The anti-Clinton event took place two weeks before the June 7 California primary context between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

Los Angeles held another anti-Hillary Clinton rally in front of a US$1,000-a-ticket fundraiser on Monday, demanding that the Democratic front-runner commit to ending deportations and addressing the root causes of forced migration.

A coalition of Latino community organizations, led by the Human Rights Alliance for Child Refugees and Families, called Clinton a "war criminal" who was "responsible for the coup of President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras and the killing of thousands in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Palestine."

Besides naming her hawkish record, the event organizers stressed that she called for the deportation of unaccompanied refugee children back to Central America when she was Secretary of State and could easily do the same as president.

Particularly, Latino organizations have called Clinton out on her involvement in the 2009 coup in Honduras that has caused an increase in human rights abuses, including the murder of environmental activist Berta Caceres, leading thousands of Hondurans to flee their country....

Bet you a dollar the Clinton campaign set this up to make Hillary seem more hawkish on Immigration than she really is.

Naw, even the Clinton’s aren’t diabolical enough to triangulate this stuff. This is pure democratic socialist implosion. Pass the popcorn.

OH NOOOOOOOOOOEZ !!!

[dfwgator]

The Clintons are the Kings of Triangulation.

[Tennessee Nana]

well my reaction to that bit was SAY WHAT ???

addressing the root causes of forced migration.

Ds are trying to turn the US into Venezuela. What more do these people want Hillary to do to discourage Venezuelans and others from immigrating here? I think there are better ways to address the root cause but Ds are working on it.

Latinos (aka:mexicans) want nieto, fox, bernie, or some other central/south american socialist thug as US president.

But with this being the United States and all, the latinos (aka: mexicans) have NO say in the matter, and can just STFU and pray to god that we don’t carpet bomb mexico.

“Latinos (aka:mexicans) want nieto, fox, bernie, or some other central/south american socialist thug as US president.”

Yeah, like Manuel Zelaya, for example.

And Hillary was not responsible for the ouster of Zelaya, but she, along with Buckwheat and others, WAS responsible for most of the world calling it a “coup”. That was a major MEDIA coup and I doubt the record will ever be set straight that there WAS NO @$#*ing COUP!

This was another Hillary achievement akin to saying Benghazi was due to a video.

[usurper]

WAS NO @$#*ing COUP!

You are correct he was lawfully removed by their supreme court as I recall and Obama and Hillary spiting mad. They were planing some kind of major retaliation as I also recall but congress stopped them. One of the few times congress did anything effective.
