Convention Nutter: Oy vey, you Bernie or Bust people are ridiculous
2016-07-26
[CNBC] PHILADELPHIA -- Comedian Sarah Silverman had a harsh message Monday for Bernie Sanders supporters who have made an ultimatum: "You're being ridiculous."

Silverman, who backed the senator from Vermont in the Democratic primary, took the Democratic National Convention stage with Sen. Al Franken, a fellow comedian and Hillary Clinton supporter. Silverman said she would "vote for Hillary with gusto, as (she continues) to be inspired by the ideals set forth by Bernie."

Some delegates on the Wells Fargo Center floor broke out in a chant of "Bernie!" Over the gathering chant, Silverman chided back: "To the 'Bernie or Bust' people, you're being ridiculous."

Sanders mounted a strong Democratic primary challenge to Clinton, railing against what he called entrenched politicians and financial industry elites. Some Sanders supporters have pledged not to vote for presumptive nominee Clinton, who some feel embodies the systemic problems Sanders highlighted.

Sanders has endorsed Clinton and urged his supporters to support her and defeat Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Still, many pro-Sanders delegates on the floor Monday booed speakers and broke out in chants of "Bernie!"

Thousands of protesters have also rallied against Clinton's nomination here.

#9  Silverman has a mouth which would corrode a roll of pennies.

Must feel well, knowing all their info is now in Hillary!s server and money in her purse.

And that the Greatest Communist Hero is really just Eugene Crab.

#8  And if anybody thinks Trump is vulgar they should get a load of Silverman's so-called comedy.

#7  Bernie said it was rigged. Emails proved it was rigged. Bernie sold out because he was offered a jet and doesn't really believe his own crap.

Silverman and others don't understand why Bernie fans would be upset? They've been sold a bill of goods for decades and now many are realizing what the crazy right wing has been saying all that time is probably right.

I expect a lot of medication to be taken this week in and around the Wells Fargo Center.

#6  Trying to put a happy face on it when Franken is referred to as a comedian.

#5  I don't know if she was acting or not but Silverman actually looked quite rattled when she said that. It was one of the more entertaining moments of the evening. But then while Paul Simon was singing Bridge over Trouble Water the camera focused briefly on Susan (Sarandon) Saranwrap's distressed face and that was entertaining too. She looked like she was about to cry.

#4  OK, I coin the DNC as the party of Nero. They sing and dance pretending everything is well while our nation burns...

#2  Notice how they're oblivious to the part of 'demos' in democracy. Easy to miss in an oligarchy.
