what I know is that Bernie has been protested twice..... virtualobserver Aug 2015 #20

Bernie shunned the BLM activists the first time, second time he just left R B Garr Aug 2015 #23

If you are defending the shutdown on Saturday jfern Aug 2015 #24

"defending the shutdown". That statement is what is hopeless. R B Garr Aug 2015 #31

the free pass for Hillary shows that it is all politics.... virtualobserver Aug 2015 #41

Hillary asked them for a meeting. Bernie blew them off. R B Garr Aug 2015 #60

He has been meeting with Black Lives Matter activists Luminous Animal Aug 2015 #80

they wouldn't even shake his hand virtualobserver Aug 2015 #27

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

politics virtualobserver Aug 2015 #42

"psychotic lunacy" R B Garr Aug 2015 #37

they were not blm restorefreedom Aug 2015 #49

Sigh. I think this has been debunked already. They were BLM. n/t R B Garr Aug 2015 #54

then they set back their own cause restorefreedom Aug 2015 #67

As a progressive Spacedog1973 Aug 2015 #75

they got attention restorefreedom Aug 2015 #79

I agree that attention Spacedog1973 Aug 2015 #106

Nobody knows the future Spacedog1973 Aug 2015 #117

Bernie has been working with BLM activists since Net Roots Nation. O'Malley and Hillary have Luminous Animal Aug 2015 #90

so if they have all been meeting with blm restorefreedom Aug 2015 #92

BLM is a flat organization. Not all chapters know what every activist is doing. Luminous Animal Aug 2015 #94

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 doubt bernie was the epitome of composure and civility. restorefreedom Aug 2015 #97

You are welcome! And cheers my Bernie compatriot! Luminous Animal Aug 2015 #98

I don't call anyone a name. Fawke Em Aug 2015 #112

Except you were the one who told me to shut up. R B Garr Aug 2015 #115

The first time, his aids met with BLM activists, as planned. The second time, he left when his Luminous Animal Aug 2015 #81

Just yesterday on MSNBC, a BLM representative said that Bernie R B Garr Aug 2015 #116

And they certainly won't shove her... kath Aug 2015 #76

the sec svc dudes and ladies restorefreedom Aug 2015 #93

K&R I hope this is a big step that will help get #BlackLivesMatter's message out lunamagica Aug 2015 #4

K&R mcar Aug 2015 #7

Thanks for the Laugh. n/t Skwmom Aug 2015 #9

Weird that you would find it funny. SonderWoman Aug 2015 #10

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

umm. Bernie fans gets their wish. I am glad she will be meeting with them. riversedge Aug 2015 #11

Obviously it's all George Soros fault. SonderWoman Aug 2015 #12

No, it's Obama's fault! RoccoR5955 Aug 2015 #19

Obviously it's a strategy session Bobbie Jo Aug 2015 #65

How much of a donation did they have to commit to? n/t RoccoR5955 Aug 2015 #21

It's not news when Sanders meets with one jfern Aug 2015 #22

Is one what? SonderWoman Aug 2015 #30

BLM activist jfern Aug 2015 #91

She's a mere "token" or so I've been told on DU. arcane1 Aug 2015 #33

One what? BooScout Aug 2015 #34

i think she is JI7 Aug 2015 #48

I know she isn't BooScout Aug 2015 #50

There's not a national register or anything Recursion Aug 2015 #87

Excellent Agnosticsherbet Aug 2015 #26

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

this :) azurnoir Aug 2015 #111

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

lol m-lekktor Aug 2015 #73

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

Well of course she will isn't that the point of show earlier on Tuesday azurnoir Aug 2015 #107
