(19,460 posts)They heckled Obama last night and no one did a thing. They heckled John Lewis today, no one did a thing. It isn't that they are being silenced, it's just that no one is listening to rudeness.

(11,605 posts)Other than that I did not hear any heckling at all.
He was interrupted mostly by people yelling "four more years" or other chants in support.

(1,532 posts)Funny how we didn't see any of them protesting like this at the RNC in Cleveland.
Things that make you go hmmmm.

(46 posts)to work at all, that protestors go to the party that may listen to them the most and may actually do something for them. Do you think Republicans will ever work on getting money out of politics or will work on health care reforms or immigration reform? So, they go where they may be heard.
There is a beaf from Sander's supporter regarding specifically John Lewis... But that's for days long past... So, we can move on. hes a politician, he's a big boy. He lived thru a bloody beating, he definitely can live thru a mild disagreement with citizens. If they didn't hold him with respect, they wouldn't care enough to try and point out their disagreement.

(4,238 posts)Petulant sore losers, professional whiners, and asinine disruptors -- yes. Heckling Cory Booker, Elijah Cummings, Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden? GTFO. How unbelievably selfish and rude.
George II
(67,782 posts)What is truly sad is that the person, presumably in whose name they were doing it, hasn't said a peep about his disrespectful and disgraceful followers.
eissa
(4,238 posts)He posted a message on FB quoting from President Obama's speech, encouraging everyone to vote Democrat from the top down. The comments have been vicious. They'd rather burn everything down. They can't see the forest for the trees.

(464 posts)Some of these people will run for office. Many of us will look at their political background. Those that supported Bernie and didn't switch to Hillary may lose many of our votes. It may be hard for them to become dogcatcher. That can affect a revolution.
I'm with her (and have been for a long, long, time).
