What Bernie Sanders REALLY SAID at NET ROOTS NATION

What Bernie Sanders REALLY SAID at NET ROOTS NATION!

Out there in MisinfoMediaLand...there are folks saying that "Bernie Walked Out..." he got "Testy" ....he didn't Address the "BLM," he Wasn't Prepared, etc ...and YET this Video shows a very different view.

[guillaumeb]

1. He talked about "we need jobs and education, not jail and

incarceration". That is what I heard.

It sounds like he addressed one of the core issues of the Black Lives Matter movement.

11. I'm not sure the screaming about him not representing AA

or being sensitive to AA issues, is really about that at all. I suspect it may just be an excuse to have a reason to scream at anyone who "threatens" a Hillary win. A way to shut down the conversation.

Because those who are screaming the loudest, don't accept it when proof like this is shown that Sanders is as much for POC as he is for whites, and always has been.

[sabrina 1]

25. That's what most people heard. Unless they didn't want to.

[arcane1]

2. Don't forget "booed off the stage"

Unfortunately, the narrative has become "official" already. It's up to truth-tellers to combat it!

[MrMickeysMom]

6. He didn't GET boo'd off the stage, so I'm unsure of what you mean by that one...

I saw him address every question he was given, regardless of how poorly this moderator was handling a group who was trying to get him to "say her name". What the fuck does saying anyone's name have to do with responding to every important issue, certainly including the unregulated shouts that somehow were representative of a body of people wanting answers.

If I have to guess, I'd say the rank and file Democratic Party puts a lot of effort into making this a horse race, which is disrespectful of wanting ANY life to matter… especially BLACK LIVES.

What the fuck was wrong with attendees of Net Roots, anyway?

[arcane1]

9. I was adding to the list of false claims about his performance there

I saw a post or two that said he was booed off the stage

[MrMickeysMom]

10. Oops.. my bad...

You know, I take a few days off of DU, and I miss the previous heat… sure is getting hot around here.

[arcane1]

12. I may have to take a break myself!

[appalachiablue]

13. People started leaving which is when he said that if people didn't want him to be there, thats ok,

and not reported by the press.

[MrMickeysMom]

29. He was fair in this ludicrous situation. Shitty moderator included

What a piece of trash net-wits are to me, now.

[sabrina 1]

26. It's not the Rank and File, the voters are not responsible for the smear

campaigns that Corporate Money buys whenever we have a real Progressive candidate who is a threat to the any of the status quo candidates.

It's getting old which is why they now have to work so hard to try to force their talking points on the public.

4. big media = Clinton campaign organ

[sabrina 1]

27. Corporate Media works hard for their bosses. However they have become quite irrelevant

considering that few have any faith in them as a source of actual news anymore. Most people get their news from other sources now, young people especially which is why what worked just a few years ago, doesn't work so well anymore.

When Corps bought the media (thanks again Clinton) they hadn't counted on the Internet where armies of citizen journalists are ready to expose the lies as soon as they appear on the Corp Media.

[BeyondGeography]

5. Easy solution

Next time, talk about how a Sanders DOJ will address police brutality. He had about four chances to go there and didn't. Otherwise, he did pretty well. Most of the crowd wanted to hear from him and they were receptive.

[MrMickeysMom]

8. That might have been a good question for the moderator, controlled by chaos and nothin else

Why wasn't the moderator prepared with those statements?

If these black women wanted answers, could they not ask that or other questions? If they wanted a demonstration or call to the names of countless oppressed, was this actually shown as their direction? Judging from the interviews, they just wanted a press moment, and what better way then to come in without preparation and continually interrupt until they heard names be recognized?

Do they realize the moment lost by having all those questions sent up? No… they crashed and disrupted and the point was lost until some of the media made it what it wasn't. They look stupid and they didn't get their answers, did they?

[appalachiablue]

14. +1

[BeyondGeography]

17. The moderator was lame, no question

If NRN doesn't up its game and get better control of its forum, I don't know why any candidate would go back there.

[Ed Suspicious]

18. The moderator seemed super enthusiastic about the heat the event

was generating. Watching him fucking with his phone as the interview went off the rails was really something I never expected.

[MrMickeysMom]

22. I saw that too

[Faryn Balyncd]

7. He handled everything with grace & excellent proposals. Bravo!

[Triana]

15. That moderator SUCKED, for one thing. n/t

[cprise]

16. Something tells me Hillary's camp is trying to Burn back.

Honestly... Who are those people?

Bernie has a 100% rating from NAACP. It must be asked if someone intentionally misled or paid these protesters.

[KoKo]

21. I know...I wonder myself..but, it's about other candidates pushing or Burning Back...the "Bern"

because their interests lie with Wall Street, Corporate/Media Interests and the Think Tanks (Multi-National and U.S. Based) plus the EU, IMF and Global Treaty Supporters. How do you fight back against that? Bernie says he will because he knows what's out there and with his long Senate Record ...assume he knows where the "tender points are" that he can influence. Plus...he doesn't take crap...he stands up. And, there are some good people pushed out in the shadows who will help him out ...if given a chance.

Bernie is GRASS ROOTS. That doesn't fly with those who make their living out of the Above.

[SoapBox]

19. The Bernie Bashers aren't interested...they are only interested in one thing...

And that is getting their Bankster / Billionaire bought and paid for candidate into office.

The attacks of him being a racist are, lower than low.

Disgraceful.

[Galraedia]

20. The BLM protestors were completely disrespectful.

This isn't a media conspiracy or a plot by the Clinton campaign to hurt Bernie Sanders. It's a bunch of protestors who are unorganized and more interested in yelling and screaming rather than having an intelligent conversation.

[beam me up scottie]

23. k&r!

Well done, KoKo!

Time to put those lies to rest.

[panfluteman]

24. I Think They're Closet Goons for Hillary and the Mainstream Corporate Media

If they were just disorganized screamers looking for attention, why didn't they crash Elizabeth Warren's speech? Why just those of Martin O'Malley and Bernie Sanders? Because the latter were running against Hillary, the corporate heir apparent, for the Democratic nomination! And also, if the truth about Bernie's stellar record of support for people of color gets out among black voters, and they start deserting Hillary to vote for Bernie, that's probably something that scares the pants off of the Hillary camp.
