Poor little rosario.. she's such a victim.. with all the buzz words down to a science...
Rosario Dawson, how dare you lecture Dolores Huerta?When legendary farm labor, feminist, and voting rights activist Dolores Huerta published an op-ed saying she didnt know enough about Sanders to vote for him, citing his inconsistent record on immigration and his lack of presence in the United Farm Workers struggle (thats the labor union she co-founded with the late Cesar Chavez), the person who spoke up on Sanders behalf was an actress who once played Huerta in a poorly received biopic of Chavez. Rosario Dawson, a 36-year-old from New York City whose Latino ancestors hail from Puerto Rico, a US territory, and Cuba, the beneficiary of an open-door US immigration policy these last 57 years, wrote an op-ed in the Huffington Post lecturing Huerta.
I am surprised, dismayed, and concerned that you would do your legacy such a disservice by becoming an instrument of the establishment, rather than joining this movement to create a better America like you once inspired us to do, Dawson said.

Forget that Huerta not only cofounded the UFW but has dedicated six decades to fighting on the front lines of the workers rights movement. Shes been arrested 22 times while demonstrating for the cause and was even hospitalized in 1988 as a grandmother with two broken ribs and a ruptured spleen while protesting President George HW Bushs opposition to the UFW grape boycott. Forget all of it. Dawson has declared Huertas legacy destroyed on Bernies behalf.
In case there was any doubt as to whether Sanders approved of her message, Dawson was subsequently picked to introduce him at speaking events in San Diego and Los Angeles, where she told crowds to be wary of the media. She spoke of how she been registering Latino voters for 11 years through Voto Latino. Good for her. Dolores Huerta has been doing it for 56, since back when that kind of thing could get you lynched.

Thank you, Iaaa~
“Go get me a bill passed like that, and I’ll sign it.”
Despite having spent decades in Congress, Bernie doesnt appear to know that this is how things work. He thinks he can go back to the Senate and get $15 simply by demanding it. Hillary seems content in allowing him to hang onto that fantasy: Go get me a bill passed like that, and Ill sign it. So shes handing him what he views as a victory right now on the issue, by giving him a pathway to go chase after $15, even though she knows it wont end up being nearly that high when it eventually lands on her desk.
Thank you, Iaaa~

Senator Merkley~G'night, flea~
lol~ Sen Merkely is BS' translator..
Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon, the first and only member of the Senate to endorse Bernie Sanders when he got behind him two weeks ago, may already be regretting the move. When he was asked about the Rosario Dawson incident, he shut it down decisively, referring to it as not helpful to the campaign, and its certainly not in keeping with what Bernie wants to see.
Strangely, Bernie himself has been unwilling or unable to put those same words into his own mouth. This comes on the heels of other Sanders surrogates going off the rails. Susan Sarandon suggested shed rather see Donald Trump win than Hillary Clinton, while Tim Robbins compared South Carolina to Guam. Its become nearly impossible to find a remaining Sanders surrogate who isnt saying offensive and divisive things. Perhaps thats why Merkley, who has to get reelected in four years, wants no part of the vitriol

That part, though, that is excerpted.. Can you imagine Hillary having said that in 2008.. she would only support Sen Obama "If her conditions are met.."?! Especially when they're very similar like Hillary's was to Obama's and are to BS' positions now?
I think this is sanders on his endless power trippin'.. to keep those $$$$$$ coming in when he goes back to the Senate. He needs to stay relevant even though we can very well carry on without his denigrating the Democratic Party.
Wow, that was brilliant, Walk away.. Mahalo! So amazingly researched!
Do What You Want: An Open Letter to the Bernie or Bust Movement on Behalf of the Democratic PartyTrevor LaFauci | April 25, 2016
Despite Bernie Sanders' recent willingness to support Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee if certain conditions are met, a number of you have continued your stance to support Sanders and Sanders alone

Didn't know if you'd seen it.. thought it might be interesting to you.. it was to me.
OT, flea.. "Senator Jeff Merkley sounds like he already regrets having endorsed Bernie Sanders"
If it feels like the various surrogates officially representing Bernie Sanders have each begun using the final days of his losing campaign to each carry out their own angry personal agendas, even as Sanders himself seems unsure of where or even how to draw the line when it comes to the bitter vitriol being spewed on his behalf, youre not alone. One key endorser of Sanders is now criticizing another for what he views as behavior thats gone off track and is not helpful.
