CLINTON Throws Out BLACK LIVES MATTER Activists During Speech On Race

[Rosa Luxemburg]

Here is a different perspective: police dragging out Black Lives Matter protesters!


While Clinton spoke at a campaign event at Clark Atlanta University, a group of protesters began marching across the floor, singing and clapping. While the protesters were singing, the pro-Hillary crowd attempted to shout them down, chanting, “Hillary! Hillary! Hillary!” The former Secretary of State tried unsuccessfully to silence the protesters, who say she hasn’t been vocal enough in her opposition to police brutality.

[BillZBubb]

1. Good for her! nt

[LiberalArkie]

2. Interesting.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

3. In fact it reminds me of something

[George II]

123. It reminds me of a completely opposite reaction from another candidate....

....the "deer in the headlights" vision of him cowering in the face of a similar incident a couple of months ago.

[daleanime]

215. Yes, we know....

listening is 'now' a weakness. That is until it needs to be something else. Have a lovely evening.

[Hissyspit]

219. Really? That's your spin??

Jeez...

[BeanMusical]

222. +1

[arcane1]

225. BLM are the bad guys now, who must be Stood Up To.

I too have been struggling to keep up.

[Hissyspit]

230. I am in awe of the creativity.

But also really motion-sick.

[arcane1]

233. Well, they did ultimately learn the craft from Murdoch.

Via Brock

[sabrina 1]

336. And Rove, I've noticed a very distinctive odor of Rove in a lot of what we have seen lately.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

340. ikr!...talk about a stretch...just sad.

[sabrina 1]

278. Oh yes it does. The contrast is simply stunning. Thank you Bernie! Class Act. Thanks for

the reminder. I am so proud of my candidate tonght after watching this display of authoritarianism. Hillary's is having a very bad week I'm afraid.

Bernie shines by comparison.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

343. Think the pressure is starting to get to Hillary...she could take lessons from Bernie.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[sabrina 1]

344. Yes, they are very scared. Not so much of Bernie but of how the PEOPLE are reacting to him. They

thought they had it all wrapped up, the Corporatists that the people were properly subdued into simply accepting the way they are running the country.

I doubt in the beginning they thought he would get anywhere, then they saw the crowds, the polls, the excitement, how his message was resonating, and they became terrified.

And started to launch their Rovian smear campaigns, send out the operatives. And still they can't stop him.

So it will get worse and the worse they get the more disgusted the people are.

Do they REALLY think that IF their candidate should win the nomination, they can come to US and ask us to FORGET their nasty lying campaigning against a good and decent human being AND his supporters?

[Scuba]

358. /\_/\_This right here_/\_/\

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

387. They SHOULD be scared. VERY scared. I know SO many Bernie supporters who are sick and tired of the sleazy tactics of Hillary's operatives.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

388. They SHOULD be scared...VERY scared. I know SO many Bernie supporters who are sick and tired of the sleazy tactics of Hillary's operatives.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[LiberalArkie]

399. Since it was pointed out to me that we are like bees to the keeper of the hive.

I think the beekeeper might be getting worried that the bees are going to turn on the keeper. And the keeper might not get the proceeds from the bees anymore.

[sabrina 1]

402. Exactly! The worker bees are in revolt!

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

413. Like I have said before.

Now is the time for a real progressive populist movement, but the message needs to be clear and not overly complex and it needs to be repeated over and over to drive it home into the minds of the people.

Then Bernie will win.

[okasha]

427. Translation:

Voters are stupid.

It is our sacred duty to brainwash them.

[George II]

373. Bad week indeed - up to 56% in the national poll, up 30-40 in manyh state polls, dozens of Mayoral..

....endorsements (including from Sanders' own home town), endorsements now from 36 of 42 Democratic Senators, Benghazi behind her, etc.

With "bad" weeks like that, just what would a GOOD week be?

[George II]

415. Would you like to see REAL photographs showing the "contrast"? I'm asking this in advance...

...of posting them in order to avoid the inevitable alert and possible hide if I post them entirely on my own.

[840high]

308. Sure - lol

[notadmblnd]

378. Which republican candidate was that?

nt

[George II]

379. You know which candidate it was, and you're the one calling him a republican.

[notadmblnd]

383. I'm not aware of any Presidential candidate cowering in the presence of BLM

I know there is no one running on the Democratic side who has coward in their presence. Can you cite me any examples?

[seltzerwater]

380. WOW, ...and that is exactly

Why i changed my party so i can vote for Bernie in our democratic primary.

[Duckfan]

411. Exactly. I want to prove George Carlin wrong that the "Big Club" is here to stay.

Elect Bernie and that Big Club will be closed. End of story.

[MrMickeysMom]

382. I think you have "deer in the headlights" confused....

... You must be confusing the ability to listen with that of the ability to have your staff step in, usher out, then spin.

Man, it's like a laundromat on a Saturday morning, there is so much spin from the HRC "handlers". They have the Reuters, AP and other news outlets prepared to dry, fold and tuck it up our asses every time another event shows who is listening to the American people.

[a2liberal]

401. Do you happen to remember an incident before the one you're attempting to reference? (nt)

[lewebley3]

398. Hillary is not a weakling like Sanders, Hillary won't take being bullied by Black Matters

[cui bono]

419. Let the record show that this is an actual Hillary supporter having said that.

It is not sarcasm from a Bernie supporter.

lewebley3
398. Hillary is not a weakling like Sanders, Hillary won't take being bullied by Black Matters

[rhett o rick]

422. I think integrity is a more important quality than toughness that is popular with

conservatives. But where was her integrity when Bush/Cheney "talked" her into helping selling the Iraq War. She showed those Iraqi's that she was tough.

[lewebley3]

435. Hillary has integrity and toughness, that is why she is so respected

Toughness is poplar with most Americans: Hillary vote was on the use of force,
Bush and Cheney chose war. Bill Clinton had the same power and decided against war.

[rhett o rick]

436. She knew what Cheney would do when she advocated for and voted for the authorization.

She is highly respected by the neocons.

http://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/277-75/24541-focus-why-neocons-love-hillary

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/11/hillary-clinton-neoconservative_n_5578062.html

I agree that lots of Americans put a high value on toughness. Certainly all Republicons.

[lewebley3]

439. Hillary had no association with Cheney: Far from it: Hillary is an was adversary

[rhett o rick]

440. She gave him the authority to kill Iraqis for oil. She knew who was running things

and knew full well that they would invade. She didn't admit to the "mistake" until many years later when everyone knew it had been a mistake. The neocons are drawn to her for a reason.

[lewebley3]

441. Bush is responsible for the Killing Iraqis: He said so!: It was his choice

[rhett o rick]

442. It appears that rationalization is the key to happiness. nm

[lewebley3]

443. Just fact: Bush was commander and Chief: Sanders vote meant nothing

[rhett o rick]

444. This is a very important issue. It speaks to integrity. Regardless if the votes counted,

Sen Sanders made it clear that he opposed the war and HRC made it clear that she, not only supported Bush's actions, she helped try to convince others. She showed her true colors. The worst political decision in a century and she was on the wrong side. Why not vote for the person that was correct?

[lewebley3]

445. Sanders would never vote for war: HRC voted for the use of force

There was not war vote: If that had been a choice the vote
would have been lost. Bill Clinton had the support of congress
with the use of force, he chose not to attack Iraqi.

So we already know where HRC stands, she is very careful
like Bill when it comes to war, but she is no coward.

Also, the Clinton's ran a much more competent administration, not
one American die in Kosvo, and the people have named
streets after Clinton's because of the military campaign
that the Clinton's okay ed.

For me and many American Hillary is just the right balance
when comes national security, and national Defense.

Sander just doesn't have what it takes!

[Fred Sanders]

4. Videos show no such thing. Article mentions nothing about "dragging" and none shown.....so.....

Clinton is a strong woman to be able to "throw out" so many people all by herself!

Handled well, and I applaud the protestors for keeping black issues at the forefront as I did when the same occurred at a Sanders event, and others.....liberals welcome activism for a good cause.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

5. well

looks like it

[George II]

147. Yes, to someone who WANTS it to look that way, but that isn't the way it was.

Have a great evening!



LET'S GO METS!!!

[Laser102]

395. What I saw and heard was the audience chanting let her talk. The protesters were escorted,

Not dragged from the room. I think it was handled very well.

[George II]

414. Can you post the video or the picture that "looks like it"?

[Luminous Animal]

8. The op says nothing about dragging.

But the protesters, themselves, say they were physically pushed out.

[Fred Sanders]

9. I saw the same video, they were escorted out with no violence...semantics again.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

16. violence?

the fact they were removed is ridiculous since she is the one who is speaking about race. I just can't believe this happened. You seem to be condoning removing black people from an event?

[Fred Sanders]

26. Now you are reaching for some bait. My work here is done.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

31. Really?

[Sheepshank]

207. Yes really

Another embarassing over reach and manufactured tale of the evil doing, monster named Clinton


you anti Hillary people are over doing it today

[BootinUp]

217. Only today?

[sheshe2]

280. Yikes????!!!!!! Lol~

Hey~

[MrMickeysMom]

48. Sounded like a question to me, Fred...

Sorry if you don't like to be challenged for what you say here.

