The Hypocrisy of Susan Sarandon
She's one of the 1% the Sander's supporters say they despise. She's 2016 "Face of Loreal/Paris", taking millions from them.
I wish Dolores Huerta had said to Sarandon "Do you know about Loreal, and it's Global Conglomerate, Child labor Violations & Racism in Marketing?

Mica Mining
Makeup’s glitter isn’t as shiny as it may seem. The secret behind glittery foundation, blush, and other goods in the cosmetic industry is mica. Mica is a mineral used not only in makeup but in nail polish, car paint and electronic chips (Doherty & Whyte, 2014). Sixty percent of this mineral is mined in India (Nesbitt, 2014). Many major cosmetic companies, including L’Oréal, source mica from India. The dark side of this shiny mineral is child labor. Child labor is a global issue affecting many developing countries, including India. According to Unicef, thirteen percent of children around the world (excluding children in China) aged five to fourteen are entrenched in child labor. In India, twelve percent of children aged five to fourteen are engaged in child labor (UNICEF, 2014). Since the mica industry is largely unregulated in India, tracking child labor in the mica market is difficult (Nesbitt, 2014). The lengthy and intricate supply chain that most companies go through to get their mica makes it very difficult to be sure that there is no child labor involved throughout this process.
According to DanWatch, an independent Danish watchdog media group that conducts investigative journalism on global issues, much of the world’s mica supplies are illegally mined in two states in eastern India, Jharkhand and Bihar (Lendal, Rosholm & Ulsøe, 2014). Illegal mining activities are extensive. The country reported producing 15,000 tons of mica in 2011 but exported 130,000 tons (Doherty & Whyte, 2014). The extra 115,000 tons were mined illegally (Doherty & Whyte, 2014). Much of this illegal mining is conducted by children (Lendal et al., 2014). According to Jharkhand’s state commission for the protection of children’s rights, and the children’s rights group Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA), an estimated 5,000 children work in these mines from a young age (Lendal et al., 2014). Both groups admit that there is no real way of validating this number (Lendal et al., 2014).
During its investigation DanWatch met with families whose children work in the mines and “observed children as young as 5 years [old] work for hours in the mines” (Lendal et al., 2014 p. 12). Children working in illegal mica mines in Bihar earn about 1.4 Euros a day compared to the 2.7 Euros that workers make per day in the legal mica mines (Lendal et al., 2014). Many children involved in these mines are not able to go to school because their families depend upon the money their children make mining this precious mineral for food and other necessities (Lendal et al., 2014).

... or two.
I didn't know that the Clinton camp cared so much about the blood-curdling dealings of Loreal!
So much outrage for a Sander's supporter who DARES to associate with Loreal.
Oh wait. Here's a picture of Clinton supporter, Demi Lovato--who campaigned for Hillary Clinton in Iowa City.
You Clinton supporters must be horrified!!!
When can we expect the personal attacks on Lovato and Hillary Clinton to begin???
I'm assuming that you guys will get to work real quick on that press release. Don't all trip over each other, as you run for your keyboards!!
that's different because....
Revolution?
That's all I got. 
. . . ** giggle ** . . . 
That's the issue isn't it.
She's not a resident, she shouldn't have been wandering around the caucus floor.
There's got to be a certain amount of hubris in her that she'd think it was OK to lecture-lie to the founder of the frigging FARM WORKERS UNION about agricultural issues in that fashion. More to the point, the video makes it quite clear that she was whitesplaining to the Little Mexican Lady. For the jury, that's deliberate, intentional 
and it is born out by the video evidence.
It was an ugly, ugly thing, and I'll never think of her quite the same way ever again. It's amazing how people really are when their guard is down and they don't realize they're on camera. SS acquitted herself very poorly.
Failing so much.
Yeah...
Well done, you.
Amazingly ironic.
There would be no point in even talking about Sarendon if she hadn't endorsed Sanders who is, after all, running for the same office as HRC is. Oreal is not a poster child for humane treatment of their workers and the environment. Until very recently many makeup companies tested their products on the living eyes of animals. THe whole deal is scummy, IMHO, but that has nothing to do with your post.
Attacking Sarandon is just another in a wild series of such tactics and recognised as such.
See you in Philadelphia
I don't know if you've ever heard of this product:
Lash Lure was a "permanent mascara" - a dye for your lashes that was to be applied in a beauty parlor. Unfortunately for the customers, it was made out of a coal tar dye called paraphenylenediamine. I know, I know..."OMG IT HAS CHEMICALS IN IT!" In this case, your panic is justified: this is nasty-ass shit. Here's the MSDS for it:
http://www.sciencelab.com/msds.php?msdsId=9926499
Lash Lure blinded dozens of women and killed several. When the government finally fixed the Pure Food and Drug Act to include cosmetics, the FDA's first act was to seize all the Lash Lure in the country.
There was also a wonderful drug, Elixir of Sulfanilamide. Sulfa was an early kind of antibiotic The mothers of the South asked their druggists for sulfa in liquid form, so the Massengill company (yup, the same outfit that invented Massengill Disposable Douche) came up with one. Their head chemist, after long and tiresome research, discovered the only solvent that would dissolve sulfanilamide was diethylene glycol...so, being completely free of the requirement to conduct safety testing, the company dissolved pounds of sulfanilamide in gallons of antifreeze and shipped it out to unsuspecting druggists all across the nation. After it managed to kill a hundred people, the government did an action the teabaggers would describe as "overstepping its bounds" and seized all of it...they even went to the homes of people who bought it and collected it up. The man who invented it committed suicide.
Here is a pro-animal testing website that talks about those two incidents. I tried not to get so blatant, but it was the first non-blog/non "aficionado" website I could find, so take it with as many grains of salt as you care to.

