32. Oh, 'they started it so that makes my behavior okay' excuse. Got it.

I was just reading a few posts over in the Hillary forum (which I'm blocked from because Cha didn't like one of my comments) and it seems to me that some to most of Hillary fans aren't much different from some or most of Bernie fans when it comes to being snarky or disrespectful.

Let's be honest with each other: we want Bernie to win and you want Hillary to win. The big difference I think is that before Bernie announced he was running, Hillary fans figured it was no contest to the nomination. It was her turn, it was her time. What Democrat would dare oppose her? In steps Bernie to challenge Hillary. How dare he? He's not even a real Democrat! She'll still get the nomination but I think Bernie may have pointed out some of her flaws and made her spend more money during the primary that she was hoping to use in the GE.

Anyways, no matter who started it or said this or did that, for Hillary fans who speak of avoiding the GD-P forum to come over once in a while anyway just to be flippant for no reason other than to be dirt-stirring sore winners kind of chaps my ass a bit.
