Actress Rosario Dawson Should Apologize to Dolores Huerta This Cesar Chavez Day

[workinclasszero]

An apology by Dawson to Huerta would be a sign of respect and a signal towards healing if she does so.

Dawson could have picked up the phone to call Dolores Huerta regarding differences in political opinions, but instead she chose to be used as a tool for the Bernie Sanders campaign in writing an open scathing letter.

[upaloopa]

1. I heard about this yesterday. Dawson was insinuating that since millennials don't know who Huerta

is, that Huerta is no longer relevant.

[workinclasszero]

3. Its so sick of these surrogates

to insult civil rights icons!

What the hell is wrong with these ungrateful idiots?

[Kalidurga]

2. Do you have a link to Dolores Huerta apologizing for her misunderstanding?

[CorporatistNation]

76. Dolores Would Do Well To LISTEN To Rosario Dawson Who Makes Far More Sense Than Clyburn!

To "Shill" is no virtue!

[Kalidurga]

77. Thanks for the link

I guess the people wanting her to apologize have no link to Dolores apologizing for being misleading if not outright lying.

[LexVegas]

4. Huerta gets shit on in this very forum by Bernie supporters. nt

[workinclasszero]

8. Sad but true

And they did the same to John Lewis, repeatedly.

[LexVegas]

11. Yes. And James Clyburn. I notice a trend. nt

[workinclasszero]

15. Guess we shouldn't be surprised

that some of these same people actually praise Trump as a revolutionary figure!

[2banon]

32. Link please?

You said:

Link please.

[artislife]

38. It is a trend...it is called lying. nt

[wendylaroux]

55. another sellout,disappointing nt.

[geek tragedy]

87. John Lewis a sellout? Shocking how ignorant some people are. nt

[wendylaroux]

97. anyone backing a candidate who is NOT for the working class/poor

is a sellout.

[geek tragedy]

98. True believers cannot be reasoned with. nt

[wendylaroux]

99. I agree with that.

[geek tragedy]

21. the complete and utter trashing of Dolores Huerta and the complete and total

lack of respect shown to her--by Sanders supporters not only here but everywhere that was visible--was what convinced me I wanted no part of that movement, that it was more of a social signaling opportunity for the sanctimonious rather than a genuine revoution or movement for social change.

67. How will we ever go on without his support?

And by support I mean constant vilification of Bernie, his supporters and everything he stands for.

Woe is us.

71. That's it, his campaign is over.

[Autumn]

73. Bernie can't lose what he never had.

[Capt. Obvious]

86. You should have picked

a cover story that was earlier in the calendar.

[joshcryer]

101. The reaction to Huerta convinced me we were fucked.

And the resulting loss in Nevada confirmed that. Sanders supporters immediately pivoting to Trump told the true story there. I knew Weaver had written off SC and was OK with that strategy, but from NV forward the efforts to have a broad based appeal diminished significantly.

This is not Sanders doing though.

[geek tragedy]

104. I don't think he gets off the hook here.

He hired these guys, and he's been a big proponent of the one-size fits all approach to arguing about social justice. Which works until it doesn't fit the bedrock of our base, people of color and women.

Angry populist campaigns come down to us vs them. Problem is that it becomes a vicious cycle when there are whole segments of the electorate about whom there was very little effort made to learn. Message falls flat, gets rejected, those not getting on board get deemed not us but them. So we get crap like low information voters, Confederacy, Stockholm Syndrome, we didn't try to win those states, no Internet, etc.

A lot of noise has been made about how it's a matter of people not getting to know the candidate. People know who the candidate is. The problem is that the candidate never bothered to get to know who the voters were.

Him trying to work the tables at a church in South Carolina instead of sitting down and engaging is really quite the microcosm of the campaign. Listening is one of the most underrated political skills.

[joshcryer]

106. He's obviously being coached to go this way.

I mean, you can see it in his eyes he doesn't believe it half the time. Whenever he throws out a smear he often stumbles. The "damn emails" Sanders is the real one. Once this is over watch for a significant pivot in arguing style. It's going to piss off a shitload of Sanders "supporters" because they have been fed this utter stream of vile hatred from Weaver and Devine.

