'Black Lives Matter': We Will 'Shut Down' GOP Convention If We Can
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/25/2015 2:32:26 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Shades of 1968 and the Days of Rage? Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors has announced that "any opportunity we have to shut down a Republican convention, we will."

Appearing on today's Melissa Harris-Perry show on MSNBC, Cullors also blithely spoke of "the murder of Mike Brown" in Ferguson, MO. Neither of the co-guest hosts sitting in for Harris-Perry, Richard Liu and Janet Mock, challenged Cullors' characterization. This despite the fact that even Eric Holder's Justice Department found no wrongdoing on the part of the police officer who shot Brown.

What would be the effect on the election if Black Lives Matter seriously disrupted the Republican convention?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Are they stupid enough to think this kind of nonsense actually helps whatever their cause is?

The overwhelming majority of black murders occur in Democrat run cities, and she wants to shutdown the GOP convention over it.

They seem to want to motivate the conservative base to show up and vote for Cruz.

Yes. The spineless GOP-E will knuckle under in an instant.

Now the Bitter Clingers of the GOP, that might be another story. But they won’t be allowed to respond.

Winner winner chicken dinner!

What do republicans have to do with any of these events?

How did that work out in 1968?

With any luck Cruz will have left the GOP by then and I’ll cheer them.

If it is a GOPe convention celebrating the kneecapping of Ted, then I wish the protestors well. Donald Trump would be running third-party by then, and the GOPe would be well on its way to the dustbin.

This would be great.

“The overwhelming majority of black murders occur in Democrat run cities, and she wants to shutdown the GOP convention over it.”

Absolutely. And most are killed by other blacks or browns.

It’s mind boggling why all along someone or some organization has not been jumping up and down screaming this to the black community. They are really being played like a grand piano and don’t even know it.

Just standing by and allowing their misguided hate obviously doesn’t work. Who’s going to step up to the plate?

If they’re planning to shove a Bush down our throats, you may have the Tea Party out there to help you. Because #alllivesmatter.

I notice they talk a lot about war...but 95% of blacks couldn’t run a mile in 10 minutes to save their lives. It’s high for crackers too, but the obesity rate ain’t nearly as high as it is with these leftwing dogs with all bark.

I’ll file this under ‘yawn’ again.

This racist group has connections with DOJ and the White House. I hope people understand what is happening.