[arcane1]

59. You complain about semantics yet pretend they used the word "violence"?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

78. Obviously you are not serious

this is a very important matter.

[arcane1]

84. In fairness, that poster can be difficult to take seriously.

[frylock]

92. This event today is utterly destroying so many bullcrap talking points..

what a buzzkill after such a glorious week.

[frylock]

90. Yes, semantics, Like Sanders telling Hillary to stop shouting.

Semantics.

[global1]

154. Hillary Is Anti-Semantics....nt

[JonLeibowitz]

334. She is backed by Emily's List which is known for

backing at least one anti-semitic candidate. Who knows?



http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2008/02/reactionary-democrats-using-anti.html

[global1]

356. It's A Joke Man - Semantics..... nt

[JonLeibowitz]

357. I know. I couldn't resist bring that up. 'night n/t

[HubertHeaver]

361. You need to build up your ability to resist.

[cui bono]

423. Why are you adding "no violence"?

[okasha]

426. Because there wasn't any.

Sorry if that disturbs your preferred narrative.

[cui bono]

430. You don't know that is why that poster brought it up. Are you psychic? A sock?

As to the rest, what is your problem? Take a bong hit, have a shot of tequila or a glass of wine and put on some relaxing music. You'll feel better.

[okasha]

431. Indeed, I don't pretend to read anyone's mind.

But it does seem a reasonable conclusion, given that there was no violence.

I remember asking you about your own claims to psychic divination, since you say you know what is said in the private areas of HillarySupporters. Do you have an answer yet?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

12. so?

the fact that they were removed is disgraceful

[Fred Sanders]

14. Well, they would have been offered front row seats but they were taken.

And it appears they were more accepted for their song than rejected.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

32. OMG

[arcane1]

88. Nothing says "acceptance" like chanting "Let her talk" and then cheering when they're removed.

[frylock]

94. I think I need a shot of Victory Gin.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

218. And I'll have a double karma neat, water back.

The schadenfreude tastes sweet as honey.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

112. Clinton supporters cheering as Black Lives Matter are removed

says it all

[Fairgo]

135. It's a celebration of diversity in opinions...

...by invitation only.

[sheshe2]

313. Clinton Supporters

Cheering The MESSAGE OF BLM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BLM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eridani]

362. And cheering when they were removed.

Say, how's that death penalty advocacy working for the 42% of people on death row who are black?

[frylock]

97. They would have?

Why didn't Hillary just ask the police to leave them alone?

[in_cog_ni_to]

106. Shhhhh....don't confuse him!

[frylock]

114. I can't even wrap my mind around that claim.

There is nothing Hillary could do that they wouldn't rationalize away.

[George II]

145. The videos show otherwise.

[Historic NY]

10. They have to dramatize it.....

too bad they forgot to mention that Congressman Lewis was in the mix along with the mayor and college staff. They were escorted out hold their arms . They made their point but the student audience rejected the intrusion.

[Fred Sanders]

30. Two sides to every story......but one side does not want to hear any but one side and one song.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

41. Blatantly obvious that they weren't wanted

[A Simple Game]

385. Fred that's big of you to admit one of your biggest your flaws. n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

36. Well isn't that interesting

They should have been invited on stage to answer questions to the audience

[frylock]

102. Well, Having Congressman Lewis in the mix while they were escorted out must've lent some comfort.

[George II]

126. It's amazing the fiction you find on the "internets", isn't it? Sadly the OP didn't see the videos..

...of what happened. Might have helped, huh?

[arcane1]

136. Sadly, you didn't post these alleged videos. Why not?

[virtualobserver]

186. I saw the video as they were escorted out with a man yelling "you're ignorant","you're ignorant"

https://twitter.com/AUCShutItDown/status/660178339961954304

Is that the video, that sadly, the OP didn't see?

[arcane1]

196. "Clinton enthusiest calls BLM "ignorant" will not appear as an OP in the HRC group.

Even though it's related news to her campaign.

If I didn't know better, I'd think pandering for votes no longer works!

[sabrina 1]

6. Now we are seeing the hypoicrisy so clearly. I'm enjoying watching it here actually.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

7. If this had been a Bernie event it would have been headlines

I think it is disgusting that BLM were removed by police.

[sabrina 1]

11. It was disgusting. But that's what I meant, the hypocrisy here is simply stunning! Those activists

are being SLAMMED here on the same forum where we were told that to slam activists was 'racist'. I love it! I knew it, but I love seeing it EXPOSED!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. It should be exposed

Clinton is supposed to be the Queen. Well she just showed how she is going to lose the confidence of African Americans.

[sabrina 1]

19. Oh it is. They are doing it themselves. Sadly though, they continue to turn a very serious issue

into a political football.

But yes, exposing hypocrisy is always a good thing.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

28. However

I guess I see it differently. BLM should have been invited to speak and the image of police escorting them out is not in her interests.

[sabrina 1]

35. Well, she had an opportunity to invite them to accompany her on the stage. Instead they were thrown

out. THAT is what actually happened.

The same people applauding this were so very upset that Bernie actually DID allow them to speak. I cannot think of anything I've seen lately that spells 'hypocrisy' more than this.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

58. Yes for someone who boasts of this

it is more than hypocrisy Black people have been supporting her but it does put people off if Black Lives Matter are carted out. It doesn't look good. I don't think people realize the enormity of Hillary's problem here.

[sabrina 1]

75. Hillary can do no wrong to a few people here. But they speak for no one though they appear to

believe they do. One thing this has done is to give people ammunition when they attempt to drag up the NRN protests. I know what I will be doing in response to any attempt to continue to mischaracterize that event. I normally wouldn't engage in their games. But I have come to realize that all these slimy smear campaigns funded by Corporate money MUST be exposed.

When we don't fight them, see the Swift Boat debacle, they gain momentum. They are destroying our political process because their purpose has always been to destroy some of our best candidates.

It's time to take a strong stand against them now, and I see that is happening everywhere thankfully, exposing them for what they are, certainly not any real interest in the topic itself, because we know that is not the case, and this incident has Proven it beyond a doubt.

I don't intend to let them forget that. We can't.

[Moonwalk]

418. And Hilary can do no right to almost everyone else here.

Every day I come to DU, I say, "Hm, wonder what Clinton-bashing/Bernie-worshiping threads I'll see today..."

It's always funny to me to see something like this from a Bernie supporter. National polls aside, On DU, Bernie supporters are in the majority and Hilary supporters in the minority, and most of the Bernie supporters think Bernie walks on water and Hilary is the devil. Meanwhile, most Hilary supporters say things like "I like Bernie, but there are certain things I want in a president I don't think he has, so..." Pretty fair minded, and not at all viewing their candidate as flawless and walking on water.

Which is all to say, I have no idea how a Bernie supporter can say something like "to some people Hilary can do no wrong..." Yes, it's a true statement, but it's a wee-bit of calling the kettle black. Look in the mirror and say those words with "Bernie" instead of Hillary. Are you really sure that Hilary supporters are the ones who are sure their candidate can do no wrong?"

[arcane1]

67. She even pulled the "If you would let me talk..." business, and was praised here for it.

Bernie lets them speak and he's a coward.

Hillary demands she be allowed to speak, and she's a hero.

It's almost as if this never had anything to do with BLM's cause at all.

No, that can't be it.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

100. You can feel the fakeness

[frylock]

119. Only because it never had anything to do with BLM's cause at all.

It's patently evident that some people here only care about specific issues because they feel it will help her to get elected. BLM is here to help Hillary's cause, not the other way around.

[bbgrunt]

142. BLM is being used by the Clinton campaign to solidify

her credentials with other sectors of the population. It's just like Sister Soulja. And the Clinton acolytes here facilitate that hypocrisy. I can't say I am surprised. I expected it.

And I don't expect to hear a peep about all her supporters who were shouting them down.

[sabrina 1]

341. Well, it never did have anything to do with BLM's cause at all. I don't think there ever was any

doubt about that. I knew that because I never saw any of the 'concerned' in any of the Ferguson threads from over a year ago. In fact try as we did we could not get enough interest in those so important protests that people just gave up posting about it here though the protests continued and we had to follow them and support them elsewhere.

I never had a doubt about it. Nor will we ever hear about BLM's cause once the election is over from those same very 'concerned' posters. I am willing to bet on it. Actually I have checked regularly to see if there was any interest at all in the actual ongoing movement which the media no longer covers here, but have nothing, so I continue to go elsewhere to support and follow the activities of the courageous people who are out there still trying to get attention for the ongoing murders by police of minorities in this country.

[pocoloco]

170. They got Profiled!!

LOL

[Agschmid]

18. Who is slamming them?

If someone who supports Hillary is "slamming" them send me a PM I'll call them out on it.

