"Oh, we just couldn't get in!! Oh well."

"Oh, the Secret Service just won't let them in even though Clinton asked. Honest!!"

"Oh, we'll meet privately. But BLM wants no cameras. You know how shy they are about publicity".

YOU are trying to conflate the first instance with the second instance for sympathy R B Garr Aug 2015 #35

"stubbornly ignored them" Sorry....free pass for Hillary virtualobserver Aug 2015 #38

No, it was actually a free pass for Bernie, he just blew it. n/t R B Garr Aug 2015 #39

i don't think calling someone out restorefreedom Aug 2015 #95

I think that calling out the rudeness rather than embracing your candidates composure and grace of Luminous Animal Aug 2015 #96

No really, thanks for the laugh. Agony Aug 2015 #18

people aren't laughing at "the serious issue" m-lekktor Aug 2015 #25

It was a pretty vague post. SonderWoman Aug 2015 #29

It was obvious they were going to target Hillary. R B Garr Aug 2015 #28

Was it obvious they'd be this incompetent while "targeting" Clinton? jeff47 Aug 2015 #45

Common sense tells me this: R B Garr Aug 2015 #53

That would explain the first part. But the protectee is not a slave to the secret service. jeff47 Aug 2015 #55

I wonder if she will be able to tell the Secret Service what to do when she is Prez? virtualobserver Aug 2015 #58

My favorite touch is some of the most prolific pro-Clinton DU posters jeff47 Aug 2015 #61

I've been saying for weeks that Hillary's secret service detail would not let anyone near her. Stellar Aug 2015 #40

Pshaw, it's much more fun to try to discredit a group trying to save the lives of minority members stevenleser Aug 2015 #46

you are the master, but this is unspinnable virtualobserver Aug 2015 #63

Zero spin in my post, just brutal honesty. Nt stevenleser Aug 2015 #77

Sure! That's why the Secret Service kept them out of the private meeting! jeff47 Aug 2015 #57

Funny how things went from very public to no public in just a couple of days. nt Snotcicles Aug 2015 #68

The private meeting? Stellar Aug 2015 #83

Great. Link to Clinton's plan. (nt) jeff47 Aug 2015 #100

Still waiting for hard copy. Stellar Aug 2015 #110

I'm sure they will be asking Hillary probing questions about the things she has done to (oh, I mean kath Aug 2015 #43

Well, we could have heard about them, but BLM said no reporters. jeff47 Aug 2015 #59

I'm thinking they were going to be so hard on her.... virtualobserver Aug 2015 #64

Funny how that works. nt Snotcicles Aug 2015 #70

DEAR DU: This is good news! SonderWoman Aug 2015 #62

My problem with this is apparently a lot of people think I'm really stupid. jeff47 Aug 2015 #69

Good news for HRC and those who dislike Bernie. aikoaiko Aug 2015 #72

Yeah, WHOOOOOOOSSSSSHHH kath Aug 2015 #74

Why the big deal now when she has actually been quietly meeting with Black Lives Matter activists Luminous Animal Aug 2015 #82

Last week she met with health care workers, then... Motown_Johnny Aug 2015 #78

Is she going to apologize for being the candidate of "hardworking people, white people" in 2007? eridani Aug 2015 #101

I hope she also expands on daredtowork Aug 2015 #104

How Convenient. n/t silenttigersong Aug 2015 #105
