Today's Hillary meme: Scary mean 'Cyber Bullies"

1.The ongoing attacks on all of Bernie's mean ol' cyber bullies' sounds like the pathetic cries of a person stuck in the mud when it comes to social media

2. You're running for President. If you can stand up to a little online disagreement, then how are you going to stand up for the country?

3. Quit whining and run a campaign that people are inspired by. Haters are going to hate, Clinton just feeds into that for sympathy and its goofy.

who excuse any assinine comment the candidate makes. The article clearly stated that NO comparison was made between Clinton and Hitler politically.

Both sides are using ridiculous comparisons. A few weeks ago a Hillary supporter compared Bernie supporters to the Red Guard during the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

his former supporters who are disappointed in him for no longer being part of the "Democratic wing of the Democratic party" ???

why are you glad about that? it is not going to dampen the criticism, which is based on Bernie winning Vermont in a blowout.

to what end are you glad about this? there is an established 3rd party in Vermont to the left of the Democrats, so people have a choice. Dean is potentially doing damage to the party on the state level, which will have consequences down the line, statewide.

think Vermont wouldnt send a Republican to DC? it had Jeffords not too long ago.

be prepared to be glad about that sometime soon....

I am just as aggressive in real life. So, there is that. Well not really anymore. Being sick has taken care of that. But, I still have a voice and if someone is upset because I called them on their bullshit, well that just makes me feel good all the way to my bones.

Man. The very idea that mere citizens might state a disagreement with a Great Man is offensive to Al. It's his decade, we just live in it.
'How dare my constituents criticize me in any way, they deserve public chiding and mockery for daring such an overstep of boundries. They must learn their place, and I will shame them into silence!'

The rest of us don't have the option of voting for whom we want, so we'll kiss the ring and hope for the best.

Trump called Bernie a communist, and Clinton implicitly did the same in the Univision debate.

These idiots don't understand how the internet works.
It's pretty pathetic and there is certainly a technological divide from what I've seen between Hillary supporters and Bernie supporters. What Dean doesn't understand it's 2016 not 1996 and people literally with one single click can fact check everything.
Sorry Howard Dean but get wrecked, we're sick of phonies.

It's that they circulate jokes about the lies, and nothing gets passed around more quickly than a joke.
