How not to treat your allies
(http://i.imgur.com/LlgnSfq.jpg)
Imagine fighting your entire life for social justice, being the most progressive member of the senate and then having your events repeatedly crashed by people yelling at you that you're not doing enough.
I can't get over that look on his face. He looks so sad and defeated by this. I know he is a fighter, but I can't imagine having to deal with something like that.
I would really like an explanation of this. Forget he is a presidential candidate. Who treats a 73 year old man like that? I get he is a public figure, but you'd think a modicum of decency would prevent someone from doing something like that.

3. Protesting the fire fighter vs the arsonists.
A group of arsonists are burning down homes and businesses and people are dying so they protest the fire fighters and paramedics.

5. Your analogy is idiotic almost beyond description. I actually flinched when I read it.
Mostly because it's such a gross oversimplification of race relations and injustice in the United States.
Your dichotomous rhetoric seems to put forth the argument that Bernie Sanders is nothing less than the physical embodiment of a perfect savior.

6. We cannot walk alone.
The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
We cannot walk alone.
Martin Luther King Jr
Your comment is idiotic..

16. You don't call a man whose father's family was wiped out in the Holocaust a white supremacist.

I didn't know that. Why is anyone at DU supporting that sort of shit?

33. Tens of thousands of black families were wiped out in the AMERICAN holocaust.
There is a problem here in the U.S. where the horrible pogroms that took place in Europe have been overlayed into American history, as if they took place here in the U.S. The U.S. is part and party to massive eradication and subjugation of Africans, First Nation peoples, and other POC. If a young person sees someone who experienced such suddenly appear tone deaf to analogous (obviously not identical) practices happening here in the U.S. against another group by way of police brutality and "black sites" (like the one exposed in Chicago), etc., then you get such an utterance, however hyperbolic.

81. We keep being told that black people don't know him yet, but you think they know he's Jewish?
Or even care? :thatsright:
:popcorn: :cheersmate: Somebody should remind the FreeShitMatters thugs that Bill Clinton signed the workfare law back in 1996. :cheersmate: :popcorn:

80. "Interesting although as one who remembers the time.."
That was THEN, this is NOW.
...QuoteIt just doesn't make sense tto target Bernie. I think that the lack of reason to target Bernie is the reason so many DUers voice the opinion that Hillary supporters are behind BLM.
Why not? He is running for President. People have asked him to address their issues in his platform. They know the BILL Clinton record ("End Welfare as we know it", slashing governement, "Crime Bill") - and BILL (where he really has nothing to do with his wife unless you think they are co-joined twins) has recently come out to apologize for this crap. And people who were residents of Baltimore KNOW O'Malley's issues when he was mayor there. And the others (e.g., Webb and Chaffee) have been under the radar in terms of active campaigning.
Funny you should mention that.
One of the Heil Hillary supporters answers that:

Once again DUmmies - BLM is now an antisemitic movement. All them cracka-ass honky Jews are hording the wealth. Sanders is a cracka-ass honky Jew from one of the most cracka-ass honky states in the nation.
I'm sure half of them believe he has a little bag of Jew-Gold he wears around his neck, even though he 'claims' to be po'.
You libs made this monster. Deal with it.

DUmmie Bravenak was sent to the back of the bus over her comments yesterday, she has a total of 7 hides now.
She's an antagonistic little skrag. She's the redqueen of the AA forum. Assuming she comes back she will be out for bloody revenge.
Libs & Progs need to read Frankenstein - the book, not the movie. They would have done better to do so 40 or 50 years ago, when it might have helped them see the danger in creating monsters they couldn't control. But maybe now it would help them understand that the monsters they've created have turned on them.
One of my favorite stories of all time is Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus'. There are so many layers to that story, so many lessons about knowing one's limits, morality, triumph and tragedy, horror... Mrs Shelley was an absolute genius! I also love the film adaptations of her book. Not the hokey series BS, the actual story from her book. My favorite scene, though, is when Victor Frankenstein recoils in horror at what he has created, followed shortly thereafter of his realization that the blasphemy he brought into the world (by trying to play God) has grown into a malignancy he can neither control nor kill. It's a brilliant metaphor about narcissistic arrogance and its inevitable outcome.
You vermin have cultivated this class of savages for many years for nothing more than having a self replicating voting bloc to give you more power. You have used them as a force multiplier to spread fear and sow discontent among your fellow citizens in your quest to suppress those who don't "think" like you. But, what are you going to do when they figure out that burning down their own neighborhoods, especially when the taxpayers are no longer willing to indulge their destructive tendencies, is not a good idea? What then, DUmmies? What are you going to do when they come to torch your buildings and businesses? What happens when the police throw their hands up in frustration and walk away? Think they're going to burn down my house, hurt my family? No, they're going to go where the guns aren't...Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
It is simply stunning how the DUmmies can't see this is Clinton 101.
Just wait until the nappy headed hoes hook up with the bearded clams of the DUmp.
