I think that's the same rhetoric which was used on MLK in the past, wasn't it or maybe those who marched against Viet Nam.
The differences between you and your ilk and ours is astounding. You would prefer that people don't protest against a woman who they see as corrupt? So much for freedom of speech. The Patriot Act called, it says hi to Hillary.

He wants to be president about as much as I do. He just recognized that something had to be done, and I'm very grateful.

obvious in his unfailing good manners and genteel demeanor in his debate performances. I don't know how anyone could have missed it. The fact that he's only taking on the burden of the Presidency for the benefit of his fellow man should have been seen as an inspiration to the New York voters (who are very big on self-appointed redeemers). Sadly, however, it seems that a whole lot of them haven't yet noticed his altriusm. Perhaps they'll change their minds if another little bird comes down to confirm it before April 19.

President since Bill smoked his first cigar in the White House, that was Hillary . Bernie's the one who was anti war and fought for Civil rights while she was all up in Goldwater's campaign We can and will equate Bernie with the civil rights and anti-war movements all we want to. Your outrage is fucking noted.

Bernie is the person with the integrity, character and sense of purpose that not only America needs but the world as well.

They did not surround and yell at the candidate. They simply threw money. It was a pretty smart protest.

To be showered with mere singles must have been exasperating.

Couldn't the hippy, pinko-commie protesters have come up with some gold leaf and caviar at the very least?

This is most extremely useful for society. And furthermore I'm sure people picked up that money and used it.

For a small investment, they snagged a story on CNN and it's going viral on social media.

The media exposure alone is worth six figures, easily.

And what great symbolism--showing that money is "thrown around" in our current corrupt-campaign finance system that has morphed Hillary into a and bought-and-paid for vending machine for powerful special interests. Anytime they need something--they know where to go!
