As Hillary supporters made their way out of the gymnasium, an officer in riot gear pointed and said “that way only.” I stopped in my tracks when I saw where he wanted us to go. The sole exit from the campus was a narrow walkway approximately 40 feet long, lined 2-3 people deep on each side with more than a hundred screaming, cursing, jeering, angry Bernie supporters pushing hateful signs into people’s faces. They stood above the path on a two foot cement border wall, looming over and into the walkway, shouting SHAME ON YOU!
A scan of the signs revealed the same tired slurs rotated out against Hillary for decades. “Liar,” “Wall Street Shill” “Murderer” “Frack You” “Hillary Deports Children” “Clinton Crime Family” “Release the Transcripts.” A large sign written in drippy red paint screamed “Honduras!” and “You killed Berta Cáceres!” Conspiracy theories abounded, each one could easily be refuted with basic research from reliable sources, or a visit to snopes.com.
Entering the gauntlet, two protesters cursed and shouted through megaphones mere feet away, ringing eardrums. One of the megaphone men was dressed in a loincloth, partially exposing himself, his face painted red and wearing a headdress of feathers. A young girl in a pink jacket jabbed her fingers at people as they passed and yelled “Get out of here, get out of here! You’re not from here, none of you!”
Every single Hillary supporter was forced to pass through the tunnel of hate. Some smiled defiantly, flashed peace signs, sang and danced their way through. Some angrily flipped the bird and shouted back, shoving signs out of their faces. Some took pictures, some covered their faces and ran, some sheltered their children and elders. A number of people using wheelchairs or walkers navigated carefully through the bellowing mob. No one was spared. A handmade sign with Hillary’s autograph was ripped from a child’s hands and torn up. Children cried and parents’ faces registered shock, gears turning: “How will I explain this behavior, and why they’re so mad at us?”
The Democrat Party’s chickens have come home to roost.
The Philadelphia Democratic Convention is going to be So Much Fun !! ….on television.
And some of the more-innocent and naive Delegates are shocked–shocked–to discover the Party isn’t picking-up the tab for their (party) expenses, they have to cover the $5000-8000 expense themselves.
The Democrat party is the true party of hate.
People selling molitov cocktails in Philly will sure earn their money.
Almost makes me wish I was there with a luchador mask and rainbow feather boa.
Bwhahaha!! Suck it lefturds! Love me some blue on blue violence. Remember how the MFM spun Tea Party events as the equivalent of that?
gee now they know who was committing all that violence at Donald trump rallies although they will never admit it. Bernie is a communist and his supporters are just doing what totalitarian communists do.
GOOD! 🙂

^ Agreed. Couldn’t happen to more deserving people.
And there was more of the same (violence, threats, and disruption) at the Democrat state convention in Nevada last weekend. I find more than a little schadenfreude in pointing out to older Democrats that they’d better get used to it, because this is no anomaly but actually the face of the youth wing (40 and under) of today’s Democrat party. The older Democrats raised this mob on a diet of revolution, Marxism, political correctness, and stories of their own Vietnam-era hippy protest glory days. The chickens have come home to roost, indeed.
But methinks it will take awhile before they see it that way. A conference I was attending last month had as one of its luncheon speakers, a noted author and professor at a well-known East Coast university. She opened her talk by recalling watching CNN that morning and seeing a retired NFL star criticize Black Lives Matter (later reported by the media as referring to them as doing more harm than good). She noted how that made her angry and said “They’re just kids…[who are trying to make a change where they can]!” She then went on to say “Call me cynical, but I have to wonder who’s writing his checks.” Yet there was zero thought about who might be writing the checks to BLM as well as the fact that twenty- & thirtysomething agitators with minimal outside occupations probably aren’t “kids” in any sense of the word.
I have friends, slightly younger than this 72-year-old author/professor, who will most likely look at the violence at the NV Dem convention and note that “They’re just frustrated with the state of the country.” All without a thought that the people/policies they are frustrated with just happen to be of the person who occupies The White House today and could possibly occupy The White House next year.
