other things that Hillary is for.

I don't give a rat's ass about all the other stuff.

Nothing can override my hatred of war and fracking and the TPP and the Third Way.

+1000

This post is named in a PURPOSEFULLY denigrating manner toward Susan Sarandon. I watched the ENTIRE video and at NO time did Susan HARASS ANYONE!

outright lies. And they think it is okay because they need to win at all costs.

She deserves to be trolled...

she doesn't deserve to be trolled or trashed

posting a video of an actress badgering an icon? We didn't make SS harass her, she did that of her own volition

Clinton. And then whining and playing the victim when the other half of the Democratic Party gets pissed off about it and tries to correct the record and get that previously respected individual to retract their smear.

It's the same pattern, over and over. Hillary is unelectable *and* she's tarnishing the Democratic brand. Dump her.

did Hillary hire Susan Sarandon to harass Dolores Huerta?

Even good people do stupid shit for big wads of money, even if that money is only going to a charity that they run.

this is beyond ridiculous at this point

Do you have no shame?

Do YOU have no shame, "Dem2"?

is all you got? Very nice.

I stand by it 100%.

Inane and superficial is hardly the word I would use for that quote. One of the greatest quotes ever. Unless you meant that the the poster used it inanely or something.....

Because if we called them out on their lies, Hillarians couldn't whinge about alleged racism or sexism.

She's burned all that good-will and credit.

If she doesn't want to be attacked for being a provable liar who throws around claims of racism casually in order advance the chances of her chosen candidate...she should stop doing so and being so.

and all, sadly true

I thought Susan Sarandon handled things beautifully... I tend to get rather shrill when I attempt to talk to people who are so willfully ignorant or who cover their asses with lying.

Like so many other HRC surrogates, Delores has demeaned and disgraced herself.

Her past created tons of cred. Her lies diminish that.

The moderator yelled "English only" and the crowd cheered. Appalling.

I'll try but I'm on my phone.

My wife is furious. She's fairly apolitical and isn't paying much attention to the primaries, but she's now focused like a laser beam on Bernie Sanders and it ain't good.

You don't want to see Latin women get mad, and smearing Dolores Huerta is the surest way I know to get a middle-aged Latina really angry.

It was disgusting

Can you believe this?

It brought me out of retirement!

I just IMed you something.

Saturday and Tuesday can't come quickly enough.

I cannot wait!

CLAIM: Supporters of Bernie Sanders shouted "English only" at civil rights activist Dolores Huerta during one Nevada caucus event, ostensibly objecting to a translation of remarks into Spanish.

FALSE

http://www.snopes.com/sanders-english-only-huerta/

The source for snopes is Susan Sarandon.

The Sanders fanatics don't see the racism there, though. All they see is their God.

Susan Sarandon was not trolling or trashing Dolores Huerta. She was just informing her of a fact that will interest Dolores Huerta.

But you keep right on pushing this and Bernie will once again have to come out an denounce your behavior.

You should be embarrassed.

If Susan wants to talk down to Dolores like she is a lowly housekeeper, go for it.

or held responsible for what they do or say.....and they certainly can't stand up for themselves.

The vast them vs. us conspiracy.

Putting a finger in her face and talking down to her like she was lower than low, like she doesn't belong, like she is no better than dirt, like she isn't supposed to have an opinion. Sarandon is a Naderite and has no business in the Democratic Party, period and has no business even walking on the same ground as Dolores.

Wow, just wow...

isn't it?

Susan did not "harass" her, she was pointing out facts, if that is harassment then you have a problem with the truth. And treating her as a "lowly housekeeper"??? Obviously, that is how you see Dolores, because at no time did I see Susan treating her in that way.

This woman Dolores went out saying this about Sanders which are not true, what is wrong with pointing it out to her that what she said is false? Should she be allowed to continue telling lies because she is an icon? Bull!

You just pointed out, unintentionally, the real problem with politics in this country, everyone is a fanatic, they don't want to hear facts, I would venture to say that 90% of voters have no idea about the plans of the politicians they vote for, they always vote against their own interests.

but you get to decide who has business talking to other people? Awesome! I'm so glad you were declared "in charge"!!!

