A town hall for liberal activists featuring two Democratic presidential candidates was interrupted by dozens of demonstrators on Saturday who shouted down the contenders and demanded they address criminal justice issues and police brutality.
Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders planned to attend a public sit-down interview with journalist Jose Antonio Vargas in front of a left-leaning crowd here at the annual Netroots Nation conference, a gathering of progressives, when the tone of the program shifted just a few minutes into the event.
O'Malley was answering questions from Vargas on stage when dozens of boisterous conference attendees flooded through a side door and shouted down the White House contender.

O'Malley later apologized for the remarks, telling This Week in Blackness, a digital news site, that he "meant no disrespect" to the black community.
O'Malley apologizes for the mistake of suggesting that the lives of non-black human beings might matter too. No wonder he's only in single digits against Hillary! Hopefully he's learned his lesson - in the Democratic Party, only "minorities" and their demands matter.
Hitlery's Brownpantsuits perhaps?
Such is the eventual end for all panderers. Those being pandered too eventually get around to getting more noisy about their particular plaints. They don’t understand the finer points of triangulation, equivocation, duplicity and outright lying for convenient. All they know is they want their sh!t.
The natives are restless.
Pandering is a bottomless pit - there's no limit to the demands of a coddled pet constituency, or a would-be coddled pet constituency (i.e. watch the Democrat and GOP front-runners out-pander one another on the illegals issue).
“Protesters” always shout “We want communism and we want it now”
Where are the good guys shouting “We want Liberty and Freedom and we want it now?
Now pardon me while I get back to the latest news on FR.
The monster of their own creation is now turning on them for saying something truthful.
Too bad the GOP doesn't have the spine to run with it.
Netroots Nation = Zombie Convention
Didn’t trump make an issue of it? I know someone did. Just can’t put my finger on it.
Glen Beck did, but that is not who I am thinking of.
Most of the GOP is too busy pandering to Hispanics to notice. There's something really pathetic about watching Republicans try to play the Democrats' race panderer game, the Democrats have been doing it so well and so long that it's amateurs vs. professionals.
Useless idiots are just that. They are too stupid to really understand that their leftist handlers are those that they should be bowing to. So, the emotional useless idiots turn on everyone. What is also interesting is that useless idiots recognize that they get more attention by protesting the leftists because the leftists will pander to them, so this becomes more escalated, kinda fun to watch.
Perhaps you are thinking of Kathleen McCartney, president of Smith College, who got in trouble by sending an e-mail with the subject line "All lives matter" to everyone on the Smith campus back in December 2014.
She was forced to apologize for her insensitive and racist words.
Like they lost control of the KKK and black panther party this weekend? One would have thought they’d wait until the convention to bring the base together.
Deadly accurate.
Given a choice between Democrat and Democrat-lite, voters on the dole will choose Democrat every time.
Are they eating their own, or have we got our own band of infiltrators working mischief? Either way, good.
