Oct 2015

It was big news push back against Bernie in the MSM and all over the net.. It went on for months.

But, truly, it was bad here on DU how Bernie was trashed and even ridiculed suggesting that his marching with MLK and being arrested in a civil rights demonstrations was just "So 1960's" that it didn't even deserve to be mentioned because obviously he had no "current" experience in caring about BLM.

Seems like Hillary's "current" experience is to have BLM Demonstrators ushered out by police and her audience chanting "Hillary, Hillary" to shout them down from speaking.
