She has been horrible on twitter for weeks now, just beyond snide and bullying, much like in this video.

Huerta is, without exaggeration, a civil rights icon. She's given her life to fight the good fight.

A truly horrible person.

I couldn't even watch the whole video in the OP. The way she kept going on about, "how could you not know she gets millions from Wall Street? And Monsanto! GMOs!!" I knew how the rest would go and bet the word "oligarchy" was said repeatedly. I wonder what her DU name is.

Triggered total anger. Yes, I wonder that too!

Ugh, white privilege at it's finest.

No, Susan, he voted against the entire Kennedy 2007 immigration reform bill. I couldn't keep watching after that. She was being so rude to Huerta, yelling and laughing in her face. What a despicable human being.

And they say *we* start this stuff? Huerta was classy enough to not mention that SS got in her face earlier when Snopes used SS as a source.

Bored with trolling AA?

And I don't troll AA. My family is mostly White, including me, with some Blacks and Asians. AA issues have been a long-time concern of mine. I was one of the DUers on the original thread in the Obama Support group that called for the starting of the group. Unless the AA group is now not allowing anyone to post there unless they themselves are Black, I have felt it appropriate to express my views there also.

But, a few days ago, I finally had to trash the group, for now, because, instead of it being a forum to discuss positive ideas about serious issues like: how to encourage the hiring of Blacks and the issuing of government contracts, at all levels, to minority and women owned businesses, or if anything can be done to ameliorate the harmful SCOTUS affirmative action decisions, or getting a consensus on what the top issues should be to focus on in the area of prison reform (arrest warrants for debts?/solitary confinement?), or even election protection issues, an area I have worked in a long time (sued the Lieutenant Governor of my state and mostly won the decision), it has devolved into a support group for one single political candidate. I think, in this very polarized environment, it would have benefited the AA group to have had a rule that posts in support of or opposition to a specific candidate should be posted in their respective groups and not in AA, but that's just my .02 cents.

In any event, this post on Susan Sarandon would be useful to discuss in GDP, if you feel so inclined to repost it there.

night in there. I like my hair parted the way it is.

I don't post in AA about my candidate unless asked about her, but notice you were quick to post when yours is under discussion. The forum is about AA issues, and the Black posters are the best judges of what topics are fair game. I follow the lead of the other hosts about what rides the line. There is hardly any consensus in the AA forum on a primary candidate, so you are speaking an untruth.

Now you have moved on to policing ideas in here? This is the HRC forum and a safe space for us, or it should be. You have no need to be in here. You have had no comment on the disgusting behavior of the actress in the OP on a civil rights hero. I guess you won't either.

not in any way disrespect the group and when I did notice, simply asked that the discussion be reposted.

What is your point?

Do you go around disrespecting a national icon by insulting his/her intelligence and lying to their face? Not a winning idea.

seeing that still from the vid and knowing how the berns treat people.

This will not end well for her.

My money is on Delores Huerta.. Sarandon wanted ralph freaking nader for cripe sake.. now she's yelling for berni.. thinking she's going to change people's mind's with her aggressive bullying tactics.

No.

I made the mistake of watching and I'm boiling with anger now. Not good for the blood pressure!

I don't often say this about anyone, but I truly hate Sarandon after watching that. Huerta has class. I was waiting for her to yell at Sarandon to shut the fuck up. I definitely would have!

know better would do that. It serves no purpose and actually damages the BS campaign.

I've heard it's gone viral as it should. the younger Latinos won't put up with that or anybody who's thinking rationally.

Riff

I probably should have put a warning on it.

I--Still and always--will love Rocky Horror Picture Show though..

I'm gutted she's being like this.

I'm still so pissed over what happened to Huerta.

The hate spewing forth is worse than I can even comprehend.

Well, I hope they won't be too mad when they lose Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona.

Bernie doesn't need enemies.

I support her right to endorse and campaign for Bernie over Hillary. I do not support her in any way whatsoever when she harasses an icon of civil rights simply because that icon does not "feel the Bern." I am very disappointed in her.

or not.

There are Sanders supporters who do this kind of thing irl. Entitlement.

And she supported Edwards in 2008, even though she now harasses people over Clinton's IWR vote.

while good Democrats get thrown underneath of it

Thelma & Louise, that might not be the best idea for the Sanders campaign.

It would, however, be par for the course so far for the Sanders campaign.

You win the internets with that comment

supporting Edwards despite his opposition in 2008.

It's like some weird hipster need to be anti-feminist to be considered "real." It would make sense if she were at least consistent, but since she supported Edwards despite all of that, then wtf?

making her just as responsible for the war for oil in Iraq than any single senator. Anyone who knew the Project for the New American Century knew that Bush intended to take us to war with Iraq and then Iran (the Pentagon pulled the rug out from under him before he could go after Iran in 2005). Did Sarandon study the Project for the New American Century before she declared Gore the same as Bush?If she did, then she took a political position that was obviously false, presumably to further her own career. If she did not, then she had no business proclaiming herself a political expert. The same goes for Nader and Michael Moore.

I think that Sarandon's publicist has told her that she will get more roles if she promotes herself as "edgy". This is all about her career and nothing to do with the lives of ordinary working class people. Sort of like how Kate Moss revitalized her career by admitting to using cocaine.