Damn it Janet stop the hate we see right through your facade!!!!
Susan!people don't like to look too closely at their own incongruities 
thanks for posting
Here's Demi Lovato, L'Oreal faceperson and marketing babe--who put on a free concert for Hillary Clinton in Iowa City:
Let the Rovian attacks against Hillary supporter Demi Lovato begin!!!
Watch out, Demi! The Hillary-Rovian attack machine is coming after you. Apparently being associated with L'Oreal is grounds for a public evisceration.
voting for the lesser of the two evils Let's not forget what other factors were involved. I guess it is the Goebbels theory at work here..... “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/12/6/1260721/-The-Nader-Myth
should sit herself on the sidelines and allow our party to operate without her interference.
She is disqualified. And that's no propaganda.
Demi Lovato, a Clinton supporter who campaigned in Iowa and put on a free concert for Hillary in Iowa City--has shilled for L'Oreal too.
I assume the Clinton-Rovian attack machine will be just as outraged (outraged, I tell you!) at Demi Lovato as they are off Sarandon.
Hillary supporters will be lining up--to protest the horrors of Clinton supporter and free-concert-give Demi Lovato now.

The San...erm Hillary campaign needs to tell the Bernie Br...erm Hillary camp(no I won't go there
) to knock it off.
that just another mark of many against B...erm HRC supporters
the heckler's verbiage to Ms. Huerta was despicable (oh wait, it never happened)
Now Hillary camp is throwing her under the bus because she told the truth about Huerta.
Oh, and about that mica thing...
Many major cosmetic companies, including L’Oréal, source mica from India
I suspect most cosmetic companies source their mica from the cheapest source available...probably India. It's not just a L'Oreal. Does that make it right? No, of course not, but how many of you Hillary supporters use L'Oreal or any other major brand of makeup?
Does Susan know about this? Maybe and maybe not. But this I do know...in spite of her previous support, they are throwing her under the bus:
Some of the more recognizable candidates that have received money from Sarandon (snip), Hillary Clinton (both Senate and presidential campaigns), (snip), of course, Obama.
Oh wait...maybe this is why they are throwing her under the bus:
Her passion and nuanced view has caused her to question even the fundamentals of the American political system. She says, since she knows “how it works,” she’d rather lend her time and energy to grassroots organizations that have more power to affect immediate change.she’s been a critic of Obama, saying:
Sure, [I’m disappointed with Obama]… I think there are different people that could have been hired.
Perhaps her pet issue is money in politics, which she sees as the biggest roadblock to positive reforms.

Susan, baby, you screwed up. You were supposed to be faithful to the party. Shame on you.
edited to add this list of liberal spokeswomen for L'Oreal:
Julianne Moore, liberal who backs Obama and gun control
Kirsten Dunst liberal, supports Obama, pro-life (oh oh...the pro-life means she's for Hillary)
Wendy Williams, liberal, huge supporter of the gay community and same-sex marriage, women, gun control
Michelle Pfeiffer, liberal, money out of politics, gay marriage
Jane Fonda, of course liberal, anti war, (ooops...just had disqualify her.
)Well four out of five ain't bad...and there are a lot more...I can't list them all. Are you going to throw all these women under the bus for being L'Oreal spokeswomen?
Seriously? I didn't think so. Desperation is an ugly emotion.
