Fuck Susan Sarandon: If she'd (Hillary) won, we'd be at war

121. I will apologize for going off about the being despised for being rich thing

And the shouting accusations. I was probably conflating others posts with yours. I wrongly assumed you were in agreement. What you do do though is imply she only cares about money and "protesting between movie roles".

And I said she is not perfect. No one is. Even Hillary:

L'Oreal's mica supplier in India is Merck.

Merck - ah Merck.

Merck pays the PODESTA GROUP to lobby for it in the US.

You may remember the Podesta Group as it's co-owned by Hillary's CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN.

The Podesta Group has also donated and bundled hundreds of grand for... you guessed it... Hillary Clinton.

Meaning that some of Hillary's campaign is paid for with profits from... Child slave labour...


In the Delores video she wasn't lecturing her about the intricacies of migrant labor history, she was pointing out how Hillary has not supported labor rights adequately in the past. Something she did know something about. And she is making sure to be heard. She was passionate about it and she persisted. If only more people, more celebrities, had that kind of passion for progressive politics.

My point was more about this silly attitude and cowardess in here to skirt around debating the social issues women like Sarandon bring up, instead of being caught up in character assassination in a desperate attempt to find blame. To see that even as Hillary, or Bernie, or Biden, or Obama etc.. is not all bad, nor all good, the same can be said of Sarandon. And IMO, she has done much more good than bad especially as an activist. She does not deserve such derision or disrespect IMO. This kind of piling on onto someone who has worked for the causes we all beleive in for decades, simply because she has a slightly more radical bent on the issues, is distasteful to me. That is all.
