Why is black lives matter targetting Sanders and not the GOP?

[MidwestD]

It would take courage to go the republican events and run up on GOP candidates or someone like Hilary.

So they went after Bernie and his crowd full of the passive cacs who made Obama president.

i agree with the first part, disagree on the 2nd.
Bernie's crowds arent passive cacs, I went to one of his first town halls after announcing, he draws people from all walks of life.

I used the wrong word i should have said 'pacifist' cacs not 'passive' cacs.

And I am also a bit put off by how this thread is full of so many people sounding like the Fox News loving idiots who frequent places like RedState and HotAir with the George Soros stuff.
Soros has been funding a grip of civil rights groups for years and he has funneled millions into the upstart black civil rights groups over the past year that has helped them actually with mobilization and organization: Billionaire Spent $33 Million To Support Ferguson Protests
Using Right Wing talking points to attack someone you don't like means you need to shut the fukk up when those same talking points are used against someone you do like.

How is it a right wing talking point to point out that one of BLM's main founders is also one of the biggest Hillary supporters? And that in an enormous coincidence BLM is attacking the only candidate out of like 50 who also happens to be the biggest threat to Hillary. I have to question people who are still caping so hard for them at this point when their agenda is so obvious at this point

Its not being pointed out as just a statement of fact but instead brought up like Soros, Hillary and BLM activists are sitting around in dark back rooms orchestrating attacks on Bernie Sanders.
The foundation that Soros funds that gave money to BLM also has been giving money to other civil rights organizations since the 90s.
And while I am not saying it is out of the realm of possibility that they are political agents it is just as likely that they are hitting the progressive candidate who just so happens to be the most accessible of all the other Dem candidates.
Hillary has been doing these tiny little sit down/town hall things for the most and she has better security I bet. And I am not even sure if Jim Webb and Martin O'Malley have even been out on the road. Bernie presents more opportunity for agitation.

I don't get this complaint. Protesting is supposed to be confrontational and disruptive. Any protest worth a damn has been that way.
Why are so many of you acting like Bernie Sanders is some sort of sacred cow? This is presidential politics and that shyt gets rough; no one should expect to be treated with kid gloves who decides they want to be president. And this stuff is actually being effective because it is making Bernie's campaign address racial issues when they had no intention of doing so officially at all.
Bernie has an optics issue that his team needs to address (the fact that his entire senior campaign staff is nothing but white men is another example of his tone deafness on diversity) and is going to have to learn how to craft his message in relation to the racial issues that are a major point in this country.

I'm ok with the protest, I'm ok with the shouting, I'm ok with the disruption of a meeting/show/[insert gathering]. What is "the wrong way" IMHO is when you ask a question let a mutha fuka answer the got damn question. Now instead of being able to dialogue with Bernie on national television or in front of a large audience the candidate is going to throw out some sound bites or lay a plan out on paper. I get the importance of the message though. Also, in terms of overall strategy, smacking your ally in the mouth is probably not the best way to go about it. I notice mostly women up there too, in fact I notice almost exclusively women doing all this...unless I missed something. IF i'm correct though, it's pretty fukin suspect and shady that the feminist movement (a la Hillary) is hijacking BLM. i might be wrong on that point though.

Never the less it's the same shyt I tell Christians. If you want to preach/convert/educate somebody you can't get all in their face yelling You're WRONG YOU"RE WRONG and expect them to agree with you. That type of action typically turns more minds away form your cause then towards it.

Sure did Bernie release a statement? Yeah absolutely. How many "liberals" saw that, including myself, and were more upset than not. Short term gains (a statement) are hardly worth losing your populous appeal.

Also,

Let's face it the GOP is in their death throws AND are/have been the largest threat to minorities and the underclass, now at the eve of their demise liberals are going to fracture.

Ultimately this is not really a good thing IMHO. Or rather it's not a smart thing and there are ways to achieve these goals without alienating allies.

you can call it right wing all you want, but if BLM doesnt start going after hillary soon ,what little support i have for them will be lost.
