That is true, but that is even more reason not to give them ammunition. Really, it is common sense still_one Dec 2015 #3

IF we can assume that it's part of the campaign, then it's opportunism. Buzz Clik Dec 2015 #14

That is a good point, and most likely it is a one-day thing timed with her speech at the event still_one Dec 2015 #20

Very good point, BC! I never saw that. BlueCaliDem Dec 2015 #33

Yup... yallerdawg Dec 2015 #18

That's what I saw. In the front seat moving forward is how I read that logo. BlueCaliDem Dec 2015 #29

Yes, that was my first impression of the logo, too. MineralMan Dec 2015 #35

How do you feel about the poster of MLK Jr, FDR, and Sanders (with Sanders' website at the bottom)? George II Dec 2015 #70

Because the logo is just an "H" with an arrow. MineralMan Dec 2015 #36

Bingo! BlueCaliDem Dec 2015 #43

It's nothing, which is why you created a new thread instead of replying to the other one. jeff47 Dec 2015 #44

As a DUer, it is my privilege to post a new thread if I choose to. MineralMan Dec 2015 #46

I saw a photo of Hillary sitting in that bus, too. MineralMan Dec 2015 #49

If you like cars and history, it's the best museum ever ismnotwasm Dec 2015 #51

It's not an issue of where she sits, but rather usurping the legend of a civil rights icon ... Scuba Dec 2015 #52

On the 60th anniversary of the bus seat protest, MineralMan Dec 2015 #54

So if it is just honoring them, you would have no problem with Trump putting it in his logo? jtuck004 Dec 2015 #93

Frankly, I don't give a damn what Trump does. MineralMan Dec 2015 #99

Yeah, probably too busy inviting black ministers to breakfast and sending out press releases jtuck004 Dec 2015 #101

Except it's no honor to be including in Hillary's logo Cheese Sandwich Dec 2015 #57

Whether it is or not depends on where you're sitting, MineralMan Dec 2015 #60

Hillary is honoring Rosa Parks.. leave it to BS fans campaigning in his name to whine about that. Cha Dec 2015 #58

Today, you no longer think it's kinda sick to use a dead civil rights leader to promote a candidate. pa28 Dec 2015 #78

Honoring and comparing are two completely different actions. ismnotwasm Dec 2015 #79

A few days ago he thought using a dead civil rights leader was sick. pa28 Dec 2015 #94

Sanders supporters use MLK as a comparison not an honor ismnotwasm Dec 2015 #117
