"The World's Largest Fart-In" Scheduled for Hillary Clinton's Nomination Speech
Inquistr – Supporters of Bernie Sanders plan what they say will be “the world’s largest fart-in” as a protest against the Democratic party’s nomination of Hillary Clinton, the former United States Secretary of State, Senator from New York and U.S. First Lady, to be the party’s candidate for President of the United States, says a leading activist quoted by the political site Truthdig.
The protest will coincide with Clinton’s nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia during the final week of July, according to protest leader Cheri Honkala, who explained that her organization, The Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign, will host a pre-speech dinner of beans for delegates pledged to support Bernie Sanders.
“We will be holding a massive bean supper for Bernie Sanders delegates on American Street in my Kensington neighborhood on the afternoon of July 28,” said Honkala, who in 2012, was the vice-presidential nominee of the Green Party.
“The Sanders delegates, their bellies full of beans, will be able to return to the Wells Fargo Center and greet the rhetorical flatulence of Hillary Clinton with the real thing,” she said.
The “fart-in” is one of numerous protests planned for the convention, which opens on July 25 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, better known as the home of the NBA Philadelphia ’76ers and NHL Philadelphia Flyers professional sports franchises.

Listen I don’t care how old you are – you don’t always have to be mature. You don’t always have to be highbrow and sophisticated and acting your age. Sometimes you can just laugh at a bunch of people farting, because farts can be really fucking funny. Thousands of people eating a bean buffet then farting all over Hillary Clinton’s general vicinity. 13 years old, 56 years old, any age, that’s just pure funny.
Such a sneaky good protest move too. I mean when you’re standing there screaming and waving a picket sign in the air it’s pretty easy for security to point you out and remove you. But quietly releasing silent-but-deadlies all over the convention floor? Just slowly but surely adding a layer of stench to the room, making everyone slightly uncomfortable and nauseous? Plus you know what they say about smell being tied to memory (I don’t know exactly what they say but they mentioned it in an Old Spice Body Wash commercial) – everyone’s going to leave that place subconsciously associating Hillary with farts. So you can laugh this off but just consider the very real psychological effect this may have is all I’m saying. Benghazi might end up being the least of Hill Dog’s worries after the Bernie Bros unleash fart havoc all over her speech.
