If you did you have to face some facts which you are clearly wishing were not so.

She was being hateful. The NV chair had just railroaded both Bernie AND Hillary supporters by subverting the Democratic process in order to avoid dealing with issues she didn't want to.. and Barbara here couldn't possibly have cared less

Enjoy the fallout

Highlight:

Boxer did not "flip the bird" or say she "feared for her life", Steinem never called women "sluts" [View all] bettyellen May 2016 OP

Sure, "feared for her safety" is completely different. Dawgs May 2016 #1

by a large order of magnitude. The bird flipping lies are all over GDP. No lie too big or small... bettyellen May 2016 #2

Regardless what you think, she didn't fear for her life or her safety. Dawgs May 2016 #5

The people who said she flipped the bird can be proven as liars. People claiming to know her state bettyellen May 2016 #12

How can you tell what she thinks? hrmjustin May 2016 #15

It would be easy to assume that if she didnt show fear, she didnt have any. Jackie Wilson Said May 2016 #53

That was apparent in the video..if anything she was trolling the people who were rightfully haikugal May 2016 #65

Hahahaha! Completely pantsed the OP! Yurovsky May 2016 #4

Yea it was soon hilarious Ohioblue22 May 2016 #47

Boxer flipped the bird and said she feared for her safety AgingAmerican May 2016 #3

Nope, she unmistakably wagged her index finger. Easily seen in the pics. bettyellen May 2016 #6

She flipped off the audience AgingAmerican May 2016 #8

The pictures show she did not- unless she has seven fingers. bettyellen May 2016 #14

Here's the photo adjusted in Photoshop to show things more clearly Bob41213 May 2016 #31

Middle fingers are located in the middle, not off center like that. Sorry to disappoint you... bettyellen May 2016 #35

>Middle fingers are located in the middle, not off center like that< GreatGazoo May 2016 #61

The thing that looks like her last finger (edge of her hand) is someone's head so yes it looks like 2cannan May 2016 #37

This is not Barbara Boxer flipping people off. Sky Masterson May 2016 #7

Yes it is AgingAmerican May 2016 #10

It's clearly the same index finger she had been wagging moments before. bettyellen May 2016 #13

In what country do people hold up their index finger in that manner vintx May 2016 #17

Does an index finger mean "flipping off" or "the bird"- clearly it does not, in America. bettyellen May 2016 #19

I don't blame you for not wanting to answer. vintx May 2016 #21

Bernie wags his finger all day long- but THAT is okay with you. Got it! bettyellen May 2016 #23

Sad. nt vintx May 2016 #42

I think it could be either. Sky Masterson May 2016 #20

Hodor! The three knuckles say it all- as does the fact that she was waving that same index bettyellen May 2016 #25

If you look you will see there short little nub down next to her index finger Autumn May 2016 #22

LOL, nope. You can see three knuckles, which makes it impossible unless she has seven fingers. bettyellen May 2016 #24

Then she has 7 fucking fingers because there is a bent down finger next to her index finger Autumn May 2016 #29

Snopes says you are wrong, and we can all see the three knuckles clearly. It is not MID hand. bettyellen May 2016 #34

You can see two knuckles cleanly on one side of her finger and one on the other Autumn May 2016 #45

Your nonsense has been debunked, have a good day. bettyellen May 2016 #51

no, thats the face everybody else makes when they flip someone off reddread May 2016 #26

Of course she didn't. She did throw a few chairs though. cherokeeprogressive May 2016 #9

Ok, what about those mocking kisses she was blowing arikara May 2016 #11

People are often pissed off and scared in the same moment- reactions like that are common. bettyellen May 2016 #16

So you're a psychiatrist now..? Amazing! closeupready May 2016 #38

But it is you guys claiming you can say what was in her head, not me. And yes- people can bettyellen May 2016 #41

Ok ok somebody had fun with photoshop nadinbrzezinski May 2016 #18

This is what Gloria Steinem said: Aerows May 2016 #27

layers of sexism reddread May 2016 #28

It is not calling women sluts or slut shaming them- which is what I have seen repeated here. bettyellen May 2016 #33

I repeated word for word Aerows May 2016 #36

While it was foolish of her, it does not rise to the level of "slut shaming" as was claimed here. bettyellen May 2016 #39

It was insulting/dismissing Millennials, which unfortunately has been a trend from the Hillary side. Warren DeMontague May 2016 #44

That as little to do with what I was saying- about the "slut shaming" crap.... bettyellen May 2016 #48

I think there has been hyperbolic exaggeration from both sides, to be sure. Warren DeMontague May 2016 #55

And all of that is *you* making a value judgment on Aerows May 2016 #52

I am not trying to cast it in a positive light. I was highlighting the twisted exaggeration bettyellen May 2016 #60

Nor has Pope Photo Op endorsed Sanders PeaceNikki May 2016 #30

Thanks so much! Aerows May 2016 #32

Lol. Dragged? You're... PeaceNikki May 2016 #49

I got a suggestion and I am half way serious nadinbrzezinski May 2016 #40

It is "inconvenient" that purported liberals were screaming B*TCH at her, yes it was. bettyellen May 2016 #43

My goodness angry people got heated at a nadinbrzezinski May 2016 #46

You want to normalize sexist slurs hurled at working women, that is on you. I refuse to. bettyellen May 2016 #50

None is normalizing a thing dear nadinbrzezinski May 2016 #57

Oh goody. Aerows May 2016 #59

Well could not or would not fight against the falling narrative nadinbrzezinski May 2016 #63

I wish Boxer flipped the bird after that mess. RandySF May 2016 #56

She did actually nadinbrzezinski May 2016 #58

She blew lots of taunting kisses arikara May 2016 #62
