Sanders Delegates to Hold ‘fart-in’ Protest at Convention

Let the headline sink in and quit saying photoshop.


Nothing is more progressive than flatulence. In fact. you wouldn't have modern day progressivism or even a President Barack Obama without farts.   Does it sound too fart-fetched to you ? It really shouldn't because it is community organizing and  Saul Alinsky by the book.


Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are disciples of Saul Alinsky yet they dare not speak his name. Now back to the article at TheHill


Bernie Sanders endorsement of Hillary Clinton on Tuesday isn’t stopping his supporters plans to hold a “fart-in” at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) later this month.

The unusual political strategy will have Sanders delegates consuming a lot of beans before heading to Philadelphia later this month, according to US News and World Report.

Protest organizer Cheri Honkala, national coordinator for the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign, has been stocking up on boxes of dry beans and canned beans.

The plan is for delegates to chow down, then let presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton smell what they think of her.

"The fart-in is to raise attention about things that really stink in our society,” said Dr. Walter Tsou, of the Philadelphia branch of Physicians for Social Responsibility.

Honkala told US News and World Report that Tuesday's endorsement will not stop the "fart-in," — in face, she said, the number of people sending beans "will probably quadruple.”

Honkala also said beans of all sorts and varieties have already been delivered to the organization's office in Philadelphia from as far afield as Texas and Wisconsin.

Sanders on Tuesday explained his decision to endorse Clinton, saying it is the best way to advance progressive values.

"Today, I endorsed Hillary Clinton to be our next president. I know that some of you will be disappointed with that decision," he said.

"But I believe that, at this moment, our country, our values, and our common vision for a transformed America are best served by the defeat of Donald Trump and the election of Hillary Clinton.”
