Ahhh, the hypocrisy.........

Everything short of a kitchen sink has been thrown at Hillary and her supporters on this board. This is a pretty mild article about how some of Sanders' supporters have crossed the line on the internet. It's obviously not about every supporter. So, if you're not one of those people, there's no reason to take offense.
