Philadelphia: Cheri Honkala, the leader of the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign, announced that her group was organizing the world’s largest “fart-in” to be held on July 28 at the Wells Fargo Center during Hillary Clinton’s anticipated acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination.

“We will be holding a massive bean supper for Bernie Sanders delegates on American Street in my Kensington neighborhood on the afternoon of July 28,” she said. “We are setting up a Clintonville there, modeled on the Hoovervilles of the 1930s where the poor and unemployed built shanty towns. The Sanders delegates, their bellies full of beans, will be able to return to the Wells Fargo Center and greet the rhetorical flatulence of Hillary Clinton with the real thing."

Honkala said she would issue an invitation to Sanders to join the bean supper, which she is calling Beans for Hillary. She has asked donors to send cans of beans to 1301-W Porter Street, Philadelphia, Pa., 19148.

...

Chris Hedges, an author and activist who is an ordained Presbyterian minister, will open the Beans for Hillary meal with a nondenominational prayer.

1. What could be more appropriate

than a "fart-in" coming from juvenile assholes. Natures way!

[MADem]

2. LOL!

We have got some sore losers out there, haven't we?

I'll bet she gets more cans of beans than attendees.

[Plucketeer]

10. No sore loser

Just really disgusted at having been fed a Sham-paign.

[geek tragedy]

12. I'm sure a bunch of angry, stoned people farting in a park will sway

public opinion on single payer and income inequality.

[MADem]

31. THREAD WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's nothing left to say, now!!!

That comment was, as the kids say, EPIC!!

32. If they light them, are they Burners?

[Plucketeer]

6. DAMN YOU!

I spewed my breakfast when I started to read this! I'm still laughing as I try to reply. What a FITTING tribute to the presumptuous nominee - a GIANT odorous cloud of methane. The sort of gas that the continued pursuit of fossil fuels will cause to come belching from beneath trhe ocean floors and thawing tundra.

Bean pump-> Eventual result ->

[geek tragedy]

9. Maybe they should up the ante and hold a "shart in" to show

their commitment. A mere fart cloud could just blow over ...

[Iliyah]

13. Better yet, lets have a "fart off" contest

See which group have the most highest volume of sound and smell

[geek tragedy]

14. I'm sure Trump supporters would be game nt

[MADem]

8. None of these "Onion" competitors are quite as good as the real thing (nt)

[NWCorona]

11. I hope no one gets fooled by their farts lol!

Bar-s hot links are far worse than a bean supper IMHO.

[libodem]

15. I'll bring the pickled eggs

Farts are funny. I don't care who you are.

[QC]

27. And don't forget the cabbage!

It seems like a fart before you even eat it!

[calimary]

16. Bless their hearts...

Talking about making a stink about something you don't like...

Hey, whatever. Explode away! But they better not start arguing about rising air pollution...

[Hekate]

18. Their protest plans for the Republican Convention are...?

[BlueCaliDem]

35. ...

[L. Coyote]

36. Open the jars they farted in.

[BlueCaliDem]

37. They're too afraid to protest Republicans. Those people are armed and as tenacious as them.

So, of course, attack the Democratic Convention. Democrats are saner and safer.

[Martin Eden]

19. Please, don't call them "beans"

The acceptable term is musical fruit.
