PATHETIC – AT 8:05 A.M. ET:  There were a disturbing number of people at the Democratic Convention who demonstrated the degree to which the Democratic Party has been infiltrated by the hard left.  From the Daily Mail: 

A moment's silence for slain police officers was interrupted by chants of 'Black Lives Matter' during the Democratic convention.

Dallas Sheriff Lupe Valdez was on stage paying a stirring tribute to the five officers who were gunned down in her city on July 7.

The veteran officer then asked the crowd to remember all of the cops who had fallen in the line of duty with a quiet moment of reflection.

She said: 'Please help me to honor ALL of America's fallen officers with a moment of silence.'

Then members of the crowd shouted the controversial slogan, and it was heard all around Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center.

Valdez ignored the jeers and carried on with her speech.

'I am privileged to introduce to you some of the brave family members left behind by our fallen officers. Let's hear from them,' she said.

Jennifer Louden, Wayne Walker and parents Wayne Owens and Barbara Owens then walked out onto the stage.

They all had loved ones who were killed while working as police officers.

COMMENT:  Having relatives of the slain officers was the right thing to do.  It was reported that Democratic officials were alarmed by the tone and imagery of the first nights of the convention – an absence of American flags and a tone reminiscent of the late 1960s.  Flags were flown in for Hillary's speech.  National security became the theme of the third convention night.

It might have been insincere, but at least some Democrats know they have a problem with the loonies.
