How does one immediately identify "Bernie people" from a stage in a crowded auditorium?

What made it possible for Hillary to immediately identify the protesters/hecklers as Bernie people?

Is there any video or pics of the women who chanted at the rally?

Were they wearing Bernie gear or holding Bernie signs?

Maybe they were Bernie supporters. I simply haven't seen any evidence yet and wonder how Hillary instantly knew they were "Bernie people."

The Ruling Class has clamped down on the lower 99% and we can't take it much more. Goldman-Clinton-Sachs will continue this calculated destruction of the lower classes for profits. This isn't a game. Peoples lives depend on this election.

As this is a valid argument that every Bernie or bust supporter should come to grips with.

There is one thing I'd like to comment on tho.
Hillary has been silent on the problems in Arizona. That would give me pause if I was supporting her.

I do not believe for a single minute that Clinton even cares about those issues. Obama said he did and when the Left helped him win he spit in our faces. And Clinton is farther to the right than Obama.

At some point you need to realize that we don't have much left to lose. At some point we draw a line and stand and say "fuck you" to those that would take everything for their personal profits.

I take it that you are willing for them to take a little more, maybe raise the poverty numbers to 100 million and that's still ok.

Hillary was endorsed by the League of Conservation Voters! OK, maybe the director used to work for her husband, and maybe her environmental score with the League was much lower than Bernie's. But she's for the environment, dammit! She just doesn't like to be bothered by pesky environmentalists!

She sounded deranged. I don't know if she had the SS "Escort" the people out or not, because I just saw it. BUT....She sounded like Donald Trump Yelling "Get 'Em Outta Here....Get 'Em Out!

Was anyone injured? As I said I've been out today and only just saw this.

Anyway...she sounded "Unhinged..Attacking Bernie. Is she working with Trump, or something or just copying him?

imagine those my age with faces wrinkled in a pattern of frustrated zealotry.

We're talking about the kind who go to rallies hoping the revolution has finally arrived, of course, not Bernie's older liberals reading in their easy chairs while they wait for their mail-in ballots to arrive.

As for the OP's question, a better one is would be: BSers are so famously obnoxious in the presence of their "enemies," how could any political operator NOT recognize them when they show up at an event?

Seriously.

find adorable behaviors that drove our kids up the wall and around the bend long ago. And I respect and admire energetic activism in people of any age.

The problem is the behavior of extremists that is so typically over a very broad line of respect for the rights of other people that they seem to neither see nor care about. Intolerant, absolutist behavior that both explains the term "extremists" and identifies those who earn it.

Insistence on the need for destruction of institutions, and even people, instead of fixing are also a major identifier. NOT cute in the least.