[Fred Sanders]

34. Unbelievable, isn't it?

[Agschmid]

330. Yup... hours later and crickets.

[BeanMusical]

349. Maybe she's too busy replying to meaningful posts?

[Catherina]

29. According to tweets I followed, most of them didn't even make it in.

Well haha, this isn't going away any time soon. She totally alienated them and John Lewis didn't do himself any favors.


https://twitter.com/danmericaCNN/status/660199443929526272

The protesters understood exactly what was going on.

[wendylaroux]

44. man he looks pissed!

was this from today? who is he mad at?

[Catherina]

173. Yes, from today. Mad at the protesters for daring to interrupt

Hillary used him to dazzle and pacify them, it didn't work.
And other Black leaders were just as appalling, yelling at them that they were "ignorant". It did not go unnoticed. There's a short video at the link

There were also a bunch of people in the audience taking videos of the police dragging out the protesters. Those will be all over the internet tomorrow!

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

234. Wow, watch the film at the link! That's gonna leave a mark!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

60. John Lewis in what century do you propose that Black lives matter?

I can't believe this

[Motley Crue]

74. That's why John Lewis sold out.

as did S. Brown

[Catherina]

180. That's precisely what the protesters are asking. They've very disappointed in him

377. The one I found even more jawdropping

@_afrodiziak 16h 16 hours ago

The secret service forcibly escorted us out of the arena to cries of "ignorance!" and "nigger!" #Hillary4Who #AUCShutItDown

[dorkzilla]

99. I really can't wrap my head around him saying this...nt

[Catherina]

289. You're not the only one

...

Rep. John Lewis, a civil rights icon who had introduced Clinton just minutes before, personally tried to break up the protests, putting his hands on the shoulders of the protesters and speaking with them.

...

"Unfortunately, rhetoric DOES NOT save us, nor does it give confidence to black voters that we can trust Hillary to prioritize the necessity of ensuring our safety," the group said. "We've been waiting for weeks to see the platform that addresses these issues from Hillary Clinton's campaign. We will wait no more."

...

After walking off stage, Clinton was met by LaDavia Drane, her director of African-American outreach.

"It's always an adventure," Clinton proclaimed.

Speaking to CNN after the event, Lewis said he believes the protesters "represent another time, another period."

"It is unfortunate that they didn't listen to the secretary," he added.

http://edition.cnn.com/2015/10/30/politics/hillary-clinton-black-lives-matter/index.html

Lots of video clips in this link: Rep. John Lewis, Singer Usher and Others Attempt to Push Out Protesters Who Interrupted Hillary Clinton Atlanta Rally

and a tame take from buzzfeed

...

After acknowledging the protesters (“Yes they do,” Clinton replied), the Democratic presidential candidate attempted to move on with her speech, increasing her volume as the chants continued.

The Georgia congressman, who led non-violent protests during the fight to end segregation in the 1960s, went into the audience to intervene, trying to get the protesters to allow Clinton to speak.

“I just said to them that at some other time we could all sit down and talk,” Lewis said in an interview with BuzzFeed News after the event. “Just that we shouldn’t disturb the speech when she was trying to get a message [across].”

When that failed, he and Kasim Reed, the mayor of Atlanta, joined Clinton on stage in a show of solidarity. “We thought that would help move things [along],” Lewis said.

The students who participated in the demonstration were eventually shouted down by a throng of students who came to hear Clinton, shouting “Hil-lar-y!” and “Let her talk!”

23. And the hypocrisy in certain people declaring BLM "suspect" and peddling conspiracy theories

and all of a sudden changing their tune once BLM started going after Clinton.

Again, fooling absolutely no one.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

64. Just shows how fake Hillary's campaign is

[Thinkingabout]

323. Shows how fake this post is, is this the best?

[emulatorloo]

429. I think you missed NuclearDem's point.

Do you remember any of recent these threads? See how BLM was virulently trashed and declared suspect?

Who was trashing BLM and recommending these threads? Arent many of the same people now praising BLM today?

BLM Outliers want to wage war on whiteliberals.

[frylock]

104. It is a sight to behold.

[Fairgo]

131. it has a slightly sour odor

like the curdled milk of human kindness...

[sabrina 1]

335. That's a very descriptive, accurate way of putting it. Stinks to high heaven also comes to mind.

[Chathamization]

257. Why I tell people to see what BLM leaders are saying and not listen to the people here who pretend

to speak for them. A lot of the BLM leaders are active on Twitter, for example, and are worth following. If you follow them, it becomes clear very quickly that many of the people who like to speak for the movement here don't really know much about it at all (and seem to have little interest in what the movement is actually doing and the discussions it's having).

Always go directly to the source and try to avoid the disinformation that gets spread everywhere.

[L0oniX]

409. +1

[pa28]

15. Imagine the towering outrage on DU if Bernie supporters had chanted over BLM.

And Bernie had them thrown out on their tails.

What a bunch of hypocrites the supposed BLM supporters on DU are.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

20. Well exactly that video would have been relayed all over the New York Times, CNN etc

that video would have been all over the

[JonLeibowitz]

337. Interesting to note that the NYT still has no story on the event n/t

[enough]

17. That powerful anthem, Hell you talmbout, is such a beautiful invitation to anyone on the podium

to say: HERE's WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, here's what I think we should be doing to change this terrible situation. I fear none of the candidates even know what they're hearing when they people come into the space with that song.

That said, there seems to have been some tacit agreement about this event. They were not dragged out, they seemed to have agreed to go.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

25. Even so

the image of them being escorted out if you want to put it mildly is symbolic.

[enough]

52. Absolutely. (nt)

[99th_Monkey]

37. They "agreed" to go?

When they were ordered to leave, by Police with badges & guns, yes .. they 'agreed' to go.

[enough]

51. As opposed to deliberately entering into a physical confrontation.

There are a lot of different ways to perform protest. To me it looked as if the protesters knew what they were doing and did what they intended.

[99th_Monkey]

63. I'm proud of my candidate -- Bernie Sanders -- who simply gave BLM his mic and let them speak

Rather than signaling police to eject BLM protesters, when they confronted him, on both occasions.

[Ed Suspicious]

351. And then after thoughtful consideration made the cause a major plank in his campaign.

I don't know who represents BLM best, but I do know that my candidate listened, considered, adapted, and amplified the BLM message. He did it during the debates when without equivocation he proclaimed black lives matter. He does it in every speech that I've seen since.

[99th_Monkey]

353. Yes indeed. All that too, and "without equivocation". Well stated Mr. Suspicious. -nt-

[Rosa Luxemburg]

65. so

it would be nice if they were invited and not hauled off

[Rosa Luxemburg]

62. I'm sure that Freddie Gray agreed to go

[Doctor_J]

21. I'll wait to hear how this was much better than how Sanders handled it

Under the bus with BLM!!!

[frylock]

132. Here you go..

You may be shocked at who the author is, or probably not.

Hillary Handled the Interruption by BLM VERY WELL!!!!

[Doctor_J]

161. unbelievable. But not.

One of a tiny handful of posters on my ignore list. Imagine if Sanders had had the attacker hauled away. "THIS IS WHY BLACK PEOPLE WILL NEVER VOTE FOR BERNIE!!! OMG RACIST!!!"

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

384. Quite the flip flop.

From declared Sanders supporter to supposed O'Malley supporter, to blatant Hillary supporter. All the while proclaiming how much Hillary does with and for black people, and how awful Sanders supporters are.

BLM protesters get shouted down, silenced, condescended to by John Lewis, chivvied out by Secret Service while the crowd shouts nastiness at them, and it's somehow Hillary doing them proud?

@_afrodiziak 16h 16 hours ago

The secret service forcibly escorted us out of the arena to cries of "ignorance!" and "nigger!" #Hillary4Who #AUCShutItDown

That is some grade A fantasy spin in that OP.

[frylock]

393. Fucking phonies gonna fucking phony.

[bunnies]

410. Wait. What?

What the fuck?!

[BootinUp]

22. This thread stinks. nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

40. I knew you wouldn't like it

but Black Lives do matter

[BootinUp]

43. The reports on the event are still in flux. Lets wait and see.

In the meantime you might check out how strong Hillary's support is in the Black community.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

66. People will see though her

how she is using

[frylock]

148. It's all about the polls, amirite?

[BootinUp]

153. Sometimes the polls actually tell us

what people think.

[frylock]

159. And sometimes events like this help shed light on how issues are only important..

to some people inasmuch as it helps to get their candidate elected.

[BootinUp]

168. Let me express my true thoughts on this event

I will bow down and kiss your feet if the demonstrators come out and say Hillary mistreated them.

[frylock]

237. Proving my point.

Issues are only important in how they effect Hillary.

[BootinUp]

240. Chrisakes, what is this fucking thread about

why are you in it?

[frylock]

255. The fuck you think it's about?

It's about the hypocrisy of Clinton supporters who were upset by Sanders interactions with BLM. It's about shedding light on how they are using the issues to bolster her candidacy, rather than actually giving a shit about the issues themselves.

[BootinUp]

269. No. I think its about a bunch of internet warriors

attempting to spin a story against Hillary Clinton in the hopes that Bernie will look better.

[frylock]

273. Right, unlike the events at NRN and Seattle..

that was legitimate outrage. Yessir.

