Go get 'em Bernie!

[Le Taz Hot]

1. When does it start?

I REALLY want to see this! Going into the belly of the beast.

And for the inevitable, "Bernie Sanders supporters would howl if Hillary Clinton went to Liberty University!" I want to say, yes probably so. Because Hillary would go to pander to the anti-LGBT "faith-based" crowd wherein Sanders will have exactly the same message that he's had for all other crowds he's spoken to. In other words, no pandering. THAT is the difference.

[think]

2. Should be starting soon. Watching the warm up on Bernie 2016 TV right now.

They are playing a clip of an interview with a former GOPer that use to attend Liberty University but will cut to a live feed from a local TV station once Bernie starts speaking.

[reformist2]

3. I like his boldness, his willingness to speak to everyone!

[Catherina]

4. Thank you! n/t

[Le Taz Hot]

5. I had to put it on mute, at least until Bernie started speaking.

That "music" is well, just AWFUL! Arrrrgghhhhh! Could somebody please teach these kids a 4th chord please?

[zazen]

8. ugh, it's like the Rising, only written by orangatans n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

6. Thank you, pinebox!

I'm anxious see how well he's received.

Could do without that music, but it is a Christian University so I'll suffer through.

[in_cog_ni_to]

7. I saw Bernie! n/t

[zazen]

9. ugh, now the prayer with bad arpeggios behind it

[restorefreedom]

10. this is the most interesting and unique

political presentation i have seen in a long while

[zazen]

12. I LOVE the fact that he's going into this context to spread his message and faith

But highly stage-managed Christian performances by right-wing fundamentalists have never set well with me, since Pat Robertson and Falwell began aggressively slick-i-fying generations of evangelical Christians so they could infiltrate the mainstream press, courts, etc.

Give me raw rural churches any day.

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. Ugh...another song. MUTE. n/t

[demmiblue]

13. When is he expected to speak?

I also have this on mute. Gah!

[woodsprite]

14. Unmute! Fallwell's intro has started. n/t

[demmiblue]

16. I'm gonna trust you on this.

[bobbobbins01]

15. Damn, I was not expecting that sort of reception.

He continues to impress me.

[demmiblue]

17. He put it all out there. Impressive.

[bobbobbins01]

18. Fearless

He's bringing the pain.

[Fawke Em]

19. Get the differences out of the way and then bring home the

similarities.

I love this context: morality, justice.

"There is no justice when so few have so much and so many have so little. There is no justice when the top 1/10th of 1 percent owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent. You will, in your hearts, have to determine the morality of that and the justice of that."

[woodsprite]

22. and telling them to look at it within the context of their Bibles. n/t

[Fawke Em]

32. What WOULD Jesus do?

Yup.

[reformist2]

20. They're so afraid to clap about money issues. They just aren't taught about social justice.

[Fawke Em]

21. They are clapping, though.

Not like Greensboro - LOL - but they are.

[reformist2]

23. True. In any case, this is a pretty awesome event!

[Fawke Em]

25. It takes a lot of guts to walk into the lion's den.

Bernie has the internal fortitude to withstand it.

Reason 114,576 why he's my candidate.

[reformist2]

26. I think he's connecting, which is amazing to see.

[KoKo]

43. He was Awesome...and Authentic.....

It was quite a watch! Hard to know if he changed any of the minds of the "hard core" but not all there are the Rabid RW Evangelicals.

From reading about the School it now allows some differing viewpoints and more diversity of students since Jerry Falwell died. His son expanded the the diversity because the school was ready to go bankrupt and now its doing very well.

Bernie has to be an eye opener for many of those students....they probably never saw a politician like him before.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

24. K&R

[demmiblue]

27. This is great... he is really hitting home regarding what is common to all of us.

[in_cog_ni_to]

28. They seem to like him!

And agree with him on the moral issues he's talking about. This is just the kind of speech that needed to be given there!

[in_cog_ni_to]

29. Q & A!!! n/t

[Fawke Em]

30. Question time!

This will be the best part!

[Cheese Sandwich]

31. That was different. Great different kind of speech. Thanks. nt

Edit Oh now he's taking questions. Cool

[in_cog_ni_to]

33. Here it is....ABORTION question. n/t

[Catherina]

36. OMG. He hit that one out of the ballpark and got major applause! n/t

[KoKo]

45. ...!

[Fawke Em]

34. Oooohhh! Pointing out how conservatives don't like government

except when it's about abortion.



And now explaining how the Republicans threw CHILDREN off the bus during budget hearings!!

GO BERNIE!!!

Breaking through the Faux "News" noise!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

35. GREAT way to answer that one. n/t

[demmiblue]

37. Bringing it regarding choice. Fuck yeah!

[bobbobbins01]

38. Liberty University showed some class.

And Bernie hit an absolute home run. I think this was the high point of his campaign so far. Daniel in the lions den.

[Fawke Em]

40. Respectful dialogue.

Thankful for making friends.

Beautiful!

And the crowd goes nutz...

[reformist2]

39. Getting this crowd to applaud that the government should do something for people, is a breakthrough.

Too many of them have been taught they are on their own in this life, it's just them and their families against the world.

The idea of participating in a democratically-elected government as if a member of a larger family is totally foreign to them, mainly because it's not in the Bible. We need a way of reaching out to them that makes them see government as not some sort of alien "give to Caesar" kind of thing, but as something we are all active participants in now.

[Catherina]

44. +1 n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

41. Don't pray for me, pray for everyone else and our country and the world.

Now, how can you not LOVE this man?

edit to add: That was an incredible answer to that question.

[liberal_at_heart]

42. That was a fantastic speech! It is time to stand up and demand justice.

[Autumn]

46. This was the most amazing event I have ever seen any Democratic candidate do.

Game changer. I think by speaking the plain unvarnished truth he opened some minds.

[NorthCarolina]

47. Bernie marches into the lions den

and comes out standing taller than ever.

Congratulations Bernie, the next President of these United Sates.

[Armstead]

48. HERE'S the event or playback on You Tube

Yu have to advance it in a few minutes because there's some"dead air" before the event.
