I can think of 100,000 reasons not to believe Dolores Huerta.

They can be found at the top of page 34 in the linked document. And that's just 2010.

1. I can think of reasons to believe her, or at least that was her honest reading of no, no, no.

With a moderator saying English only.

[amborin]

2. wow; good research; totally disgusting;

money corrupts

[CorporatistNation]

5. $100,000 DOLLARS For The Delores Huerta Foundation From The Clinton Foundation!

Clinton Incorporated $100k PAYOLA! WORSE THAN A QUID PRO QUO! Spread this one around!

[Hoyt]

6. You'd think Sanders supporters would be glad for a true labor leader to get some financial help.

Another icon thrown under the bus by bitter Sanders supporters.

[artislife]

8. I am making sure the bus is there for her.

Bought and paid for.


It would have been cool if the foundation did things without running a politician but it reminds me of the money laundering schemes of the mob.

[geek tragedy]

31. What a foul and deranged post. Comparing Dolores Huerta to the mafia is not something

sane progressives do.

[artislife]

53. I was saying the Clinton Foundation. nt

[bigtree]

15. what they'd prefer, I guess is that she has no support at all

...not even when she says she was mistreated.

It's a sad thing to see the behavior of the Sanders people at that caucus dismissed with this ignorant smear, but it's a pattern here with the Sanders defenders.

[Half-Century Man]

16. There is a difference between being thrown and sliding home

Under whatever metaphysical bus.

[Enthusiast]

19. Nice

[840high]

23. ..+1

[lapfog_1]

32. I don't care about the money

or her motives...

But tweeting that Sanders supporters shouted her down with "English Only" was not only a lie, but a pejorative lie (as witnessed in the Hillary group when this was first reported with comparisons to Trump rallies).

If there wasn't clear video recordings of what actually happened, this might carry (and could still carry since the MSM is NOT reporting the retraction) a lot of weight in the Hispanic community.

"honest reading"... nope.

[Hoyt]

34. What's the difference between "No, English," and rabid white people yelling "No, No, No" when she

walked up to help? I just don't see much difference, it's still ugly and I understand how she felt.

[lapfog_1]

39. "No no no" was an objection to having a Hillary supporter do the translation

not to having the translation at all. "English Only" would be an objection to any translation.

If the party had hired a translator (viewed by both sides as neutral) I doubt that there would have been anyone objecting.

The "English Only" is just the sort of thing one would expect at a Trump rally... and that's the reason she tweeted that.

[bettyellen]

41. those people cheered when he said "english only" - so their intent was clear.

As well their motivation- a two to one loss to Clinton. Sour grapes.

[lapfog_1]

42. They didn't shout "English Only" (which is what was tweeted), the caucus moderator said that

they may have cheered the decision to not allow a Hillary supporter do the translation.

The insinuation that Bernie supporters are equivalent to Trump rally attendees is very ugly and has nothing to do with whether or not Hillary won the Nevada caucus.

[bettyellen]

43. they certainly did cheer the "english only" and jeered Huerta to "get off the stage"

not up there with Trump, but also pretty embarrassing behavior.

[lapfog_1]

44. as a Hillary supporter she should NOT have anything to do with running the caucus

so she should have never approached the stage.

Or would you have minded a Bernie operative and supporter running the caucus?

[bettyellen]

46. volunteers for both sides work together all the fucking time. only newbies have this idea that every

thing is some kind of plot. it is the nature of the beast- people who care enough to show up usually do support a candidate already. volunteers from both sides keep each other in check.
people are making up rules and freaking out that it doesn't go how they imagined it instead of training. not enough volunteers are showing up to do the work.

the fact that he has too many "observers" getting in the way and causing arguments instead of enough volunteers to help register the new voters says it all. everyone seems to want to make a gotcha video instead of staffing the polling places. it's a paranoid mess. he needs more staff to put down their phones and register people.

[lapfog_1]

50. Which has nothing to do with the incendiary tweet accusing Bernie supporters

of overt racism by shouting "English Only" and drowning out her translation.

Volunteers help out all the time. Fine. But instead of inviting a neutral party or someone from both sides to provide translation, Ms. Huerta gets up on stage to provide the translation herself. If I was there I would have objected too. That doesn't make me a racist nor should it be tweeted that my objection is the same as if I had shouted "English Only" at a Hispanic Icon of the civil rights movement.

[bettyellen]

52. the behavior there was ugly enough but no accusation of overt racism was made that I saw

pointing out that people were thrilled no translation was provided is wrong? they were thrilled. that is ugly.
those people should be ashamed for bum rushing a volunteer off the stage.

maybe if one person could point to this state "rule" it would make sense. does it exist- have you seen it?