I remember the debates after the hack and predicted Sanders would apologize, and sooooo many people were just astonished.

[geek tragedy]

107. campaign operatives chase votes and money, it's what they do.

If he's this easily lead astray but lesser lights like Weaver and Devine, no way in hell is he fit to run the executive branch.

Am I wrong to think he really doesn't want to be President, but is now running on competitive juices?

It will be a tougher pivot than Clinton had to do when endorsing Obama. Her critique on him was that he was too soft, not tough enough, not ready for the fight. Well, he took every punch from her and won, so she could say to her supporters, tough fight but really this guy does have what it takes.

What's he going to say around June 10, sorry the dream is dead learn to love the corrupt system?

[joshcryer]

108. "I said what I had to say."

"Embellished half truths to appeal to my base, Clinton will make a fine president."

Of course, Clinton is one to reach out, so they'll likely sit down and discuss what he wants in the platform, so he will march in there and act like he got all these fantastic reforms in the platform. Clinton would probably give him credit.

Obviously though he can't be gracious in defeat like Clinton though, not at this point, there will have to be a show.

[geek tragedy]

109. my bet would be "please vote for her, get her into office, then hold her accountable"

I imagine it would be wrapped up fairly quickly, she wants to get it behind her and he'd be in for some pretty brutal media coverage if he dithered.

[beam me up scottie]

5. Another smear and another witch hunt for a woman who supports Bernie.

I'm noticing a disturbing trend and it's ugly.

[NWCorona]

7. Me too!

[beam me up scottie]

14. Women who don't support Hillary are being targeted and bullied, it's despicable.

Susan was slut shamed, accused of "latching" onto younger men and called vile names by so-called liberals.

I'm sure they're just getting started on Rosario.

[NWCorona]

16. Yup!

I'm proud of both Susan and Rosario!

6. What a Hideous Blog Post

Clinton campaign supporters - Stop trying to divide people to garner votes for Sec. Clinton. Shame on you!

Though Mexican Americans represent the lion share of the entire Hispanic population pie, we continue to fight for legal immigration reform for all ethnic groups and backgrounds who do not receive automatic citizenship or privileged amnesty the Puerto Ricans and Cubans currently receive.

[NWCorona]

9. I caught that as well

[noretreatnosurrender]

13. It's Disgraceful

They should lose for this alone. They've tried to divide women, AA and now the Hispanic community merely to get votes. They don't care what happens to the people they are dividing. All they care about is how they can use them. It turns my stomach. I've campaigned for plenty of Democrats in my life (I'm 59) but I've never seen a campaign so carelessly destructive as the Hillary campaign. I am totally turned off to her campaign by this divisive style of campaigning. Let's hope that some honest Hillary supporters speak out about this and shut it down.

[NWCorona]

17. Scorched earth tactics

[noretreatnosurrender]

19. Carpet Bombing

Clinton campaign's version of carpet bombing. They don't care that innocent people get hurt as long as they get what they want.

[NWCorona]

23. Didn't she supply cluster bombs while at the State Department

Your analogy is more fitting on second thought

[noretreatnosurrender]

28. Hillary Fan of Cluster Bombs

On September 6, 2006, a Senate bill--a simple amendment to ban the use of cluster bombs in civilian areas--presented Senator Clinton with a timely opportunity to protect the lives of children throughout the world.

The cluster bomb is one of the most hated and heinous weapons in modern war, and its primary victims are children.

Senator Obama voted for the amendment to ban cluster bombs. Senator Clinton, however, voted with the Republicans to kill the humanitarian bill, an amendment in accord with the Geneva Conventions, which already prohibit the use of indiscriminate weapons in populated areas

http://www.commondreams.org/views/2008/03/13/cluster-bombs-are-not-good-children-hillary.

BTW, Senator Sanders was an original sponsor of this bill. He Voted for the amendment to ban cluster bombs.

31. Very good digging!

People have no idea how deadly these things are or their fail rate. Only to go off when picked up by a kid. Very hard to disarm as well. Trust me

47. As someone who married ...

[joeybee12]

58. Allergic to facts..pathetic...

Do you Bernie supporters ever take responsibility for anything?