He has more integrity in his little to than Hillary or Dolores combined!

Hadn't gone on his narcississtic run. Not A dime's worth of difference? BS

Fucking laughable.

Unless this place has turned into a Green Party site. (I actually wouldn't be too surprised about that). Ralph Nader used to be an icon until he screwed over this country with his narcissistic actions. As far as George W Bush goes, the Iraq war is not the only deplorable thing he did.... Far from it. The environment, torturing/water boarding prisoners, outing of Valerie Plame, suspending habeus corpus. I could go on and on.

eeeeeeiiiiiiiiiii

No business talking to Dolores ATTTT ALLLLLLL!!

You know, there's a point where the Clinton campaign's distinctive bellycrawl almost becomes impressive.

That's pretty much your 'reverse 2½ somersaults with a twist', right?

for those poor folks scrubbing toilets for the likes of multi-millionaire candidates like Clinton.

Bernie is fighting for those "lowly housekeepers" to have higher wages, affordable healthcare, and a better life.

And ironic. And just plain... well you know. Oh, maybe you don't.

I wonder when you will realize what you actually just did there. Wow.

.

...no matter how many times he's admonished and disavowed the bullying, they just seem to double down. Not much of an endorsement for a people's revolution. Not much of an endorsement for their leader.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

What a horrible thing to say about an 86 year old civil rights icon! Deserves to be trolled? What's wrongcwithvthis poster? This is evil!

Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's their opinion.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Accusation without any evidence.

Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future

Though admitedly it might be a bit of a stretch, I still give her the benefit of the doubt that her legitimate perception didn't match reality (it happens to people all the time), but it's completely understandable that some would consider it deliberate dishonesty. It didn't help that multiple Clinton super fans were gleefully posting something that has been proven to have not happened. Had me fooled before more came out, I was pretty pissed off.

I have to assume she's lying.

No one should ever get in the face of an icon like Dolores.

Lame.

...

The alternative is almost worse that anyone would condone lying because of the past deeds of that person. Who thinks like this?

a younger (69) privileged white woman harrassing an elderly (85) Hispanic woman and human rights icon to convince People of Color about the revolution, eh?

discussion with someone with whom you disagree!

And make that 85 YOUNG. If she's young enough to be there to influence the outcome of the election, she's young enough to get into a head-on discussion about the candidates.

I don't take kindly to people confronting 85 year old persons in such an aggressive way.

Really, Susan, did you really need to do that?

...what a disgrace.

Sarandon talks to this civil rights icon like she's telling off her housekeeper.

• First, they call @NARAL, @HRC & @PPact "establishment"
• Then they demonize John Lewis & call Dolores Huerta a liar

Ppl practically wanting to carve #Bernie next to #MLK on the granite in DC for 1yr of protests dismiss #Lewis & #Huerta's LIFELONG ACTIVISM.

...are they really Democrats?

Their candidate is an opportunistic one, keeping the party at arm's length throughout his career, at least in his self-identification, but voting with the party over 98% of the time.

I suspect the Democratic party for many of these flame-throwers and bullies is just a convenient shell for them as they attempt to force a wedge between Democrats.

would have more class than that.

...such destructive behavior. I don't believe anyone behaving like that is operating in the best interests of our party.

All I can think of when I see that is 'privilege.' She had the luxury to go on and on about Monsanto and campaign contributions, oblivious to the concerns that Ms. Huerta brought to the caucus. She couldn't have cared less.

The most effective strategy, if Sarandon or others really want supporters for Bernie, would be to listen to what the person is saying with some modicum of respect for their opinion. After all, we all bring our issues and interests to this coalition with the hope and opportunity for those to be heard, and, if fortunate, to have them acted on in the legislature.

Badgering folks, like Sarandon was doing to this beloved octogenarian, is the absolute worst way to treat a potential ally.

it's not just anonymous trolls on the internet harassing people

no class at all.
