Peaceful protest is a fundamental right but I can't believe Senator Sanders would countenance such aberrant behavior.

to say he is not in favor of people disrupting meetings, because he knows he doesn't like that.

When they associate themselves with a political campaign, they most definitely do harm to that campaign.

Yes, people have freedom of speech. And, yes, that freedom of speech can hurt a campaign, if it is used poorly.

It sounds like this was a poor use of that right. It should not be defended by other supporters of the same campaign. Instead, it should be condemned.

Of course I'm referring to Trump. This makes things so much worse when dealing with his fans, who are already on the edge.

his intention not to during the general election campaign. It will be his downfall, I believe. Like Rush Limbaugh has done, he'll alienate one group after another until only his clones like him any longer.

On this message board there was another thread with a second kid who was crying. That was a different kid. Some obscenities were hurld and scared the kid. A guy was giving free hugs and was calming the kid. I am not sure but I thought that they were swearing at the kid's mother... People on the thread Bernie Sanders supporters were not disavowing it. An example of a tame thread which seeks to say this stuff is okay is where the author talks about another rally of anti Vietnam protests. The presenter said the war was more obscene than the obscenity.
The thread was attached to a twitter feed and I couldn't get into the video but the picture was of a boy child not a girl.

A Clinton supporter is at this horrendous event and instead of getting video on his phone to show proof to the world he uses it to tweet another Hillary flack??? Yeah, right...
