The Soros-funded #blacklivesmatter movement is a big problem for the Democrats, and Bernie Sanders just stumbled over it. Failure to grovel risks dampening the extraordinary black turnout necessary for Democratic victories in many states. But excessive groveling (say, apologizing for saying, “All lives matter,” as Martin O’Malley did) makes the candidate look like a PC wuss, nobody to entrust the nation’s security to.
Appearing on Meet the Press, Bernie Sanders in effect pleaded incompetence as a leader for his campaign’s apology letter that made its way to Buzzfeed. Amber Ferguson reports in the Huffington Post:
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says he was not the person who sent an apology email to Black Lives Matter activists and believes an apology is unnecessary.

It would be like having Woody Allen as President. If America’s enemies ramped it up under Carter and Zero, it’ll be a full-on Visigoth sacking under the Bern.

He ran from the tweet, yet went on to say how America has to stop institutional racism, our unfair justice system and do away with the militarization of our local police departments. So...he essentially stands for what the tweet set out to do.
More liberal logic.
“I won’t stand for standing behind things I don’t know if I stand for or not.” Something like that? LOL! Or, “I refuse to tolerate intolerance in any form.”.
Polling results must be in. The thug population won’t bring that many votes.
You have one of the most fascinating Freeper home pages I have ever seen. I normally don’t look at people’s pages but I was curious.
You should write a book....
He wouldn't want to be President of any country that would elect him.
The BLM folks are not about “we shall overcome” - they’re about “we shall overpower”. They’re not “we’ll walk hand in hand” - they’re “we shall shout you down”. They are the same kind of Sister Souljah extremists that Bill Clinton repudiated back in the early 90’s.
Remember that - his “Sister Souljah moment” as it was called? Souljah had said “If there are any good white people, I haven’t met them”, to which, Clinton, when asked, said, “If you took the words ‘white’ and ‘black,’ and you reversed them, you might think David Duke was giving that speech.” And thus was born the phrase “Sister Souljah moment”, to represent the judicious repudiation of an extremist person or group that arises from within your own base of support, in order to show that you are not out there on the lunatic fringe with them.
Most of the crap that comes out the BLM movement today is very much like the comments Sister Souljah made back then. Just reversing the races - as Bill Clinton had suggested - will reveal how extremist they are. Heck, even substituting “white” for “black” in the group’s name doesn’t sound that good, does it. So try to imagine a group of white male right-wingers shouting down and taking a mic from some black, female candidate.
So welcome to 2016 and the modern Democrat party, in which their “Sister Souljah” moment is to essentially give her a big, fat, sloppy wet kiss, or whatever other metaphor applies to wimps like Bernie who let them shout their way onto the stage, grap hold of your microphone, and shut down your event, along with all the other Democrats who are afraid to even breathe in the wrong direction lest they offend the unpredictable and irrational sensitivities of this extremist hate group.
But then again, the modern Democrat party is just a coalition of hate groups - each with their own specific grudge against someone - and the candidates all just have to find a way for them to unite in their hate against some Republican boogeyman that they’ll attempt to create. That’s all they have left, now that they have abandoned any support that some in that party once had for the economic AND social benefits of free-market capitalism - which was why the Democrat party leader was recently flummoxed by Chris Matthews when asked about the difference between being a Democrat and a Socialist.
