Susan Sarandon Talks Bernie Sanders

[Bubzer]

[riversedge]

1. Susan S. demeans Hillary in that speech--while Barbara Streisand-a Hillary support does not

mention Sanders in her column. This shows the difference between the two camps. Susan S embarrassed herself last night.


..... Barbra also takes aim at Hillary's Republican rival Donald Trump, calling him the "joke that isn't funny".

She rages: "I notice the press doesn't even call him (Trump) out on his own lies or his refusal to answer questions. If you repeat a lie loudly and long enough, people may come to believe it is true... And what would the press say, for instance, if Hillary Clinton displayed anything like the crassness of Donald Trump in debates? Or his staggering lack of knowledge on foreign or domestic policy?"

She [Barbara Streisand] concludes her essay by urging Americans to "stop being afraid" of women", adding, "Hillary Clinton isn't afraid. It's about time that a woman with strength, experience and compassion leads our already great nation in this time of global insecurity."

9. She does no such thing...

Tell me where anything she said relevant to Hillary Clinton's support from those industries was incorrect. It was not.

Project much?

[greiner3]

10. I tried posting on shrooms also

My post was intelligible also

[AlbertCat]

11. She concludes her essay by urging Americans to "stop being afraid" of women",

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

That's hysterical. People might be afraid of Babs because she's a tyrant to work for, but "Americans"?...afraid of women? Maybe GOP men.... and judging from what they say about women, you have to wonder if they've ever met a woman. It's more like they just ignore them. I don't think a significant number a truly liberal people are "afraid of women".


Celeb endorsements. Whatever.

[Amimnoch]

12. I've got to say I didn't see it. I'll agree she has before with some of her comments.

I just watched the video actively looking for the part that was Demeaning to Hillary with the goal of backing you up with an example.. I just couldn't find it.

Some of her points were hyperbolic BS imo, and worthy of debate, but I didn't actually find anything demeaning. Probably the most civilized thing I've seen from her this campaign season.

[surrealAmerican]

22. You have the interviewer to thank for that.

He asked her about Hillary - she answered.

[lastone]

25. all you do is run around this board claiming things "vile" and "demeaning"

and then vanish off the thread as soon as your bullpucky is called out, why is that? can you now argue merits or are you a paid mud slinger or other such troll?

[riversedge]

38. I went away for a bit to get lunch for

my 90 yr old mom who is quite fragile


Now I am leaving to take her to a Dr. apt. Have a good day.

[lastone]

40. I appreciate you talking care of your elderly mother

and hope for nothing but the best for you and her.

upon your return please tell me what is demeaning about the post you've commented on.

[riversedge]

48. I was trying to constrast

a Hillary supporter vs a Sanders supporter (both well know film starts). Susan talked some of BS agenda--but then she started in on a well-rehearsed vile name-caller 'liar, not to be trusted, not authentic"---the 3 biggies I hear from the RW and the many of the Sanders supporters here and elsewhere. They can't just stick with being critical of her agenda items--they have to toss in the vile name-calling.

Meanwhile Barbara S focuses in on some of Hillary's agenda and accomplishments (disses the media also)--she accomplishes her goal without mentioning or hitting on Sanders.

PS--my mom is a challenge- stubborn as an old goat--but I am glad I have this opportunity to help her at this time of her life. Thank you for your nice comments.

[lastone]

49. respectfully

I just re-watched the clip and nowhere does she say what you've outlined, never even said the word "liar" as far as I heard...

personally I was lucky enough to be back home when my dad passed, it was such a gift I really don't have words... then only yesterday one of my good friends was back at his parents house, both of them are not doing well and after a long into the night talk with his father they went to bed and his father passed. another blessing in disguise. life is short, tell the people you love that you love them. I wish you the best.

[riversedge]

50. that term is included--I heard it last night. But as

for the rest of the post---seems like the father of your friend passed on a good note. Thank you and yes--let those you love know that you do. Best.

[revbones]

29. So your definition of "demeaning" is the same as telling the truth? Weird. nt

[valerief]

2. That was great! Thanks. nt

[onehandle]

3. Tinfoil Naderite that clearly illustrated the reasons that her 'side' can't win last night.

That interview should be broadcast nationally on the networks.

[Bubzer]

16. "Tinfoil Naderite" Glad you're interested in substance over ad hominem...

[mnhtnbb]

4. Great interview with Sarandon.

She's a very bright and articulate woman.

[turbinetree]

5. I like everything and her opinion and then the part on the word Principles........................

Honk---------------------for a political revolution Bernie 2016

[appalachiablue]

6. 'The status quo isn't working', she's right. Super interview and kudos to Susan

for her support of Bernie's campaign and years of work with progressive activism.

[tomm2thumbs]

7. thought it was a very honest discussion

Her answers were straight forward. Especially when Chris Hayes kept making the weak assumption that Trump WILL be the GOP candidate up against the Democrats. No one knows that, and actually there could be a divide in the GOP that creates a multiple-split in the General Election. (A much-less charismatic clown in Ross Perot was an actual challenger, and he didn't have as much of a following as Orange Bob, Square Head does.)

