The good news, Bernie, is if you decide to have protesters forcibly removed from your events

[whatchamacallit]

you'll have universal support for it. Don't be a coward, make a prepared statement and get rid of them as fast as you can.

Note, I don't advocate this response to BLM or other groups. I just want to acknowledge Hillary and her supporters have now legitimized this course of action.

1. Oh grow up. I think your post makes you look silly

[whatchamacallit]

3. Of course you do

[Scootaloo]

13. Thanks for sharing your opinion.

[Phlem]

30. unno, are you concerned?

Isn't she the standard bearer?

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

2. Screw that, I think he should try to arrange a speech at the same school, and invite the group up on

stage to speak with him. Give them equal time, hell, give them more time if they want. Come into their space and spend time listening, not just talking at them.

[NCTraveler]

4. I can't for the life of me...

Figure out what problem you could have with what happened. Your stretching amazingly far while insinuating others are stretching. This is what trying too hard looks like.

[whatchamacallit]

6. Because we all know

Hillary supporters would savage him for doing that. Hope that helps.

[NCTraveler]

8. No, I would not.

But please see what you just did. You just made an EXCUSE for your own op.

[whatchamacallit]

10. Maybe you wouldn't

but plenty would. I didn't "excuse" my op, there's nothing to excuse, I explained it.

[luvspeas]

26. yup!....n/t

[djean111]

5. No, sorry, that deck is stacked. n/t

[Hydra]

7. As the first post says, it's ok if it's HRC

I think he needs to keep doing what he's doing and expand it- there are a lot of oppressed groups in America that need airtime and support. The Third Way hates people like us in that group.

Tap that outrage. Offer support. Offer solutions. That's the kind of President I want.

[LoveIsNow]

9. Will he?

Or is he judged by a different standard?

[Lil Missy]

11. Arrest them for disturbing the peace and throw them all in jail would be better. n/t

[whatchamacallit]

12. Well your candidate got halfway there

maybe you should share your suggestion with her.

[Autumn]

14. Bernie would never do that. But yeah if it were to happen I would have to

applaud him having the courage and "defending his podium". It's the right thing to do you know.

[whatchamacallit]

15. Yup

[Autumn]

16. Isn't it mind blowing to see things like that posted here?

[whatchamacallit]

18. Indeed it is

Glad to see "acceptable rules" being set. heheh...

[Scootaloo]

17. Naw. He's held to a different standard, while clinton is held to no standard at all

[Buzz cook]

19. Link please nt

.

[whatchamacallit]

21. Here are a few

there's more, but this should get you started.

[luvspeas]

27. 2 of your 3 links have over 300 posts each...

that's like saying you want proof? Here's the alphabet. Just put the letters in the right order.

[Phlem]

31. So......

you want whatchamacallit to do your work for you? Guess what fuck that. That's your job if you want to be a responsible citizen.

The fricking nerve.

[Buzz cook]

33. Not one of these links

Included an article about BLM members being escorted out of a Clinton rally. All of them link to DU discussions about the subject that afaik don't link to the story.

WTF the OP isn't alone about this, I've come across lots of linkless posts that ask me to be outraged about some poorly defined event.

These people should show some self-respect and trust readers with relevant information.

[72DejaVu]

20. Hilary decided to have them forcibly removed?

Dis she use a secret hand signal or something?

[whatchamacallit]

22. Had they resisted

we know what follows.

[72DejaVu]

24. Oh, we do?

Well, that's great, because now we can smear her for things that didn't happen but might have, since the current smears don't seem to be having much effect.

[CharlotteVale]

23. Legitimized it only because IOKIYHRC.

[Doctor_J]

25. no kidding. imagine if Sanders OR TRUMP had protesters removed

Here we see the problem with falling in love with a personality. You end up excusing pretty much everything.

[brewens]

28. I'd hear them out and respond appropriately. If they refuse to take yes for and answer, then

have them removed. Then you know it's all about them getting their moment of fame. Once their concerns are addressed, they need to STFU and go away.

[Yallow]

29. I Almost Personally Removed BLM Assholes From Seattle Event Stage

I was there.

We gave them their "moment of silence" for Michael Brown.

They still didn't leave the stage, just insulted the crowd repeatedly while Bernie stood there.

I am still, and will remain pissed at BLM.

Those 2 asshole women ruined my one chance to watch Bernie speak.

I know they don't give a crap.

But I do.

[whatchamacallit]

32. Really man?

[Sheepshank]

34. yah...looks like he just undid weeks and weeks of work for DU Bernie supporters

nice

looks like certain OP's are just begging for this type of response though.

[whatchamacallit]

35. Right...

my guess is he's one of yours.

[whatchamacallit]

37. And that proves what?

There are lots of people (provocateurs) falsely claiming to be Bernie supporters. I've never seen a response like that from any actual supporter.

[whatchamacallit]

39. I'm not any more responsible for what anonymous internet posters say

than you are for PUMAs. Pin your tail on some other donkey.

[whatchamacallit]

41. How about

you comment on the OP instead of trying to use one poster's reply to smear all of Berniedom.

[whatchamacallit]

44. Ok, well

I'm sorry if I misunderstood. We're so used to being collectively taken to task for what any supporter does, I assumed that was the play you were running. Yes, a single comment like that can undo much good will. Thanks for clarifying.

[pa28]

43. If Bernie does it he'll be SILENCING them. We all know that.
