Dirty-tricks right out of the Lee Atwater playbook. Will BLM heckle HRC? leveymg Jul 2015 #2

I'm sure they would have if she'd been there. nt msrizzo Jul 2015 #6

Hillary wasn't there - so she wasn't heckled. Convenient. No mud splattered on her. leveymg Jul 2015 #8

Lol! zappaman Jul 2015 #11

LOL ... 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2015 #12

Uhmmm, yeah. okasha Jul 2015 #70

I take umbrage at the fact that you would accuse Black Lives Matter of nefarious behavior. DemocratSinceBirth Jul 2015 #23

Are angels or devils the only options? leveymg Jul 2015 #32

Saying folks are guilty until proven innocent betrays a totalitarian mindset. DemocratSinceBirth Jul 2015 #36

If these individuals purpose was to pursuade or shame those who oppress AAs, their choice of targets leveymg Jul 2015 #57

Cui bono? DemocratSinceBirth Jul 2015 #60

Well, it can only benefit her or the Republicans. Take your pick. leveymg Jul 2015 #63

She's crushing him in the polls...Why would she risk engaging in dirty tricks and getting exposed ? DemocratSinceBirth Jul 2015 #66

Because she's not. He's growing, she's shrinking. Sanders is so new that negative opinions haven't leveymg Jul 2015 #75

so was Codepink also right out of Lee Atwater? KittyWampus Jul 2015 #25

Codepink targets politicians, officials, and organizations which start, support and execute wars. leveymg Jul 2015 #39

I'm fairly certain BlackLivesMatter protestors also think they're protesting a war…. KittyWampus Jul 2015 #44

But, unlike HRC, Petraeus and the other CodePink targets, Bernie isn't leading a war. leveymg Jul 2015 #53

Hammer meet nail. nt snagglepuss Jul 2015 #58

Like I said, I can't keep you from taking this personally. LiberalAndProud Jul 2015 #55

Taking it personally. Le Taz Hot Jul 2015 #56