[BeanMusical]

333. What's your Internet Warrior™ ID and rank?

Internet Warrior™ ID and rank, please?

[polly7]

328. +1,000,000 nt.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

386. I'll believe the tweets from the actual protesters, thanks, not the reports from reporters who

have corporate biases thanks to their paychecks.

[BootinUp]

390. Confused because it made no sense for you to direct that at me.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

391. Makes sense to me. You said 'let's wait and see' and suggested we wait for more media reports.

The protesters who were actually THERE, and doing the protest have already tweeted out what happened to them. There's no need to 'wait and see' what spin corporate-owned media will put on the events when you can already read the raw, unfiltered descriptions (and watch videos) captured by the protesters themselves. They were not impressed with 'black leaders' such as Lewis, they were not happy about SS agents who threatened to 'body slam' them as they were 'respectfully' escorted out, and not thrilled with being told this wasn't the time or place for their protest, and that they were shouted down by the crowd, who called out things like 'ignorant' and 'nigger' at them. (And I'm wondering how they got away with that last one in that crowd. I can only assume it was a black person shouting it.)

[BootinUp]

394. I actually meant we should hear what the protesters had to say

and I posted those exact words elsewhere last night. You are projecting some other nonsense on me that I never said, so typical in this forum. Thanks.

[Marty McGraw]

403. The Moniker

'Camp Slytherin' that was brought up the other day is so screamingly apt when looking at this thread, isn't it? Oh the wriggling and squirming...

[Uncle Joe]

24. There were probably expecting something like this, there was a nice little fence around Hillary.

Thanks for the thread, Rosa Luxemburg.

[rhett o rick]

376. The obvious hypocracy won't even register. Clinton is tough and that's the most important

feature. Conservatives love their tough leaders that will take care of them. They won't ever argue her stands because they aren't really sure what her stand is today and it's really not as important as their authoritarian following.

[RandySF]

27. Are you sure it wasn't the Secret Service?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

42. Did you really say that?

were they terrorists?

[RandySF]

47. No, let me clarify

Are you sure Secret Service didn't escort BLM out? I've interacted with SS. They don't mess around.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

86. seriously

so now you are saying BLM are dangerous?

[pnwmom]

110. RandySF said nothing of the kind. The Secret Service is charged with keeping

ANYONE who isn't authorized a certain distance away from Hillary Clinton.

You sure have a way of twisting things.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

165. What?

What a leap! Ever seen how fast President Obama's hecklers get escorted out? Even if they are one person and nowhere near the President?

[NorthCarolina]

105. Yureka!

Our focus group has come up with the best excuse possible... Whew, dodged a bullet there.

[in_cog_ni_to]

33. Excellent Zaid Jilani Tweet

On John Lewis and Andrew Young standing with a woman who supports the DEATH PENALTY.

Zaid Jilani– ‏ @ZaidJilani


Black elites side with a candidate who supports executing unarmed people over young people protesting. Same old story

[Fred Sanders]

38. Nonsense...but this thread has been illuminating. Lewis is a "black elite"? Thanks for the laugh!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

46. I'm sure

I'm sure people in Baltimore love to hear the illuminating bit

[in_cog_ni_to]

55. Read it for yourself...link scroll down for the tweets. THAT'S what's illuminating!

195. No surprise

Lewis.Young. Usher. HRC. Money talks. Poor people walk.

[Fred Sanders]

374. Where have we heard words about Lewis like that before? Spoken like a true Republican.

[wendylaroux]

39. Shame on them

this is unbelievable!!!!

[kelliekat44]

45. No such thing...this is not true and if you can watch the video of the speech. nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

50. ?

Yes so why weren't they allowed to be part of the event? I hate it when people are carted out. It just shows how fake Hillary is regarding Black issues.

[in_cog_ni_to]

49. Bookmarked!

To save all the hypocritical posts or lack of ANY response by the Oh so outraged at Bernie's treatment of BLM. BERNIE never had ANYONE removed from NRN or Seattle, but still received a bunch of hate spewed his way.

Thanks for posting this, Rosa!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[Rosa Luxemburg]

53. I hope that people will see though Hillary's fakeness on Black issues

[in_cog_ni_to]

56. Me too.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

68. I hate it when politician use people

how could Hillary Clinton the darling of Wall Street and Forbes magazine even understand.

[in_cog_ni_to]

73. Exactly.

All she's been doing is pandering for votes. I don't believe anything she says. She evolves too much to be authentic.

[dorkzilla]

113. There are none so blind as who will not see...

Nothing will change their minds.

[frylock]

251. People who aren't on DU see through it.

[840high]

314. I hope so, too.

[Truprogressive85]

54. Shame

Today I was dragged out of @HillaryClinton rally by Blck Police in frnt of Blck "Leaders," people clapped & no one intervened. #Hillary4Who

[napi21]

57. Not true. I just saw the videos on MSNBC and Hillary let them speak, joined them

in their BLM opinion, and the protesters left the event on their own, apparently satisfied.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

70. Nice try

but the image of them being escorted out! I don't think you get it.

[Fred Sanders]

71. But, but it is about the "image"!?.....?....?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

76. Of course

I know that you are trying to defend Hillary's campaign but this is a true misstep.

[Motley Crue]

79. You saw what M$M wants you to see.

Nice to know you trust M$M's word over the actual protesters.

[arcane1]

82. There's VIDEO at the OP's link of them being escorted out while the crowd cheers

Jeez!

[frylock]

261. Nevermind tweets from the protesters stating otherwise.

The denial throughout this thread is truly astounding.

[JoeOtterbein]

61. So the way to show your support for BLM...

...is to throw them out? Sounds like she thinks they DON'T matter!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

72. It certainly gives the wrong message to Black people

the whole image of them being escorted by police just has set something off

[ronnykmarshall]

77. Did you see the part when she kicked them?

Neither did I.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

80. You are doing Hillary no favors

[sheshe2]

87. You are doing Bernie no favors.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

91. At least

he let BLM speak

[sheshe2]

115. You Op is not truthful, yet you know that.

Did anyone post your jury results? Sadly you won.

[BeanMusical]

220. So you alerted on this?

[sheshe2]

249. No. I was on JURY!!!!!!

[BeanMusical]

258. Thank you!

I posted this to see if you had put me on ignore, knowing that you couldn't resist replying if it wasn't the case. Now I will be able to sleep again and stop crying on my pillow!

[BeanMusical]

272. You're so mean!!!

[sheshe2]

283. And

Wasn't that Hillary's slogan back in 2008?

I think that I know who alerted. We had a little disagreement on another thread at the time it was alerted on. Well that poster was claiming that they didn't alert on the OP of the thread we were in. Which I doubt.

Thanks bmus!

[arcane1]

228. Which parts are not true?

[sheshe2]

268. This part~

http://www.democraticunderground.com/110724425

[arcane1]

299. From the poster who called Hillary "Morally corrupt"?

"rofl:

[sheshe2]

303. Throw the baby out with the bath water.

You can't stand the facts.

Sad!

[BeanMusical]

310. "You can't stand the facts."

Heeere's Johnny!

[sheshe2]

326. Well Bean....

you are just all over this place answering for everyone.

I find that so cute, you are tonight's spokesperson.

Lol~

Here's Johnny

You can't stand the truth

[BeanMusical]

329. I like it when you call me Bean.

It makes me feel like we are close friends.

[ronnykmarshall]

95. Thanks for your concern

[Rosa Luxemburg]

103. you're welcome

[sheshe2]

85. Nor did I ronny!

[BootinUp]

89. Wait a minute!!!

Ok, I double checked you were right.

[ronnykmarshall]

98. There was also a steam roller!!!

I seen it!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

108. I'm sure that Black Lives Matter will be mortified when they hear that

[ronnykmarshall]

137. Oh ok.

[arcane1]

96. You're going to pretend people are claiming she literally "kicked" them?

That's fucking sad

[Unknown Beatle]

150. Really?

Kick them out does not mean she kicked them.

By remaining silent when they were escorted out means she condoned the actions of the police, which basically means, since it was her event, that she kicked them out by having someone else do it for her.

[Vattel]

298. Lol, now that is funny. You interpret the OP as saying that

they were literally kicked. Brilliant.

[Scootaloo]

81. I suppose all the tweets from people who were there are just "third way brogressive" lies?

Huh.

[delrem]

305. post #121, jury results

Juror #7 explains it.
(typed out since I couldn't copy/paste)
"Voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Well maybe we should look at what a member of AA has to say about it. And stop with the White 'splaining and listen to them! Star Member bravenak
"Hillary Handled the Interruption from BLM VERY WELL!!!!
I think that out of all the candidates Hillary had the best response in real time to Black Lives Matter.....Hillary made us proud today!" FYI, they were not thrown out, they were escorted after Hillary let them speak.
Stop making stuff up, it is not helping Bernie at all when you make shit up.
Hide it!"

so, ... there.

[Scootaloo]

347. So there, what?

I watched the video. They were "escorted out" the same way I've been "escorted out" of sit-in protests. Grabbed and dragged.

