    That woman yelling reminds me of Hazel Bryan Massery yelling at Elizabeth Eckford as Little Rock was integrated.

    I've heard this term "paid protesters" before. Is there some indication that Sanders and/or Clinton and/or Black Lives Matter pay people to show up and protest?

    We need to check with Baron. If they're not working, but getting government subsidies for school, housing, nutrition, etc., do they have an unfair advantage, that allows them to protest, while the rest of us have to go to work?

    I spent about 60 seconds trying to follow that argument and gave up.

    If this is a DB, I apologize. Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) told an interviewer yesterday any New Yorker who voted for Cruz should have their head examined. King hastily then told the reporter "that's completely off the record."
    It was a live radio interview.

    Maybe it was poorly worded, but...

    Baron sees any success that was "subsidized" with the help of a parent as illegitimate.

    Now, maybe these protestors aren't "paid", but if they are receiving government benefits, I'm sure that Baron would agree, their protesting is being subsidized.

    Therefor, they're not as dedicated, and legitimate, as someone who isn't subsidized.

    You can't just view protestors as fungible though. What is their Value Over Replacement Protestor?

    False again, and I've already explained it multiple times. I have said that success that is subsidized with parental help is legitimate. What isn't legitimate is pretending that you didn't have that parental help is achieving success.

    Get it now?
