Would have thought someone should be convicted without any evidence.

The top threads all have something about a Clinton conspiracy.

The Bernie faithful need to clean their own house and do some soul searching instead of making accusations with zero evidence backing them up.

I think the women who protested are part of an ultra-left splinter group, and the main BLM-Seattle FB page has disavowed the action today. https://twitter.com/yennifere20/status/630192283195977729

I was tempted to post an OP in GDP to get this sorted out, but I have my doubts that reason is going to win the day with the atmosphere in there. I wish people wouldn't post a bunch of racist bullshit whenever something like this happens. I'm a Hillary supporter, but it hurts me to see the Black DUers have to read all of that shit, it's terrible to know what people are capable of doing here.

Sanders supporters: Please- take a deep breath; step away from the computer, and find some productive behavior to engage in.

I'm going to take my own advice now . . .

He is going to attract more protests by his refusal to address this issue properly and with respect. He and his advisers are showing their white privilege and it is not attractive.

I have seen several posts complaining about BLM not attacking HRC. These posters are either not paying attention or are trolls trying to cause trouble. HRC has clearly come out in support of BLM, so there is no need to protest at her events. HRC gets it. Bernie is still floundering on this issue. It is not just economics when black people no matter their economic background are in more danger in this country.

BS should have spoken at the event instead of leaving. I doubt she would physically attacked him. That's why security is there. Waiting for her to leave the stage and carry on but he chose other wise.

A large, very large, contingent of the Sanders supporters are just Hillary haters. I refuse to give in to their hate. In fact it makes me want to double down in support for Hillary and I have to keep reminding myself that I support her for good reasons, not just to thwart their hate. Fortunately, that's not too hard.

The BLM thing just shows that it's not that easy to run for President. Hillary and her people can handle it. I don't think Bernie's group can.

Also she's still the odds on fav for the nomination.

they can get to at this point. Good for them! If I were getting married and they stopped the ceremony to loudly protest the epidemic of police killing unarmed black men, I'd say "I do", give them the floor and invite them to the reception.

These people are at the forefront of making some serious social change and now is their time. Lives depend on it and it's totally insulting to suggest that a white politician is pulling their strings and using them to harass an opponent. That is a real slap in the face of the people who want us all to know that Black Lives Matter and an insult to Hillary Clinton.

and the Hillary Clinton conspiracies on DU are equal to any reich wing hate radio BS or teabag site.

Hate to think how bad its going to get as the months go by and Bernie stays in the polling cellar.


I guess freepers can come here and get the latest Hillary hate, hot off the presses.
