Supporters of Bernie Sanders to hold "fart in" during Hillary Clinton's acceptance speech in Philadelphia.

Courtesy of Truthdig:  

Cheri Honkala, the leader of the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign, announced that her group was organizing the world’s largest “fart-in” to be held on July 28 at the Wells Fargo Center during Hillary Clinton’s anticipated acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination. 

“We will be holding a massive bean supper for Bernie Sanders delegates on American Street in my Kensington neighborhood on the afternoon of July 28,” she said. “We are setting up a Clintonville there, modeled on the Hoovervilles of the 1930s where the poor and unemployed built shanty towns. The Sanders delegates, their bellies full of beans, will be able to return to the Wells Fargo Center and greet the rhetorical flatulence of Hillary Clinton with the real thing.” 

Honkala said she would issue an invitation to Sanders to join the bean supper, which she is calling Beans for Hillary. She has asked donors to send cans of beans to 1301-W Porter Street, Philadelphia, Pa., 19148. 

“Any remaining beans will be served to the homeless, although we will, of course, be urging Sanders delegates to eat as much as possible,” Honkala said. 

Chris Hedges, an author and activist who is an ordained Presbyterian minister, will open the Beans for Hillary meal with a nondenominational prayer. 

“I am happy to bless a meal that will be put to such effective political use,” Hedges said.

In other news a number of Sanders' supporters are also arguing against the Sanders' campaign given their mailing list to the DNC:

Asked Friday if Sanders should hand over his donor list to the Democratic National Committee or the Clinton campaign, a panel moderated by “Democracy Now!” co-host Juan Gonzalez voiced their opposition. 

Dominique Scott, a 21-year-old University of Mississippi student who attended the summit Saturday, argued that Sanders shouldn’t hand over his list because "there are reasons why people didn’t support Clinton in the first place." 

"She has her own donors," Scott said. "She has plenty of money." 

For those who may not know, it is traditional for losing campaigns to hand over their donor lists to the party once their campaign comes to an end. It is how grownups do politics.

In yet other news there are a number of Bernie supporters who are also practicing how to get arrested at the convention in Philadelphia:

The big question this weekend in Chicago is how to turn the Bernie Sanders movement into a lasting element of Democratic politics. 

For some of the Sanders faithful on Saturday afternoon, the answer was locking arms on a civic center floor and struggling as “police officers” pulled them apart and “arrested” them.

Okay just for clarification are THESE the people whose trust Hillary is supposed to "earn" before November?

    Totally useless unless Bernie becomes an actual democrat.

      Well, yes. Since he is NOT a Democrat, and wants to turn the party into his personal idea of democratic, which is mostly worship St. Bernie and never ever question what he says, I say the chances are pretty slim.

      From what I've seen, the "Bernie Sanders movement" is not worth it. The Democratic Party has had a very liberal platform ever since the Dixiecrats became Republicans and it was probably much more liberal even before. Remember the Democratic Party is the party of Franklin Roosevelt. I think most of Bernie's young supporters know nothing about US history. I'm not even sure about how much Bernie Sanders knows about the subject. We know he's clueless about how political parties work and he knows nothing about how he would get his lofty ideas passed in Congress or funded.

    6. Agree with 4:09.

      I still had some respect left for Bernie, & I was hopeful that a huge group of people he calls a revolution would be an enormous benefit in holding Congress for progressive changes. Instead, after reading how they plan to disrespect not only Hillary at her defining moment as the first woman presidential candidate, these people also plan to disrespect the convention, those in attendance, and you and I as American citizens. This is what I've come to expect from teabaggers, not from the enlightened left.

      If they don't want to legitimately participate, then they should be elsewhere pooping their drawers.

      This makes me fucking angry! I hope the DNC or Hillary concedes nothing to these ridiculously poor losing people when they present their convention demands.

  2. Bernie needs to start actively discouraging this kind of thing. And why don't they hold a fart-in for Trump? Granted, it might be hard to distinguish the flatulence from his normal rhetoric.

      If Bernie shows up for this, or shows approval for it in any way, his career is over. I am including committee assignments. Imagine this scenario: Elizabeth Warren as Senate Majority leader, determining who would make the best chair for each Senate committee. Then imagine her, a well-educated and published lawyer and law professor, deciding that someone in charge of a fart campaign should get attention, responsibility, and appreciation. No, I can't imagine it, either. Once Hillary and Elizabeth are in charge, things will actually start getting DONE, the whining (by the righties and by the Bernie bros) will no longer be tolerated. The boys will shown to be very young boys, and the women will be shown to be the only mature, acccomplished, responsible, and productive persons in the room. At that point, the movement that provides for the entry of women above the glass ceiling will only be getting started, and there will be no turning back. Fellas, you had your turn, you acted like spoiled, self-entitled idiots, and it's now your turn to sit in the corner.