[pacalo]

3. I suspected as much.

[Joe the Revelator]

4. Wow. Good work.

[snagglepuss]

7. Good work. And this is the reason Billary's Foundation is so sleezy, clearly

one of Huetra's roles is Clinton operative.

[restorefreedom]

9. sadly, no surprise here. nt

[boomer55]

10. 100,000 dollars from Clinton to Dolores? whats the big deal? ;)

[840high]

11. Bought and paid for.

[HooptieWagon]

12. Good catch. Yep, she lied for $100,000.

Just goes to show how deeply the cancer has grown in the party establishment.

[m-lekktor]

13. and there you have it! KnR nt

[msongs]

14. gee all you guys with this knowledge should report this criminal act to the FBI asap nt

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. In neutrality, I don't see anyone claiming it's a crime. I see them claiming it's a reason

people would not want her translating and would shout for someone neutral. We really have to try not to twist the message, no matter what side we are on.

[treestar]

37. I can't get over the concept

that she would actually change the translation! Other people would be there. It wasn't planned. The idea people have that no one is genuine and it's totally about money is over the top at this point. And this was from foundation to foundation. They are two people with similar views who support each other's foundation work. Trying to make this into some type of corruption is ridiculous. And thinking Dolores would change a translation right on the spot like that because of this old contribution! Probably both of the have forgotten all about it by now! They are both people who've done good in the world! This is not helping Bernie at all!

[geek tragedy]

17. This is sewer-level crap. Shame on the OP and all the haters

recommending it.

Shameful and vile.

[JimDandy]

22. This goes to the issue of neutrality. Clearly people who live in her own precinct

and are familiar with her had concerns about that. Pfft on the bribe talk, though. This is troublesome but not evidence of a bribe.

[treestar]

28. It's from foundation to foundation

they are deliberately misrepresenting!

[Milliesmom]

20. Send that to Susan Sarandon

[snort]

21. DING DING DING DING DING!

[nolabels]

51. ^^^^^^^^^^^^ What snort said ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I had to do a double take, but then

[amborin]

24. can we say this, based on the overwhelming evidence:

everyone who comes into clinton's orbit either is, or becomes, tainted

[cherokeeprogressive]

25. It seems "tainted" is a requisite for entering into the orbit in the first place.

But in answer to your question; an unqualified YES.

[Peregrine Took]

26. I feel sorry for these giants of iconography. They need to move over

and let some fresh faces into the limelight.

[treestar]

27. It's a contribution to a foundation!

SMH. So you are going to assume it is direct payment for support politically. Figures.

This is going way out of the realm of realistic. And it does not help Bernie.

[geek tragedy]

35. not only that, it was in 2010--2 years after Huerta placed Clinton's name into nomination in 2008

at the DNC.

[sufrommich]

29. What a sickening accusation.

[geek tragedy]

36. there are days when it's really hard to support Bernie knowing this crowd

has the same goal

I sure as shit wouldn't want the Huerta Hating lynch mob getting into power.

[bettyellen]

49. Some here would "bern down" planned parenthood, the Huerta foundation.... anyone who does

not champion Bernie. They are useful idiots, but not for Bernie.

[tularetom]

30. In her defense, its a lot more than 30 pieces of silver

Hope she can sleep well now that everybody knows she got the Clinton stink all over her.

[geek tragedy]

33. unbelievable. the Huerta Haters are beyond parody at this point. nt

[bettyellen]

54. I am so sorry Geek. I was going to do some phone banking for Bernie but I just cannot.

Too many RW operatives "helping" and too much hatred all around. I think that is suppressing the vote and leading to voter apathy. Rove couldn't be pulling their strings any harder.

[zappaman]

38. Lol!

[PonyUp]

40. Are they even now?

Once you get involved with "The Foundation" you probably are never even and can be called out to perform at any time.

[zappaman]

45. Of course you can...

[UglyGreed]

47. 100,000 here 100,000

there what is the big deal????

[matt819]

48. For $100,000

I'll be your new best friend.

It would be Interesting to dig deeper into the $100,000 disbursements. Not only details on the organizations getting the money but how those contributions were further used by the recipients.

Interesting, too, is that the clintons only contributed $1 million. Also, while the book value of the foundations funds is shocked nelly minuscule, it is held by JP Morgan. Sure is a lot of backscratching going on.

God forbid that journalists investigate further on this and Trumps so called foundation.

We are so fucked it is breathtaking.
