After ‘Fart-In,’ Sanders Fans Consider Future Moves

NBC: PHILADELPHIA — The fart-in planned by Sanders supporters at the Democratic National Convention materialized a day earlier than expected, with several Sanders delegates from Massachusetts passing wind around 6 p.m. ET on Wednesday, organizer Cheri Honkala told NBC News.

Honkala, of the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign, has said she staged the protest to bring attention to a Democratic nomination process that she and many Sanders supporters say “stinks.”

Honkala, who ran as Green Party candidate Jill Stein’s running mate in 2012, said she first tried feeding beans to Sanders delegates on Tuesday, in front of the AT&T SEPTA subway station. But Honkala said she was arrested for disorderly conduct and led her away in handcuffs. She said she was released a few hours later.

  1. Amusing but hardly novel. In the 70’s a Social Work Professor mentioned bean eating as a tactic to accomplish social agendas at public meetings. Students laughed, but leave it up to people like Bernie to resurrect 50 year old windy ideas.

  2. Actually, this was an Alinsky tactic threatened in Rochester to bring Kodak into line. I believe the venue was the Rochester symphony, orchestra level seating.
