Bravenak is talking about threads demanding apologies to OBAMA...I think you share the same POV. nt MADem Jul 2015 #112

I have seen a few posts with the descriptions you presented, but the vast majority of still_one Jul 2015 #4

There have been dozens. People talking about how they no longer care about police violence geek tragedy Jul 2015 #6

I have seen some of that, but my sense was it wasn't the majority, but my sense most still_one Jul 2015 #10

I don't know about the majority, but there's a lot of venom being thrown out there, geek tragedy Jul 2015 #12

You are right on target about all kinds of venom getting thrown out, and that isn't good still_one Jul 2015 #18

Maybe the difference is this - djean111 Jul 2015 #5

Bernie's not as much of a problem--he'll figure it out--as the over-the-top rage geek tragedy Jul 2015 #7

Some of these Bernie supporters don't realize that the problem is them, not Bernie. JoePhilly Jul 2015 #19

Bernie needs them like Hillary needed Billy Shaheen. nt geek tragedy Jul 2015 #21

I don't know why these "white boy progressives" are so angry. SolutionisSolidarity Jul 2015 #68

so you feel persecuted as a white person? geek tragedy Jul 2015 #73

Nope. But I don't feel like supporting people that openly hate me either. SolutionisSolidarity Jul 2015 #75

"people that openly hate me" yes, this is standard white persecution complex geek tragedy Jul 2015 #77

To oppress me BLM would need to have power. SolutionisSolidarity Jul 2015 #80

you feel they are attacking you, victimizing you, hating you. nt geek tragedy Jul 2015 #83

They lack the capacity to victimize me. SolutionisSolidarity Jul 2015 #87

what words are those? nt geek tragedy Jul 2015 #89

White progressives are going to learn today! Posted right before NRN. SolutionisSolidarity Jul 2015 #140

Of course. I think Nicole Sandler also gets scared like that of Elon and Imani Gandy. bravenak Jul 2015 #151

No I wasn't expecting violence - you don't have to be violent to hate. SolutionisSolidarity Jul 2015 #163

"Obama did not pause his speech or acknowledge the interruption" arcane1 Jul 2015 #13

he was giving a speech in front of thousands nt geek tragedy Jul 2015 #37

What interruption was that? No one commented on the protesters because they didn't interfere. aikoaiko Jul 2015 #25

because of the secret service JI7 Jul 2015 #29

That may the OP's point, that that's not what bothered Sanders and O'Malley supporters (IMO) aikoaiko Jul 2015 #45

But it's not just that. people are bringing up conspiracy theories JI7 Jul 2015 #49

I haven't encountered an O'Malley supporter at DU JustAnotherGen Jul 2015 #50

The point is they did protest to Obama as well- and have plans for Hilary bettyellen Jul 2015 #33

I'll repeat my post in #45. aikoaiko Jul 2015 #48

which O'malley supporters are upset ? JI7 Jul 2015 #52

You are correct! JustAnotherGen Jul 2015 #56

An utterly lame comparison BeyondGeography Jul 2015 #32
