While its not a common source around these parts, jezebel.com has an interesting article how Roberta Lange, the Chairwoman of the Nevada State Democratic Party, was relentlessly bullied online after trying to tweet about the Seattle Mariner’s and her favorite player, Ken Griffey Jr.
some sample of the responses she received:
How is this helpful to the Sanders campaign?
Yes, I realize that this behavior is once again just random individuals that are unaffiliated with the campaign acting out, and there is no video of a person sitting with a #feelthebern shirt on typing the tweet, and they could simply be Clinton trolls acting like Bernie bullies online…
but there is no doubt a contingent of Sanders supports that are indistinguishable in their behavior than the “best” of the tea party zealots…
Now, i’m sure i will be branded a Hillbot, or this one post will forever label me as a sell out unknowing supporter of the monarchy…
but i just don’t understand how anyone can be so fanatical as to justify or rationalize these sort of attacks…
