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

Netroots hasn't been the same without DailyKos. . . DinahMoeHum Jul 2015 #3

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

One thing for sure, as far as I'm concerned it it comes from there I'm not Autumn Jul 2015 #29

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

Like I've said, don't play your allies like adversaries. . . DinahMoeHum Jul 2015 #31

A DU "Must WATCH!....to see how Bernie Triumphed in Answering the Protestors Questions! KoKo Jul 2015 #26

This is very sad what I have been reading. It is obvious they do not want to work with the current still_one Jul 2015 #30

That host was rude and really touchy feely. marym625 Jul 2015 #32

There's someone at DU, I don't know who, that knows if those folks yelling are for real or if this mahina Jul 2015 #33

I could believe it. They were getting exactly the attention for the cause they purported to promote, GoneFishin Jul 2015 #35

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 Jul 2015 #50

Yes we do. beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #51

Raine...you have to listen to how Sanders handled this...It was the Perfect Response KoKo Jul 2015 #54

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

Thanks, and another kick. madfloridian Jul 2015 #90

Thanks for the truth instead of more spins and lies. TM99 Jul 2015 #93

Watching that today really truly upset me. madfloridian Jul 2015 #94

Fear and rage lead to outbursts TM99 Jul 2015 #95

I guess we will see. historylovr Jul 2015 #99

Watch the host spend more time on cell phone than being attentive to presidential candidates. madfloridian Jul 2015 #96

Thanks for the videos. lovemydog Jul 2015 #102

I think that Bernie's decades of votes should matter... madfloridian Jul 2015 #103

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

No, it was not about WHO the candidates were. It was about what happened. madfloridian Jul 2015 #105

I think everyone listens in different ways. lovemydog Jul 2015 #107