[Jarqui]

10. Without going through every point,

I think Dawson is generally right and if anyone should be apologizing, to me, it should be Huerta apologizing to Bernie Sanders for her dishonest criticism of Sanders position on immigration (I'm going back to her remarks in Nevada).

I do not care what Huerta has done in the past with respect to this issue. Obviously, she did some great things but that doesn't give her license to deceive people about Sanders record.

Good for Rosario Dawson for calling out Huerta on this.

When John Lewis got out of line and was wrong, he was big enough to apologize or correct the record.

Evidently, Huerta isn't.

[Bluenorthwest]

20. Huerta mercilessly attacked Obama in 08 using many of the exact same smears she used about

Bernie recently. Same characterizations of the supporters of Barack and of Bernie. Same exact material. Obama was on the take to dump nuclear waste on poor people, he refused to meet with Latinos, it was endless, lacks judgement, has not wisdom.....

This interview with her from 2008 demonstrates how correct Dawson was.....

http://www.democracynow.org/2008/2/1/democratic_presidential_nomination_could_hinge_on

[geek tragedy]

24. and yet we Obama supporters didn't freak out and call her a corrupt liar

and shout her down in public.

We didn't have limousine liberal folks like Susan Sarandon richsplaining agricultural issues to her.

That's why Obama's campaign succeeded, and why his coalition is the foundation of the modern Democratic party.

For Sanders supporters, Rosario Dawson is courageous hero and Dolores Huerta is a corrupt liar whose allegiance was purchased by bribes from the Clintons.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

44. Sanders supporters tend to stick up for him when a liar lies about him.

And a liar is a liar. If someone wants to be known for their civil rights record, they probably shouldn't eclipse that record by lying in an attempt to deceive people about Sanders.

[geek tragedy]

51. She's not a liar just because her perception differs from that found

inside the Bernie Bubble.

You all go on hating someone whose achievements and dedication and courage you have no hope of ever matching.

[frylock]

53. She's a liar because she lied.

The tweet about Bernie bros chanting "ENGLISH ONLY" has still not been corrected. That never happened, regardless of perceptions that differ inside the Bernie bubble.

[Jarqui]

85. It's not a matter of perception. Her BS contradicts his speeches on the

immigration vote for example, documented word for word in congress and posted on this site underneath her BS.

Past Walmart board of director Hillary was willing to do as Walmart wished and vote for a bill that would provide Walmart with labor much cheaper than the US minimum wage. Sanders wouldn't support that and said so and why in Congress. But that's not what Huerta spun.She lied or misrepresented what Sanders did that day and why he stated he did it - which was very consistent with his position on that his entire life.

She also stated falsely that Sanders voting record/support for Latinos was terrible as did Luis Gutierrez. But Sanders life time record on immigration issues rates as well or better than Luis Gutierrez with the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda. That isn't possible if Huerta was speaking the truth.

I could go on and on.

It's beyond different perception. It's flat out lying.

And again, I do not care if she thinks she's the second coming of Christ. A lie is still a lie.

[Bluenorthwest]

59. Obama was strongly defended againt Hureta's attacks, make no mistake. And she uses the same

material and the same coy stances. She's a political operative playing hardball style and she is not above criticism. This is not a religion, we do not have saints. No has the right to play by rules they don't expect to apply to themselves.
According to Dolores, as an Obama supporter you were a hooligan and sort of dangerous and probably bigoted against Latinos. She's say 'I never met him, so I don't know....I don't know....they try to suppress the Latino workers, his supporters, so...I don't know.....'
That's YOU and me, Obama supporters she's talking about. If it was not all true then about Barack and about his supporters that means she is dishonest, and that means she gets called on it when she tries to say the same things about the next candidate. She's not honest. So....I don't know...I don't know.....

[geek tragedy]

61. did Obama supporters swarm the Facebook page of her charity?

Did we see threads like this:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511293322

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511292568

Did we see people repeatedly calling her a liar?

Her fucking charity had to put up a post on Facebook saying they weren't being bribed due to the swarm of Bernie trolls.

https://www.facebook.com/doloreshuertafoundation/posts/10154660262894768

As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization the Dolores Huerta Foundation is absolutely forbidden from directly or indirectly participating in any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. The federal tax law is very strict on the issue of political campaigning.