She asks "Does Hillary know you?" or something. Um, yeah? She does. No one who talks to Huerta like she's a little kid gets to even hint at being some kind of working class champion.

'Snopes expert witness'

Dolores was so calm, while Susan tried to 'correct' her about Bernster's immigration record. Sra Huerta wrote an article that was out just yesterday with several times he messed up on the issue.

Who the hell does she think funds those movies?

In her space and face and then completely disrespects Dolores by lying about the "segment" bit.

Either Susan doesn't know the first damn thing about legislation or she is a straight up liar. I vote liar.

ETA: It is no wonder that Susan talks about her body parts...she apparently doesn't have a brain.

I can't believe she thought it was ok to Bernsplain to Huerta about agricultural practices and immigration. Fucking duh.

Dolores a professional victim -

I have watched the hypocrisy of this "pro-labor, anti-oppression" crew for months. Any excuse to throw actual unions and civil rights under the bus. You don't get to say you are some left-wing champion when all you do is tear down the people who really put in the work.

..the US Presidency to.
You get to vote vagina or penis. According to the bros .
Who raised these people? Good lord!

Can't wait until Bernie loses AZ. She didn't lie about being attacked, and the love you guys have for attacking civil rights icons is on notice. LOL.

This disgusting contingent of civil rights icons bashers will lose so big it will make a sound in space.

She's a hero.

He's never accomplished a thousandth as much, or put himself on the line as she has done.

Your puny attempt to diminish her is laughable.

moneyed sham that is the democratic party.

Um, sure!

Yes, you're Blocked.

You know, the party that Hillary Clinton has been a proud member of since before most of Sanders' supporters were born. It's not the Green Party, or the Communist Party.

Spin, spin, spin!
There is an excuse,
Spin, spin, spin!
And a reason for Bernie's loss in Nevada!

What we're pretty much saying here is, "Sense or GTFO" and note which group you're in before posting. I don't go invading yours because I actually possess some manners.

bernbros don't.

Yes, you've been blocked.

She supported Edwards too, once.
Sure has a lousy track record anyway.

This whole thread is a joke.

It was a Tweet, but how much can you really believe as truth on social media. I'll look for the link..
The whole thing has been taken outta context & is spinnin faster by the minute.

..exactly as was intended, and runs with it to discredit & mockingly insult the greates icon of the Hispanic community, and I'm the classless one??? I've got more class in my pinky toenail than Susan has in her off-into-the-abyss-mouthing-off-for-bernie-love-fest.
WTF is wrong with her..jaysus someone reel her in.
Way to make a fool of yourself in front of the whole world.

She just eliminated the entire Hispanic voting block from Bernies shrinking base.

There's more class in my kitties' litterbox.

Lol

but you guys are so hopped up on your imagined moral superiority that it would be lost on you.

think it's funny, either.

Yes, you been blocked.

I guess I dragged some folks in here who wanted to fight, but none had anything to say about how horrible their surrogate is.

@snopes if anyone else wants to tell them about using biased sources.

The person who did the Snopes article was being snarky with people in social media. So much for them.

The president she helped elect when she voted for Nader.

ughhhhhhhhhhhhh

i love Sanders but i can not stand some of the people who are behind him. but seeing that she supported Edwards who co sponsered the IWR and had a very conservative record i think people like her just attach themselves to certain candidates and push the same crap over and over again.

i already didn't think much of her opinion after the whole Nader thing.

but the way she is treating Huerta here is just such a fucking turnoff .

Huerta is trying to respond by saying Hillary never asked her to not protest monsanto because SUsan sarandon is an idiot who is talking like it's some huge conpsiracy.

“If more people were smoking instead of drinking, people don’t get mean on weed, don’t beat up their wives on weed, and don’t drive crazy on weed. They just get hungry, don’t go out of the house, or laugh a lot. I think it would make for a much more gentle world,”

Guess Susan has been drinking on the campaign trail.

Weed doesn't stop assholes from behaving like assholes. That's yet moar disinformation.

In fact, she's uncomfortably similar to her character in "Thelma and Louise".

Shoots off (her mouth, in this case) with no understanding of or foresight about the consequences.

Her universal F-you to Democrats, so admired by Bernie fans, was a case in point.

Not the sharpest pencil in the box.

Other than a superiority complex all up in somebody's face being an arrogant and disrespectful bully! Just not the kind of people that need to be running the government! We'd be a Third World country in about three months in!

Thank you for the suggestion! xo

Been reading for years and felt there were enough great voices already...but this compelled me to write. Susan Sarandon, condemning Hillary for the source of her speaking fees when Sarandon accepts money from the pharmaceutical industry as the voice over of all the Tylenol commercials? Really!?

It ought not be on the market at all.

They found out...

* Susan Sarandon is a Face of L'Oreal.
* L'Oreal uses mica in some of its products.
* Mica is mined by slave labor in India.
* The mica mine is owned by Merck.
* Merck's lobbying firm is connected to the Hillary Clinton campaign.

WHERE do they find the time to do all this shit?

Apparently they figured out how to put Bigfoot tires on it.

I don't know about L'Oreal, but American-made cosmetics (and soap, for that matter) must use synthetically-created mica.

For two reasons; synthetic mica does not suffer from the slave labor problem, and it doesn't have the heavy metal impurities like lead and cadmium that can seriously screw up your year.

I use micas in homemade soap sometimes. It all comes from an American factory that creates it from scratch.