      Remember -- 18 is now voting age. And these juveniles are an example of why it should never have been lowered from 21. I doubt many of them are 21 or older, but many may be voting age and that is a shame.

      As I have read, the brain is still developing and maturing at 18, so they never should have gotten the vote -- and probably shouldn't be able to enlist in the military either. We need mature, thinking individuals to vote and fight for the country. What I see in that picture are not likely to be old enough.

      Due to his failure to immediately condemn this insanity and demand that this event not be held, EITHER Bernie is actually fostering it or he is approving it on some level. I am a former Bernie supporter. But now, this man strikes me as worse than senile. Just juxtapose both of these things in your mind simultaneously: the man insists that the taxpayers continue to spend over $38,000 per DAY on him and his wife AND at the same time is approving of a grand-scale fart-in. Mad Magazine could not have written anything more insane than this. And because it is real, it has no humor value whatsoever.

He hastily packed several drawers of stuff in brown handled grocery bags, got to the condo apartment door, turned around and stated that we knew he couldn't drive.

      I told him he'd have to restore his things to the drawers and the evening proceeded as usual.

    How The DNC—And Media—Conned Us Into Clinton

    But the cherry on top was an email sent to the DNC on May 26th, 2015 labeled “2016 GOP Presidential Candidates.”

    In it, in plain-spoken, PR-spin-doctoring language, was a game plan for the DNC to perform outreach to reporters—aka spin them like a Dreidel—in order to “muddy the waters” on behalf of HRC [Hillary Rodham Clinton] from criticism about her use of personal emails as Secretary of State and career-long bank account funded by every special interest Democrats pretend to oppose.

    A Bummed Fox News Is Flipping Out As They Realize That Trump Is Blowing The Election

    ...You can see the fear on the right that Trump has already blown this election. The points that the Fox News Sunday panel made about Trump’s campaign were correct. He has no surrogates, no organization, no coherent message. Trump’s campaign gets constantly hijacked by his own personal scandals.

    Trump has no discipline, no message, and no direction.

    Democrats are hitting Republicans like an organized political machine. Hillary Clinton has the backing of her party, and they are hammering Trump on a daily basis.

    It isn’t even July, and conservative groups are abandoning Trump, while the flagship of conservative media is freaking out because they realize that Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is underperforming their worst nightmares.

    Loretta Lynch Storms Fox News And Destroys The GOP Clinton Email Conspiracy

    Attorney General Loretta Lynch took apart Fox News and their baseless conspiracy that President Obama will protect Hillary Clinton in the email 'scandal'.

    ...The conspiracy that is being pushed by Republicans, including the presumptive presidential nominee, is that President Obama is covering up Hillary Clinton’s email crimes, but there has never been any evidence of Obama interfering in any investigation. Chris Wallace’s questions carried with them the implication that President Obama was influencing or complicating the email investigation by endorsing former Sec. of State Clinton.

    With her answers, Attorney General Lynch blew up the Republican email conspiracy theory, and in the process wrecked the one story that Republicans were pinning their hopes of defeating Hillary Clinton on.

    As the Democratic Party continues to gain steam, the baseless Republican conspiracy theories are being crushed into dust.

    The California Democratic Party on Sunday called for a broad overhaul of how the party nominates its presidential candidates, including the elimination of caucuses and most super-delegates.

    The resolution urging the Democratic National Committee to change the nominating rules for the 2020 contest has no official power, but is a symbolic statement from the largest state Democratic party in the nation.

    Many of the changes were sought by supporters of Bernie Sanders, but Hillary Clinton backers also endorsed the effort, resulting in the resolution being unanimously approved at the state party’s executive board meeting on Sunday.

    “It’s very exciting and healing for our party to be able to make a strong statement that we believe in democracy and that leaders should never trump the will of the voters,” said Christine Pelosi, a California super delegate, daughter of House Democratic leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco and a Clinton backer who co-authored the resolution.

    Co-author Daraka Larimore-Hall, the party secretary and a Sanders backer, added, “There are a lot of people, whether they're Clinton supporters or Sanders’ supporters, who see ... there are broken things in our nominating process.”

Kensington, for those who've never been, is usually circumvented by the tour buses because it smells like farts on any given day, and many of the natives have no teefus, which often leads to spittle when conversing.
