The rally was interrupted by around two dozen protesters, one of whom accused the candidate for being responsible for the death of Berta Cáceres, a Honduran activist who was murdered in March. She is widely believed to have been killed by Honduran government forces, whose 2009 coup was supported by Clinton during her tenure as secretary of state.

Protesters interrupt Bill Clinton in queens. Call Hillary "war criminal," say she supports deportations

About two dozen protesters disrupted a campaign speech by ex-President Bill Clinton in Queens on Sunday afternoon, unfurling a banner and chanting accusations against his wife over the death of an environmental activist in Honduras.

The hecklers hid themselves in the first two rows at the New York Hall of Science and leaped to their feet about 90 seconds after Bill began stumping in support of the Democratic front-runner, who’s seeking her hubby’s former White House job.

“Hillary Clinton, you have Berta’s blood on your hands,” they shouted in Spanish in reference to Berta Caceres, who was found shot to death in her home in March.

3. Well he did say he loves protestors

4. if she doesn't like it, she doesn't have to overthrow democracies in order to permanently

install Central America's dominant kingpin and his tagalongs

[jfern]

5. Bill Clinton mentions immigration reform while protesters are protesting

that his wife supporting sending child refugees back to their deaths in Honduras? He totally doesn't get it.

[draa]

6. Regardless of what happens with Bernie more of this is going to be needed.

We have to challenge people who push bad policies no matter who they are or what party they belong to. Enough is enough.

[pacalo]

7. Someone must have advised him to count to 100 before responding.

A lot of jewels of hypocrisy in this speech, so I took some notes & transcribed a part of it:

(1) Forget about those superdelegates that nullify the people's vote:

Bill said, "We gotta have a Supreme Court justice that will expand voters' rights, not contract them."

***

(2) @ 5:43 -- Freudian slip -- Bill said "revolution" & changed it to resolution (he's apparently feeling the Bern) .

***

(3) Bill wants us to think he's Jimmy Carter, using his foundation for altruistic purposes, while he seems to be channeling Captain Queeg defending NAFTA:

"The work that I do with my foundation -- I travel around the world to try to help lift people up -- give someone a way to make a living, give them someone to educate their kids.

"Everywhere in the world people are pursuing a shared prosperity while good things are happening.

***

(4)This is particularly rich:

"Everywhere in the world the people already at the top are too selfish & people are trying to have a monopoly on political power & don't want to sit down & treat each other like decent human beings & work out a fair, equitable coalescent solution. Conflict occurs; good things are not happening."

***

Earth to Bill: This election is about Americans; when you ask for the working class's vote, how about talking about lifting them up; getting rid of the superdelegates tool & protecting our voting rights; breaking up big banks & monopolies that prey on us. Or, perhaps, after giving us NAFTA, maybe you don't even care, so just save it for one of your yuk-it-up sessions with Hillary where you take turns with the "...& then I said..." private jokes.

13. I think Sanders

could pry Bill away from Hillary by offering him the VP position.

[whirlygigspin]

8. no mention of aliens

but at the 5:00 minute mark he says "we can have 'shared' prosperity...if we pursue a strategy that will enable us to live together...and we need somebody who will not interfere with a reasonable revolution" then changes it to resolution at the 5:42 second mark.

[thereismore]

15. Shared prosperity = millions for me, scraps for you. Basically a trickle-down model. nt

[noiretextatique]

9. Excellent...both Clintons need to be held accountable

For their roles on Honduras.

[Betty Karlson]

10. I'm sure Clinton and Bill de Blasio will soon joke about wetback time, or some such "humor".

Absolutely disgusting, these racial divisions the Clinton campaign is happy to perpetuate.

11. Bill's Legacy

For those who don't remember or were too young. Bill removed the UN inspectors from Iraq because they were not finding WMDs or violations of UN sanctions, so he could continue severe sanctions that blocked even medical supplies. This lead up to Bush and Cheney claiming they has WMDs and the Iraq War, that Hillary supported and as SOS stated Iraq is open for business. Quite a few officials have admitted this was blood for oil.

This video tells you all you need to know about establishment politics and the establishment's candidates.

12. Oil for food

As bad as it sounds.

14. If it weren't for protesters and SS, Bill would have no audience. nt
