I can't keep up... Is the - Palin loving, RW fundie - BLM or not?

[whatchamacallit]

And are we still supposed to be supporting and praising her?

1. Who are you talking about? n/t

11. Oh hahaha, I'm loving this.Thank you! BUSTED.

I saw some reprehensible conservative fundy comments on one of their facebook pages yesterday that I still have up and planned to use but they were from friends so nothing that could be pinned on her. The information in that link is iron-clad however.

The first warning bell about these buffoons is why weren't they holding a vigil at the White House? Protesting institutional racism? Or protesting racists of the GOP? Hahaha. Busted.

Here's a pic about her that says a lot. I used it here in my first post back to DU. The evil of their political farce is what brought me back. Hahaha!



Marissa Janae Johnson and Mara Jacqueline Willaford are co-founders of the Black Lives Matter chapter in Seattle that interrupted Bernie Sanders today..

12. A fundy who supports Palin! I knew something wasn't right but didn't see that coming.

I rec'd your op in the Bernie group, welcome back Catherina!

[Catherina]

18. I didn't either. Palin! Too priceless lol

Thanks for the rec. I was really shocked because that wasn't a particularly good OP. I just wanted to to say hi, I'm back and with you guys lols.

Palin! How priceless.

2. She's BLM

And the main group hasn't disavowed her actions or stances so far (that I know of).

Some people are still trying hard to salvage the whole thing, but it's a disaster for BLM and team Clinton and possibly some RW support.

On the upside, it seems to have put the ball in Bernie's hands, and he's running with it. Symone is a huge addition to his team, and I think he's going to make huge gains in the near term from leading on the issue.

4. Yes she is.

A founding member, I do believe. And no, she doesn't deserve your support or praise. She's lost mine.

BLM just cut off their nose to spite their face, IMCPO.

You do not call a Jewish Presidential candidate and his supporters - "Useless, white supremacist Liberals" and expect support and praise in return. Apparently, they don't need or want our support or help. So be it.

6. Founding member of Seattle branch.

So she claims. But apparently anybody can claim to speak for BLM, and no-one has disavowed her. It would appear BLM's lack of leadership and control of message is going to marginalize them rather quickly.

[joshcryer]

5. She is a core BLM member.

And BLM overall has not denounced her (despite what people say about the "image" that she is portraying). They also believe that what she did was successful (though Sanders' team had clearly been working on the platform for some time now and that protest didn't make it magically happen).

[HooptieWagon]

7. I'm sure the platform had been worked on for a few weeks.

The disrupters had nothing to do with its release.

[joshcryer]

10. Yeah, most certainly planned before USC Columbia on August 15th.

The protest may have pushed it forward a bit. But other than that it was clearly going to happen.

8. link to this info?

Saw a petition online form BLM demanding the two woman apologize to Bernie.

[joshcryer]

13. Plenty of sources.

Twitter when it happened, a lot of people were using her hash tags (causing even more people to be upset).

Her FB page has loads of supporters cheering her (and she is extremely happy about how it went down): https://www.facebook.com/marissa.jenae.johnson

Importantly, there has been no apology or demands for an apology by anyone at the top of the BLM movement. You'd expect at least Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, or Opal Tometi to denounce it. They did not.

Alicia Garza in particular (one of the founders of BLM) has actually told Sanders supporters to leave her alone: https://www.facebook.com/the.one.and.only.aliciagarza/posts/10206369396609524

Patrisse Cullors was actually there at the Sanders / O'Malley protest: http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/248430-black-lives-matter-protesters-halt-omalley-event

20. There is a lot of misinformation being put out on Alicia's site.

[m-lekktor]

9. she is to be praised because (according to the Hillary camp spin , all of them on message)

if it weren't for her , Bernie wouldn't have added his new racial justice platform.

[beam me up scottie]

14. Ikr?

He came up with it immediately after it happened!

We owe everything to Marissa, Bernie didn't care about poc before her!

[JackInGreen]

16. Make no mistake

You're going to see that meme spread, "Marisa, the new Rosa Parks" like wild fire by militants.

[beam me up scottie]

17. A few maybe.

But I think many will be afraid of her baggage. That fb page is all over the place now.

[HooptieWagon]

15. Yes, I've seen that talking point parroted.

It takes more than a couple hours to formulate a platform. HRH fan club looks pretty pathetic and desparate spewing that line. Then again, they've hitched their wagon to a fundy republican Palin supporter, so nothing surprises me.

[QC]

19. Well, I would say you should ask her fan club, but

they have all vanished. Haven't seen hide nor hair of them since their hero was outed as a right wing fundamentalist troll.
