(15,480 posts)There were WHITE protestors w/ signs along the road Clinton took at her elitist fundraiser at a multi-billionaire's estate in Fox Chapel, PA.
All of her "conversations with Hillary" fundraisers are held at private estates of the wealthy - some of them in gated communities. But the locations are mentioned in the news well in advance, as are the starting times. Simple enough to demonstrate along the road just before the entrance to the gated community/private roadway. All you need is some poster board and felt tipped markers. Here are the FACTS I put together for another post:
White protestors w/signs on road to HRC's fundraiser
When HRC attended a fundraiser at the home of a multi-billionaire in Fox Chapel, PA, security blocked off a private road on which the estate was located, but protestors appeared at another road anyone (with a map/Mapquest) could figure out she would have to travel.
Shortly after 11 a.m., Clinton pulled into the driveway of the Shapira estate, nestled at the end of a private road lined with big houses and plush, green lawns.
A few blocks away, five protesters carrying signs reading Stop Hillary high-fived passers-by and elicited a few honks from cars outside Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church.

Note: This is my neighborhood. My AAUW chapter meets at this church. It's on a main traffic-lighted intersection everyone has to drive through if they're coming from the airport and headed to Fox Chapel. As noted in the newspaper article, they were protesting just a few blocks away from the soiree's location.
The location of her Portland, Oregon fundraiser (at another billionaire's estate, of course)was well advertised weeks in advance. And guess what? no BLM protesters. It would have been so simple for them to station themselves with signs &/or loudspeakers for a few hours on Clinton's path between the airport and the elite estate.
Clinton flew into Portland in the early afternoon after appearing at a fundraiser in Park City, Utah. She visited with donors at the Dunthorpe home of major Democratic donor Win McCormack and political consultant Carol Butler for just under two hours before returning to the airport to attend an evening fundraiser in Atherton, Calif.

But no-o-o-o-o-, not a single one. Connect the dots campers - BLM is being deliberately used, or complacently allowing itself to be used to attack Bernie. If BLM has not and does not condone the blatant bias of attacking only HRC's primary opponents, they would obviously speak up. But the silence
