelSC]

71. She was a huge Bernie supporter as well

Good for her!

[PeaceNikki]

75. Not *was* - She IS a huge Bernie supporter.

[farmbo]

72. Stunning...Historic... And Funny

Thanks Sarah!

[aikoaiko]

73. I was surprised to see hecklers take her down -- but she did a good comeback

with the "you're being ridiculous". Apparently she wouldn't even try to finish her prepared speech.

For a seasoned comedian and her schtick, it was surprising to me that she wasn't prepared or better able to improvise.

[hwmnbn]

74. K&R

[AlbertCat]

76. Sarah Silverman convention appreciation thread.

Wait.... Hillary supporters hated Silverman a month or so ago.

I suppose all one need do is insult Sanders' supporters and they are "Great!" and "look beautiful!"


Got it.

[Sheepshank]

77. Ahh from the group that threw everyone, including Warren, Cummings, Lewis & Bernie under the bus.

They deserved the finger pointing at their ridiculous pants shitting outburst. (note: someone up thread used the term "Pants shitting", and it seems to fit so well, I shall be using it today)

I'm one of those that didn't care for Silverman one way or the other. Assumed she was entitled to her Bernie affection, but cheered her ability to show the idiocy for what it was yesterday. Good for her.

[AlbertCat]

78. Ahh from the group that threw everyone

I'm not in that group.

I'm not involved at all in any "ridiculous pants shitting outburst."


But smugly calling people's concerns "ridiculous pants shitting outbursts" does not make me inclined to think you care whether Sanders people vote for Clinton or not.

[Sheepshank]

79. you are not part of "that" group...you proudly proclaim you independent thinking

but lump everyone else into a group....got it.

[LanternWaste]

82. No doubt, that is among the most self-validating rationalizations you can conjure

No doubt, that is among the most self-validating rationalizations you can conjure to better validate your biases.

I too used to pretend "all one needs to do is X, then Y!" but basic logic and reasoning classes illustrated to me how irrational it in fact, actually is.

[MarianJack]

80. Yay, Sarah!

PEACE!

[workinclasszero]

81. WTG Sarah!

[shenmue]

83. Thank you Sarah

[LenaBaby61]

84. THIS^^^^^

[red dog 1]

87. I've been a fan of Sarah Silverman for more than 12 years

I first saw her on "Politically Incorrect" with Bill Maher, and she was hilarious!
Every single thing she said on that show was funny...I fell in love with her!

My favorite Sarah Silverman line was from a Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson, where she looked out over the audience & said:
"It's good to see Courtney Love in the audience - I left my crack in my other purse."

She's not only beautiful & funny....she also can act.
I loved her in "School of Rock"

[Bill USA]

88. I thought she could have told them they need a "time out" ... over in the corner.
