Editing to change the link to Bernie's video. Someone just found the full interview, which is the one I saw live. Thank you, Skwmom.






Keep calling our candidates racist. Keep shouting them down without allowing them to speak. There will be no winners at all then.

The Netroots Nation seems mostly pleased with all of it at their twitter feed.

They should apologize to our candidates.

Who should apologize? Cali_Democrat Jul 2015 #1
I said it before...the ones in charge of this fiasco. madfloridian Jul 2015 #2
The people who put on this debacle should apologize for utterly shitty crowd control. PatrickforO Jul 2015 #8
Right. These candidates are allies to PoC. I could see this tactic used against the Pukes, Ed Suspicious Jul 2015 #49
The host of the meeting. He did little to stop any of it. jwirr Jul 2015 #70

Boy, they sure did a crappy job of crowd control. PatrickforO Jul 2015 #7
I'm not thrilled with the obvious setup marym625 Jul 2015 #9

I think dialog would have been helpful. Screaming over does nothing to advance their cause. peacebird Jul 2015 #17
I completely agree marym625 Jul 2015 #23
It was the one chance for the rest of us who were not demonstrating JDPriestly Jul 2015 #80
were you there? marym625 Jul 2015 #84
No. I wasn't there. I watched the video of Elizabeth Warren's speech JDPriestly Jul 2015 #89
I agree but with a note marym625 Jul 2015 #91
Well, that was the theory. In fact, they had a meeting scheduled. jeff47 Jul 2015 #24
Hijacking a candidates speech is obnoxious but Bernie handled it with aplomb. pa28 Jul 2015 #11
He handled it nicely. I support BLM, and totally get their frustration, but I think they were wrong peacebird Jul 2015 #15
I had joined up for e mail updates from Netroots Nation while Autumn Jul 2015 #12
Good luck getting anybody to show up for the next Netroots Nation. n/t winter is coming Jul 2015 #13

James O'Keefe....that was the first thing I thought of, same result...and he took down ACORN. nt haikugal Jul 2015 #61
Actually I thought Bernie did pretty well. peacebird Jul 2015 #14
I agree marym625 Jul 2015 #27
Getting ready to watch O'Malleys video now! peacebird Jul 2015 #28
I agree. Bernie handled himself well considering the unruly protesters. HooptieWagon Jul 2015 #60
Thanks for the primary source. Both candidates did as well as can be expected. KittyWampus Jul 2015 #18
Big cheers for Bernie in his video aikoaiko Jul 2015 #19
Why did the video of Bernie abruptly end? n/t Skwmom Jul 2015 #20
When I saw it there was an ending, and a thank you to Bernie. So I don't know. madfloridian Jul 2015 #22
Makes sense. Shout down the guy who is most supportive of your cause, in the midst of him GoneFishin Jul 2015 #21

I just watched the Sanders part. He did great. The moderator also did fine. Vattel Jul 2015 #39
I know that most people here see no problem... madfloridian Jul 2015 #41
Idk, maybe I am being too easy on them. But Sanders handled it well. Vattel Jul 2015 #64
The candidates showed up in good faith and were shouted down. beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #40
I was over at KOS reading replies and there were many there saying what "You Say" KoKo Jul 2015 #43
It's awful. beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #46

KoKo, I did, and I really came away with something very different. Raine1967 Jul 2015 #65
Thank you for watching...We disagree in our interpretations of Watch/Listen...but.. KoKo Jul 2015 #69
It's all good, KoKo. Raine1967 Jul 2015 #77
I was agitated and furious 5 min into Bernie, and all during O'Malley madfloridian Jul 2015 #74
I can't disagree, madfloridian. Raine1967 Jul 2015 #76
He was likely annoyed because he had scheduled a meeting with those same people arcane1 Jul 2015 #78
?? Raine1967 Jul 2015 #79
It's a fact. He cancelled the meeting after the event. arcane1 Jul 2015 #81
if that is the case, that isn't really cool. Raine1967 Jul 2015 #82
It wasn't cool for them to yell and insult him. madfloridian Jul 2015 #83
Is there a link somewhere that said that he was going to meet with the people behind BLM? Raine1967 Jul 2015 #85
I'm not sure if it was the same people, but they represented the same group arcane1 Jul 2015 #86
Thanks for that answer. Raine1967 Jul 2015 #87
This is all I really have on it arcane1 Jul 2015 #88
I noticed how calmly O'Malley handled himself, he is worth taking a look. Thinkingabout Jul 2015 #52
He did a good job. madfloridian Jul 2015 #53

I didn't think about it so much in terms of who the candidates are. lovemydog Jul 2015 #104
