Killer Mike Delivers Powerful Speech At Bernie Sanders Rally In Atlanta

[Cheese Sandwich]

"I have no time... to relive the Reagan years.

I have no desire to see us elect our own Margaret Thatcher.

I am here as a propenent for a political revolution that says health care is a right of every citizen.

I am here because working class and poor people deserve a chance at economic freedom."

MIC and Wall St. are at the core of this country's problems.

[pacalo]

[wendylaroux]

[wendylaroux]

47. ohhh nice!! thank you so much :)

[appalachiablue]

56. Fantastic, I love it. Thank you!

[appalachiablue]

61. Are you doing an OP for this? If not I'd really like to, it's so inspiring. Thanks.

The image would be great on a jeans jacket. I'm trying to find mine to make it into Bernie gear.

[fbc]

63. It's not my image. It's from the Women For Bernie Sanders website.

http://www.women4bernie.us/

They have a bunch of cool stuff in their "memes" slideshow.

(I wish I had that kind of artistic talent)

If you want to make an OP, I'm sure they wouldn't mind the publicity

[appalachiablue]

64. Thanks, I'll check out their website and give the OP a go :)

[Phlem]

21. Beautiful!!

[Fritz Walter]

22. Out-fucking-standing!

I especially love the Margaret Thatcher reference.
Nailed. It.

[JDPriestly]

43. Yes!

[CentralMass]

23. Nice :-)

[GitRDun]

[bigwillq]

25. K and R

31. "someone who has spent the last 50 years radically fighting for your rights and mine"

Hell yeah he has!

[appalachiablue]

36. Mike said it, the Truth of Bernie's commitment to people & civil rights for half a century.

What we're constantly told is old, irrelevant, doesn't count and don't even mention it in 'The Here and Now'.

[cui bono]

33. "I'm not here to talk about a dream that we think is unattainable so we settle for less."

That's the spirit!

You should NEVER settle before you fight for the ideal. That's one of the biggest problems with Dems right now. The "pragmatism", the defeatist attitude that we shouldn't strive for what we want, just take what the GOP will give us.

Fuck that shit.

[BeanMusical]

54. +1 Fuck that shit!

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

37. K-R!

[Duckfan]

38. Damn. Now thats an introduction.

And I thought Nina Turner could fire up a crowd in Ohio. This dude just out did her. This is too good to watch only one time. This is my third.

[Jack Rabbit]

40. K/R (101)

[JDPriestly]

42. Wow! He says what is in my heart.

[Duckfan]

44. Somebody needs to make sure this piece gets a few million eyeballs to watch it

I just now thought of this. I don't have any social media, but if you do spread it around. I feel this will without a doubt fire up a lot of people.

[in_cog_ni_to]

45. What Killer Mike said!

Incredible speech!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[gregcrawford]

46. Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!

[Plucketeer]

48. We need MORE of these TRUTHS

Spoken out loudly by such as Killer here.

WAKE UP dear disenfranchised folks! The anointed one is a puppet of Wall St. and will work to make sure you still have access to the thievery of the PayDay Loan industry! Senator Bernie Sanders will work AGAINST those legalized robbers.

[valerief]

49. I'm an old lady and never heard of Killer Mike, but he was terrific. I don't know his reach, but

his message and delivery were top notch.

[Admiral Loinpresser]
