They've told us we're going to hell, that we are only in it for the boys, that we're like the teabaggers - how would YOU feel if you were called those things by Bernie or the few people that he has backing him (I don't mean us)?? And laughing it off and giving some sort of half-assed apology later won't cut it. No - they mean every damn word that they are spewing.

If she wins the nomination but loses the GE, it's her own damn fault for acting like this and then letting the insults come at us.
