Sen. Barbara Boxer, a veteran of Democratic politics, says she never saw anything quite like this before.
Loud cursing, shouting, obscene gestures and vile insults, including crude comments about the female anatomy. It was all on display over the weekend as supporters of Bernie Sanders turned the Nevada State Democratic Convention into chaos.
"I was not able to stop these people for doing what they did," Boxer, a Hillary Clinton supporter, told CNN. "Apparently they've done it before. .... This group of about 100 were very vocal, and I can't describe it -- disrespectful doesn't even explain it, it was worse than that."
[Snip]
Many Democrats fear that if Sanders does not rein in his supporters, the same ugly scene that occurred in Las Vegas last weekend could replicate itself in the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
"He should get things under control," Boxer said of Sanders, saying it was worse than the vitriol during the Bush-Gore 2000 recount. "We're in a race that is very critical. We have to be united. He knows that. I have in fact, called him a couple times, left a couple messages. I'm hopeful he can get control of this."

“Loud cursing, shouting, obscene gestures and vile insults, including crude comments about the female anatomy. It was all on display over the weekend as supporters of Bernie Sanders turned the Nevada State Democratic Convention into chaos.”
By all means, it’s been an interesting campaign season.
Sounds like typical tolerant,diversity loving Democrat Communists
Let the Democrats reap the whirlwind they have sown.
The fruit of a political party that has turned from GOD. The Democrat Party has been given over to a debased mind.
**********************************************************
Remember which party booed God at their convention? (Rhetorical)
“including crude comments about the female anatomy.”
They were calling people “aprons”.
My thoughts exactly; they don’t fear a repeat of Las Vegas but a repeat of 1968 Chicago...
thanks for your preventative blindness measure. I was fearful for a few seconds.
OMGOSH...this is the funniest thing I have seen...
Go Bernie Go!!! with all your supporters, turn Philly into the real hell hole it really is, and upset that ‘Butcher of Benghazi’ ....
I can imagine Ms. Boxer not knowing what the heck happened...ROFL!!!
Trump can beat Bernie or Hillary, doesn’t matter, but I would love to see Bernie wipe the floor up with her!!!
But they aren't far apart on social issues or on foreign policy, are they?
Hillary's been taking over Bernie's positions on other issues.
And race isn't really as much of a factor as it would be if the left-wing candidate had a large minority group in his camp.
So I don't think there'll be a rebellion or open war at the convention.
The Dems problem may come afterwards, when Hillary tries to move to the center and the Bernie-ites feel betrayed.
Oh no, they’re in trouble now, they were disrespectful and I thought only military generals treated her that way. She worked so hard for her title.
"I've not had my 'pology," said he, sulkily.
Yes, Sanders is quite revolting.
Don’t know whether to laugh or cry when a nobody who has accomplished nothing can give the prime nominee a run for her money. The poor Dems have nobody left with over a 12 IQ it seems.
Let me give you a hand.
/sarc
Thanks for the laugh!
You’re welcome. That will be every FReeper if there is a Bernie v. Hillary war at the convention!
Boxer never seemed at all bothered by “Chimpy McBushHitler”, and “Bush=Hitler”, etcetera!!!/sarcasm;)
Sounds like the “Old Fellow Travelers” are starting to fear the Red Guard they created.
