"Marissa Johnson, one of the women and the primary point of contact for the people who disrupted the event, is representative of Outside Agitators 206, a rather extreme black liberation movement that totally rejects police authority, is extremely critical of Democrats, and until this event basically dismissed BLM as a Democrat stunt to gain support which will fade into the background like OWS."

1. The Outside Agitators site links to many anarchist sources. Anarchists have little interest

in Bernie's goal -- which is to make government work. They want to dismantle government, not move it closer to socialism. Bernie being successful would be the last thing they'd want.

2. Well, that explains why she sounded more like a homeless person

who'd wandered in by mistake.

The way she had to keep pausing to find out what she was supposed to say gave me the feeling that she was just as interested in embarrassing her sisters in struggle as Bernie. But she wasn't a total failure -- she got a black woman hired, and she's handed Bernie the black guilt vote....

11. I agree with you. I could not stop cringing when I watched the way she acted. She reminded me of a

first grader having a temper tantrum.

8. Oh come on! The smear the messenger/smear the source thing is inevitable.

Wait until the Derailleur Contingent is awake and posting.

9. Thanks- that looks a lot more plausible than the idea they are operatives for Hillary or the GOP

From that website:

Who We Are
We are the Outside Agitators 206.

First off, we have four points of unity:

We center Black voices to celebrate and affirm Blackness. We believe that any movement to end anti-Black racism must be led by Black people.
We believe that everyone has a right to resist their oppressors and what resistance looks like varies for different individuals and different circumstances.
We don’t directly speak to corporate media, nor do we need them. We are our own voice.
Fuck the police: As an institution fundamentally rooted in white supremacy and anti-Blackness we reject the police presence in our communities, absolutely. It is our responsibility to hold each other accountable and keep each other safe.
We are abolitionists in the year 2015. We want an end to police terror, we want an end to slavery that is the prison system, and we want the people who profit from this held accountable.

Aside from that, we are as varied as the plant life in the North West. We are youth, students, workers, parents, teachers, artists, street philosophers, survivalists, revolutionaries, solutionaries, Queer, Black, Brown, Indigenous, and White Allies. We are from the town, we are transplants, we are economic refugees, we are the result of colonization, slavery and genocide. Essentially we are people that deserve a dignified life and want the same for our brothers and sisters in the struggle towards Black Liberation. Cuz when Black folks get free, we all get free.
