1. One strong woman to another

2. So glad she's behind Hillary

I've always liked Meryl Streep. Sadly, I always liked Susan Sarandon a lot too but now not so much.

3. Afraid there's a wide gap in their respective IQs. Streep is known to have

a nearly genius-level intelligence. Her ability to learn languages and accents is without equal.

Sarandon, not so much. When you consider her naïve political pronouncements, it makes sense.

5. IMO, they are both good actresses.

But Meryl Streep is better in all ways ... and much the better human being of the two.

Susan has really diminished herself in the latter category with her ridiculous pronouncements about Hillary this time around. It's not that she supports Bernie that turned me against her; it's that she specifically attacked Hillary and her supporters, thoroughly disrespecting a legendary icon of labor rights, among others.

There was no need to do any of that if she was so sure that Bernie was the better candidate. That she didn't seem to realize that negative campaigning hurt him bears out the truth of your post.

7. This was when I first started to get seriously disgusted with her...back in January.

The BS Group OP displaying it got 300+ recs. and was the cause of my banning from the Group:



Couldn't agree more with your observation here:

It's not that she supports Bernie that turned me against her; it's that she specifically attacked Hillary and her supporters, thoroughly disrespecting a legendary icon of labor rights, among others.

8. I got banned from the BS group

around that time simply for requesting that people not repeat RW smears against Hillary. BAM - that was it!

I sent a private message to the banner, noting that I hadn't actually realized I was in the BS Group at the time and hadn't intended to "dis" anyone with my request, but received no reply whatsoever. That was the real beginning of my disillusionment.

When anyone uses "fuck" in such a dismissive way, it is NOT at all persuasive, IMO. And I never agreed that Bernie was the "best guy" - I would have voted for Martin O'Malley over Bernie myself. Especially after my experiences with some Sanders supporters.

But this time, the "best guy" is in fact a woman! Of that, there is no doubt.

10. SO true. When you have to resort to tossing the "F" bomb around, for my money that

means you're lacking in vocabulary and class.

And, all you do is devalue the currency of the word for the moments when it's REALLY called for.

11. I actually hate looking at this photo. She's always been a strange woman.

[Surya Gayatri]

12. Agree. She's rarely portrayed sympathetic characters in her films. On the contrary, she can

be downright creepy. Even in "Thelma & Louise", she gave off a strange vibe.

13. Well put

I totally agree, I don't dislike her for her support of Bernie but I strongly dislike her attacks against Hillary.

Wonderful tribute!

6. This is why Hillary Clinton deserves to be President

It has nothing to do with anointing her. She has earned this.

9. Hillary is admired by the best, the strongest and most remarkable women & men in the world!

14. That is wonderful, Thank you, working!
