I'm listening to C-Span radio and the chanting is ridiculous. Leon Panetta is talking about his immigrant parents and their story, and they're screaming at him.

Some people actually want to hear the speakers. I understand the sentiment, but let's listen to a guy who has National Security experience and see what he has to say, eh?

Sometimes it sounds like the disaffected being rude and disrespectful, but other times I think it is just an overabundance of enthusiasm.

When they tried to shout down the No more war chants with Hillary ... It just made it worse.

That was the main thing they were chanting.
Probably a bunch of admirers of that radical Pope.

Man, what has happened to DU? Is it so fringe or so evil to make a little two minute interruption to raise one's voice that one is sick of endless American wars?

Of the people that are still here, didn't any of you protest Iraq? I'm sure you did.


Yeah you may not Pprove of the time and the place, but don't write those people off as trumpies or as Jill stein voters. Maybe a few of them are, but I bet a lot of them are just solid Dems whose conscience nags at them to not go along with the flow.

They didn't boo Panetta. They just said No More War.

Big flipping deal.

I seriously doubt they were shouting "Trump." Let us know if you can confirm it.