[delrem]

354. So, the vote was to hide the OP.

I don't know what to make of this Dem primary, or of DU. I've been called "racist" to my face and accused of vicious race hatred (directly in a PM), for NO other reason than that I tend to support Sanders (I also tend to support O'Malley, though have to admit that I know too little of both Sanders and O'Malley, and I'm too far removed).
Perhaps there's truth in the accusations - I'm no saint and my history isn't some glowing example for all w.r.t. any social issue. I learn slowly, very slowly.
Yet even tho' I'm self-critical enough, on some days, to hammer myself for not being aware enough, not caring enough, not doing enough, I don't like to join in when I think someone else is slandering me unfairly.

And slandering the left/progressive political movement. I'm cursed with a memory, so I can remember various OPs which target ALL "Sanders supporters", all "white progressives", etc., for some things shouted by anonymous people at public rallies (not even Sanders' rallies), or some "tweets" by some idiots - tho' I try to keep those memories squelched. OPs and posts generating "hides" which in turn generated a sense of martyrdom - even tho' here, for little reason, was a vote to "hide".

Oh fuck it. Whatever - I know that I tend to be reactionary and I can see how the tit-for-tat throwing out of wild generalized accusations against "candidates" and/or "supporters" is out of hand, and I guess I'm part of it - and I'm tired of it.

I guess I should just stfu and leave DU. Since the place no longer makes sense to me.

[JRLeft]

83. Martin O'Malley looks better everyday, I'm still with Bernie, but O'Malley

has least worked with black people daily.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

93. as the Mayor of Baltimore and Gov.

[jfern]

101. And she's blocking there from being a BLM debate

Bernie and O'Malley called for more debates, but DWS said no to a BLM debate because Hillary doesn't want more debates.

[Agschmid]

116. For like the third time tonight...

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/252845-clinton-open-to-more-debates

[jfern]

117. Unlike the other campaigns she never called for more debates

If Hillary actually wanted more debates, there would be more debates.

In 2008 after 18 debates, she asked for and got another 8.

But she doesn't want more debates now, so there won't be more debates.

[Agschmid]

118. Only on DU...

"I'm open to more debates" = I do not want to debate

[jfern]

124. It's the good cop bad cop routine

Come on, if she actually wanted more debates, she'd get them. DWS wouldn't block there from being more debates if every candidate wanted them. Only on DU does DWS just want there not be more debates regardless of what the all candidates, in particular the one she supports, actually want.

[StrongBad]

107. Good. Hillary can defend a podium unlike others.

[jfern]

109. The 2 events where Bernie was protested weren't his event, so he wasn't in control there.

One was Netroots, the other was a Social Security event.

[SoapBox]

127. Absolutely correct.

Your point is always misstated...those two events were not Bernie events.

[George II]

120. How can something SO FALSE be posted here as "fact"?

First, they were NOT thrown out at all, so obviously its not true that "Clinton throws out" BLM activists.

Second, she was not "unsuccessful" in silencing the protestors.

There's more than one video of the incident available, why don't people actually find out what happened before they go on with a totally incorrect assessment?

It is just so frustrating to see this fiction being posted as "fact".

[Rosa Luxemburg]

125. Here we go

it is a misstep for Hillary's campaign

[George II]

139. Nope, it isn't a misstep for the Clinton campaign - it was handled perfectly, exactly the way...

....the Sanders campaign should have handled a similar situation a couple of months ago.

He lost that day, she won today.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

179. the police escorted BLM out and Hillary didn't ask them to come back

how is that supportive of Black issues?

[George II]

185. Now you're changing the subject....Clinton handled the situation perfectly and some are....

....trying to make an issue out of it because their candidate failed miserably during a similar incident a couple of months ago.

It doesn't change reality.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

198. handled?

If I were Hillary I would have stopped the police escorting BLM out and invited them to stay. Her message was - don't interrupt my speech.

[TheKentuckian]

309. Perfect is weirdly bobbing the head behind a barricade while the cops throw them out?

Please.

[arcane1]

130. Then post a link to this video that disproves the videos posted in the OP's link.

It's not that hard to do.

[George II]

152. Sorry, the OP says "CLINTON Throws Out BLACK LIVES MATTER Activists"....

....I think it's the other way around, the OP should post a link to a video that PROVES the false assertion.

That's the way if works in the real world.

Bottom line, it did NOT happen. Period.

[in_cog_ni_to]

134. Plain as the nose on your face - the police are removing BLM protesters from Hillary's speech venue.

What? You think the police did that without Hillary's permission? If she wanted them to stay, they would have stayed. She didn't want them to stay, so she had them remove BY THE POLICE. It's all on the video. All you have to do is watch it.

[George II]

143. I saw the video, actually TWO videos....neither showed what you're saying.

[in_cog_ni_to]

151. Then you OBVIOUSLY didn't watch the video at the link Rosa posted.

The POLICE are removing the BLM supporters. Do you honestly believe BLM us not going to be posting about this themselves? Telling the same Truth Rosa has posted in her OP? When they do, you and everyone else defending this are going to look mighty foolish.

[George II]

155. Then why did the OP say that CLINTON (capital letters) throw them out if she didn't?

[in_cog_ni_to]

160. If CLINTON wanted them to stay, they would have stayed. You think the police are going to do

Something SHE DIDN'T want them to do? Of course not! She had them removed. The POLICE removed them for her.

[arcane1]

149. While the crowd chanted and cheered at their ejection.

That's ok to do now.

[in_cog_ni_to]

158. Exactly! Aren't they suppose to sit down, stfu, keep their mouths shut, listen and

then continue to STFU?

[sheshe2]

290. "How can something SO FALSE be posted here as "fact"?"

It is DU. Facts don't matter.

[Art_from_Ark]

345. LOL-- that's pretty funny, coming, as it is,

from someone who tried to link the son of Jewish refugees to Southern plantation owners and thuggish Chicago cops

[pinebox]

121. Jury results

I was juror #2

[Rosa Luxemburg]

128. so

one of the jurors expects everyone to be white on DU? OMG.

[TheFarS1de]

129. At least she seem's to be staying on message this time ....

She must have really meant it

[Kang Colby]

133. What should Hillary have done?

Allowed herself to get pushed off stage like Bernie did? I think not.




Can you imagine ANYONE on earth who could get Hillary Rodham Clinton to cower in the corner? I can't.

[ronnykmarshall]

141. shhhhh

now don't say that here on BU. You'll get reported!

When's the last time I told you that I love you?

Well ..... any way ... I LOVE YOU!!!

[Kang Colby]

183. Thanks.

Fortunately for us, DU will be back to its original program following Super Tuesday.

[polly7]

144. He wasn't cowering!

Good grief.

Johnson then asked for a four-and-half-minute moment of silence to honor Michael Brown Jr., the black teenager who was killed by police in Ferguson, Missouri, a year ago.

http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/bernie-sanders-event-shut-down-black-lives-matter-activists

[Kang Colby]

162. Whatever, dude. There is a twenty minute video...

of the entire interaction. He was clearly out of his element, and had NO CLUE how to handle the situation like an executive leader. If he can't handle something like that, how on earth could he be POTUS? He was uncomfortable and didn't know what to do. Zero leadership.

[polly7]

175. OFFS.

He gave them the mic, respectfully paid tribute to Michael Brown Jr. and didn't have them physically hauled out, man-handled or shut down. He's interested in their message, listening, learning and hoping to improve the things they're wanting addressed.

Let me guess, leadership to you is something more like this:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026158064

[Kang Colby]

178. I don't even understand what you are trying to say.

McCain, Code Pink, I have no idea how any of that is a reflection of HRC's leadership.

[polly7]

181. Having people dragged out.

He didn't do that. Simple. He let them have their opportunity to speak.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

194. Yes

Martin Luther King would have had BLM speak.

[polly7]

211. Yes, he would have.

That takes kindness, courage and empathy. Some have it, some don't, unfortunately. Apparently, to many, bodily throwing them out shows more 'leadership'. I disagree - I think that shows pure disdain for their message.

"MLK was criticized fiercely for his non violent approach by those who shortsightedly mistook it for weakness. Despite all of the appalling treatment he and others like him received, he conducted himself with the utmost dignity and unwavering humanity."

[Kang Colby]

197. No, BLM took Bernie's opportunity to speak while he cowered.

He tried to shake their hand, and they were having none of that. Hundreds if not thousands of people were there to listen to ***him*** in Seattle, and he failed them through lack of leadership.

What would he do if he had to get on stage with someone like Trump or Carson? Run and cower in the corner? I know what Hillary will do. We saw it last week when she proverbially smashed nearly a dozen Republicans like bugs all by her damn self.

[polly7]

202. Nah ............ he didn't cower.

You had to post a FAKE photo to make it appear so.

He's not a nutcase like Trump - he has respect for people, and he showed it here, as frustrating as it must have been.

FAKE PHOTO, BULLSHIT LIES about a GOOD MAN.

