The level of hypocrisy is INCREDIBLE.

So this is an EXAMPLE of the posts I am seeing today: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=post&forum=1251&pid=1916426

All about how these horrible, evil "BernieBros" protested at a Clinton Rally and women and children had to hear them chanting "Bernie".

So, I posted this http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027679017 back in march when protesters shut down Trump's rally.

As you can see many of the comments were that I didn't understand, that this is what people said about Nazi's, blah blah blah.

Now, I have the SAME POSITION as I did back in March. I think it is poor form to protest/disrupt someone else's rally.

Yet somehow, what seemed okay to do to Trump is NOT okay to do to Clinton? Doing it to Trump was stopping Hitler.. doing it to Clinton is "scaring little children".

So which is it? Is okay to protest and/or disrupt someone else's rally?

1. Protestors can make the protestee look better...not worse....

The people protesting the Trump rally were denounced by Democrats and Republicans. The protestors, by their angry, destructive and obnoxious behavior actually made people sympathize with Trump.

The protestors at the HRC rally look like angry, spittle flecked monsters....They are going to help HRC...

Way to go Berners.....

4. It did give her more media coverage.

Which is the same thing it did for Trump way back when.

6. About how those

horrible, evil "BernieBros" protested at a Clinton Rally and women and children had to hear them chanting "Bernie".


They weren't just shouting "Bernie" they were shouting obscenities.
Such refreshing "civil discourse" from Sanders and his supporters.

2. It worked for Trump

It might not help Hillary so not OK in her case.

5. If you can't admit that the chanting was using offensive language,

I doubt its worth trying to discuss with you.

8. Did you read my OP????

I didn't DEFEND the protests.. I hold them to same standards and believe it was in poor form.

However, I find it very funny that many of the same people who cheered on the Trump protests and called me out for saying that shutting down someone's rally was bad are the same people screaming about how horrible it was for Bernie Sanders supporters to protest at Hillary's event.

And sorry, I don't give a damn about what language was used, unless it was direct threats of harm. Getting bent out of shape about naughty words is silly.

7. Politics requires hypocrisy to survive.

You just need to accept it.

10. I don't even understand "protest" at these types of events.

You can protest at the ballot box by not voting.
