Comrade Bernie Seeing Red Over The Left’s Fear And Loathing Of Him

Let’s begin by stating the obvious:  Democrats have suddenly realized Bernie Sanders is going to win his party’s nomination for president.

The Democrat “establishment” has been asleep at the wheel ever since 2016.  It now comes face-to-face with the monster it created.  A profile of Sanders in 2015 by POLITICO argued he had benefited from “an unwritten agreement” that everyone would “steer clear” of scrutinizing his personal history.  Hillary refrained from doing so in 2016.

Trump-deranged journalists must be held accountable for having remained silent on this useless-as-tits-on-a-boar-hog socialist with twisted sexual fantasies and the culture of sexual harassment in his 2016 campaign.

The Trump campaign will not hesitate for a moment to eviscerate him, but that’s for another post on another day.

After the vicious free-for-all at the last Democratic Presidential Debate Andrew Perez, a political writer for International Business Times, tweeted a plea to take down Sanders from the founders of Third Way, a national think tank that “champions modern center-left ideas.”  
Deciding which candidate should go head-to-head against President Trump is the paramount political calculation of a lifetime for the DNC.

USA Today noted in 2016 Clinton pummeled Sanders in the four Sunbelt states of Florida (64-33%), Arizona (58-40%), North Carolina (55-41%) and Texas (65-33%).

In a 1983 political debate Sanders first exclaimed, “I am a socialist; of course I’m a socialist.”  Republicans have tried without success in the past to label Democrat nominees as socialists, but this time the charge will stick to Sanders like shit on your shoe.

The potency of that attack is evidenced by Sanders’ central policy proposal: "Medicare for All." His plan would turn over total control to the federal government of one-fifth of the American economy. It doesn’t take much Trumpian logic to label that “socialized medicine.”

Now Bernie Sanders is getting a small taste of the criticism piled on Donald Trump for the entirety of his first term as president.  The New York Post  published a report saying, “The Democratic front-runner has been left seeing red over repeated slights against him by liberal MSNBC pundits and hosts, including Chris Matthews, who suggested the senator might cheer socialist executions in Central Park. And Chuck Todd—a moderator of Wednesday’s debate—even quoted a story that described Sanders supporters as a ‘digital brownshirt brigade.’ Todd was also tackled by the seething Sanders onstage after the debate: ‘I do not appreciate your comment about my supporters,’ adding the Holocaust reference was ‘offensive.’”

During the post-debate discussion, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes interrupted saying that Sanders is “pretty clearly” in favor of the type of socialism found in countries like Denmark, which Matthews had said was harmless, Matthews again suggested Sanders might have supported violent regimes, asking, “Is he? How do you know? Did he tell you that?” 
Matthews and Todd are facing calls for them to resign.  Matthews compared Sanders’ victory in the Nevada caucus to the Nazi invasion of France.
Sanders' communications director, Mike Casca, responded to Matthews' comment.

"Never thought part of my job would be pleading with a national news network to stop likening the campaign of a Jewish presidential candidate whose family was wiped out by the Nazis to the Third Reich, but here we are."

These comments are not dissimilar to the hateful rhetoric repeated ad nauseum against our president for nearly four years. 
How does it feel now that the shoe is on the other foot Comrade Bernie?
