Snopes: Media Accounts of Sandernista Chair Throwing at Nevada Convention 'False'
NewsBusters ^ | May 22, 2016 | P.J. Gladnick

You might have heard the tales of horror over the supposed throwing of chairs by disgruntled Bernie Sanders supporters at the recent Democrat convention in Nevada. Several news outlets repeated those fables to demonstrate how barbaric the Sandernistas are in stark contrast to the "civilized" folks who support Hillary Clinton. California Senator Barbara Boxer who was present even claimed that she feared for her safety. However, one problem. No chairs were thrown. Snopes.Com has rated that story as false.

Not that the Sandernistas aren't capapable of a lot worse as we have seen inside and outside of Trump rallies. However in this case, the media allies of Hillary have trumped (pun intended) the charge about the chair throwing since they need to aid her faltering campaign by portraying Sandernistas as uncontrollable which they are when it involves conservatives.

Or it could be that the Sanders crowd controls Snopes.

She sits as chairwoman of the intelligence committee
but she has Hillary's credibility problem too ?
Fearful for her own safety, among her own Democrat party get-together,
where she had security personel assigned .

I don’t know if Snopes likes Bernie or Hillary more, but they have been giving the Clintons the “partial” and “not really” and “true but” and “true and false” cover for YEARS.

I remember when they “investigated” all the Arkancide murders. They said they were all merely coincidences. Pretty amazing they can get all the details on the investigations to come up with such a claim.

Snopes is fun if you want to know if a photo is faked or if there really are gators in the sewers. If you are researching political fodder, facts or fairy tales, I’d steer clear. They are in the tank for liberals.

If you are not sure, research the Dan Rather story on Bush AWOL. They may have updated as it’s been years since I checked it. But they had the “maybe” and fake but true moniker at one time.

Shoot! We should do our own research. Snopes is unreliable. These Liberal square dancers are taken as the gospel truth? Give me a break!

Snopes attack on Dan Greenfield shows how incompetent they are

Seems like usually when Snopes steps in to “fact check,” it’s when someone on the left needs some help with their story.

Well... all those stories where the Left looks bad; e.g., Bill Clinton on pedo island; etc., are all plots cooked up by euvil right wingers. Doncha know that?

Barbara Boxer is chairwoman of a committee?

Mitch is doing even a worse job of running the Senate than I thought.