Dolores is the President of our board and volunteers her time for the DHF. She is an individual and entitled to her own political views and actions. These views and actions do not represent the Dolores Huerta Foundation. If you leave comments relating to any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office, your comments will be deleted and you will be banned from posting on the Dolores Huerta Foundation Facebook Page.

[Lucky Luciano]

102. Facebook in 2008 vs Facebook in 2016 is not the same - FB founded in Feb 2004 - open to the "public"

...for only a couple years at that point, so apples and oranges.

[geek tragedy]

105. no the difference was Obama supporters understood that there was nothing to be gained

from trying to destroy and assail someone like Dolores Huerta.

Obama himself constantly pushed the themes of respect and unity. Sanders pushes angry us vs themism. So, when his supporters here how there's a corrupt system, and that Hillary Clinton is a major problematic part of that corrupt system, then his supporters pick up the message that people who support Clinton support corruption and must be corrupt.

There was a determination to respect others regardless of whether they agreed with him on Obama's part, that Sanders completely lacks.

[wendylaroux]

62. limosine liberals would be hilly's star supporters

41. Caesar's spirit is shivering

[geek tragedy]

26. Oh dear lord.

When John Lewis got out of line and was wrong, he was big enough to apologize or correct the record.

Evidently, Huerta isn't.

http://www.salon.com/2016/02/22/dolores_huerta_takes_on_bernies_base_nevada_caucus_flap_speaks_volumes_about_the_frustrations_of_sanders_supporters/

So it’s easy to see why Sanders supporters want to yell at Huerta. She’s an easy punching bag for those frustrated with voters they believe should vote for Sanders but stubbornly refuse to do what Sanders supporters want them to do. (It’s similar to way that older female Clinton supporters have gotten bossy with younger women who vote Sanders.) Painting Huerta as delusional, corrupt or a liar makes the loss of these voting blocs easier to swallow, because the alternative possibility, that Clinton voters know what they are doing, is too painful to contemplate.

The problem is that dog-piling Huerta is exactly the wrong way to go about appealing to women, people of color, or labor organizers. The accusations of lying are a stark reminder of how women or people of color have long been treated as more mendacious than white men, and the lack of respect for an iconic labor organizer calls into question if these self-proclaimed socialists have even a basic understanding of what socialism is, or the centrality of labor concerns to the very concept of socialism. (This isn’t helped by the fact that the Sanders campaign is far more focused on middle-class benefits and Wall Street corruption than traditional socialist concerns like labor organizing or welfare for the poor.)

The attacks on Huerta also reinforce the very image that the Sanders campaign needs to get away from, which is that it’s about a bunch of well-off white men who are more interested in pushing people around than creating a progressive coalition. Of course, the odds of Sanders actually winning now are incredibly low. The coalition didn’t form and Clinton is on the path to the nomination. That we’re seeing a shift away from trying to play nice to lashing out isn’t too surprising, under the circumstances. But it’s still disappointing to see would-be socialists attacking a scion of the labor movement in this way.

Wannabe keyboard revolutionaries arrogating to themselves the moral authority to literally talk about how small Dolores Huerta is?

[Jarqui]

74. This is pure nonsense:

"The problem is that dog-piling Huerta is exactly the wrong way to go about appealing to women, people of color, or labor organizers"

You do not kiss the ass of someone who is spreading false information about someone else. Huerta did that with Sanders record and I do not care whether she is a man or woman, pink, yellow, red, black or whatever pigmentation you want to conjure up or whether she organizes labor, cleans toilets or runs a Wall Street firm.

It's got absolutely nothing to do with any of that crap.

Huerta made bogus claims about Sanders record. She either knew or should have known. That makes her a spreader of false information - regardless of her sex, color or job.

If she lies or misinforms in front of me, it is my democratic right and duty to call her out and say "You know what folks, as much as they lady might have done some good in her life, that does not give her the privilege to misinform Americans without being call on it." That's all Rosario Dawson really did.

