Whenever I feel afraid I whistle a happy tune

There have been several threads lately questioning Barbara Boxer's statement that she had been afraid in Nevada. In particular, CU of TYT has put out a video of Boxer's defiant exit from the stage, and said she flipped the bird. Someone needs to tell Cenk that yes standing up to being bullied is a response to fear.

I wanted to say more but didn't cause I didn't want the thread to be hid. But there was a piece in red state about him getting stopped in line to get on a plane and how he acted toward the female flight attendant. I thought, boy, if a repug calls you on your behavior and calls you a tool it must have been bad.

...them to put up more money than they needed. Then when the play flopped they would keep the left over money.

Yes that was said by a Bernie supporter who was spokesperson fot that group on the Chris Matthews show, the spokesperson was confronting Ralston. The sad thing about it really was that she did not realise what she was saying and the media didn't pounce on it. Do you know how many times drinking has been linked to violence in domestic abuse cases. Wow, the disconnect.