It also made Chris Hayes look a little naive (actually A LOT Naive) to be pushing the idea that Hillary just might be one of those magical-secret-make-a-wish politicians who takes all kinds of political spoils from big donors, won't release transcripts, deletes personal emails, but once they get in office, they go ahead and do the right thing -- this after years of examples of the contrary, including not supporting same-sex marriage, minimum wages, pushing bad trade deals, etc.

Doing the right thing starts with publicly financing your own campaign NOW without SuperPACS -- and definitely without taking hundreds of thousands of dollars PER SPEECH from corporations, big Pharma and Wall Street without being honest enough to release the words you spoke which would show how much you supposedly 'told them off' or expressed Democratic values to their faces. And we won't even get into the 350k per-plate fundraisers. Maybe that barking Hillary would look more respectful if someone was holding a $350k donation check up in the air.

Hillary is as transparent as they come, yet somehow Chris Hayes is wearing his HRC-inscribed rose-tinted glasses when he points his glare at her candidacy. A shame actually, but perhaps I'm too harsh on him and he was just pushing that magical concept because someone up in corporate wrote it down for him. Afterall, a guy's gotta eat.

[1monster]

24. I think that Chris Hayes was asking questions that gave Sarandon the opportunity

to point out that Hillary was NOT likely to turn into what many of us hoped we would get in the last election. We hoped that Obama would be the catalyst for the changes we needed (and yes, oh my, yes! he was hundreds of thousands time better than his predecessor) the 2008 election.

Hillary's record was always to the right of Obama and it seems to have gone farther right since 2008. Many people don't understand that. Hayes gave Sarandon the platform to address those issues and to point out how Bernie is better on the issues, character, and record.

That was good journalism. Remember, Hayes was not asking these questions for his benefit; he was asking for the benefit of the viewers.

[questionseverything]

34. i imagine hayes has nightmares finding himself in the position of defending the kissinger candidate

i remember when all the snowden files were coming out and hayes was a "guest" on odonnels show

odonnel was praising the nsa for decimating the 4th amendment and hayes eyes were clearly in "what the f***" mode

[polly7]

8. Very good interview with an extremely intelligent woman in touch with the issues

that affect so many who are needing a voice.

[LibDemAlways]

13. I thought Chris Hayes was going to cry when he

couldn't get Sarandon to acknowledge she'd ultimately vote Hillary if it comes to that. He was doing the full court corporate press, and it wasn't working. Loved it.

[SHRED]

14. Yeah let's all focus on supporters rather than the candidates...

...and their position they take.

Yeah, let's focus on Hollywood...that's the ticket.

[Cryptoad]

15. She must really Hate herself ,,,,,,sad

[Bubzer]

17. That must explain why she looks so happy and healthy... self hate... yeah, must be that...

[1monster]

27. Why? She looked and sounded very confident in herself and her beliefs.

She's articulate, well-informed, educated, and practicing what she believes. If that is self-hate, we are indeed in an Orwellian double speak world.

[revbones]

30. Who? Hillary? Weird that you have her icon and would say that. nt

[lastone]

42. WTF are you talking about?

[stonecutter357]

18. Susan Sarandon Doesn’t Know If She’d Vote For Hillary Over Trump.

lol

[Bubzer]

19. Well, it's her vote... not yours. You dont get a say there.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

55. You mean like how you Sanders' fanatics were badgering black voters for not voting for him?

So fucking transparent.

[Bubzer]

57. If you have an issue with a Sanders supporter, take it up with them. I am not their keeper.

So, your "So fucking transparent" comment is a non sequitur... but by all means, keep painting with that broad indiscriminant brush of yours...let everyone know exactly what to continue to expect from you.

[DrBulldog]

21. Remember the last exit poll taken at the end of the primary season in June, 2008?

FIFTY-FOUR PER CENT of Hillary's supporters said they would NEVER vote for Barach Obama.

[DrBulldog]

20. Great, great interview.

Susan really showed her political street smarts to Chris Hayes, who's pretty damn smart himself.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

23. The fact that she is even considering supporting Trump makes her full of shit!

Anyone who votes for that racist, bigoted fuckface is **NOTHING** to me.

[Bubzer]

26. False framing. She doesn't "consider" supporting trump, as you suggest.

[stonecutter357]

28. +1000

[Bubzer]

31. Cheering on the false framing... unsurprising. Anything to further HRC's bogus narrative eh?

[revbones]

32. Anything for the cause apparently... nt

[Bubzer]

44. Looks that way.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

37. NO!!!!! I HATE HILLARY CLINTON!!

[Bubzer]

43. I believe you.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

54. I don't give a flying fuck what you believe.

[Bubzer]

58. Yeah ya do...else you'd not have bothered to reply to say just that.

Have a great evening!