I don't care if it's Dolores Huerta, Barack Obama or God himself. Misinforming people is misinforming people. There is zero doubt in my mind Huerta is guilty of misinforming people and she's perpetuating that in her article - long after she heard the uproar in Nevada.

Good for Ms Dawson for calling her out! Sorry for the jerk at Salon who conjured up the pathetic, ignorant nonsense and spewed it into an article. Nobody has to kiss the arse of citizens who misinform - regardless of their past.

No quarter for those hiding behind their skirt, their complexion or their job. If we're all truly equal, none of that stuff matters. It's got absolutely nothing to do with it. NOBODY is above criticism when they are spreading false stuff about another person. That is democracy and where I come from, that's non-negotiable.

[geek tragedy]

88. You said Dolores Huerta was a small person.

Because her version of reality differed from that shared by the communal Sanders supporter consciousness.


I find that funny, coming from people who lap up everything HA Goodman and Seth Abramson dish out.

Sanders supporters know everything and possess supreme moral authority, as anyone on Twittet or Facebook knows, including the people who run the Facebook page for the Dolores Huerta Foundation and its Facebook page.

[Jarqui]

89. "You said Dolores Huerta was a small person."

I did not say that. That's a strawman. Kinda like something Dolores would say lately - it's BS.

"I find that funny, coming from people who lap up everything HA Goodman and Seth Abramson dish out."

I find it funny coming from someone in tiny talent fantasy land who makes smears up like Dolores to try to make a fictitious point. It's a blatantly ignorant comment. My record on Goodman is crystal clear- he's an idiot.

My record on "Seth Abramson" is very brief. I've only seen one article:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511489559#post6
where I likened him to HA Goodman

Grow up and get acquainted with the facts before spewing wrong things about people like Dolores.

[geek tragedy]

90. Are you on a first name basis with Dolores Huerta?

I'm guessing no. So kind of odd to refer to her as "Dolores"

When John Lewis got out of line and was wrong, he was big enough to apologize or correct the record.

Apparently Huerta isn't.

I like how you posed that as Lewis being "out of line." Kind of goes with the attitude taken towards Huertaz

[Jarqui]

91. I had not referred to her as Dolores before that post

I only did so in response to a poster who referred to her as Dolores.

1. Strange or biased that you wouldn't call them out for it.
2. Whether I called her Dolores or Huerta or "Huertaz" as you did doesn't really matter. She stated false things about Sanders repeatedly and she's being called on it regardless of what name we type to identify her.

This is just more smoke like the article trying to hide behind her skirt or her race.

Lewis was out of line with some of the things he said and he admitted it. Huerta was out of line with things she said but won't admit it - she just carries on with her smears. I guess she falls closer to Hillary's dishonest ways like Huerta did in 2008 against Obama.

I didn't know as much about Dolores Huerta as I did John Lewis. But one thing is for sure: for all of the good some claim she has done, I know her as a dishonest person because after the facts got pointed out to her, unlike John Lewis, she kept up repeating the dishonest facts.

John Lewis proved the kind of man he's always been. He was at least man enough to admit some of his error. Dolores Huerta is no John Lewis and after this, in my eyes, never will be. Like the candidate she supports, she's not an honest person.

[geek tragedy]

92. "For all the good some claim she has done"

Pathetic. As in I feel sorry for anyone who is so ignorant of the history of the struggle for civil and labor rights that they would openly disclaim having any knowledge of Dolores Huerta's role in that history.

Astonishing ignorance.


Sad.

[Jarqui]

95. If I'd claimed that, you might have a point. Unfortunately for you, I didn't.

You're just doing what Dolores Huerta and Hillary do - standing on your soap box stating things that are not true or accurate.

I said:

"I didn't know as much about Dolores Huerta as I did John Lewis"

I got to know a fair amount about John Lewis because I supported MLK when he was alive. Not knowing Huerta as well does not equate to your claim of "openly disclaim having any knowledge of Dolores Huerta's role in that history."

I'm well aware of her civil rights efforts. But when she cannot be honest, those efforts are tainted by the stain of dishonesty and become a more distant thing of the past. One cannot rest on their laurels forever and have repeated dishonest acts excused by things they did years before.

