Under the fleet.

Gracias ucrdem.. good to see you!

I suppose this will drag on for another 10 days to Super Tuesday, probably longer since Bernie's collected a sizable warchest, but for all intents and purposes the primary is over.

Whew!

It's down to that.

I don't say it's over till it's over.. I'm funny that way.

But, we won Nevada!

The feeling is mutual, Nevada.

Still I'm taking the optimistic view of the Huerta contretemps which is it's swan song of the Sanders campaign.

I was going to use a more colorful term but never mind.

Latinos the country over not to take notice.

Is she #soestablishement, too, like John Lewis, Sherrod Brown, and James Clyburn? All under the bus dwellers in their myopic view?

Gracias!

Why does the Sanders campaign have so much bile for icons of the civil rights movement?

I don't get it.

Whether they chanted "English only" or not, the clear message was that they did not want her speaking Spanish for fear she wouldn't translate honestly and would "sneak in" some pro Hlllary speech. The moderator says as much.

This is an incredibly paranoid crowd.

She keeps on tickin'!

SMH

Delores Huerta doesn't lie.. that's the other side's MO.

It's been verified anyway.. and besides.. the berns don't have a good track record including SS herself.

Gracias~Brave~

Especially the third one. And, it's disgraceful no Spanish translation was allowed by anyone.

They do NOT believe she was denigrated and simply made it up.

This is not good for Bernie. He needs to come out and tell those obnoxious supporters that they need to stop trying to paint Huerta as a liar.

and a minority, she won't be supported.

All I will say without a hide. I will just let it fester inside me and weep.

by people who profess to support Sanders. Good thing she's a fighter, like Hillary.

and what person in their right mind would vote for a guy for president who's never been elected to office in his entire life??

I have no respect for her now.. zero.. not after her trying to reduce Hilary to her lady parts.

It's disgusting .. she and killermike.

On a HAPPY Note..

Too bad her political instincts are so out of whack!

About that beautiful image...that girl in the eggplant-colored dress...wasn't she in the audience in the townhall on Thursday night? The one who asked Bernie a very pertinent question about why he voted against the 2007 comprehensive immigration reform bill?

That picture just makes me grin from ear to ear! Thanks so much for sharing, Cha!

I don't hate her either.

I have too much love to give for people who keep it together..






BlueCali~

warm and fuzzy!

Sometimes it brings a smile to my face. So much love respect and history in that image. Have I ever told you that I love this President? He is the best in my lifetime.

Love you.

No, you've never told me that you loved this president, but I could tell from your previous posts. I love him, too, she. He's, hands down, the best president of my lifetime, too.

Love you back.

Yup! So moving.

Their love is palpable.. they throw John Lewis, President Obama, Delores Huerta, ETC.. under their damn bus at their won peril.

Look who got tossed there, the best and the brightest, the strongest people that have always led this country forward. They think they tossed us under said bus. They are so silly, they tossed us in the bus not under it. Guess who is driving that bus forward, we are.

Remember the old Greyhound Bus Commercial? "Go Greyhound and leave the driving to us." 'Cause Cha we are moving forward.

I can't even imagine how John Lewis felt when President Obama took office.

And one who will be 85 next month!

BTW, I looked at the very short video of the incident on you tube. It starts out with a lot of commotion, with Dolores saying 'Pero necesitamos el espanol.' Then another Latina takes the Mike and says 'It's Dolores Huerta, my goodness.' A man says something like calm down, everyone. Clearly, she was interrupted and treated disrespectfully.

to be treated disrespectfully by those who don't even know who she is.

Susan Sarandon got on twitter and basically called America Ferrera a liar..

https://twitter.com/AmericaFerrera/status/701166307387928577

Did you see all the number of tweets that Delores and America sent out about this?! They don't make shite up.. the other side does.

She could be for BS but she didn't have to get so silly about it.

swell with nostalgia and pride.

you took my breath away.

Beautiful NBachers.

But I can't help an affectionate chuckle when I see Bobby- he looks so . . . Kennedy . . .

icons for Worker's Rights.

