In reply to the discussion: Thom Hartman joins number of white progressives slamming those criticizing #BLM [View all]Jamaal510
(10,893 posts)in the past few weeks, I'm feeling "heartbern", but not in a good way. A lot of them on this site and online in general come across as bullies as they try to not only run off people who don't see things 100% eye to eye with them, but also drown out serious criticisms about their candidate's apparent uncomfortability discussing race, and there is so much dogma coming from them especially about automatically labeling BLM protesters as Hillary/GOP operatives, there's the rudeness of the audience when the girls were speaking, and one nut shouted "tase them" while another shouted "how dare you call me racist!". I'm sure BS is a decent man, but to echo what you said, a person shouldn't have to think twice about supporting someone because of the behavior of his/her supporters. So far, I haven't seen supporters of the other primary candidates act nearly as intense as his. He has to put them in check before it's too late and he loses even more would-be supporters.
