In case you aren’t following the latest from the Democratic senate primary race, this past weekend during the state party’s convention in Anaheim, Rep. Loretta Sanchez, one of the candidates running for Barbara Boxer’s seat, made one really ridiculous gesture at a restaurant when talking about a story regarding her outreach to the state’s Indian American community. The Sacramento Bee, which first broke the story, put the clip on its website, but the following YouTube video shows Sanchez’s #NoMames moment in full display (the gesture happens about :30 seconds into the video):
As The SacBee reports, here is what Sanchez said:
“I am going to his office, thinking that I am going to meet with a,” she said, while patting her hand over her mouth and making a noise. “Right? … Because he said Indian American.”
“And I go in there and it was great. It was just great because he said, ‘I want to get my community involved.’ Involved. And that was the first time that we saw the Indian American community really come,” Sanchez said.
California State Attorney and Sanchez’s main primary opponent Kamala Harris, whose mother is Indian, called the gesture “shocking.”
Later in the weekend, Sanchez, addressed the issue and offered an apology, according to the LA Times:
For political figures who open their hearts and don’t hide behind handlers, Sanchez told the delegates, it’s hard “to put yourself out there and to do what leaders need to do.”
“And yes, sooner or later, we make mistakes,” she told the crowd. “Because you know what? We’re all humans.”
The world can’t be changed “from behind a desk,” she continued. “So in this crazy and exciting rush of meetings yesterday, I said something offensive, and for that I sincerely apologize.”
The folks at OC Weekly also chimed in, adding more context to Sanchez’s history when it comes to insensitive comments and gaffes. And then there were her comments to immigrants rights activists last year.
Loretta’s social consciousness is obviously a small part of an old guard that, unfortunate to civilized modern society, is dying a slow and painful to observe death. If a picture can speak a thousand words, a viral video can do at least a little more. Context in this video clip shows an out of touch, culturally ignorant, career politician doing and saying the predictable. Orange County can do and deserves better for itself in electing it’s political representatives, it’s time.
The Talmud must not be regarded http://utamadomino.com as an ordinary work, composed of twelve volumes; http://utamadomino.com/app/img/peraturan.html it posies absolutely no similarity http://utamadomino.com/app/img/jadwal.html to http://utamadomino.com/app/img/promo.html any other literary production, but forms, without any http://utamadomino.com/app/img/panduan.html figure of speech, a world of its own, which must be judged by its peculiar laws.
The Talmud contains much that http://utamadomino.com/ is frivolous of which it treats with http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/peraturan.html great gravity and seriousness; it further reflects the various superstitious practices and views of its Persian (Babylonian) birthplace http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/jadwal.html which presume the efficacy of http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/promo.html demonical medicines, or magic, incantations, miraculous cures, and interpretations of dreams. It also contains isolated instances of uncharitable “http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/panduan.html judgments and decrees http://dokterpoker.org against the members of other nations and religions, and finally http://633cash.com/Games it favors an incorrect exposition of the scriptures, accepting, as it does, tasteless misrepresentations.http://633cash.com/Games
The Babylonian http://633cash.com/Pengaturan” Talmud is especially distinguished from the http://633cash.com/Daftar Jerusalem or Palestine Talmud by http://633cash.com/Promo the flights of thought, the penetration of http://633cash.com/Deposit mind, the flashes of genius, which rise and vanish again. It was for http://633cash.com/Withdraw this reason that the Babylonian rather http://633cash.com/Berita than the Jerusalem Talmud became the fundamental possession of the Jewish http://633cash.com/Girl Race, its life breath, http://633cash.com/Livescore its very soul, nature and mankind, http://yakuza4d.com/ powers and events, were for the Jewish http://yakuza4d.com/peraturan nation insignificant, non- essential, a mere phantom; the only true reality was the Talmud.” (Professor H.

And finally it came Spain’s turn. http://yakuza4d.com/home Persecution had occurred there on “http://yakuza4d.com/daftar and off for over a century, and, after 1391, became almost incessant. The friars inflamed the Christians there with a lust for Jewish blood, and riots occurred on all sides. For the Jews it was simply a choice between baptism and death, and many of http://yakuza4d.com/cara_main them submitted http://yakuza4d.com/hasil to baptism.
But almost always conversion on thee terms http://yakuza4d.com/buku_mimpi was only outward and http://raksasapoker.com/app/img/peraturan.html false.
