I think someone is behind this but I doubt its Hillary's team. I suspect snagglepuss Aug 2015 #126

The theory by some of his followers has been that the republicans WANT Sanders to look strong... George II Aug 2015 #71

What? whatchamacallit Aug 2015 #80

If they are backed by anybody, its the Hillary campaign Joe the Revelator Aug 2015 #89

A 0-7 sweep... impressive. WorseBeforeBetter Aug 2015 #113

BLM is just after Sanders. Period. nt djean111 Aug 2015 #64

Sanders is drawing the largest crowds, which makes him an obvious target. winter is coming Aug 2015 #68

This was not even a fucking Sanders event. He was invited to speak. djean111 Aug 2015 #74

Black Lives Matter fredamae Aug 2015 #7

Exactly. And for that reason something smells awfully fishy. snagglepuss Aug 2015 #33

You know..I wasn't fredamae Aug 2015 #49

#BLM just lost my support. The fact they haven't pulled this crap on R's or HRC is telling peacebird Aug 2015 #60

Fuck the GOP. nt nc4bo Aug 2015 #122

so when are they going to barge into an obama event? nt msongs Aug 2015 #2

I sincerely hope Obama's security detail is more competent dsc Aug 2015 #9

Then maybe Bernie should get some Secret Service protection like they do. jwirr Aug 2015 #40

they did give it to Obama early based on his level of threats dsc Aug 2015 #48

About two words. rurallib Aug 2015 #18

What do you make of Bernie's tactic of cancelling hte speech? snagglepuss Aug 2015 #52

Did HE cancel it? The poster said "they have canceled the event" and this was not HIS event. jwirr Aug 2015 #61

Thanks for the clarification. snagglepuss Aug 2015 #76

I'm not sure he canceled so much as ran out of time? winter is coming Aug 2015 #65

That's a relief. I thought this was the main event. snagglepuss Aug 2015 #83

It was a BLM call for a moment of silence for black victims of police violence. Ken Burch Aug 2015 #11

they really have an obligation to do it to 17 Republican candidates. rurallib Aug 2015 #13

They could be paid provocateurs. The billionaires Bernie is targetting have deep pockets. snagglepuss Aug 2015 #23

You may be right there. n/t. Ken Burch Aug 2015 #29

True. It will interesting to see if anyone knows/identifies the women. n/t winter is coming Aug 2015 #30

I know this: the news story won't be "Bernie speaks to 18K in Portland" anymore. winter is coming Aug 2015 #77

what's really a shame is that some fantastic speeches are now completely eclipsed cali Aug 2015 #85

That's a feature, not a bug. n/t winter is coming Aug 2015 #87

For a group that said they'd protest at "all" events, they sure seem to focus on one person. arcane1 Aug 2015 #58

Yes. All good ideas. n/t. Ken Burch Aug 2015 #37

He has. Check out the many posts covering this in DU's snagglepuss Aug 2015 #41

What I heard the BLMer say was disorganized, rambling, and coached from the sidelines rocktivity Aug 2015 #45

Why not have the person doing the coaching do the speaking? n/t winter is coming Aug 2015 #121

I think it was because the speaker had light skin and long straight hair rocktivity Aug 2015 #123

It's utterly unbelievable that this was an authentic BLM disruption. HappyPlace Aug 2015 #103

BLM needs to dialog with the DoJ and Obama Cosmic Kitten Aug 2015 #108

Then BLM is preparing their statements pugetres Aug 2015 #112

What *is* a "genuine BLM protest"? Do they need BLM ID cards? Set talking points? winter is coming Aug 2015 #117

IMO there would be some press around it. HappyPlace Aug 2015 #124

There *was* someone from the local BLM that had already spoken... winter is coming Aug 2015 #125