[Kang Colby]

208. Yeah, he looks real Presidential.

[polly7]

213. He looks like a man not willing to hurt people and who has the patience, experience

and common sense to let them have a voice. When chronically not given a voice, sometimes the only way to be heard is to disrupt. He's been a politician for a long, long time and has seen this many times while himself fighting for, among many other things, civil rights and protesting against racial discrimination.

He has a LOT of experience with people NEEDING to be heard, dating back decades. I give him credit for letting common sense override the frustration of the event being disrupted.

"While at the University of Chicago, Sanders joined the Young People's Socialist League,[30] the youth affiliate of the Socialist Party of America, and was active in the Civil Rights Movement as a student organizer for the Congress of Racial Equality and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.[6][7] In January 1962, Sanders led a rally at the University of Chicago administration building to protest university president George Wells Beadle's segregated campus housing policy. "We feel it is an intolerable situation when Negro and white students of the university cannot live together in university-owned apartments," Sanders said at the protest. Sanders and 32 other students then entered the building and camped outside the president's office, performing the first civil rights sit-in in Chicago history.[31][32] After weeks of sit-ins, Beadle and the university formed a commission to investigate discrimination.[33] Sanders also participated in the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.[34] That summer, he was found guilty of resisting arrest during a demonstration against segregation in Chicago's public schools and was fined $25.[35]"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders

Shortly after the protest, Sanders released a comprehensive platform on racial justice and introduced Symone Sanders, a young black activist, as his campaign’s national press secretary.

So, his tolerance worked, didn't it? As frustrating as it was, some good came of it all.

[Kang Colby]

223. He had other options, like you know, not putting himself or his supporters into a position like that

in the first place.

[polly7]

224. ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. nt.

[Kang Colby]

226. Makes sense now.

You have to be dreaming if you think Bernie handled that situation well. I wonder if JFK went over and cowered in the corner during a staff meeting in the middle of the Cuban missile crisis?

[polly7]

239. LOL. 'A staff meeting' in the middle of the Cuban missile crisis.

I'm not sure if you realize how ridiculous you look trying so hard.

[arcane1]

245. They play the role they are here to play n/t

[polly7]

260. A bit sad for this one ...... seems to think some people aren't worth

the dignity to at least be heard. Bernie Sanders had no warning in advance about this ...... he handled it far, far better than anyone else I can think of. I don't think it's even in his nature to have people shut up and hauled out, he probably didn't even consider such a thing.

[Kang Colby]

247. Probably not as ridiculous as Bernie looked when BLM pushed him aside. n/t

[arcane1]

253. Bernie is the bad guy for giving BLM the mic. Hillary is the good guy for denying them the mic.

Makes perfect sense!

[Kang Colby]

267. It's not about good or bad...it's a matter of leadership.

I don't doubt that Bernie is a good guy, that's all fine and well. But he didnt handle that situation like an executive leader. As POTUS, you need to be able to handle difficult situations, and Bernie seems unable to do that.

[polly7]

266. Oh too bad!!!

He didn't stand and watch as they were man-handled off and insulted and jeered ............ get over it. You get your jollies off on that - good for you.

[Ed Suspicious]

352. We've already had the Bernie threads. We've hashed those out for months. You might have missed it,

but this is a thread talking about Hillary Clinton's failure with BLM at this specific event. Try to stay on topic.

[Kang Colby]

214. Sure...

he "allowed" them to speak. That's clearly what the video shows.

[polly7]

221. Ick. nt.

[demwing]

342. you must be shitting bricks right now

Hillary just shot herself in the foot with African Americans, and you are clearly not handling it well.

[eridani]

363. It was not his goddam fucking situation to handle

The members onstage representing the Social Security Works handled it.

[TheFarS1de]

425. Exactly ...

However it was an actual Clinton event that this group of BLM protesters was removed from . Her own speech appearance . But apparently she can't even control her own security .

[Rosa Luxemburg]

157. so what you are saying

is that Hillary is getting tough on Black people not letting them speak, allowing them to be escorted out by police?

[Kang Colby]

171. Nope.

It was a rally for....Hillary. She is more than capable of relaying ***her message***, but she isn't going to let her rally get hijacked by anyone. Why? It's called leadership.

I'm fully confident that HRC will make meaningful progress with respect to civil rights and institutional racism. But...she isn't going to get pushed off the stage by anyone in the universe.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

182. leadership?

well I think she made a misstep that she will regret

[raindaddy]

172. Photoshopped version, never happened...

Maybe not cowering in the corner.... but the Wall Street Banks have her curled up in their pockets...

[Kang Colby]

188. Of course it's photoshopped.

But...that was his general posture for the bulk of the 20 minute video. My ***opinion*** is that Bernie didn't handle himself very well during the ordeal.

[polly7]

191. Are you fucking kidding me??

You purposefully posted a photo-shopped picture to paint him as a cowering coward?

That should have been hidden ........ pure bullshit post!!!!

[Kang Colby]

203. That's like your opinion, man. n/t

[polly7]

206. That's like, the TRUTH, man. lmfao. nt.

[azmom]

227. WTF photoshopped photo

[arcane1]

184. Why are you posting a fake photo? Why not let the truth prove your point? n/t

[Agschmid]

201. It's a rediculous photo...

A jury kept it 1-6.

[aidbo]

252. the URL for the image will take you here:

It's the "politics" section of a 4chan-like image board, and the stuff in there ain't pretty.

[rhett o rick]

421. Were you on the jury? Love to see the comments. nm

[Agschmid]

424. No I alerted.

Some had already done it before me.

[deutsey]

417. I can usually tolerate a lot of bullshit on DU

from both factions (I'm a Bernie supporter, but there are some in my camp who take it too far sometimes, imo), but I find a lot of the posts in this thread from Hillary supporters appalling.

[rhett o rick]

420. Ah yes we keep hearing just how tough HRC is. Too bad that isn't the quality that I put

first in my president. I rank integrity higher than toughness. Like being able to tell Bush and Cheney to go to hell when they asked her to help sell their war. But I understand the need of some for having a tough authoritarian leader regardless of how they stand on issues. But it's usually conservatives that prefer authoritarian leaders.

[Stellar]

434. Good 'photo shop' of Bernie cowering on the corner.

As a 71 y/o Black woman, this is the first time in my life that I am a one-issue voter, and it has a lot to do with BLM....not Bernie Sander or Hillary Clinton.

[blackspade]

138. That's not good.

Clinton was riding high, but it only takes one misstep and down you go.
I think she is likely to recover, though.
We'll see how she, her team, and the M$M handle this.

[stevenleser]

140. Interesting. I see no support for your position from the regulars in the African American group...

... but lots of support from white Bernie supporters.

Always a bad sign when for politics sake you claim to care/know more about a minority group's rights than members of that minority.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

163. do you?

you must be under an assumption? how do you explain that Bernie supporters are all white - on the internet?

[stevenleser]

166. Here you go...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=746703

[Rosa Luxemburg]

190. Thanks

[AOR]

199. Pretty much shows the hypocrisy and hidden agendas...

of Clinton supporters in the AA group then Steven. No consistency. If Sanders had said that the same people would have been all over him and I have no illusions about Sanders as "savior" of anything. I'm a leftist and have no dog in this hunt, but hypocrisy must be exposed. And speaking of hypocrites... John Lewis is a capitalist sellout and a rank hypocrite and has been for a long time. Opinions vary and that's mine and I'm certainly not alone in saying it. Cheers

[stevenleser]

210. It shows the reverse actually. Like all minorities and discriminated against groups...

African Americans should be deferred to when discussing issues of equality regarding African Americans.

They disagree with you and the OP here. Who should we believe regarding issues facing African Americans? African Americans or white Bernie Sanders supporters?

[AOR]

243. Believe whatever you want...

Leftist politics is about objective reality and the facts on the ground. The subjective opinions of the defenders of capitalism are irrelevant. As a leftist, I put no more stock in what black defenders of capitalist social relations are saying than I put in what the white defenders of capitalist social relations are saying or what any race or creed of defenders of capitalism are saying. When it comes to solutions in regards to Social and Economic justice...what side one stands on - in regards to ruling class/working class and who is doing the talking and why - matters. Who has power and who doesn't matters. Class matters. Mileage may vary depending on what side one stands on.

You really think the subjective opinions of a handful of people in the AA group on Democratic Underground represent the thoughts of what's real and what isn't in every dispossessed AA community in this country. Pretty arrogant outlook if you do.

[stevenleser]

250. I already told you the right thing to believe. You believe the minority about their equality issues.

Straight people don't get to lecture LGBT about LGBT rights.

Men don't get to lecture women about women's rights.

And white Bernie Sanders supporters here don't get to lecture African Americans here about African American rights.

Anything else is B.S.

[AOR]

324. You've lost your way Steven and are swimming in a sea of delusion...

the hidden agendas - of bourgeois capitalists of all stripes - wrapped in the veil of identity politics must be exposed. The complicity of those who reside in the Black political and capitalist ruling class will continue to be critiqued by black leftists, white leftists, and leftists of all stripes despite your protestations to the contrary. Nobody is immune when it comes to the destructive nature of capitalist social relations. Very sorry if that offends your subjective illusions of "right or wrong" but class matters in all fights for equality.

