Protesters shut down Bernie Sanders rally
The Hill ^ | August 8, 2015 | Elliot Smilowitz and Megan R. Wilson

Posted on 08/08/2015 4:48:49 PM PDT by Timber Rattler

Protesters who claimed affiliation with the Black Lives Matter movement stormed the stage during a rally for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in Seattle on Saturday, taking over the microphone and forcing Sanders to leave without ever speaking.

Moments after Sanders took the stage at Westlake Park, two women and one man climbed the stage and confronted the Democratic presidential candidate, demanding a chance to speak.

After several moments of confusion and confrontation, an event organizer took the microphone and said the protesters would be allowed to speak before Sanders. Some in the crowd booed.

“Obama might be and evil, leftist, money-whore, but he could still unite people.”

I disagree. owebama has spent the last 7 years dividing this country and perpetuating class warfare. This is a natural outgrowth of his actions. Leftist blacks now believe that no rules of law or civic discourse apply to them and they are free to do whatever they want w/o consequences. For the most part, they’re right.

There's definitely a hunger in the Democrat Party to run somebody other than Shrillary. Only problem is they are even further to the left, if that can be believed.

What is Bernie? an old, white, non-threatening Jew. Polar bear hunting victim without the sucker punch but the sucker boot off the stage instead— courtesy of Obarry’s lil robot helpers.

Eating their own.
***************************************
Actually, I suspect the “protestors” were directed by Hillary’s campaign folks. Remember, Hillary did things in the 2008 campaign such as hire folks to”protest” at one of her events by chanting “Iron my shirts, iron my shirts”.

Transparent as hell in my book...but perhaps not to the low information & gullible crowds upon whom the ‘RATS rely for support.

The video is fantastic, I'd love an actual transcript of what Bernie Sanders says to that young woman... But I bet Hillary's people would love it even more.

I think the BEST part was the 4 1/2 minutes of silence for Michael Brown, the strong arm thug who attacked an innocent officer in his own patrol car.

I wish that you were kidding me about that but I know you’re not.

You’ll NEVER see this happening at a Hillary Rally.
EVER...

That would be too politically-incorrect.

I've not read the comments on this Daily Kos entry, but even liberals are having a hard time... #BowDownBernie is the new black lives matter hastag of the instant.. Hillary's gotta be cackling with glee.

I fear there will be very violent protests at the Republican convention. How will it play out?

When Commies fight Commies, there isn’t enough popcorn available on the planet for this one. Want to make a #BlackLivesMatter moron make a DUH face, ask them to name ONE black person killed in Chicago by another black, they will be like DUH I cant name one unless that person was killed by a cop

What is wrong with Sanders?

He was to be the speaker, and he just LETS some idiot hecklers have the microphone?

What even hard core leftist would vote for that kind of pu$$y?

It'll be outside. Just like all the violent protests at the DNC conventions (though admittedly, at the protests there, you'll find credentialed idiots out in the mob when the cops start opening fire with rubber bullets.)

And the KIRO video above, the morons think that, too.

This has Hillary/Soros fingerprints all over it.

The hecklers "happen" to have front row access?

No way.

Hillary's people.
