We've got a few people scattered here and there who incite the masses, who use incendiary language, who will do anything to piss people off and tear down anyone who has a following.
Bernie has suffered the same slights and insults--but not from the Clinton supporters here. Most think he's a nice guy, a fair guy, an honorable guy, a good guy-- even if they don't think he has the personality or the leadership qualities to be POTUS. The hate and vitriol heaped upon him come from people sharing his political party, who are to the LEFT of the view the Clinton-bashers purport to embrace.
Read some of this stuff, courtesy of the Socialists--it's every bit as vitriolic as the stuff Clinton's catching. Even some of the hot-breathed exhortations sound similar. Makes me wonder if they all aren't copying one another~!
