There's a time and a place for disruption and poor sportsmanship. I would not do that. Show respect to those speakers. To Bernie this evening. And to Hillary also, on Thursday. Let's all be adults here.

The Hillary supporters, by-and-large, are adults.

They also know how to put aside petty squabbles and play as a team, which is something too many so-called "Bernie-or-Busters" have either overlooked or totally ignored.

the booing and heckling of Elijah Cummings as he spoke about civil rights has pushed me over the edge.

Throughout the day i simply viewed them as sore losers and thought "meh, let them protest" .... their current behavior gives some validity to the accusations of racism that haunted them throughout out the primary campaign. I had always hoped that the racism had come from folk pretending to support Sanders... this is beyond the pale

I am astounded (read sickened and disgusted) to see a civil rights leader talking about civil rights heckled.

We (democrats) are supposed to be better than this .... i have to face the reality that we (as a group) are not

Absolutely. And it will be shameful. But he created these delegates and this "revolution," so I won't feel sorry for him.

My bad: didn't see the OP said Clinton supporters. But there will be booing when Bernie appeals for support for Clinton/Kaine. It won't, quite obviously, be from Clinton supporters, who represent the majority and are completely civil.

and the contrast between that and the Bernie supporters who've been booing will be even more marked.
