When a White female Hillary supporter called Obama an "inadequate Black male" did that "define" her?

[Bonobo]

Apparently we are to believe that a young male who yelled at some people but who cannot even be linked to Sanders is somehow representative of his whole campaign, but this woman was not?

1. Apples and oranges.

There's no comparison because what we're seeing lately is a cynical and rather sinister campaign of disruption being waged by a losing candidate against a clear frontrunner. These are deplorable tactics but they've been around for years at least in California. Harriet Christian on the other hand is simply expressing disappointment, not abusing passersby.

3. Bernie Sanders has said multiple times he's AGAINST disrupting rallies.

He's said it has happened to him and he doesn't want it to happen to others.

4. Hmmm. And what did we see in 2008 from the Hillary campaign?

5. Why are you dismissing Latinos' concerns? Don't you think their opinions/feelings are valid?

One could interpret your comments as bigoted.

8. California doesn't count.

CA made Chavez a state holiday, just because their votes don't "count" doesn't mean they've forgotten the long history of standing up for labor, against neoliberal policies.

10. How about Geraldine Ferraro, official Clinton Surrogate:

“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman of any color, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.”
“Every time that campaign is upset about something, they call it racist,” she said. “I will not be discriminated against because I’m white. If they think they’re going to shut up Geraldine Ferraro with that kind of stuff, they don’t know me.”

Despite calls that Ms. Ferraro step down from the Clinton campaign, where she is a member of the finance committee, there was no indication on Tuesday that she would.

12. And also, its not just an isolated incident.

6. Meh. Her supporters don't even care she's going full-on neoconservative,...

...or that she was a raging homophobe until recently, or that corruption oozes from her pores. Her supporters don't care.

7. I am taking NOTHING at face value. Too many stories of hiring people to facebook, tweet, show

up at Trump rallies posing as Bernie supporters and "correct misstatements online."

9. Maybe not but super predator and bring them to heel sure did.

She marketed this concept and helped create an industry on it. As far as protesters go. A T shirt or button means nothing. We had a mystery man show up at our peace vigils several times. He made a fake bloody outfit one time and then never showed up again. We decided he had to be an infiltrater of some kind. We never had graphic signs and stressed peace, no more war, support the troops. We had kids rolling car windows down and giving us the peace sign. We had mothers of young kids tell us that they had to drive by on Tuesday evenings because the children wanted to see us. We even had a father bring his ten year old who wanted to join us. The guy with the fake blood just didn't fit with the message but it was out of our control. Public sidewalk..legal for us, legal for him.

11. "My own last post in GDP ... You WILL get what you deserve."

Guess you changed your mind about not posting in GDP. And still wearing that old video? Time for a new wardrobe.
