If it's any consolation, NPR isn't talking about the protestors

They are talking about Biden's speech and about people yelling "USA". Somehow they haven't really picked up on the fact that the "USA" chant was probably to drown out protestors. They are talking about Democrats taking back the patriotism label.

And I bet you nailed it - I, too, think the "USA - USA - USA" business was started to drown out the protesters.

I wish the boo'ers would STOP. It makes us all look bad.

It makes Bernie look bad and makes everything he fought for in terms of making the process more accessible less likely.

People from "the left." Shit. That doesn't do ANY of us any good. Makes Bernie look bad, but beyond that, it makes US ALL look bad.

And Leon Panetta was THE point-making guy tonight who was gonna bring up the Trump/Russian thing from this morning. And those jerks just would NOT cooperate.

They haven't been fixating on the side stories as much as CNN was when I was watching over there.
