it turns out the BLM protester is NOT a supporter of Sarah Palin

[rsexaminer]

Despite reports saying otherwise, Marissa Johnson, the Black Lives Matter activist who interrupted Bernie Sanders, does not support Sarah Palin or the Tea Party, She spoke about this in a brand new interview, criticizing "white liberals" for enabling a "white supremacist society."

1. she still hates white liberals as much as Sarah...she just isn't a "supporter"

[99th_Monkey]

2. I didn't expect her to say, "oh yah, I'm totally for Sarah Palin

did she say anything about how that pesky SP button got on her back-pack?

I'm guessing not.

[marble falls]

3. Her position evolved.

[Bjorn Against]

19. She evolved from Palin to Farrakhan

These are two people who on the surface appear to be very different but they have one very big thing in common, they are both trolls. If a person's purpose is to sow division then this "evolution" makes sense, it has nothing to do with ideology and everything to do with creating conflict.

4. She's still insane I see

Sarah or not, she's got a few screws loose.

5. I just hope her 15 minutes ends soon

6. The $64,000 question is this:

When Marissa Johnson said:

"GOP shoulda groomed me right then...now they gotta see me on the other side *shrugs*"

Who is "the other side" that she's working for?

7. That quote only makes sense if she's being payrolled by a democrat.

Smart money is on Lincoln Chafee.

[jfern]

9. LOL, that must be why his campaign is broke

[FSogol]

15. Maybe he paid in Metric dollars?

[winter is coming]

11. I don't recall Chafee having a rep for dirty tricks. n/t

[magical thyme]

12. well his inexperience would explain why he hired a batshit crazy nitwit

to pull one off.

[Maedhros]

13. What does Lincoln Chafee have to gain from attacking Bernie?

That makes no sense.

[bobbobbins01]

14. It was a joke.

Jokes don't have to make sense.

[Maedhros]

23. Understood.[n/t]

[FSogol]

16. Sorry, but LOL. n/t

[Oilwellian]

8. Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam

She was better off sticking with Sarah.

[Supersedeas]

27. no the Minister has a more targeted agenda

[NV Whino]

10. She might as well be

She has that same 15 minutes of greed thing going.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

17. Based on her word? I don't think so.

[The Straight Story]

18. Is she some sort of spokeswoman for BLM, their leader maybe?

She says "We" and "Us" a lot as though she represents a lot more people than just herself.

She also says she is a Christian extremist, which doesn't really define.

All this goes to the question - if you criticize her are you attacking black people, women, or christians or....an individual and their actions?

[mmonk]

20. Anyone outside the Bernie campaign says Bernie and his supporters are attacking.

You haven't gotten the rules straight yet?

[The Straight Story]

22. Sanders v. Clinton around here sounds like Obama v romney at times

Love one, hate the other, and only every find the worst you can about them.

Granted, romney was terrible so I get it there, but here we are with two candidates we can all find things to love about and our, in general, on 'our' side.

The 'best' one is, imho, the one you have the most trust in to do the most progressive job. I don't like many things about Clinton, but there are many things I do. Compared to those on the other side of the aisle she is awesome. Sanders isn't perfect either, hell, no one we will to get to run is.

It all seems a bit over the top how some handle the primaries here, as though saying positive or negative about someone's position, actions, etc, is a personal attack on them. This leads to more angry attacks against the opposing candidate to get back at the person you see as 'on the other side'.

It boils down to this:

Whether you are poor, white, black, hispanic, American Indian, gay, straight, whatever - no one on the right is going to push for any progressive measures for you. They will push against the epa, education, unions, and spend more on wars and the rich.

Sometimes I think we forget who the real enemy is in our haste to 'win' and argument.

[Starry Messenger]

21. Duh.

[AgingAmerican]

24. Too late she already confessed

nt

[sibelian]

25. She doesn't need to be.

She can be perfectly well understood on the grounds of the rest of what she thinks.

[ShrimpPoboy]

26. +1

Black lives matter whether the message comes from a Republican, Democrat, or anything else. I don't think her other political opinions should make a difference.
