Anti-semitism, the 800lb gorilla in the room that nobody seems to want to talk about

273. No, we disagree.

I think she tweeted something and then a bunch of people took off in different directions. Best I can tell, there's some partial truth in what she said and some partial truth in what some of the other observers there said. The Washington Post article (I think it's cited upthread, otherwise I'm sure you can find it) I think describes pretty well what happened. I mean, I wasn't there but it seemed like a pretty objective summary taking into account various people who were there. All this crap of 'Liar!' is in my opinion bullshit. People have their own impressions of things and they can be formed by their age, by their experience and yes, by their own personal biases. That's not breaking news. The desire to throw gasoline on a mild flame is, I think, present on all sides in political primaries.

Regarding the video in the original post, yes I think Susan Sarandon is speaking to Dolores Huerta in an incredibly condescending tone, and I can understand why there would be negative blowback from that.

To answer your question at the end of your post, my personal feeling is that there hasn't been much anti-semitism against one of the most successful Jewish contenders for a major party presidential nomination, ever. If people want to discuss it they are free to discuss it.
