I don't want anyone using those lyrics--certainly not anyone running as a Democrat. According to Facebook, the original source is quite reputable, but we shall see.

There is enough real world issues to disqualify voting for BS. No sense making things up. That's what they do.

The original from YouTube:



Video of the full event. Skip to 22:30.


The music in that one sounds overdubbed, so hard to tell if that was the event's music or something someone added.

The Fox version, which has no music. Skip to 2:35.

Fox must have cut the NSFW lyrics and the Sander's campaign dubbed in the weird techno....
Well, lets hope the MSM gets to the bottom of this....

did they know ahead of time what the music choice was? My understanding is that it was a live feed, though it obviously could have been dubbed over later.

The DMX one is the only one that even sounds natural.

....for a number of seconds and it comes back on after the music ended.

One of the first two may have been dubbed (the original) but not the other one. That's how sound systems work when media is carrying it live. I've been to enough of these rallies to know that.

Since he says the same thing over and over again, could this be from 3 different rallies?

Just kidding. If someone faked the video, it's a shitty thing to do. I'd like to believe he wouldn't have that kind of music playing at his rallies.

It's very possible Clueless Bernie played the song at his rally.

My second-favorite part: not only is this an antigay and antitrans song, Mr. Perfect spent weeks attacking Hillary over "superpredators" then used a song with a prison reference in it.

The second one sounds fake.

The third is totally cut out!

So far, by your links, I think that what's being reported is true. He walked out to a Rap song.

and doesn't properly vett it's staff and volunteers.

Stolen data, logos, union membership.

Does anyone think Sanders picks out the music played? No.

Does anyone who isn't one of his Bros find it hard to believe his volunteers and staff are subpar & inexperienced?

Here’s more from the Sanders supporter:

“So long story short, this was a social experiment, and everyone seem to fall for it. Im a Bernie supporter but one of the main things that I set to prove is the medias ability to rewrite headlines and make everything seem twisted. The video was a joke at first, I imagined a 70 year old man walking out to a song that has a hard intro (subtract the homophobic lyrics, which is why it isn’t in the video) but as i thought about it, i knew everyone would go nuts, i just want to give a major shout out to boy culture for keeping a level head about the situation. The video was faked, if you’re going to support a candidate dont do it cause of a viral video, and if it sparks you’re interest, let the flame burn a lot longer than just voting and walking away, we as american citizens have more power than we think, and to all those people thinking they got a 1up on Bernie….I say this…”

I don't mind if 'we never hear the end of it' because there was no way for the average person to know they might have been forged, and far worse things have happened in politics.

It's not like Sanders was on the verge of winning and then this brought him down!
