Bernie was invited to open up a dialogue between North and South Americas. Post your problem with

[Luminous Animal]

that.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

1. i see great problems

we have done horrible things in south and central america - best to ignore all of that

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

2. How dare he do that during a time of magnetic shift!

North could be South, and South could be North.

He should wait until the poles shift. Besides Hillary is the more established candidate when it comes to shifting so it should beling to her....

[Hoyt]

3. No problem. He needs it. He treats South Americans as not needing investment and jobs. Too many

of his supporters treat immigrants and South Americans as scabs.

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Many of his supporters are immigrants themselves

Tone deaf comment

[Luminous Animal]

5. You might want to sober up and re-write that.

[beedle]

6. I kind of like the idea of

Sanders Americans.

Or maybe Sander's Americans

[dchill]

7. Ooh! I wanna be one! I wanna be one!

Pleeeeeease?!

[Hoyt]

8. Automatic suggestion screwup, but at least you understood the point.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

10. down is up, up is down

[Hoyt]

11. One thing I love about politics. There are at least two sides to almost everything.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

12. the thing i love about facts is you can figure out which side is right

And which side is throwing out specious talking points

[Hoyt]

13. You'd think, except some folks here still believe the facts are that the Pope summoned

Sanders to the Vatican. That is obviously not true.

[delrem]

30. Liar.

[Aerows]

39. Damn.

And the winner of the high-handed comment of the day is ...

[Hoyt]

9. He needs to. He's against desperately needed investment/jobs in S America. Acts like SAs are scabs.

[think]

22. Free market Woodie! The one who thinks murdering union members doesn't have anything to do with

trade agreements!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026548246

Ya. I remember you.

And you have the audacity to claim Bernie supporters think the people trying to organize in Central and South America are scabs.

You've got a lot of nerve....

[Hoyt]

25. Nope, Sanders' supporters are into branding poor country workers as scabs.

[2banon]

34. Over the Top, Dishonest, Offensive, Nasty, beyond Snark

You've got no clue of what Bernie's about or his supporters. And it shows.

Here's an introduction from 1985 that might help you out:

[Hoyt]

37. Yeah right, he's out there pushing for investment and jobs for Mexico. He's a

Nationalist.

[2banon]

28. This!^^^^^^10000!

[geek tragedy]

14. Where is that on the programme?

http://www.pass.va/content/dam/scienzesociali/booklet/centesimus_annus.pdf

[Zorra]

15. Ain't it obvious? Some of them furrin' countries in South 'Murica is socialist.

And people in South 'Murica ain't real 'Muricans. We didn't destroy the commie economy of Venezuela just to make friends with 'em, we wanna own 'em, especially their oil. Hell, look what we did to Cuba for not gettin' on board with the gawd ordained global capitalist program. We make friends with them people down there, and all that time we spent installin' our loyal fascist SOA dictators down there will be a waste time.

Why, our very own Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, was one of the heroes what helped overthrow them commie democrats in Hondorris, which must be a South 'Murican country, cuz it's south of 'Murica.

[BernieforPres2016]

16. The Clinton Foundation rakes in the money from corrupt despots and businessmen everywhere

It's not just Central and South America. Africa and the Middle East are also major targets. There is nobody Bill Clinton won't deal with if he can get away with it. The State Department had to stop him from taking $600,000 to give a speech in the Republic of Congo and have his pictures taken with a couple of dictators. He flies around the world on Frank Giustra's jet. Look into Giustra's business ventures. And those of the Lundin Group, a mining company that loves cutting deals for mineral rights with dictators in places like the Sudan and the Republic of Congo. The Lundin Group and Frank Giustra have each given $100 million to the Clinton Foundation.

17. the Facusses need a new mansion! a mansion covering an entire island!

[Cheese Sandwich]

18. Bernie will be the greatest president of all time for relations with Latin America

I think it's awesome he is going on the trip.

[Luminous Animal]

19. This could be an opportunity to heal 50o+ year old wounds.

[Cheese Sandwich]

21. He would aim to set us on a path toward shared good fortune where we all thrive together

You can see it in his statements about Nicaragua, Chile, and Guatemala, from what I've seen when he also rebuked Kissinger, and also rebuked the Monroe Doctrine which takes us back about 200 years.

Speaking of 500 years, this didn't get much attention but the other day in Philly Bernie actually said he would issue a formal apology for slavery. It seems like mostly the right wing press have that.

