Not at all sorry. I wish all of the protesters would have a tape on their mouths. And yes, I know you are a Bernie supporter, and yes, I said it . Peace.

In general, I'm all for demonstrating, but WTF is tape over their mouths supposed to signify? I guess I'm just a snob. If you are going to make a stand, travel to Philly, and be on TV, at least be clever about it. I wonder if the media will cover the fart-in? That should make a real visual statement! NOT. It is all so embarrassing... I mean, aren't Dems supposed to be smarter and more clever than the opposition? And our best is a freaking fart-in or tape?

This is why Occupy didn't take root. They make it so hard to join their cause, even if you believe in their goals.


These are the same assholes.


They are pushing people AWAY from their cause.... because they are too immature.

they are anti-Democratic Party demonstrators.

I'd like to see tenure requirements for future delegates. Five straight years of being registered Democratic, and no endorsing a non-Democrat.
