long as they're being called "Bernie supporters" - when they're NOT - these Teabagger hecklers will continue to do everything they can to disrupt the Democratic Party Convention. Their hatred for civil rights icon, John Lewis, is in keeping with the hatred the RW-Whites and Republicans have for John Lewis.

Where were these "heroes" during the Republican Convention?

Fuck'em.

Maybe they just need "more time". We need to "consider their feelings".

Just because a person calls himself or herself a liberal doesn't mean he or she isn't a racist, misogynist, sexist, xenophobe, et cetera.

I assure you that it is only settings like that where those pusillanimous cretins would try to silence a black man.

heckle people like John Lewis who have actually walked the walk in advancing civil rights and other progressive causes over the years, all they're doing is showing their true colors. They're not winning over anyone who is outside their small circle or making John Lewis look bad; they're just pissing people off.
