FYI The people who disrupted the rally yesterday are about to have their own rally.

[nolabear]

The BLM group who disrupted the event yesterday will have one at 6pm. The local news is going to cover it but I don't see anything online yet. I'll let y'all know if it gets interesting.

Btw my thread got locked yesterday because it was apparently in the wrong GD (here) so I don't know how this will go. I think it's bigger than primaries and I see a lot more on the topic but you'll note I'm mentioning no candidates.

1. Pity I didn't hear about this earlier. I wanted to interrupt and talk about the plight..

...of the mayflies.

[bettyellen]

4. black lives and mayflies- all so funny to you, eh?

lovely.

[BlueJazz]

7. You're seeing what you want to see. As for myself, I wouldn't want to ...

..comment on it.

[bettyellen]

9. you already made a flip comment likening BLM to concerns about nasty black flies

Hope you feel really awesome about that.
:sideeye:

[romanic]

10. You are reaching for the stars.

[roguevalley]

14. no he isn't. those who disrupted are Palin bots and have no

interest in advancing AF's. They deserve mockery because they are destroying the goals and reputation of blm.

[BlueJazz]

16. No, Dear Lady, I am likening the 3 women who rudely interrupted a nice gentleman..

..that was about to talk about social security, to a subject that was completely out of place...at the moment.

Their subject matter, though important to all feeling people, was degraded by their total inconsideration for the seniors and people who took the time to come to the event.
Those of us who have given money and time to such an honorable cause (as BLM), were put off by the disrespect that the 3 participants showed while demanding the same respect for themselves.

In short..don't be silly enough to degrade your own cause.

[bettyellen]

20. well, someone should get you a fainting couch, LOL.

[BlueJazz]

22. ! Good one !

[sheshe2]

26. "Dear Ladies"

Are not allowed to speak out to the "nice gentlemen"?

K~

Lol!



Actually, your "Dear Ladies" comment is condescending, yet you knew that.

Those of us who have given money and time to such an honorable cause (as BLM), were put off by the disrespect that the 3 participants showed while demanding the same respect for themselves.

I find it sad you are so put off by the disrespect you say you receive. You talk about all the money you have given, for a cause.

Silly, BLM. They are dying, talk about disrespect? Your giving money is NOT the same as them giving their lives.

Wake the hell up!!!!!

[BlueJazz]

28. My comment was Dear Lady not ladies. You are being hysterical but you're used to that ..

...isn't that true.....miss?

[sheshe2]

32. Lol...

Just had to check your profile.

Surprise. male. I am shocked! Shocked I say.

My comment was Dear Lady not ladies. You are being hysterical but you're used to that ..

...isn't that true.....miss?

I am a woman, therefore hysterical?????

Who the hell says Dear Lady anymore ...Who says...

isn't that true.....miss?

[BlueJazz]

33. Oh lighten up. You been on this board long enough to know I'm being satyric.

Christ, everybody is in such a pissy mood the past 2 weeks. There's fights about who's candidate sent some stinking E-mail through a wrong server. (As if China and a few other countries don't read some of our "secret" mail anyway). No wonder most sane people don't run for office...

[sheshe2]

34. These days....

Du sucks and I am not sure they will recover.

Please don't tell me to lighten up. My friends here are being alert stalked and run off this board. Blue Jazz, I no longer have a clue who is being funny anymore.

People who I love and respect have had it here. They are leaving.

I am to and it will be cheered by many. I found a place to post. It is far more progressive than DU.

Not leaving all together, I have friends here. Just less.

[BlueJazz]

36. Oh...OK...I understand. Maybe I don't take all this as serious as I should. I DO..

...know about missing friends though. I've lost a lot of them in Australia...not lost...but..ah you know...grow apart.
Take care, sheshe2. You're one of the gold ones.

[sheshe2]

38. Thank you.

[Boudica the Lyoness]

12. Judging by how aggressive they were yesterday

I think you wouldn't get out of there alive - no matter what you interrupted them to talk about.

[BlueJazz]

19. "Give me the microphone or give me death" *

[George II]

23. So you enjoy making fun of all of this, huh? Really sad

[Skittles]

24. they are inviting ridicule

THAT is what is sad

[BlueJazz]

25. Read all my posts on this thread.

[PeaceNikki]

29. Yeah, I'm sure you would have followed through with that.

[BlueJazz]

31. Actually, there's a decent chance that I would do something like that. I'm a Atheist..

...not afraid to die, but know it's coming down the road anyway. I've been fairly close before to being shot and slashed.
Don't feel I'm that tough at all, just easy-going about the end of life. Hey..what better way than go out on the 6:00 news.??
'course...easy to say that now..

[romanic]

2. Where are they holding it at?

An empty parking lot?

[Hydra]

3. Should be interesting to see the content n/t

[romanic]

5. Is Sarah Palin gonna be there?

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

6. When does Ben Carson speak?

"And you're attacked in many respects because of your race. You're not supposed to think like this, and supposed to talk like this. A lot of white liberals just don't like it, do they?" said Levin, host of the syndicated radio show.

"Well, they're the most racist people there are. You know, they put you in a little category, a little box -- you have to think this way. How could you dare come off the plantation?" responded Carson.

[SolutionisSolidarity]

17. I wonder what his DU name is.

[PeoViejo]

8. What happened?

Did anyone show?

[glinda]

11. Yes. What happened?

[romanic]

13. Here's a link to the rally btw.

It's for the one year anniversary of Michael Brown. I guess a report of the actual event will be shown soon.

30. Majority white crowd, looked like about 40 peep.

Maybe half looked like curious passer bys.
The speaker in the video was babbling on and on about flies and milk. It's a good thing Sanders spent a few weeks working on a racial equality addition to his platform. Something needs to change, and it's going to take a serious person to effect that change. Doesn't look like BLM Seattle could elect a dog catcher...they're less of a movement than Occupy.

[Comrade Grumpy]

35. I saw 40,000 march for immigrant rights in Seattle a few years ago.

[HooptieWagon]

15. The black lesbian fundy christian republicans for Palin rally?

I hope they can can find a space to hold all 5 of them.

[Peregrine Took]

18. Oooooh! That's for me! Where do I send my check??

[Doctor_J]

21. Maybe some Bernistas should go and commandeer the stage and call them "black separatists"

they should be able to take it, right?

[Lifelong Protester]

27. Iam "old" and was there to hear about

Social Security and Medicare.

[nolabear]

37. I'm sorry I abandoned the thread. Life. Here's a link to the rally coverage.

I think there's a lot of confusion over who's who and what they want. Some of the coverage says they were protesting the existence of advanced placement classes at Garfield High as racist. Sheesh.
