“We kicked his ass tonight,” a senior Clinton aide told me Tuesday night. “I hope this convinces Bernie to tone it down. If not, f--- him.”

Don’t get in the gutter with the Clinton campaign. Don’t act like a 12 year old and call him/her a “dick,” as some do.
Tell Hillary what you think by giving Bernie a donation: berniesanders.com/…
$5, $10, whatever you can. $5 speaks a lot louder than this person’s words.
We hear the Clinton campaign loud and clear. And we don’t forget. That cowardly senior aide should identify himself or herself. I assume this is Hillary’s view. So be it.
The arrogance and dishonesty of that campaign offends many. It offends the hell out of me. Change our tone? Release the damn transcripts! Come clean, Hillary!
Redouble our efforts. She beat Obama by 16 percent. She beat Bernie by the same. We will not yield.
To the convention.
Update I: What a fun post. A senior Clinton aide says FU about Bernie, and some Clinton supporters attack me. Love the insults folks. I got called a “dick” and a whole lot more. Seems like old times. Don’t hold back. Knock yourselves out.
Update II: Oh, a great one! AdamB dredged up a link to show I supported John Edwards in 2007. That means I cannot criticize Hillary for voting for Bush’s war, says Adam.
By January 2007, Edwards and Kucinich were the most antiwar candidates. Edwards opposed the surge. In 2005, Edwards admitted his vote was a mistake. At that time Hillary still supported the war. She never admitted a mistake on her vote in 2007 or 2008.
I opposed the war, protested it before it began. The tactic of personalizing attacks on me did not start with Adam. But his was amusing.
Update III: A Hillary supporter put a picture of a button insulting Hillary high up in the threads. Of course, this button was not worn by an Bernie aide and for all I know is photoshopped. He obviously does not care. Should be hidden by Hillary folks reccing it up.
The comments in this post have taught me a lot about “unity.” The personal insults and attacks.
We hear you loud and clear, Clinton campaign.
Update IV: Seems like this nasty picture, spammed at least three times in my post, has nothing to do with Bernie or a Bernie supporter.
This type of shit-disturbing isn’t helpful. If you google this picture, you will find it comes mainly from Twitter, spread by a certain person who happens to be a Clinton email writer (from her twitter profile) and it appears to be a female mannequin as it looks to have originated by someone who owns a business called LaLa Land Tee Shirts. And numerous tweets from many individuals saying these buttons were first seen being handed out by an anonymous woman at a Trump rally.
Needless to say, the provenance of this picture is dubious at best. People should [not] uprate and encourage the posting of malicious stuff like this that just serves to inflame.
Update V: This is a good one:
His idealized white men keep losing. Maybe the world has changed a bit and he hasn’t caught up yet.
Now note the implied charge of sexism and racism, as well as the “sore loser” reductionism.
A fine example of “weasel words.” He wants to call me a sexist and racists, but knows that is false and he might get flagged. So we get the implied charge with deniability.
I give it a 3 on scale of 1 to 10. He blew the dismount.