[Jitter65]

29. Good relations with SA are going to call for trade agreements, immigration reforms that Bernie seems

to be against. How's that going to work?

[Aerows]

42. It will work a hell of a lot better

than Hillary Clinton's dealing with Honduras.

[Aerows]

46. Note that there was no reply

and it is clear why there was no reply.

This has to be the lamest attempt at slamming Bernie since the guy that asked him about "Zionist regime" today.

It never stops, and neither does he in being kind, considerate and refusing to give into bullshit political cesspit trifles.

I'd be ashamed if I was a Hillary Clinton supporter.

[Avalux]

20. I think I may have some insight into part of the problem.

Bernie will be meeting with two South American Presidents, yet he isn't one (YET).

Do you think Hillary Inc. is pissed Bernie is being treated as a head of state, and the important symbolism - that he's presidential - is what's chapping their collective ass?

Especially when they've spent so much time trying to paint Bernie as anything but.

[passiveporcupine]

40. what's chapping their collective ass?

What isn't chapping their collective ass right now?

[Aerows]

43. Precisely the problem. n/t

[brooklynite]

23. I guess my problem would be: he wasn't...

He was invited to ATTEND a conference. He wasn't invited to speak or "open up a dialogue".

[Luminous Animal]

24. You won't respond but here you go.

Mons. Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, chancellor of the academy, also discussed Sanders's scheduled visit in a phone call.

"It does not signify any support of the campaign," Sorondo explained. "We want to establish a dialogue between North America and South America so we thought to invite a (U.S.) politician. The President of Bolivia will also be there.

[jillan]

32. Lol - seriously? Did Archer tell you that too?

The Democratic presidential candidate plans to take a brief hiatus from the campaign trail days ahead of the New York primary to attend a conference on social, economic, and environmental issues hosted by the Vatican, where he's been invited to speak

Bernie Sanders Accepts Invitation to Speak at the Vatican
http://ktla.com/2016/04/08/bernie-sanders-accepts-invitation-to-speak-at-the-vatican/

Did you want me to copy and paste some more for you

[Aerows]

47. I'd be ashamed to be a Hillary Clinton supporter today.

Bernie Sanders had anti-Semitic crap hurled at him.

http://observer.com/2016/04/bernie-sanders-berated-with-questions-about-zionist-jews-at-harlem-forum/

A Harlem man demanded Sen. Bernie Sanders explain his relationship “with your Jewish community” at an event at the iconic Apollo Theater today.

Mr. Sanders, the only Jew to have ever won a presidential primary, held the “community conversation” as part of his outreach effort to African-Americans, who so far have delivered most of their votes to Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. After a panel discussion with singer Harry Belafonte, hip-hop personality Charlamagne Tha God, Erica Garner—the daughter of Eric Garner, who died at the hands of an NYPD officer in Staten Island in 2014—and former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner, the Vermont independent took two questions from the audience.

[ucrdem]

26. It's a fine idea but how's his Italian? How about his Spanish?

He might have some trouble following the discussion.

[jillan]

33. Hahaaaa - this is getting hillaryous! Gee how do leaders from around the world communicate?

Hmmm.

[ucrdem]

38. It's a conference in Italy. Hard to open a dialogue when you don't speak the language. nt

[eShirl]

48. Seriously?

Is this a parody of a Hillary supporter?

[passiveporcupine]

41. Please DON"T TELL THEM

Their consternation and befuddlement is too amusing!

[jillan]

44. It is amusing. They are worried about everything. They are so thoughtful.

[Barack_America]

45. Oh noes! And Latin is a dead language...they'll just have to cancel...

...the meeting. There's no way out of this mess.

Thank God your girl is fluent in 50 world languages so she could be SOS.

[Hoyt]

27. Sanders, and many of his supporters, are Nationalists, America First types.

I hope he learns something at the conference about global worker needs.

[JonLeibowitz]

35. U.S. politicians are elected by Americans to advance Americans' interests and values.

Otherwise, we might as well not be a soverign country.

[Hoyt]

36. Good idea. Sovereignty is a global issue. All but a small percentage of Americans

are the global 5%ers who have taken more of their share of the he world's wealth, but want/need more and whine if a poor country gets jobs.

[ContinentalOp]

31. No problem. It sounds like the perfect job for him.

since he won't be needed here!
