Elijah Cummings was booed and jeered at while he spoke

[obamanut2012]

REALLY? Really?

Disgusting and shameful. And, that's not even talking about the optics of a bunch of mainly white folks booing and jeering a black man as he speaks.

They need to pull their creds and appoint the subs. Now.

[MFM008]

1. i am floored

like my dad used to say, get the hook.
get the net.
pull their passes
give them a bottle of water
send them into 100+ heat.
goodbye Felicia.

[obamanut2012]

19. I am upset and I am angry

[yeoman6987]

27. They booed mr. Justice too

But not as much as representatives Cummings.

[FarPoint]

29. Can they be moved to the basement?

Enough of the floor disruption...makes no sense...we need to see exactly who they are.... something smells.

[obamanut2012]

32. They can be ejected, and should be

[FarPoint]

35. As the Great Captain Picard would say....

" Make it so."

[Chitown Kev]

52. Or up under the stairs like Spot?

[RKP5637]

2. FFS, unbelievable! n/t

[redstatebluegirl]

3. Bernie is reaping what he has sowed the past year. They feel empowered to shout down an American

hero from the Civil Rights Movement, one much more important than theirs.

[pnwmom]

9. So far, I'm afraid this is true. I hope Bernie can pull his supporters together -- fast. n.t

[obamanut2012]

21. Agreed

[LongtimeAZDem]

26. Yep (nt)

[Beausoir]

51. Yep. Senator BS encouraged this all along.

[emulatorloo]

4. I'm kinda of wondering if that's the endgame

Get their creds pulled, then go to the media talk shit about they have been 'silenced' by evil Dem Party

But that's the conspiracy theorist in me lol

[Maru Kitteh]

13. Stomp their feet and hold their breath till they turn purple.

Fucking Trump supporters!

[OnDoutside]

15. Not if Bernie does it to them. But he won't.

[JI7]

18. their end game is for Clinton and other dems to lose

[obamanut2012]

23. yup

[RonniePudding]

5. Eject them. Now!

[liberalnarb]

6. Hear hear!

Its horrible. There is no need for this. It makes the trumpence convention look civilized.

[RKP5637]

14. It really does. It gives Trump stuff to use against Hillary. WTF is wrong with these

damn fools.

[apcalc]

30. What is wrong with the fools?

You answered your own question.

[RKP5637]

31. Yep! n/t

[Starry Messenger]

7. What a missed opportunity to hear a wonderful man.

[RKP5637]

16. I always love to hear him speak. n/t

[obamanut2012]

25. Exactly what I thought of, and Sarandon berating her

[RKP5637]

33. I liked Bernie, I voted for him, but now is the time to move forward and support

Hillary. Asses like this are making democrats look bad and Trump will likely use outtakes of crap like this to use against Hillary.
This country could do a hell of a lot worse than Hillary for president.

[geek tragedy]

34. +!

[Thinkingabout]

10. These are not interested in the DNC, just disrupting. The only thing this should

Accomplish is more stringent rules against disrupters. Everyone has a right to speak but should not be denying the speaker from having a say. It is oligarchy at its worst moments.

[Maru Kitteh]

11. Agreed! These anti-Democratic ASSWIPES need to be ejected fromt he Dem convention

SHAME ON THEM.

[Karen_J]

12. rude people suck

I like Bernie, but I'm getting very tired of his supporters.

[liberalnarb]

22. Thanks.

You know they don't represent all the millions of us.

[Karen_J]

50. :-/

I'm one of them.

[procon]

17. Does it look like they mostly booing people of color? nt

[liberalnarb]

20. No.

They've been rudely interrupting everyone.

[Cha]

28. they are such ******* ******!

[NurseJackie]

37. You misspelled *******. It's * before * except after *!

[Cha]

38. Thanks grammer.. eh spelling police!

lol!

[Maru Kitteh]

41. Ha! It's the dot dot dot grammer police

They get ya every time.

[Cha]

43. Maru!

[NurseJackie]

36. It was a disgusting display. Their credibility is GONE! *POOF* Just like that! We are ...

... witnessing the DEATH of the so-called "Bernie Revolution". Nobody will take them seriously any more.

I guess that's something to be thankful for.

[Maru Kitteh]

39. The people excusing this behavior are gross Trump/Putin supporters.

[NurseJackie]

44. And a former State-Senator from Ohio.

[Maru Kitteh]

45. No difference. I guess she's good with a Trump/Putin win as well.

Not really surprised.

Ben Jealous on the other hand delivered an excellent speech. Nina should take some notes and learn how to have some class.

[NurseJackie]

46. I'm very surprised at Ben Jealous. Not at all what I was expecting.

[Maru Kitteh]

48. I was quite heartened at his speech.

I was a little nervous at first also, but he was awesome. As I said - class. Nina should get some.

What a disgrace and disaster that woman is.

[panader0]

40. It's because he voted for the TPP plank in the platform.

[obamanut2012]

47. So?

[Blue_Tires]

55. Hint: Politicians won't vote the way we want them to 100% of the time...

Even Sanders can't meet that standard in the Senate...

[sufrommich]

42. I will never forget this disgusting behavior. Ever.nt

[ellie]

49. That is absolutely

un-fucking-acceptable. They need to be removed. We don't boo civil rights leaders.

[Jack Bone]

56. Bill Cosby's a civil rights leader...

I'd boo him

[BumRushDaShow]

59. WTF does that have to do with Cummings?

This is the type of thing that POC are talking about regarding what happens on DU and a complete lack of clue.

[Jack Bone]

61. It simply was my reply to the blanket statement that was...

"We don't boo civil rights leaders"

I'd boo Bill Cosby...hopefully, you would too!

[BumRushDaShow]

62. Bill Cosby is a comedian and actor

and your conflating HIS criminal behavior with Cummings' dedication to public service and history to get to where he is, is FUCKING disgusting. While Elijah Cummings attempted to tell the convention attendees his background and guiding experiences that lead him to seek public office (eventually to be the ranking member on the Oversight Committee), the fucking single-issue scum attempted to drown him out.

[auntpurl]

64. WELL SAID.

[msanthrope]

65. What the fuck is this racist bullshit? nt

[ellie]

66. Do you really equate

Elijah Cummings and Bill Cosby as being on the same level?

[still_one]

53. Yes it was disgusting and shameful. I also believe that by the start of the Convention

tomorrow, the only ones who will be engaging in that type of rudeness will be the BOB segment, and they will NOT be representative of the vast number of Sanders' supporters

[obamanut2012]

57. They were pretty bad later last night

So, I hope you are right.

My favorites were the DELEGATES telling the cameras they were voting for Jill Stein. They should have their reds revoked.

[still_one]

60. I watched the convention on non-commercial television, so I didn't see that.

I would find that hard to believe if that represented a majority view among Bernie supporters.

[Frances]

54. I am so sorry that these people who booed

are so ignorant of the past

and that they are hurting their cause, assuming that they really have one

[workinclasszero]

58. Sickening

I'm sure Trump and his KKK allies were loving it!

[RBInMaine]

63. They were shouting about the TPP, but it was still VERY rude. These CHILDREN need to stop!
