They create their own reality and facts and logic will never change it.

Kind of sad really to see our party become that which we used to be against.

I guess they haven't gotten the memo that Hillary has been Cassiopeia Oct 2015 #1
She did AWESOME!!! bravenak Oct 2015 #3
Did she let them take the mic? think Oct 2015 #5
didn't you watch the video? riversedge Oct 2015 #7
Yes. I watched it. think Oct 2015 #12
Then you know they were not on stage. riversedge Oct 2015 #15
Watch the video bravenak Oct 2015 #8
In other words no. think Oct 2015 #9
Does it not play on your machine? bravenak Oct 2015 #11
I watched it. She didn't offer to let them speak from what I saw. think Oct 2015 #14
I did not see them ask. Perhaps because she yelled black lives matter instead of leaving the stage? bravenak Oct 2015 #16
Ok. think Oct 2015 #18
Do you know if they asked?? riversedge Oct 2015 #17
Did she offer? think Oct 2015 #19
That was not your original question. riversedge Oct 2015 #21
BLM has accomplished so much in such a little amount of time. randys1 Oct 2015 #2
Not so much an interruption actually. n/t ornotna Oct 2015 #4
Agreed. The BLM group was well organized and did not get jwirr Oct 2015 #6
Gee, how come Bernie couldn't have just said "Black lives do matter!" like she did there? SunSeeker Oct 2015 #10
Exactly!! bravenak Oct 2015 #13
oh oh riversedge Oct 2015 #20
LOL SunSeeker Oct 2015 #45
Bernie tried to shake their hands when they got on stage in Seattle. Perhaps you forgot. think Oct 2015 #22
They weren't there to shake hands. They wanted to be heard. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #26
They jumped on stage and were right next to him while he was speaking. Watch the video. think Oct 2015 #31
Bernie never left the stage either time. think Oct 2015 #23
Yes, he left the podium and then left the stage. Each time. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #25
Your welcome to your revisionist history but it's not factual think Oct 2015 #28
I suggest you do the same. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #30
I did. think Oct 2015 #32
In Seattle, the podium was ceded. Just as the protestors wanted. Scootaloo Oct 2015 #36
He didn't just cede the podium, he left the stage, ending the rally. nt SunSeeker Oct 2015 #39
See post 38 for the unedited video. He stood there for 20 minutes while the 2 women spoke. think Oct 2015 #40
No, he didn't leave the stage. Scootaloo Oct 2015 #41
Yes, he did. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #43
Boy, your goalposts keep moving. Scootaloo Oct 2015 #53
Rest my friend. There is no logic that can be used here. Phlem Oct 2015 #48
Yep, it is a waste of time. zeemike Oct 2015 #66
Mmmmno? Scootaloo Oct 2015 #33
He left the stage but he didn't "leave the stage." Got it. nt SunSeeker Oct 2015 #35
NRN's hosts ended the event fifteen minutes early. Everyone left the stage. Scootaloo Oct 2015 #37
I never said Sanders had "unique malice." He just didn't handle it well. nt SunSeeker Oct 2015 #42
Here's what you said Scootaloo Oct 2015 #52
No assertions of malice in what I said. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #61
I'm hardly pissed off, SunSeeker Scootaloo Oct 2015 #67
LOL. Night, Scootaloo. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #68
Well, no malice, but it WAS pretty lame. He handled it perfectly. I am so proud to be a supporter sabrina 1 Oct 2015 #72
No he didn't handle it perfectly. He looked miffed and flustered. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #73
He handled it beautifully. And now we have this to compare it to, and Sanders handling of sabrina 1 Oct 2015 #70
+1000. nt. polly7 Oct 2015 #71
I never "screamed racism." I said he didn’t handle it well. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #74
He patiently waited for over 20 minutes at the back of the stage in Seattle. think Oct 2015 #38
Yup, he tried to wait them out rather than engage them or acknowledge them and their message. nt SunSeeker Oct 2015 #44
Every time he tried to speak to them they shouted him down. Apparently is was a one way dialogue think Oct 2015 #51
It wasn't a dialogue. It was a protest. And he didn't handle it well. nt SunSeeker Oct 2015 #63
Bernie did say that. It wasn't enough for them. He tried to shake hands when they grabbed the mic. magical thyme Oct 2015 #54
and then there's the way she met with BLM her 1st time around, in private... magical thyme Oct 2015 #55
False. Kang Colby Oct 2015 #56
still doesn't justify a snarky, angry response from chief "diplomat" magical thyme Oct 2015 #57

Why are you using this photoshopped image again?? polly7 Oct 2015 #69
I'm not the one who wants to play games here. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #58
You might think her private meeting with them was "handling it well." I do not. magical thyme Oct 2015 #60
You're entitled to your opinion, as am I to mine. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #65
Loved the HILLARY! chants to drown out The BLM folks. blackspade Oct 2015 #24
You know, portlander23 Oct 2015 #27
Ok. bravenak Oct 2015 #29
Hillary fans actually standing up and cheering for Black Lives Matter! upaloopa Oct 2015 #34
Why did they interrupt her? N/t azmom Oct 2015 #46
Because there stupid I've never seen this group interrupt any republicans who are running bigdarryl Oct 2015 #47
I hope you are not serious. Do you know azmom Oct 2015 #49
I'm dead serious and she did meet with them these fools are not happy what ever she says bigdarryl Oct 2015 #50
Interesting headline: TEAM HILLARY WHINES: "BLM? Don't these fools have jobs?" demwing Oct 2015 #75
Video of BLM Protesters Being Escorted Out of Rally, Being Called Ignorant By HRC Supporter votesparks Oct 2015 #59
They were escorted to a place where they could speak with John Lewis and others. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #64

The Clinton campaign treated the protesters with respect. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #77
