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?

Commie Valentine

The pivotal Nevada Caucus will be held on February 22nd and the Culinary Union is up in arms over Bernie Sanders’ Medicare For All single-payer, government-run health insurance scheme.

“We have fought for 85 years to protect our health care. Why would we let politicians take it away? A history of blood, sweat, and tears secured our healthcare, not politicians’ promises. We fought for our health care,” declares a flyer aggressively distributed throughout the state in advance of the caucus.

The new presumptive front-runner was slammed by the Las Vegas Sun newspaper which endorsed Biden and Klobuchar saying of the commie who combs his hair with a balloon, “Sanders is the only clear non-starter. It’s impossible not to regard the Vermont senator in a Trump-like mold—he seldom has shown an ability to build consensus and threatens to use executive orders extensively, just like Trump. It’s also doubtful he could assemble a highly qualified Cabinet, meaning he’d essentially be the left-wing version of Trump: isolated, angry, unable to work with others and showing too little respect for dissenting opinions. A Sanders candidacy simply guarantees a Trump second term.”

The communist in sheep’s socialist clothing has spent his entire career explaining away the terrifying tyranny of massively increasing the power of the state over the individual.  He is on the record admiring the economic “achievements” of Castro’s Cuba, Nicaragua’s Sandinistas and the Soviet Union right up to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

He’s never met a communist regime he didn’t admire.  The failure of the socialist ideology of Venezuela has forced Sanders to distance himself from his former position of support for Cuba, Nicaragua and the USSR to the Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland and Sweden all while misleading his cultish followers about the political and economic realities on the ground.

In 1981, shortly after he was elected Mayor of Burlington, VT he told a room full of charity workers, “I don’t believe in charities,” because only the government should provide social services to the needy.

In 1988, three years before it collapsed, Sanders visited the Soviet Union.  A reporter for POLITICO watched 3½ hours of video from his honeymoon to the USSR that had been unseen by the public for three decades.  The hours of footage include a scene of Sanders sitting with his delegation at a table under a portrait of Vladimir Lenin. Sanders can also be heard extolling the virtues of Soviet life and culture, even as he acknowledges some of their shortcomings. There are flashes of humor, too, such as his host warning the American guests not to cross the KGB, or else.

Sanders is seen living it up with the Soviets. There are, naturally, shrines to Lenin everywhere and, as the reporter notes, “There’s plenty of material that Democratic voters might worry the Republican Party could spin into a 30-second negative ad.”

One video in particular begins with Comrade Bernie saying, “You know, it’s funny how some American journalists talk about how bad a country is because people are lining up for food.  That’s a good thing.  In other countries people don’t line up for food.  The rich get the food and the poor starve to death.”
In 1980 and 1984, Sanders campaigned for Socialist Workers Party presidential candidates Andrew Pulley and Mel Mason. Their presidential platforms included promises to dismantle the entire U.S. military and nationalize most industries.  Sanders was later investigated by the FBI for his ties to the Marxist group although charges were never brought.

On Monday, the Washington Post reported that in 1983, Soviet Embassy First Secretary Vadim Kuznetsov congratulated Sanders in a letter for his reelection as Mayor of Burlington. Kuznetsov, a leader of the Soviet's spy outfit, had just attended a conference in Sanders's city a few days earlier.

And if we needed another piece of the puzzle to explain the panic of the DNC, Lloyd Blankfein who was Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs from 2006 until 2018 and a huge contributor to the DNC and endorsed Granny Clinton in 2016 tweeted:
UPDATE:  I found this video where Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus communicate with Comrade Bernie as Saint Greta Thunberg the climate brat and her father Svante.
