1. K&R!

[daleanime]

2. K&R....

[ananda]

3. Everything is right with that!

Thank you Senator Sanders!

[Triana]

4. THAT is the answer to anyone who cries "SOCIALISM!" about Sanders

Democratic Socialism and Socialism are different things. Sanders explained that in this interview. It's an important distinction.

[BrotherIvan]

5. +1

It will be used like the Dean Scream and it is everyone's job to educate friends and family that Stalin isn't running for president. Fox News is building the graphics right now.

[merrily]

36. +1

[BrotherIvan]

6. I guess you didn't see the shitstorm on this thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026613443

Because Scandinavia is a hellhole of racism and sexism and that's what Bernie wants for us!

[Nay]

8. Wasn't that the shitz?? I was in there with you, and I couldn't believe the crap that

was coming out of people who should know better. I keep telling people that PROPAGANDA WORKS, and RW shit about socialism, Scandinavian countries, etc., has been embedded deeply into this country's mythology -- so deeply that so-called liberals spout it!!!

Mind-numbing and sad at the same time!

[Voice for Peace]

17. isnt propaganda marvelous? in an insidious way?

I'm constantly confronting stuff in my own head that I
have somehow downloaded from the purveyors of misinformation.

Some of this stuff is SO OLD and still affects me. But one of
my favorite life experiences is when I learn that something I
totally believe is utterly wrong.

[BrotherIvan]

24. You could see it working as impressionable posters took up the idea and spread it to other threads

Then it became whenever the subject came up, "Well, Scandinavia is racist and sexist..." It makes this place look as ignorant and uninformed as freeperville. And that's me being generous.

[Marr]

11. lol!

Within a couple of days of Sanders entering the race, I learned that Scandanavia is a hive of sexism and racism, and OWS was a rich white boy's frat party.

Crazy how these things never came up before!

[BrotherIvan]

23. I didn't know that marching for and being part of the actual Civil Rights movement

made you a flaming racist. Because someone somewhere told people that social and economic justice are diametrically opposed. Except they forgot to tell these people

[Hissyspit]

15. That was embarassing.

Why can't people just say "I prefer Hillary?"

That's rhetorical, by the way.

[BrotherIvan]

20. Absolutely

I have yet to hear a good argument why one prefer Hillary other than "she can raise lots of money and that's the only way to beat Republicans." Boo! But posing as a "supporter" and then throwing around some of the worst smears imaginable is seriously twisted.

This is a person who experienced his family members killed in the holocaust when he was a child but now he's some kind of white supremacist?

Brooklyn-raised Sanders was born to a Polish Jewish immigrant father whose family was mostly wiped out during the Holocaust, and a mother who was the daughter of Polish Jewish immigrants, according to a 2007 New York Times profile. Sanders’ version of socialism is rooted in 20th-century Jewish-American leftist politics, which organized for better working conditions and wages, equality for women, and civil rights for African-Americans, among other causes.

Trying to libel a person as a sexist racist is a pretty serious charge. Libeling someone who has a long track record of fighting harder than anyone for social justice and taking his knocks and being made fun of because of it is just despicable. It is a disgusting tactic and I expect to see more of it because there is no other way to attack him.

[NorthCarolina]

28. Because another poster would immediately ask them "Why?"

[rbnyc]

19. We don't want universal health care...

...because Scandinavians are racist??

That was nuts.

[BrotherIvan]

22. And we don't want equal pay, the best healthcare and reproductive rights for women

guaranteed paid maternity leave for BOTH parents, free college and free childcare because dammit those Scandinavians!

[merrily]

37. You see shitstorm; I see 210 recs.

I haven't seen high rec numbers like that at DU day after day, post after post.

[BrotherIvan]

41. Bernie group threads all over the top of the greatest page

Ya educating fug supporters whatever.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

7. I like it!!

[Maedhros]

9. And there you have it - a candidate with integrity and courage.

No weasel words.

