Liberalism is a Mental Disorder: Bernie Supporters Stockpile Beans to Induce ‘Fart in’ at DNC Convention

Come on, already. You Bernie Sanders miscreants make this too easy.

In an effort to show your dismay against Hill of Beans Clinton, you will devour said beans, like them, and then flatulate, en masse, at the DNC convention? Meanwhile, the Black Lives Matters folks are going to punch Trump supporters in their faces for being racist, obviously.

Advocates for poor people and progressive causes say they still plan to make a stink – literally – during Hillary Clinton’s big night accepting the Democratic presidential nomination this month.

The plan: feed beans to Democratic National Convention delegates for Bernie Sanders, and send them into the Philadelphia convention hall to show what they think of the former secretary of state.

Sanders-supporting organizers of the odious protest also are unswayed by the Vermont senator’s Tuesday endorsement of Clinton and will push ahead.

In fact, Cheri Honkala, national coordinator for the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign, expects more beans to pour into her group’s downtown Philadelphia office.

Boxes of dry beans and heavy containers of canned beans already have arrived by mail, Honkala says, in all varieties: navy, pinto, lima and baked, with return addresses in Texas, Wisconsin and across the Rust Belt.

“Those beans will probably quadruple” after Sanders’ endorsement, Honkala says.

Many Sanders supporters “are not happy” about the two major party candidates, she says. “They do not represent the American people. It’s like they’re reality-show characters, two villains who can’t be trusted.”

Organizers have not tested varieties to discern the smelliest option, but Honkala says baked beans likely will be preferred and paired with hot dogs at a feeding location in a “Clintonville” camp in northern Philadelphia.

A second feeding location is likely to be at the group’s office a few blocks from the convention venue for delegates, journalists and others heading into the speech.

You can tell a Bernie supporter by the crazed look in their eyes. Now tell me, am I lying?

    In all fairness to old school liberals much of the DNC are a bunch of hard core Socialists and Marxists.
    i don’t recall liberals like Paul Simon (the Comgressman from Ill.- not the singer), Dirkson, Humphrey, Tip O’Neil, etc. sounding like these crazies (and many of the Repubs. also).
    And I know Frog will leap into action when he sees this, but I can’t respond now, I am fishing for bass and am tuning out.

      I remember meeting Paul Simon in the early 90’s when he was pushing NAFTA.

      I don’t know a single Marxist, and I know tons of Left Wing folks. And although Bernie talks about socialism, what he proposes is really a mix of both capitalism and socialism– not pure socialism.

        Marxists and socialists seem to exist mainly in conservative people’s minds, not in the real world so much.

    I can see this being a potentially hazardous situation, with all of the lit marijuana cigarettes that will most assuredly be in proximity….

    The voice votes could be interesting when the presiding official asks for the votes of “those opposed”.

    Stupid hipsters… Why don’t they just chug salt water and make themselves throw up all over the convention hall?! That would be far more effective.

    There are crazy people among every candidate’s supporters, and certainly on both sides of the political spectrum. I think this is ridiculous myself. No Bernie supporter I know is planning to do this, or thinks it is a good idea. At least it the farting idea is nonviolent, although obnoxious.

    I certainly hope no one is harmed at either convention. Politics in the U.S. is getting to be a crazy reality show. It’s too bad it’s so hard to move to Canada. The seem more sane there.

    Where is BTN?

    How come he can’t tell me why only thugs would be killed ?

    Why is he running from Chuck’s simple question ?

      I don’t know where BTN is, but if he was guessing only thugs would kill each other, that is certainly one possibility. Some people seem to go to political events these days for the very purpose of getting into a shouting match or even a physical confrontation.

      Neither of these conventions are ones I would want to go to, so I know I won’t be killed at either of them.

      I hope no one is injured or killed at either one.

        Wrong Again Frog

        With respect of course.

        Thugs go there to start shit and attack normal everyday Americans.

        Try again

          What I said was “Some people seem to go to political events these days for the very purpose of getting into a shouting match or even a physical confrontation.” If you want to call such people thugs, okay.

          I don’t see how you jump to the conclusion that I necessarily disagree with you on this issue.

          Well, maybe I do disagree with you. I don’t know. It was unclear. I do think that some people go to political events these days for the very purpose of getting into a shouting match or even a physical confrontation– and I think that they come from different sides of the political spectrum. If you think your tribe is always flawless and the other political tribe is always at fault, then I do disagree with you.

        Of course I can’t speak for btn. But I do know that neither of you can predict the future and know who, or what kinds of people, will be killed or harmed at either of the political conventions. I hope no one is harmed. We don’t need that. We need to come together as a nation and solve our problems.
