From Daily KOS, article from a Bernie Supporter:
"The Zealotry is Getting Out of Hand"

Full Disclosure: I have attended numerous "Bernie" events. I was also at the rally and Netroots Nation in Phoenix, and I have donated money to those who are working on behalf of Bernie and the campaign.
While that is true, I'm finding that the commentary of several - not all - supporters of Bernie Sanders is not nearly as informative - and sometimes intellectually dishonest - in a way that is not making for a battle of ideas, but rather a demonizing of those who do not support Bernie as much as you do. It is also running over those ideas and important issues while we fill up the REC list with generic daily BERNIE IS AWESOME! material while many great stories that need attention should get them."
This morning, during a conference call, the joke came up that in order to get attention, the quickest way was to put BERNIE! in some fashion in their title. While I am all for rah-rah we support Bernie as a Bernie supporter, too much of this has also turned into: "Hillary is SO unacceptable I will quit if X" or "Hillary is borderline evil" which several comments have filled with seeming scorn of Hillary supporters.
While I support Bernie, I have no problem saying I would gladly, happily vote for Hillary in a general election. Her stances on many issues are VERY progressive, and her direct track record includes something I can't forget: by all accounts, her work on helping select and manage judges for the Clinton administration brought us names who have shaped the courts we have in a very positive way. Does anyone doubt that the selection of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a significant moment for progressives? Or that the choices made to go away from insider "preferred" picks - like George Mitchell?

She appreciates the announcer's comments!
Runs off to find a Bernie OP I might have missed reccing.
about her, and even fewer rec the ones that do. There are times I'm almost tempted to give them a pity rec. I guess Bernie must be more interesting because they just love spending all their time posting about Bernie or in this case Bernie's supporters.
to change the subject.
die in a country with no hope railing at the sky in my chains. I have babies that need a bigger future than Hillary is prepared to give. Hugs to you and yours. 
I'm old, so for me it is all about my children and grandchildren (great-grandchildren if the world becomes less hostile).
TY roguevalley for such a kind reply.
back-atcha to you and yours.
so he doesn't have to suffer such zealotry.
