Which Candidate Has Been Booed?
Both candidates say they can unite. They both say that if they're nominated they can win the General Election.

However, is there a candidate who has produced a symphony of boos from time to time throughout the years at public speaking events?

You might think that the boos came from rethugs, but instead have they have come from progressives, the very audience the candidates claim to represent?

Let's count some up:

1) Hillary Booed at Take Back America ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9FYUHNktlQ )

2) Hillary Booed at Iowa Heartland Democratic forum ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBU46xnc-EA )

3) ?????

You fill in any more blanks you can come up w/ for either candidate.

If a Hillary supporter's point is that such a discussion is not fair because Obama is more likeable and people don't hate him, I would say ... "and your point?"

We must nominate the candidate that best represents the Democratic Party, who's foundation is progressive democrats, not DLC-loving yellow dog moderates.

So ... any other examples of either candidate being booed by groups in their own party?

(and yes, it matters to point this out during the time period when we're trying to nominate a candidate)

5. That Take Back America video pisses me the fuck off!
Why? BECAUSE I TOO WAS THERE. I was sitting in the audience for that very speech. Yes, Hillary got booed, as shown.

If you weren't there -- you might assume (little evidence to the contrary! Although you know what they say about ASSuming) that booing was the ONLY reponse greeting that speech of Hillary's.

IT WAS NOT.

Other parts of that speech by Hillary received MUCH applause and MANY cheers. And she got a fucking standing ovation at the end. At the end of that speech, there was no doubt that Hillary represented progressives and that the audience FULL of progressives found PLENTY to cheer about in her.

NOTHING is 100%.

But just go on trying to distort what happened at that Take Back America event. Go on, do what the MSM does, and only show Hillary in the worst possible light because it suits your agenda. Don't try to be fair. Don't even question that there might have been more than one response to that speech, just because YOU weren't there to see it.

6. They're not booing
They're saying "boo-urns, boo-urns!" As in "this whiskey, she boo-urns going down, no?"
