I'm calling it like I see it - it is an attack. London Lover Man Jul 2015 #3

Bernie cancelled his meeting. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #5

If they wanted a meeting they should've acted like they wanted one. arcane1 Jul 2015 #6

Yup. n/t progressoid Jul 2015 #14

So they should act and behave the way Sanders supporters want them to? Gman Jul 2015 #26

I didn't say that. arcane1 Jul 2015 #30

When you basically tell them to have a polite meeting Gman Jul 2015 #49

I agree with all of that. I'm not questioning the cause at all. arcane1 Jul 2015 #52

I have no doubt whatsoever you agree 1000% Gman Jul 2015 #58

Bernie is not in power. He is a candidate for the Presidency. PADemD Jul 2015 #78

I remember the phrase "speak truth to power" Gman Jul 2015 #90

To behave as rational adults who want to be efective spokespeople for snagglepuss Jul 2015 #61

Ok so, Gman Jul 2015 #91

In a civilized manner, with respect. In the same kind of manner blacks want snagglepuss Jul 2015 #98

They are... Agschmid Jul 2015 #82

Agreed. HooptieWagon Jul 2015 #27

HE did not cancell JV. PLease stop spreading this LIE Indepatriot Jul 2015 #8

Not according to one organizer: JaneyVee Jul 2015 #13

He also tweeted "I think @HillaryClinton should've been there to make this argument directly" progressoid Jul 2015 #19

At a Dem fundraiser scheduled in advance. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #20

How convenient. HooptieWagon Jul 2015 #29

See below. George II Jul 2015 #32

NRN was probably scheduled a year in advance. HooptieWagon Jul 2015 #37

I'll tell her people to contact your people the next time a scheduling conflict comes up... George II Jul 2015 #41

Wrong. Southwest flies nonstop from LIT to PHX London Lover Man Jul 2015 #68

I've done that before - here in Connecticut it's the "Jefferson Jackson BAILEY Dinner"... George II Jul 2015 #74

Someones gotta raise money for the Democratic party. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #33

Another attack on Bernie? RobertEarl Jul 2015 #38

Really? You think that was an "attack"? JaneyVee Jul 2015 #42

Jefferson Jackson RobertEarl Jul 2015 #47

He was at the Democratic Dinner. HooptieWagon Jul 2015 #40

Good. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #44

Which "Democratic Dinner"? George II Jul 2015 #45

Friday nights Dinner in Iowa. HooptieWagon Jul 2015 #46

She was at Arkansas' biggest, most important DEMOCRATIC event of the year....... George II Jul 2015 #31

Heh... RobertEarl Jul 2015 #60

Jefferson Jackson dinner? Sounds kind of familiar. progressoid Jul 2015 #85

Right, as a GUEST, not keynote speaker (they reserve that honor for Democrats) George II Jul 2015 #86

Bwaa ha ha ha. You made a joke about Bernie not being a Democrat. progressoid Jul 2015 #88

It wasn't a joke. George II Jul 2015 #89

hmm, who do I see pictured here? PowerToThePeople Jul 2015 #96

one response to first tweet Go Vols Jul 2015 #21

Meeting with who? whatchamacallit Jul 2015 #9

Would've loved to see the reaction to Hillary if she had the guts to show up. Her absence from the event was quite telling. InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2015 #66

Telling of what, she was at a Democratic fundraiser. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #72

They are attacks. 840high Jul 2015 #48

Yup. Agschmid Jul 2015 #57

They aren't just attacks. They are unwarranted attacks. JDPriestly Jul 2015 #76

Exactly, Janey! And, NRN stands with #BlackLivesMatter.. Cha Jul 2015 #97

Remember, though, that the 1% will do whatever is necessary to ensure Zorra Jul 2015 #7

They didn't spend almost a million dollars on polling for nothing! n/t arcane1 Jul 2015 #11

Yup RobertEarl Jul 2015 #12

I agree, this is a marathon not a sprint. Left coast liberal Jul 2015 #15

Agree that this is being used for attacks on Sanders... AOR Jul 2015 #16

Not going to argue against that RobertEarl Jul 2015 #18

Justice goes to the highest bidder... AOR Jul 2015 #36

So Blacks should shut up and let Sanders be prez Gman Jul 2015 #22

Sure. Whatever RobertEarl Jul 2015 #23

Let's see how many black people they will get to the polls if that happens. Stellar Jul 2015 #65

Yeah, you're the one who, uh, surely "got it". n/t brentspeak Jul 2015 #73

Probably. mmonk Jul 2015 #24

How can one be "singled out" when two were interrupted? Maybe "doubled out"? George II Jul 2015 #25

On DU, George RobertEarl Jul 2015 #34

Nobody is impugning Sanders integrity. Stop with the bogus straw man garbage. KittyWampus Jul 2015 #43

There it is again RobertEarl Jul 2015 #51

They're saying in essence Gman Jul 2015 #92

Just....eww... kjones Jul 2015 #28

So where is BLM with Obama on all of this? jalan48 Jul 2015 #35

My take: If Bernie Sanders' campaign is as tone deaf and unwilling to change KittyWampus Jul 2015 #39

That would be too bad. Clinton 840high Jul 2015 #50

Dog whistling was Clinton's downfall in '08 - it will be again for 2016. London Lover Man Jul 2015 #71

You see too many trainwrecks on DU, eventually they cease to entertain. randome Jul 2015 #59

Here's the deal.... Stellar Jul 2015 #62

Whoa, dude RobertEarl Jul 2015 #70

Sorry...I guess I was reading down thread from your original post. Stellar Jul 2015 #77

"Bernie still needs to get people from BLM in his organization to help him." SusanCalvin Jul 2015 #79

That's all I've been trying to say. Thank you! Stellar Jul 2015 #80

Thank you. SusanCalvin Jul 2015 #81

I feel that Bernie could tell those in the movement what can be done and what can't. Stellar Jul 2015 #83