[stonecutter357]

46. umadbro? it's a headline.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/susan-sarandon-hillary-clinton_us_56fa784ee4b014d3fe2410e6

[Bubzer]

60. LOL... yeah, cause no media outlet ever wrote a title as clickbait to drive readership...right?

[1monster]

33. The fact that she is unsure of whether she will vote for Hillary is in no way

suggesting that she will support or vote for Trump. The world is not black and white (or in this case black or white). It comes in wonder colors,shades, and tints.

Life is easier in monochrome, but, oh, so much more beautiful in the full spectrum.

http://enchroma.com/

on edit: mistyped Trump when I meant Hillary. Not in any way dissing Hillary. I have had a problem all my life where I will mean to say one name (or other noun) and say another (usually the direct opposite). It is now apparently bleeding over into the typed word. It is some kind of brain dysfunction, I guess.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

39. She said good things about Trump. Again, even bringing up his name means

that it is a consideration.

She is dead to me. I hate bigots!

[1monster]

41. We must not have watched the same interview. Where did she say "good

things about Trump"?

Unless you mean where she said Trump would bring on immediate revolution? In that case, you totally misunderstood the point.

[Bubzer]

45. "She said good things about Trump" - No she didn't.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

53. She may not have explicitly said anything nice about Trump...

...other than the "revolution coming immediately".

There's NO "let's see what happens" or "thinking about it".

When asked, the answer should be FUCK NO! A principled liberal would NEVER support someone like Trump.

I have lost all respect for Susan Sarandon. Even if she can't support Hillary Clinton, she could still write Bernie's name in.

She's disgusting.

[Bubzer]

59. I'm sure next time she'll consult you on how to be a "principled liberal"...

Thank you for letting us all know you're the magical gatekeeper of what does and does not qualify as a "principled liberal"...

[LibDemAlways]

47. Wrong. She did not say anything good about Trump.

Possibly not voting for Hillary does not equal an endorsement of Trump.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

52. I'm listening her ass right now and she said that "she'll think about it...let's see what happens...

There's NO "let's see what happens" or "thinking about it".

When asked, the answer should be FUCK NO! A principled liberal would NEVER support someone like Trump.

I have lost all respect for Susan Sarandon. Even if she can't support Hillary Clinton, she could still write Bernie's name in.

She's disgusting.

[Bubzer]

61. You're apoplectic because she's not immediately coming to heel for hilly?

Where was your outrage when hilly refused to make up her mind on the TPP? Or when she remained "undecided" on the keystone XL pipeline? Where was your outrage when she called young black males super predators? Or when it was discovered she took money from the prison lobby? Or, for that matter, that she's STILL taking money from the prison lobby? Where is your outrage over her attack on poor folks across the nation by supporting the crippling of welfare?

I doubt you had any... so you can keep your phony outrage. You want to talk about principled liberals? You're supporting one of the most unscrupulous so-called democrats I've ever seen. Stop being so damn hypocritical.

[tiredtoo]

35. Two things in this interview

made me think. I paraphrase but, "Trump would bring on immediate revolution." and "This is a once in a lifetime opportunity."

[Bubzer]

36. I think trump would get impeached faster than anyone else in history.

I do agree with her that a Bernie presidency is a once in a lifetime opportunity, though.

[Metric System]

51. Sarandon's a privileged bird-brain.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

56. Privileged white girl who would support a racist like Trump. And Bernie fans are defending

her for it. Typical.

[Bubzer]

62. "Privileged white girl" - you mean like Hillary Clinton?

What was it you said before? Oh yeah... you're so fucking transparent.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

63. Hllary, Susan all the white girls who care nothing about themselves but want to tell

other people how to vote. All of them!

Yes, I am transparent. I don't let none of these assholes off the hook..

Of course, deflection is BS fans' sport. This thread is about Susan Sarandon and her fuckery, and as BSers always do, deflect from the issue at hand because they can't defend their candidate or his bigoted fans who think about voting for Trump if they don't get their ways.

Grow the fuck up.

[Bubzer]

64. Oh, so no you're the magical gatekeeper on maturity as well? You're on a roll.

Maybe you don't know this, but you have a journal... and your recs are tracked. A quick glance through your profile paints a picture of a Hillary supporter... no, I don't buy for a minute that you hold hilly to account for anything.

I've already debunked your phony outrage, and pointed out there's no substance to your complaint. I've already shown a light on your attempt to stir shit up. That you think I'm the one who needs to "grow the fuck up" is laughable at best.

You're right... you are transparent. You're pretending to be outraged... and all you're doing is attacking someone who isn't interested in supporting Hillary. Even better, you say I'm the one deflecting from the issues, while ignoring everything I've cited you have not objected to... remember, your past actions on DU are fairly easy to research. And while you claim "I don't let none of these assholes off the hook..", you are the one on the hook this time... and I'm certainly not letting you off.
