And they hate Michelle Obama.

They hate Michelle Obama. They sat on their hands and made b***** faces well she talked.

3. He was on the platform committee band voted for TPP ...

5. Do you believe that justifies what happened during his speech? nt

[4139]

6. No, but it explains why he was targeted.... They likely target every TPP supporter

[63splitwindow]

11. Being a part of the platform, they target a lot of Democrats. Trump agrees with them. nt

[bluedye33139]

17. Trump also shares being born to a trust-fund with them

[BeyondGeography]

7. So that cancels out his right to be heard without interruption?

Do explain why one of our greatest Democrats should have to shout his convention speech about diversity and HC for all out over anti-TPP dilettantes?

[4139]

10. I was just pointing out why he was targeted

[BeyondGeography]

12. Oh, I see

[4139]

14. I should have put that in my post to clarify

[63splitwindow]

9. Does "Love Trumps hate" mean same thing to all those holding that sign? nt

13. Ending fracking is a no brainer

the planet and our lives are on life support. Those who blocked the resolution to end fracking deserve no respect for ignoring science and putting our survival at risk.

15. Letting Elijah Cummings speak without interruption is a no-brainer

[63splitwindow]

18. +100. This is the convention to nominate the person to defeat Don the Con

Con is the guy who would use eminent domain to have BP put a fracking rig where your couch sits right now.

[ffr]

19. +1 The guy's a living legend

I don't even deserve to be in the same room as him. Can't imagine what thoughts were going through the protesters minds.

20. Being against the TPP is NOT about race.

[Drunken Irishman]

21. The optics of a bunch of white people shouting down a black speaker is awful.

Had it happened at an RNC event, we WOULD be calling racism.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

22. It's political theater....

It's political calculation at its worse.

Trump is racist.
Trump is against the TPP
These people are against TPP
Therefore they are racist.



I don't know which is worse, the idea that they actually believe we are stupid enough to buy that or that some HAVE bought it.

[Drunken Irishman]

23. It's bad optics regardless.

It always will be when a bunch of white people shout down a black person giving a speech. It would've looked bad had it happened at the RNC last week and it looks just as bad now. Bernie supporters are not gaining any support tonight. They're alienating the few allies they have. And once you do that, you lose.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

24. And you honestly don't believe this was calculated to do just that.