I think the bullshit belongs to those who continue to carry on the charade of claiming to be advocates of Social Justice while supporting the capitalist political power structure and the status quo that contributes greatly to inequality and oppression of every kind.

You and others here who try to separate and Social and Economic Justice are also quite clueless. To the capitalist - black or otherwise - Economic Justice means "simply money." To the leftist - black or otherwise - Economic Justice means the working class controlling their own destiny. That means control of the means and distribution of production, resources, and all wealth created by the working class and labor. Only those with hidden agendas - to defend capitalism - think the two are separate. When ANY leftist uses the words Social Justice it is a given that Economic Justice is included. The months of nonsense here - from those trying to separate the two to defend the staus quo - are beyond laughable obfuscation. That is the real steaming bullshit going on Steven and man does it give off a distinct odor that leftists can smell from a mile away.

[stevenleser]

327. So what you are saying is, someone you don't consider to be a leftist

shouldn't lecture leftists about leftist issues.

That sounds like a familiar argument. Where have I heard something similar...

[AOR]

332. Nah...I never said a word about lecturing anyone or anything...

everything is up for criticism including leftism of all stripes. Have at it. Leftists have been pounded upon for ages. The "Red Scare" wasn't just a slogan. It was created by those with hidden agendas and people were destroyed and silenced. Criticism of EVERYTHING is part of the deal or else you can't get to what's real and what isn't in material reality.

[Rilgin]

371. But

YOU do get to lecture everyone else on how they can not have any opinion unless its purely subjective. What gives you the right or knowledge to declare that everyone's subjective truth is the truth.

Your post is divisive and lecturing on how no-one knows what its like to have a problem other than the person directly having that problem and that no one else can either understand or help. My training is in the social sciences which explicitly says the opposite. I deal with people's issues all the time. Sometimes people know what is going on with them, sometimes they are too caught up in it and can not look at any problems objectively. This is actually usually the case when people are feeling pain or oppression. Sometimes we need an outside mirror to actually see what is going on with us.

Subjective feelings can actually lie. Many people have similar issues (and I mean similar not identical). Someone exposed to anti-arab hatred or who has been the victim of a genocide probably has a pretty good idea about any institutional racism even if they are not African American.

As to your divisiveness, you have nothing in common with PoC that I am friends with who do not share your opinion that no one understands what it means to be a human being trying to live a good life. We all have our crosses to bear and an enlightened progressive movement tries to find common ground between people and have them understand each other.

I am older now. My friends, acquaintances and loved ones all have many of the same concerns, that their children get ahead, that we are able to live, that we will not be homeless, that our health holds out, that fascism does not take hold. That we do not continue to have an economy solely based on war. We do not want to be victims of crime. We do not want to be victims of the state. We do not want to run into violent people in the wrong state of mind or wrong place. The race or gender of these friends have nothing to do with it. In addition to common concerns, some of these people have other issues that directly affect them (this is where you come in). Certainly, racism, anti-antisemitism, anti-arab issues are part of the world and affect us differently but we don't pretend that it is a unique experience in the world or history, that no other group has any truth on the subject or that our subjective feelings represent the absolute truth.

People have similar but not identical issues and can discuss each other directly and call each other on our bullshit. That is the progressive version of what humanity should strive for. All you can do is find division and difference and lecture people about how they do not understand the world if they are not one category of people.

[frylock]

275. They also seem to disagree with the protesters themselves..

but I'm sure posters in the AA group are better qualified to speak to the situation.

[TheKentuckian]

316. The folks he agrees with must be deferred to not just any old black folks

Particularly the well off and comfortable ones, they have their finger on the pulse ya know.

[Kip Humphrey]

232. a non-journalist, fox news contributor.

[stevenleser]

236. I'm not a fox news contributor. Talk about things you know about, whatever those things are. nt

[Kip Humphrey]

242. Sorry to hear you are no longer... CORRECTION: a former non-journalist Fox News contributor

[stevenleser]

246. Nope. Just like Bernie Sanders, I was never a Fox News contributor. I am a guest.

So are you going to throw Bernie under the bus now because you are claiming that is such a horrible thing?

I await your endorsement of Hillary!

[Kip Humphrey]

254. I avoid Fox so pardon me my ignorance, non-journalist Fox News "Guest" commentator.

[stevenleser]

256. Has nothing to do with Fox. Has to do with media terms. You were so intent on attacking me

you used terms that you don't understand about an industry you don't have the foggiest clue about.

[Kip Humphrey]

263. apparently you think my advertising what you do is an attack. And, yes I avoid Fox

so have not the foggiest clue about how their contracts are written. Thanks for informing me.

[stevenleser]

271. Well, if Bernie is your candidate, shouldn't you be advertising him on Fox News?

[Kip Humphrey]

277. Bernie is a Senator running for president; you are a... blogger.

[stevenleser]

279. And we're both occasional guests on Fox News and other networks. You have no point.

This was all about trying to attack me and it has blown up in your face. Because the thing you tried to assert as being terrible, appearing on Fox News, has been done multiple times by the person you support for President.

You look like a fool, and you deserve to look like a fool.

[Kip Humphrey]

304. I have a point... You are a non-journalist "Fox News "Guest" commentator,

and my point is that people who read your posts here on DU understand what you do. You see, many DUers avoid Fox News as do I. So, they may not know.

[stevenleser]

307. LOL, I am happy for folks to read this subthread and see what you are about. nt

[melman]

282. When you go on Fox as a 'Democratic strategist'

getting asked back is a bad sign. Anyone that goes on there and really kicks ass is never seen again. So if they like you it means you didn't do so hot.

[stevenleser]

284. And Bernie is invited on as a Democratic candidate for President. And he gets asked back.

Like the other poster, you have no point here other than to try to attack me, but the more you attack me, the more it looks hypocritical if your candidate for President does the very thing you are asserting is bad for me to do.

[JimDandy]

392. You just made the poster's point for me

I almost never watch FOX, so I've never seen you, but if you're a regular commentator that they put up to represent the viewpoint of Democrats, and this is the type of argument you use, then you just made the poster's point.

There is a well-known and deserved bias by Dems against commentators FOX uses to represent the liberal viewpoint. Because of that, I figure that such commentators who appear on FOX must have made a conscious choice to accept the disdain of and dismissal by Dems in exchange for a paycheck/exposure and self-promotion. You sleep in the bed you make.

As to Bernie appearing on FOX: Presidential candidates are newsworthy nationwide. They are supposed to be asked back by FOX simply because of that. Hard-hitting, effective Democratic commentators are not and apparently do not get asked back regularly. HUGE difference between Bernie and you appearing on FOX, HUGE.

[coyote]

364. Funny how the blatant truth can make you laugh.

Thank you.

[BeanMusical]

294. Well, could you enlighten us, poor peons, about that mysterious industry that you are "part of"?

In exchange we'll teach you a thing or two about quantum physics. Like the Heisenberg Candidate paradox and why Quarks are changing flavors all the time. Deal?

[stevenleser]

296. Not my job. If you attack someone, you better understand the words you are using.

Or else you look like an ass. Period.

[BeanMusical]

301. So the poster you were replying to is an ass?

[stevenleser]

311. So you are acknowledging they tried to attack me without understanding the words they were using? nt

[BeanMusical]

319. So you wanna play "I know you are but what am I"?

[polly7]

302. Mirror.

You.

[BeanMusical]

321. Short and to the point!

[polly7]

322. Thank ya!

[arcane1]

259. Just like "Journalist"...

[arcane1]

248. "Credibilty gaps, gullibility fills"

[stevenleser]

241. I'm as much a "fox news contributor" as Bernie Sanders is...

In other words, I'm not. I'm a guest when I appear, just like Bernie Sanders is:

[wilsonbooks]

369. Do guest get paid to appear on Fox "news"?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

[frylock]

270. We're all stunned to learn that, Steven.

[angrychair]

146. Easy to understand

Lewis. Usher. HRC.
Money talks, poor people walk.

[AOR]

156. Lots of crickets on this story so far from the outraged Sanders is not listening contingent...

I would expect that those outraged at the happenings at Sanders event would weigh in on this. No consistency and the hypocrisy and silence (except for weak and sarcastic drivel from a few Clinton supporters) is astounding.

http://www.politico.com/story/2015/10/hillary-clinton-black-lives-matter-protest-215396

"I appreciate their passion," Clinton said after they were out of the room, "but I'm sorry they didn't listen because some of what they're demanding, I am offering."

You're the one that should be listening and not talking Clinton just like Sanders and you ain't "offering" shit but capitalist lip-service and platitudes.

[stevenleser]

164. Zero crickets. There is a whole other thread including this post by one of the hosts of the AA group

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=746703

[in_cog_ni_to]

174. The only thing is, the video shows BLM being removed by the POLICE. So,

that thread is ridiculous on its face. Now we're not suppose to believe our lying eyes?
Sheesh. Hillary supporters (previous Hillary haters) have no shame and lose ALL credibility with this.

