(135,425 posts)You DO realize (cough) -- maybe you don't -- that she CO-SPONSORED that event? And that she wasn't there to hear "Greg Palast" (a white guy) because she had another engagement?
He certainly thinks he's special, that he could criticize his hostess--one of the people who crafted the event where he spoke--because she didn't sit quietly with hands folded listening to him instead of doing what she needed to do. SHE, as a co-sponsor, gave him that platform, both in the venue and on CSPAN.
This is just a huge Fail Of "LackaKnowledge" proportions. You should research before you post things that have demonstrative holes in them. This one's a beaut--and it's recycled, too.
Ya wanna know where HRC was while Palast was speaking (and being filmed in case anyone wanted to see him, courtesy of CSPAN)? She was addressing a BLACK LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE.

This is a low blow, and one that has blown through here before, been debunked, and sent on its way. Shame on you.
