The Bernie bullies have been ugly since Day One; nasty, mean, spiteful, arrogant, full of themselves.

Bernie Sanders supporters getting Ugly online
http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-35422316
Passionate support for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has propelled him into a close race with fellow Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. But some say that support has turned aggressive and abusive online.
After the 25 January Democratic town hall, Emily Nussbaum, television critic for the New Yorker magazine, tweeted some positive feedback for Hillary Clinton.
"I'm into Hillary, obviously, but I genuinely thought she did really well tonight," Ms Nussbaum wrote.
About a half an hour later, she followed up with this: "Man, the Feel The Bern crew (as opposed to Bern himself) is such a drag. Say anything pro-Hil & they yell 'bitch' & 'psycho.' V idealistic!"
Others - including a number of prominent members of the media - followed with their own reports of seeing Sanders supporters deploying vicious rhetoric towards anyone questioning the Vermont senator or his backers.
Author Sady Doyle said her tweets about Sanders supporters resulted in "several hundred angry notifications in a 24-hour span from that cohort," she wrote. "Someone also said *I* should die if I thought some Bernie supporters were kinda sexist."

38. Couple these with all of the substantiated reports, and it lends a lot of credibility
Sanders Supporters have a reputation in the cyber world. They deny and ignore, never ever truthfully address the problem. I'm actually fine with all of that. It turns a lot of people off when the thrashing, swarming, rude, obnoxious is so obvious. Thanks Sanders supporters, you make my work so much easier.

16. When a person...
When a person convinces himself or herself that his or cause is more noble and important than everybody else's cause there is little they can not justify doing in their own minds. That is the genesis of a lot of human misery.
<<<blames ^^^ it on the WillyT primitive, who really needs to keep his blindfold on when he walks out into the Los Angeles Expressway during rush hour.

26. Getting ugly? Been ugly.
I got kicked out of the Bernie Sanders group because I disagreed with Omaha Steve.* I think I had a grand total of two posts in there. Of course, I've been very clear that I'm voting for Hillary Clinton, so maybe they just don't want me in there.
*not to worry; Big Lardo's probably going to get his, soon.

27. Ideological Purity must be maintained
any deviation will not be tolerated
Uh huh, and that's the difference between the Bernie bullies and the primitives supporting the worthier candidate. The primitives supporting the worthier candidate simply merely wish to convince others; the Bernie bullies think that all non-Bernie primitives should be killed, wiped off the face of the earth.
