You think Mike Pence at Hamilton was awkward? Wait till Steve Bannon goes to see The Diary of Anne Frank.

Yep, that sword cuts both ways. Since the audience booed him as well, I guess not all the theater goers are upset the actor used his post play speech to slag the VP.

Oh no . It's in to attack Republican politicians in theatres again.

Et tu, snowflake? OMG, they booed and lectured him, that's equivalent to shooting anyday. No wonder righties need safe spaces.

Wow, you like to live dangerously.

In case you hadn't heard about the latest "word" ban on CKA allow me to remind you that if you or anyone else uses that hilarious and completely accurate word to describe a group or individual,(usually whiny left leaning millennials), who can't "handle the truth" you just might find yourself next in line to scrub up Lemmy's private parts.

But, but, but gatherings of this type with this kind of seating must always be a place of respect.



Feed the beast deliberately then at least have the guts not to whine when it turns to take a bite out of you.

Politicians get booed all the time, as they should, it's not a big deal.

Gov. Mike Pence got a cold reception Thursday when he threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Indianapolis Indians' home opener.

A video posted on social media shows fans booing the governor when he is announced.

While cheers can be heard as well, the boos dominated, according to several people who were present at the game.

"A lot of people were booing him," said Lindsay Watson, the woman who shot the video. "There were a few people cheering but not many. More boos than cheers."

A spokesman for Pence's campaign declined to comment.

Pence's popularity in the state has slipped since a national firestorm last year over Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a religious objections law that critics feared would sanction discrimination against gays and lesbians. Pence garnered controversy again last month when he signed one of the most restrictive anti-abortion bills in the nation.

The Republican governor's hard-line stance on such hot-button issues has earned him praise from social conservatives, a key constituency in Indiana.

It's already tedious and Republicans have 4 years of raging lunatics harassing them on the streets to look forward to, and the mainstream media prog-pods doing this:



It was worth it though just to have seen the faces at MSNBC and Hillary headquarters when the final results came in from Pennsylvania.

It is what it is. Just don't expect the other side to be obligated to play nice when your side acted like boorish jackasses for the better part of the last eight years.

You mean like protesting Obamacare and such?

Yeah, that's exactly the same thing as this.

If you mean Canada won, that is very debatable.

My guess is Canada is in for a long four years or more, recovering economically when the golden goose stops laying eggs for Canada is going to be difficult to say the least.

[Thanos]

Really? What exactly have you won from all of this? The power to make the few things that haven't already been forever ruined that much worse? The right to crow like the poorest winner ever?

You haven't won sweet fuck all and if all you care about are juvenile bragging rights then that's all anyone ever needs to know about you. Man up and take the booing like an adult instead of being such a child all the time.

Obama’s election in 2008 was preceded and followed by violent attacks and property destruction targeted against minorities.

Kaylon Johnson, an African American campaign worker for Obama, was physically assaulted for wearing an Obama T-shirt in Louisiana following the 2008 election. The three white male attackers shouted “Fuck Obama!” and “Nigger president!” as they broke Johnson’s nose and fractured his eye-socket, requiring surgery.

More frequently, Obama’s presidency was marked by effigies of our first black president hanging from nooses across the country, for example in Kentucky, Washington State, and Maine, or being burned around the world. What Trump supporters fail to remember is that following Obama’s election, property was destroyed across the country, for example in Pennsylvania, Texas, and North Carolina, and a predominately black church was torched in Massachusetts.

In 2008, anti-Obama protesters lashed out against minorities because of their discontentment with a black man being voted into the office of president for the first time in our nation’s history. Conversely, in 2016, anti-Trump protesters are holding mostly peaceful demonstrations because of their discontentment with a man, who has ostracized minorities, being voted into the office of president.

And while anti-Trump protesters have engaged in mostly peaceful demonstrations against the president-elect, pro-Trump supporters have been responsible for a wave of attacks against Muslims, Latinos, blacks, and the LGBT community.

According to Mark Potok, senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center civil rights group, there haven’t been “such a rash of hate crimes in the United States since Barack Obama was elected America’s first black president in 2008.” Muslim women are reporting having their hijabs ripped from their heads, while immigrant children are being bullied. Trump’s name and slogan, “Make America Great Again,” are being found alongside swastikas and anti-minority messages in graffiti around the nation.

Ultimately, demonstrators are not protesting Trump because he is Republican. They aren’t protesting him because he is a white male. These protests are because of the bigotry his campaign has emboldened and the fear of discrimination his presidency has the capacity to perpetuate.

During the August 2009 congressional recess, representatives returned to their home states to host town hall meetings detailing the Affordable Care Act. Prompted by an extensive mobilizing effort by conservative lobbying and media groups, right-wing protesters derailed several of these events. In some cases, violence erupted and people wound up in the hospital.

The series of protests is widely considered to mark the dawn of the Tea Party movement. What ensued was a domino effect whereby Democrats lost their majority in the House, and a filibustering obstructionist and a pandering racist can viably compete for the GOP nom this coming July.


On Aug. 11, 2009, in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, the late Sen. Arlen Specter — who had just switched affiliations to the Democratic Party — was literally forced out of a town hall event “after being shoved and booed by … audience members.” According to an NPR report, Specter told media afterward, “We’ve just had a demonstration of Democracy.”

The New York Times described one of “the most raucous events” in Tampa, Florida, hosted by several Democratic lawmakers: “When the auditorium at the Children’s Board of Hillsborough County reached capacity and organizers had to close the doors, the scene descended into violence.”

Amateur video of the event shows Obamacare opponents chanting “You work for us!” before the hall reaches capacity and the doors to the event space are closed, leaving angry would-be protesters in the hallway to yell at anyone they could find.

“Some of the protesters told local reporters they had been urged to come by a local activist group promoted by the conservative radio and television host Glenn Beck,” the Times reported. “Others said they had received e-mail messages from the Hillsborough County Republican Party that urged people to speak out against the plan and offered talking points.”

Beck’s former colleague at Fox News, the aforementioned Sean Hannity, also played a part in organizing the town hall disruptions. According to the Times, Hannity’s website offered tips on how to “Become a part of the mob!” and “Attend an ObamaCare Townhall near you!”

The VP went to a theatre in a city that voted something like 90% in favour of HRC and is surprised that the crowd hates him?

Obviously, he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Say what you want about Obama, but he was smart enough not to go into the lion's den.
