I'll repeat what someone said in another thread. Shame on you. bobbobbins01 Feb 2016 #28

I am glad that the Sanders Campaign denounced this behavior. leftofcool Feb 2016 #29

Well they didn't because there was no behavior. cui bono Feb 2016 #64

She even suggested she and a Spanish speaking Sanders supporter translate together MohRokTah Feb 2016 #10

The moderator didn't allow that. n/t cui bono Feb 2016 #23

I don't think you understand what the word neutral means. Joe the Revelator Feb 2016 #12

He shot it down because of lack of consensus. joshcryer Feb 2016 #17

My understanding is that the rules require a neutral translator. Huerta is not neutral by any Joe the Revelator Feb 2016 #18

Caucus rules are ad hoc nonsense. joshcryer Feb 2016 #20

Are you implying she is neutral? Joe the Revelator Feb 2016 #26

If you're supposed to translate something... joshcryer Feb 2016 #48

But was she a neutral? Joe the Revelator Feb 2016 #51

Anyone can be neutral in a room of half bilinguals. joshcryer Feb 2016 #24

And that is why he ruled the way he did nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #27

He ruled that way because of the headache. joshcryer Feb 2016 #41

Neither Huerta or the Sanders supporter were neutral nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #45

I've never heard of a caucus that wasn't staffed by fully volunteers. joshcryer Feb 2016 #54

Well josh I have never heard so many excuses nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #58

*sigh* Nothing in the Selection Process mentions "neutrality for translators." joshcryer Feb 2016 #65

Who is applauding English only? nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #75

Rules despite you finding them bunk are supposed to be followed. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #66

Ad hoc caucus rules? joshcryer Feb 2016 #69

Jheez, up is down, moral is immoral, rules are meant to be broken. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #70

A rule forbidding translation... joshcryer Feb 2016 #71

Yeah, I saw it. It was a blanket statement about unity and respect. frylock Feb 2016 #52

No. They didn't denounce the behavior because there was no behavior to denounce. cui bono Feb 2016 #74

And so he should. We should all denounce that type of behavior. I did so immediately... Autumn Feb 2016 #36

He actually did not really as there was no such behavior at that event. cui bono Feb 2016 #42

No he did not. You keep posting comments without links. cui bono Feb 2016 #39

In Hillarian speak, Bernie personally called out all supporters on DU individually. frylock Feb 2016 #50