[Enthusiast]

10. Kicked and recommended a whole bunch! Thank you, kpete!

[Cheese Sandwich]

12. This quote should be completed

[kentuck]

13. Furthermore...

He went on to say that America does a lot of things very well but there are some areas where we can learn from others.

"Look, the fact of the matter is, we do a lot in our country, which is good, but we can learn from other countries. "

[Cheese Sandwich]

26. Yes and that's a very important point

A very important part of the quote because when the quote is cut short some people paint it as being a snooty European elitist.

[polichick]

14. This is so heartening - for years I have told friends...

that I wished our country looked more like Scandinavia regarding pro-citizen policies.

Thrilled with Bernie's unapologetic stance!

[Solly Mack]

16. K&R

[progressoid]

18. When Obama was running, someone told me they didn't want a socialist in the White House.

I said, "Obama? A socialist? I wish!"

She was not amused.

[Jester Messiah]

21. I get the feeling Bernie's going to be saying that a lot.

"Yes, and...? What's your point?"

Which is excellent. Make them explain why their little gotchas are supposed to be gotchas. Don't accept the premise of their bullshit.

[redruddyred]

25. when I was 15, my republican birth mother, aka RUSH LIMBAUGHS BIGGEST FANGIRL

tried to sham marry me off to a swede, for the citizenship.
statutory rape concerns aside, I don't think even republicans will take that attack ad v seriously.

[Logical]

27. I so hope he gets to destroy hillary in a debate! Nt

[cantbeserious]

29. Right On Bernie - Right On

eom

[chknltl]

30. Now that's a candidate I can support.

(actually did already but I wanted to say something other than KnR)

[tclambert]

31. What's wrong with that? They're foreigners!

Which means inferior, because . . . America! We must be the best at everything, because . . . America! And also . . . America!

[cantbeserious]

32. Absolutely!

eom

[lordsummerisle]

33. I don't follow all the Bernis threads

so I don't know if this has been discussed, but what about Bernie's age? I believe if he were to win he would be 75, which is even older than Reagan was when he assumed office. Given the enormous pressures on this office and how rapidly Presidents age while serving, is anyone concerned that Bernie might not not even survive one term?

[HooptieWagon]

34. When Bernie was marching for a Civil Rights in 1963

Hillary was a Goldwater Girl. I'll take 75 years of honesty and good judgement.

[MrMickeysMom]

35. Well, now HEY… we're gonna need some smart interviewers from this point, don't you think?

So far, Stephaopoulos fell on his d**k during this brilliant exchange!

[certainot]

38. these 90 universities will be/are opposing bernie

i hope bernie supporters will start monitoring rw radio for him so the swiftboating will not go unanswered.

as long as the billionaires' think tanks can take free potshots at him 24/7 from 1000 radio stations the left cannot honestly say it's "getting bernie's back".

anyone who thinks it won't make a difference is an idiot. and there are students/faculty/employees/communities around 90 major universities that want to support him while their efforts are undone by those same universities. those would be great places to protest for bernie. and without those school mascots to help them sell advertising many of those stations would go broke or have to change format.

until the left stops giving rw radio a free speech free ride guys like bernie won't have a chance. that unchallenged nationally coordinated buzz is the major tool they have used to shift the political spectrum right and turn socialism=bad, conservatism=good. and if he becomes significant they're going to make shit up about him and repeat it and it will become truth to tens of millions of americans.

here they are, with the number of rw radio/limbaugh stations they rent their sports logos to while they sell republican/fascist lies and swiftboating practically for free. most of those stations have been working for the billionaires for 25 years, creating the alternate reality bernie is fighting against.

39. K & R

[rhett o rick]

40. Dear Snuffleupagus, the only category that the USofA leads in, is wealth disparity.

The wealthy (Goldman-Sachs for example) want to keep it that way. The Populist Candidate wants to rebuild America and the 99% to lead the world in the categories other than wealth disparity.