Unfortunately, all your false claim proves is this is beyond your ability to read and comprehend what people are saying and as result, all you are able to contribute are strawman arguments.

[brush]

80. Dawson also repeated the falsehood that Obama had a two year supermajority in the senate.

That gets repeated over and over and over again, even here on DU, as a not-so-subtle way to bash Obama.

The facts are that because of the long delay in the Al Franken confirmation because of that recount with Coleman Franken wasn't confirmed until July of 2009. And that still didn't give the president the super majority of 60 votes needed to overcome repug filibusters (an unprecedented 400 of them). Then there was the Senate summer recess, the holiday recess, Teddy Kennedy died, and other things. There were only 5 months of an on-paper 60 votes in the Senate and they weren't contiguous. I say "on-paper" and not really usable because of events that happened. Here's the real rundown:


There actually wasn’t a two year supermajority.

This timeline shows the facts.

President Obama was sworn in on January 20, 2009 with just 58 Senators to support his agenda.

He should have had 59, but Republicans contested Al Franken’s election in Minnesota and he didn’t get seated for seven months (July of '09).

The President’s cause was helped in April when Pennsylvania’s Republican Senator Arlen Specter switched parties.

That gave the President 59 votes — still a vote shy of the super majority.

But one month later, Democratic Senator Byrd of West Virginia was hospitalized and was basically out of commission.

So while the President’s number on paper was 59 Senators — he was really working with just 58 Senators.

Then in July, Minnesota Senator Al Franken was finally sworn in, giving President Obama the magic 60 — but only in theory, because Senator Byrd was still out.

In August, Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts died and the number went back down to 59 again until Paul Kirk temporarily filled Kennedy’s seat in September.

Any pretense of a supermajority ended on February 4, 2010 when Republican Scott Brown was sworn into the seat Senator Kennedy once held. Do you see a two-year supermajority?"

So let's stop perpetuating, maybe unknowingly, what is really a repug talking point. There was no two year super majority that Obama squandered.

And maybe pull the coat of uninformed surrogates and others who repeat that crap.

30. Texas wasn't enough of a lesson for you guys?

http://www.cbsnews.com/elections/2016/primaries/democrat/texas/exit/

Just because her perception of reality differed from that inside the Bernie Bubble does not make her an evil liar.

Please, go ahead. It was fun watching this blow up in your face the first time.

[Kall]

35. So, that's a no.

Her "perception of reality differed." Kind of like the Bosnian Sniper Fire incident, I guess.

One would hope that since actual reality was captured on video and contradicted her perception of it, she would clarify that her perception wasn't what happened.

[geek tragedy]

36. she was shouted down by a bunch of Bernie people when she offered to translate at the caucus.

That in fact did happen.

Was she going to jump through hoops to satisfy the Millennials on Twitter calling her a corrupt liar?



Go ahead and keep on assuring yourselves of your moral superiority to actual revolutionaries and activists. Because, between satisfying one's self of righteousness and conducting effective outreach, we all know what is more important to y'all.

[Kall]

43. They did not shout "English Only",

they called for an unaffiliated translator, as video of the incident demonstrated.

Clarifying that what happened is not what she said happened is not "jumping through hoops", it's the least that people have a right to expect.

I'm not about to argue about whether sticking with versions of events which never happened to paint people as racists in the name of electoral victory is okay. You go right ahead. Apparently the Bush crew weren't the only ones who felt they could create their own reality.

[Chasstev365]

33. As soon as:

1. John Lewis apologizes to Bernie for saying he was not part of the Civil Rights Movement 2. DWS apologizes to Bernie for rigging the game for Hillary. 3. The person who made sure Bernie was left off the ballot in DC apologizes to him. 4. Hillary apologizes to the woman she yelled at yesterday.

Can anyone add on??????

56. Well when Huerta heard that Rosario Dawson was playing her in the movie Cesar Chavez

she was surprised because they didn't look very much alike but she considered Dawson an outstanding actress and was very pleased.

I figure those two people can work out their own differences. Dawson's letter to Huerta was very respectful but honest about her feelings. How Huerta responded I have no idea. But they are grown ups and can work it out amongst themselves I would think. I don't think blogs and postings on DU mean much to either of them.