When BLM posts about this tomorrow, you're all going to look foolish for defending it.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

192. People around here are shocked

[stevenleser]

212. After they got to speak and were acknowledged. And Hillary did not get all huffy like Bernie did.

The differences are significant and that is what African Americans on DU are noting.

The fact that you think you know better than African Americans here about African American equality tells fair minded folks all they need to know.

[stevenleser]

216. And I will never be embarrassed for sticking up for a minority group and the opinions of that

minority group regarding their equality issues.

[arcane1]

231. But "journalist!!"

[Rosa Luxemburg]

167. Appreciate their passion

how condescending is that?

[dreamnightwind]

360. +1

[Doctor_J]

169. so I'm reading that the hillarians would like Bernie better if he'd had the protesters hauled away

They will literally say anything, won't they?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

176. they are all over the place

If I were Hillary I would have told the police to bring them back

[in_cog_ni_to]

177. OR....DEFEND HIS PODIUM BETTER! LIKE HILLARY DID!

Yes, yes, yes that is posted here on the thread!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

187. I'm sure that Obama would not let the police escort BLM out

[in_cog_ni_to]

200. Very doubtful! He would have let them speak and probably invite them onto the stage. n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

204. Yes

[Fairgo]

Too much cognitive dissonance can cause a migraine. After awhile, the brain starts to shut down until all that is left is the stem. Then you become a republican. It's not pretty.

[in_cog_ni_to]

437. LOL!

[arcane1]

189. They threw BLM under the BACK of the bus n/t

[Hydra]

331. They've been using BLM from the start

And Hillary keeps dropping the ball whenever they set it up for her. It's really disturbing to watch.

were thrown out after a disruption.....when are they ever going to learn they cause more harm then good to their cause?

they have their wires crossed.

[PatrickforO]

274. Lots of sniping going on between the supporters of Clinton and Sanders on this thread.

But I know what I see. When BLM confronted Sanders, he gave them the mic. When they confronted Clinton, they were escorted out.

[stevenleser]

276. You forgot Sanders' huffy tantrum. You forgot Sanders supporters angry treatment of BLM. You forgot

Sanders supporters crapping on BLM all over Twitter for weeks afterwards.

You forgot Sanders supporters crapping on BLM all over the internet for weeks afterwards.

Yes, one knows what one sees indeed.

[frylock]

281. Sanders huffy tantrum is is a figment of a fevered imagination.

[Agschmid]

285. Sort of like the imagination which compares what happened tonight...

To Selma protestors being attacked by dogs?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

287. What?

[frylock]

291. I knew what I was doing when I posted that.

I received the expected results, on multiple levels.

[Agschmid]

292. Fevered indeed.

[frylock]

295. Baseball fever..

Catch it!

[Agschmid]

317. Go Mets.

[frylock]

325. I could go either way. Just want to see 7 games.

Disillusioned Padres fan here.

[PatrickforO]

288. Sanders didn't have the cops drag them out.

He got huffy. But he didn't have them dragged out. And anyway, I know I'd get huffy if I was at an event where I was speaking and had some demonstrators come disrupt it, and I expect you would too if you're white too, and you're being honest. No doubt there at all. That's because I'm white and can never have the true understanding of or experience of being black.

It is good BLM is bringing this issue to the forefront because cops really have gotten out of control. They are demanding some justice, and they are protesting with the candidates they think might do something about it.

But, bottom line, Clinton handled it no better than Sanders, and the way she handled it makes her look just a tad worse.

[stevenleser]

293. Hillary didn't have them removed either. And she handled it much better than Bernie did.

The event planners had them removed. And here is something that is a big problem for your attempt at a point.

The event planners were African Americans for Hillary, a group headed by congressman Lewis.

[arcane1]

306. Is she still unfit to be president?

[wilsonbooks]

370. Some Hillary supporters

evolve just like Hillary.

[polly7]

312. So?

What does it matter who the event planners were?

Should some not be able to try to raise awareness for issues they believe need addressed?

[stevenleser]

315. This post just kicked up to the top of my "My Posts" list, so someone on my ignore list responded.

Sorry ignored, I can't read what you are saying.

[polly7]

318. LOL! nt.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

300. Right

Clinton should have shouted to the police to stop them escorting BLM out and invited them to stay. Hillary's audience acted inappropriately too. The last time she had them ushered into another room where she spoke to them privately. I don't think that Hillary can guarantee that a high percentage of African Americans will come out to vote for her.

[TheKentuckian]

339. The Clinton supporters are too busy slapping each other on the back and cheering her

defend her podium and throwing the malcontents out.

There was also some fucking badass nodding by Madame Secretary so awesome that the joy cannot be overcome enough for any discontented.

320. Where did the police escort the protesters out, if the source of this was Breibart it would be

expected to pay this over and over and over and over, guess I will add this source to my list of not factural. Can you add the portion where they were thrown out of the meeting, I would love to see that portion, I also did not hear Hillary say Black Lives Matter in the other source I viewed, yes I know this will be the one which creates the cognitive dissonance needed to soothe some. No wonder some people have a hard time when they see truth, this is crap. Also did not hear the chanting for the group to be tazzed. Better luck next time.

338. There she goes again

[Truprogressive85]

348. Smh

@_iAmRoyal: One of Hillary's campaign managers said: "She was nervous to come here anyway, for this exact reason."

350. So Hillary supporters

Do Black Lives Matter or do Black Lives Not Matter or Do Black Lives Matter only when it's convenient to Hillary and her campaign?

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

381. According to some on here, this was a magnificent win for Hillary!

She 'did them proud', and the BLM folks got to say what they wanted, and even talk to John Lewis!

It's an amazing spin on what actually happened, especially when you see the tweets from some of the actual people involved.

The secret service forcibly escorted us out of the arena to cries of "ignorance!" and "nigger!" #Hillary4Who #AUCShutItDown

Yeah, that's a really pro-BLM crowd. I lost track of some of the others, but they were not thrilled to 'meet and talk to' John Lewis, who was telling them this wasn't the time or place for protests.

355. what does

Simply being rude and disruptive have to do with blm? They are burning too many bridges with these actions. Not doing themselves any favors.

[Lil Missy]

359. Clinton didn't throw them out, but I wish someone would. I'd ban them from all future events.

If I want to hear a protest, I'll go to a protest. If I go to a Rally, I want to hear the main speaker.

[Truprogressive85]

404. Ban Protesters How ? its not like BLM announces where they are going to be

So people shouldn't protest ? or it is the fact they are vocal young black students, standing up for what they believe in, and going against the status quo ?

368. So now DU supports BLM's right to protest?

372. I'm glad they were escorted out.

I was against them interrupting Senator Sanders, and I'm against them interrupting Secretary Clinton. If they want respect, they should treat others with respect.

[wendylaroux]

375. it is getting their attention,is it not?

sounds like it is working to me.

[Dont call me Shirley]

396. And Bernie lets BLM speak. He has always been a champion of equality!

[in_cog_ni_to]

400. Exactly!

This just brought the entire RUSE (and HYPOCRISY) to light! They were just using BLM as a wedge issue. Many Hill supporters couldn't give 2 shits less about BLM.

This has been enlightening! They've been exposed. Sunlight has always been the best disinfectant!

PEACE
LOVE

397. she must be one of those thirdway progressive racists I've been reading about

that should disqualify her from seeking the nod, but shamelessness is a cure-all for her kind.

[red dog 1]

407. Good for her!

IMO, "Black Lives Matter" are agent provocateurs

If BLM protesters manage to get in to a GOP candidate's speech, they are thrown out the minute they stand up & start shouting "Black lives matter"

[polichick]

408. So the campaign volunteers were instructed to chant "Hillary" during a disturbance...

We were instructed to chant "Yes we can" when working events for Obama.

[MisterP]

412. "say her name" seems to be taking on a rather new meaning ...

[OnlinePoker]

416. The cynic in me thinks this whole "protest" was staged

They came in, were allowed to walk right in front to make their chants, and then were politely escorted back out. They weren't thrown out, they were escorted by two police/security personnel, one in front and one behind, both men black so as not to appear like racist bullying. I think I've become too jaded in my middle years with the BS I see in politics and don't trust any campaign to be on the up and up.

[sibelian]

428. Well THERE'S the world's biggest, fattest fucking surprise.

GOSH. She didn't give a fuck? BROOOOOOO. No WAAAAAAY.

DAYUM.

And she's, like, so FER REAL n shit.

[in_cog_ni_to]

438. LOL! Where on earth have you been? Missed your input and

insight!

[sibelian]

447. Dude, I just got SICK O THE SHIT

Booooored, now. I don't know what to do about them, so fuck em, I figger. I've been at Discussionist having fairly reasonable conversations with CONSERVATIVES!! It's fricken surreal, they stick to the subject and stuff...

[in_cog_ni_to]

448. I hear ya! They get old, fast!

Same memes recycled everyday. All day, every day is spent trying to trash a great man, while NEVER being able to talk Clinton's issues.

Have fun at the other site.

433. Well this seems to have struck a nerve?

[UglyGreed]

446. The Hillary camp

seems to resemble some her supporters here at DU, shut them up and kick them out if they don't comply......