Yes, Bobby.. so Kennedy

Gracias~NBachers~

From true progressives of all people is astounding. Attack, attack, attack to defend their candidate. Believe the white people
Huerta heard what she heard, there are people who back her story. The video proves nothing, it's noisey with people shouting, can't hear every word, I will give sarandon the benefit of the doubt she didn't give Huerta and perhaps she wasn't close enough to hear everything. It's disgusting. The elite progressives are whittling away at their allies, at what cost and for what? Or who?
Now I've read several threads from Bernie supporters that young people don't fall for racial divisions. How fucking tone deaf can they be? Look at blm, or maybe they don't count because some white progressives will shut their eyes to racism rather than admit their guy and liberals in general have failed to address racism. There are fucking racial divisions in this country for gods sake, saying young people only want to talk about race when it makes them feel good is just continuing that pathological white guilt that has pushed the problem deeper in our psyche without addressing it head on. To call civil rights leaders liars, corporate shills, in the tank, too stypid, too manipulated too corrupt to know who to support or know what they heard is the lowest of low. How dare they.
I'm sick of it, of for fucks sake, I'm sick of it.

If you march with King, you are above reproach for the rest of your life.

If you march with Chavez, fuck you, you're a liar.

Just saw this.. It didn't happen.

Guess who the "myth" is?

So many EXCELLENT posts after the OP too!

She views it as a reflection of the way that Sanders's supporters are opting to engage in the primary process.

"It’s kind of a crash-and-burn strategy. If we can’t have it our way then we can’t have it at all," Huerta said. "I think that definitely Mr. Sanders should talk to his people. They are very aggressive, they are very belligerent in all our encounters that we’ve had with them. I think he needs to talk to his people and say you’ve got to show some respect. Its not about attacking the other side, it’s about getting our message out to people. Even when we go against Republicans, we need to be respectful."

with everything else going on. Delores Huerta is very sharp.. it gets to the very crux of the matter.

"It’s kind of a crash-and-burn strategy. If we can’t have it our way then we can’t have it at all," Huerta said. "I think that definitely Mr. Sanders should talk to his people.

Oh great, berni, now Delores Huerta has your number. So much for the bros getting the upper hand @ the Nevada Caucuses.

I don't think this is going away.. not with his fans trying to smear this workers' rights icon like they did John Lewis. I'm sure that's not going over well in South Carolina and Georgia, either.

reputation.. the bernbros don't.

This interview with the WaPo has good insight..

Dolores Huerta says she was shouted down with ‘English-only’ chants from a Sanders crowd

snip//

Two sources — both of whom are neutral and not affiliated with the Sanders or Clinton campaigns — told BuzzFeed News that it happened the way Huerta described.


snip//

Well, something just happened in Las Vegas that might really and truly challenge that. Dolores Huerta, longtime civil rights and farm-labor activist as well as a confidant of the late Cesar Chavez, tweeted this Saturday night from a Nevada caucus location:

And unfortunately for Sanders's supporters, there's video that at the very least backs up Huerta's claims that there was an awful lot of shouting and hissing while she was on stage at a Nevada caucus location. A caucus organizer had called for an interpreter willing to explain the process and latest updates to Spanish-speaking or Spanish-dominant caucusgoers. Huerta, clad in a Clinton campaign t-shirt, volunteered.

You can see in the video up above that wasn't so well received. Some sanders supporters may have been disturbed by the idea of a Clinton supporter interpreting events for the entire crowd. But, that alone can not explain all that Huerta said she heard from the crowd.

"It was mostly the organizers," Huerta continued, "the Bernie organizers were shouting 'no no no.' Then a Bernie person stood up and said said no, we need to have it, I can also do translation or whatever. The person who ran the caucus said, well we won’t have a translator. The sad thing about this is that some of the organizers were shouting 'English only! English only!' The Bernie organizers."

snip//

Now, Huerta is a woman in her mid-80s. So any kind of shouting or hissing required a special kind of temerity to begin with. But for those not in the know, Huerta is about as close to a living legend in Latino civil rights circles and labor activism as they come.

The trashing of her in GDP is beyond foul.

leading groups who has and still has lots of discrimination by yelling anything while she is speaking, it doesn't matter what language they are speaking. Yes, she is supporting Hillary, doesn't mean she should be respected.

my money is on Delores Huerta, Thinkingabout.

Gracias!

don't seem to realize that they are revealing the ugly underbelly of the Sander's campaign.
