Bernie Heading Back to South Carolina with Cornel West in Tow
Sanders will appear at Winthrop with Cornel West, prominent political activist, former Harvard professor, and member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Sanders was elected to his U.S. Senate seat in Vermont as an independent in 2006. Before that, he served as Vermont’s representative in the U.S. House for 16 years.
Sanders, seeking the Democratic Party’s nomination for president, is running in a far less crowded field than the Republican hopefuls who have campaigned across South Carolina this summer.
GOP hopefuls Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Rick Santorum and Lindsey Graham have all stopped in or around York County.
Sanders will be the first Democratic hopeful to appear in the Rock Hill area.

At least he doesn't try to talk "Southern" or "black" to them like Illinois-born Clinton in 2007. People are people, no matter their color, and, like most people (judging from your beloved polls showing his support growing and hers sinking), the more they hear from Bernie, the more they love him. I suspect PoC are no different.

Tons of people there before all the hoopla about his crowd sizes made the news.
but he "remembers it"
In a coma?
Where have you been? You just got here.
Only one MAN can do this????
The man can do this and if I ignore it I am at peril? 
Lol~ The Women can do it better and faster and brighter!
Women are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to DU, I think you will fit in well.
She's been co-opted by Wall Street and war hawks.
BTW, just because a new poster shows up here doesn't mean he or she hasn't been paying attention. DU is hardly a blip on the political radar.
I read that...what a ringing endorsement! 
More appropriate to call VR~ Ms.
And..Hmmm Okay~
and will remain tumbling down to near 0% chance of winning by the time all is said and done. And Sanders will make sure the DNC be repopulated by the appropriate ideology as in progressive/liberal officers.
I love the Monkees~
Didn't take long for you to jump right in.
Enjoy your stay.
They already had him. They were checking out his Ipp. ( correct term???) They think it was hawkeye.
Gone with the wind once again. What an ass.
Said nobody ever!
Let me introduce you to the GOP who have attacked her her entire career...
You better get worried about Sanders thin skin should he have to face them in the General.
Stop it! Please stop posting pictures of Bernie with random Black folks to prove what isn't.
Sincerely,
1SBM
Thanks for that belly laugh.....it is rather tone deaf isn't it???
God, and Clinton supporters think Sanders campaign is tone deaf.
where he desperately needs to pick up Black votes????
I will, thank you for your permission. So kind of you. 
Don't try to sugar coat it.

And, your using the word "fawn" when talking about President Obama's supporters say everything about you and nothing about us.
What could go wrong?
K&R
Sanders really wants this at his side?
Or is it just desperation and inability to find another prominent AA to stand by him?
Regardless, it makes Sanders look clueless.
When the lion and the whining pussy-cat came face to face, it was no contest as the lion (Dyson) told the pussy-cat (West), “you ain’t that important.”
Cornel West has been parading around for awhile like an ignorant Ostrich blaming the Obama administration for everything bad under the sun happening to America, since he started lamenting that Obama refused to invite him, his mother, uncle and brother to the first inaugural ceremonies in 2008. Just because he luke-warmly supported Obama during the campaign. Listen, he was a late comer having behaved like the other black leaders who kept their distance from Obama until the whites in Iowa dealt a blow to Hilary’s ambition, before they realized “oh wow, if the whites thought so highly about our own, why shouldn’t we support him.” Okay, so what if he supported Obama during the campaign. So did a lot of us. I used hours of my radio program to blast the hell out of Mr. “Bomb Bomb” McCain.
Okay, I received the general invitation and I had to watch the inauguration almost from the edge of the Potomac river, and it cost me a lot of money to journey to Washington, DC, and check us into an suitable hotel. So Prof. West why do you think you are more important, ehn?
Okay, this is not about me, it is about you calling Rev. Al Sharpton, Dr. Melissa Harris-Perry and Dr. Michael Eric Dyson “house negroes of the Obama White House,” and being a Judas of the black community when it comes to the Obama administration in your hateful comments and criticisms, a courage you didn’t display during the Bush administration. But hey, you got your comeuppance from Michael, and as told by Rolling Out, I am glad:

He and Tavis are quite a pair are they not MADem!?
And that it will hurt Bernie, someone who they really don't like because of a certain other candidate.
I'm dizzy, I need to sit down.
Your concern is duly noted.
Oh that'll help!
Not sure I would like the sand fleas and humidity any better. At the very least, I would not have had to shovel them. However, I did little of that last year. My sweet downstairs neighbor too care of most of that for me. Bless his heart.
I was not here in 2008.Yet I watched and read anything I could. I wanted Obama. I truly did. He has done so much for us despite the hate.
So, I will agree with you about that one sentiment you have, I will never like someone like that, either.
I don't forget or forgive because the stakes were too high for us back in 2008 for that kind of nonsense.
Did I agree then on some of what Bill and Hillary said about him, no. Yet he is a generous man. They worked out their differences. If he forgave that, then I do as well. She evolved. You know, that was politics what Cornnel and Tavis are doing is personal. They keep doubling down. "the first niggerized President"
I received an email from a dear friend today that made me aware of an interview given to Smiley and West on Democracy Now with Amy Goodman & Juan González. In that interview Cornel West referred to the president as “a Rockefeller Republican in blackface”. He also implied that Al Sharpton, Melissa Harris-Perry, and Michael Dyson, three MSNBC personalities generally supportive of the President are on the take. Had such statements being made by others in the media, both Smiley and West would be up in arms making accusations of racism.

He also called them "house Negros"

This is the hardest to address. No 0ne here ever said this. No one. No one here has ever used such a large brush saying all Sanders supporters are racist. Are there some? Yes! Are some HRC supporters racist? Again yes.
I think I have lost a lot of good friends at the DU this summer simply because I disagree with the notion that all of Bernie's supporters are racists.
All that happened right here at the DU.
As for not talking to you, I sent you a pm, actually now two. I had been looking for you.
I have been here since 2003, but left in 2004 for quite a spell when a lot of people here started bashing Kerry.
Nevertheless, I have been here all summer this year, reading and writing.
And I read what was said about Bernie supporters in the AA group.
And in the HOF group.
And in the BOG.
That's why it is the hardest part for you to address.
Who is that in your avatar?
It doesn't matter much.
The annexation of those groups doesn't bother me much.
I had to block getting PMs from the people who had sent me PMs previously because I was getting too many PMs.
calling Bernie supporters as racist ... though there ARE some Bernie support who very well may be racist, and have said some racially sketchy things (e.g., calling an African-American posters raising racial issues a "Race-nagger" ... poster calling African-American posters discussing racial issues, "perpetually perturbed" .
Merely making a personal accusation ("projection"
is not an argument of any kind.better than that.
Just a pic from today, Starry.

Happy Labor Day~ 
Or the day after, as it is now.
than in Harlem? Seems to be two totally different audiences. South seems to like the Evangelical Style that West conveys over the more Intellectual Audience that Harlem and Northeast African-American Audiences would be receptive to. .
seems Sanders supporters only seem to understand "favorables and unfavorables" today, so I thought I would say it in terms they would understand!
And, he has an Evangelical Style of speech that the South likes. Whether African-American or Other.
His problem with Obama was that he expected more. And, yes...I also find him controversial at times but I take into consideration what point of view he comes from.
Let’s Set the Record Straight – Black People Don’t Hate Tavis Smiley and Cornel West Simply Because They’re Critical of Obama.
*Why is it that most Tavis Smiley and Cornel West supporters always jump to the unwarranted conclusion that the only reason that Black people dislike Smiley and West is because they’re criticizing President Obama?
That’s an extremely presumptuous point of view, and it’s not true. The majority of Black people aren’t hostile toward Tavis and West BECAUSE they criticize Obama, but for the WAY they criticize Obama.
The reason we become angry every time they criticize Obama is because Tavis and West are arrogant, petty, self-serving, condescending, and disrespectful, and those flawed character traits come to the forefront whenever the subject of President Obama comes up. In addition, they’re criticisms never come coupled with constructive solutions, so it’s obvious to the Black community that they’re not actually interested in the issues; they’re merely USING the issues as a pretext to attack the man – and Cornel’s repeated racial slanders clearly validates that perception.
Black people clearly understand that ALL politicians’ feet should be kept to the fire, and that includes Obama’s. I’ve written several articles criticizing President Obama, and I’ve also written articles explaining WHY it’s important to hold his feet to the fire (http://wattree.blogspot.com/2011/01/obama-supporters-vs-cheerleaders.html), but when I criticize Obama I make sure that my criticisms are respectful, issue-specific, constructive, I ALWAYS come armed with solutions – and I send them to him. A case in point is an article I wrote in November 2009 entitled, “Could Obama Fall Victim to a Change We Can’t Believe In,” where I said the following:
