Is that supposed to be "Englishony" or "glishony" or "glony" because I'm not hearing "English Only"

Either there's a lot more context needed or this latest "controversy" is just another to add to a long list of smears.

At this point, I don't believe anything I hear from that campaign until I see Bernie on tape actually eating the baby.

labeling is very hard for me to give the benefit of the doubt. I have become very cynical of what I have seen from the MSM, DNC and some supporters it is just too much to ignore. Bernie is spot on by saying we need a political revolution.

Now maybe there is video somewhere else that shows something else but if so I couldn't find it. Maybe one of the Clinton supporters have a link?

I just listened with the volume cranked. I heard nothing along the lines of English only. If it were true I'd be very disappointed in those people. But this leads me to wonder if this is more of the same from the Clinton camp...

At this point I don't even know if it was a Sanders supporter that said neutral. It could have been a fair minded Hillary supporter that thought there should be a translator that didn't come from either campaign?

I'm guessing some people misheard the people saying that wanted a politically neutral translator and jumped to conclusions.

Do Clinton supporters not realize that she's going to need Bernie's supporters if she's going to win?

I swear to God, I think some of the slander I've heard (from both sides) must be coming from paid Republican trolls.

I was at a caucus site today with THOUSANDS of Democrats and there was not one harsh word. Minorities were equally split. I began my public speech by saying how much I liked Hillary, and the Clinton folks began by saying how awesome Bernie is.

There is no fuckng way in Hell that any of the Democrats in this state would pull shit like that. This is bullshit, pure and adulterated.

I heard the typical chaos and people talking over each other. I didn't hear "English only!".

Did anyone else???

We had to tell shhhh people and be very direct with them when we were trying to count. It can get tense. People can be rude too. I'm just not hearing what people are asserting.
