Host seems righteously angry, but I hope he is courteous to the candidates. O'Malley is having to sort of introduce himself.

I think feet should be held to the fire, but I also think candidates should be treated with respect by hosts. O'Malley doing a good job defending himself.

I think it was a poor choice of a host because he is concentrating on race only so far. Not even esp. polite.

I am indeed showing my age.

I find that ranting doesn't get your point very far...and when you do nothing but interrupt
well, that's not very productive.

There are times for chanting...and there are times for protesting...but...

But the one was spot on..."What happened to Martin O'Malley, is why HRC didn't attend."

to plain out tell them if they didn't want him here, he'd leave.

My feed cut-off before the end of Bernie so I have no idea the outcome of his segment - but he certainly handled it initially better than O'Malley. But then Bernie has a long-time activist background and was not intimidated (although plenty frustrated).

I know democracy is messy. But I wonder if we were that rude in the 60's.

He started out angry and belligerent. The whole affair was a mess.

Kudos to both candidates for being gracious.
