That is an important moment. And they also have to check to make sure they have permission to play music at any event -- there can be a fee involved.

Welcome to DU!! Jack Bone May 2016 #133

I am a few years younger than Bernie and I couldn't tell you the lyrics to any rap song Vinca May 2016 #2

So, its ok because you can't make out the lyrics? Sheepshank May 2016 #6

Did I say that? No. Stop distorting my words. Vinca May 2016 #11

Yes, you pretty much said that. Sheepshank May 2016 #14

No, I didn't "pretty much say that." Vinca May 2016 #18

How pathetic it is to deliberately "misunderstand" what someone else is saying. 5th grade stuff. bjo59 May 2016 #88

+ 1000. Often they start with *So...* n/t JimDandy May 2016 #97

It's not an isolated occasion. Tavarious Jackson May 2016 #15

If you're such a rap fan, why don't you email the rap artist to let him know how offensive it is? Vinca May 2016 #20

I'm sure thats what you would do if it were Hillary Gomez163 May 2016 #26

His "advance" people should be fired. They should be looking at every detail at these rallies. kerry-is-my-prez May 2016 #27

Hungry? bobbobbins01 May 2016 #3

Holy crap Sheepshank May 2016 #4

Lol. Pretty bad. I'm trying to imagine Bernie Hortensis May 2016 #32

Very, very bad messaging. Agnosticsherbet May 2016 #5

I agree. Tavarious Jackson May 2016 #54

If he fires the people responsible, I would be more inclined to believe an appology Agnosticsherbet May 2016 #56

With Killer Mike on the team, one would have thought the words would have been reviewed Sheepshank May 2016 #122

I doubt he specifically chose the music. MineralMan May 2016 #7

It's not an isolated occasion. Tavarious Jackson May 2016 #12

Real bad choice, and it doesn't matter of "he" choose the song or not Iliyah May 2016 #13

And Hillary receives millions from people who, you know...actually kill gays. Lizzie Poppet May 2016 #25

and allowed them weapons deals through her Foundation to cluster bomb small children. nt. polly7 May 2016 #71

Exactly. It's impossible to pin moral bankruptcy on Bernie but they keep trying! bjo59 May 2016 #91

Yep. One's a case of bad optics. Lizzie Poppet May 2016 #100

Why do you hate strong women? QC May 2016 #96

Some of the socially conservative AAs who support Clinton are homophobes too Armstead May 2016 #47

Killer Mike has supported marriage equality longer than Hillary. DemocraticWing May 2016 #103

He's used homophobic slurs repeatedly in his "music" CorkySt.Clair May 2016 #104

He apologized. Hillary Clinton made a whole speech about how gay marriage was icky. DemocraticWing May 2016 #106

But why did he use them in the first place? CorkySt.Clair May 2016 #108

He was socialilized into a heterosexist/homophobic culture and did not reject it soon enough. DemocraticWing May 2016 #109

"He was socialized into a heterosexist/homophobic culture" CorkySt.Clair May 2016 #110

Disgusting, he's not even being subtle anymore. George II May 2016 #35

so tell us brave Tavarious was this DMX rap popular? azurnoir May 2016 #37

Everything in political rallies is thoroughly planned. TwilightZone May 2016 #51

so you admit it was popular? but the video evidence shows clearly it was overdubbed onto the vid azurnoir May 2016 #67

Donald Trump is popular. Should Bernie start promoting him at his rallies? TwilightZone May 2016 #68

well it was a mistake to overdub a rap onto a video and then attempt to claim azurnoir May 2016 #72

This is such a bullshit accusation you are making. leftinportland May 2016 #39

I know one thing. Tavarious Jackson May 2016 #52

YES. Someone specifically chooses the song played when the candidate ENTERS. pnwmom May 2016 #60

I'm not hearing those lyrics in this 42 second clip Laughing Mirror May 2016 #57

I'm not sure. It was also on BET. Tavarious Jackson May 2016 #61

Well where's the clip with those lyrics? Laughing Mirror May 2016 #63

It's an anti-gay song. Just because the entire song wasn't played doesn't make it any less anti-gay TwilightZone May 2016 #70

Well they played the anthem part of the song because it's rousing Laughing Mirror May 2016 #73

Ok, got it. It's a "rousing" anti-gay song so it's ok. TwilightZone May 2016 #75

yes, I'm positive Bernie picked that rap for just that reason.... he's a HUGE rap fan Fast Walker 52 May 2016 #85
