Of ALL the shit the Sanders campaign has been accused of the last few months, throwing a fucking chair was the LEAST of them. And even if not a single chair was actually thrown, we've all seen the video of these folks screaming, rushing the stage and hollering like they had no sense.
They can't even pretend to deny that people screamed at Hillary so much during one of her rallies it had to end early and shouted profanities at freaking children as they left, including tearing up a child's Hillary sign that Hillary had autographed.
They can't even deny that the Nevada Dem chair has had HUNDREDS of profanity laced phone calls, including death threats and being called a "cunt" on her phone since the Nevada convention from Sanders supporters.
They can't even deny that Sanders supporters called Barbara Boxer, a Democratic senator, a "bitch" in front of the whole world.
They can't even deny that Sanders' "response" to the Nevada madness was damn near as craven as the idiocy itself.
But no one threw a chair. Huzzah!1 Oh, and let's keep talking about that one black guy that beat up a Sanders supporter. What do you mean he went to jail and got his mug shot plastered all over the media??! That's CLEARLY the same thing as hundreds and hundreds of people acting like DERANGED LUNATICS at a Democratic convention, at Democratic rallies, on social media, on people's phones, and in media releases. LORD have mercy.....
