Here's a Bernie story Trump will be talking about in October ...

[Alhena]

while a real Democrat- Jimmy Carter - was dealing with the Iran Hostage Crisis, Bernie was an elector for a party that praised the taking of the hostages:

1. As much as I do not care for Sanders, this story is false

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bernie-sanders-iran-hostage-crisis/

[Alhena]

3. Every word I wrote was true, under your own link

he was an elector for a party that praised the taking of the hostages. What is incorrect in that statement?

[still_one]

6. Excuse me, the link you provided has this headline, which is false

"When Iran Took Americans Hostage, Bernie Backed Iran’s Defenders"

You are conveniently taking things out of context, and parsing your words very carefully to make it appear that your words are equivalent to the headline in the link, which they are not

[Alhena]

7. Huh? It is 100% accurate

On what planet is serving as an ELECTOR for a party that praised the taking of the hostages not "backing Iran's defenders"? The Socialist Workers Party (the most radical of the socialist parties at the time) defended the taking of the hostages. During that same time, Bernie said "THAT's the party I want to serve as an elector for." Therefore, Bernie did, in fact, back Iran's defenders.

I'm not going to go into this any more with you- if you can't understand what I wrote above then anything else I write won't convince you.

8. I will let people read the complete Snopes Analysis and decide for themselves, and why Snopes

rated it as FALSE

One thing I won't argue with you on, if Sanders is the nominee, this and other issues where there is no ambiguity will definitely be used against him

There won't be a question of what is fair or not fair, and it won't matter whether you or I agree on its interpretation, it will be a disaster for Sanders if he is the nominee, and the Democratic party

2. I'm glad he wasn't a Republican.

4. Reminds me of Jane Fonda. I think she deserves Freedom Medal. But she would not

take one state running for Prez because of her Vietnam stance. Same here.

[Cha]

5. Let's hope it doesn't get to that.

[still_one]

9. If he is the nominee, count on it, and other issues where there won't be ambiguity on his positions

our questionable past

[Cha]

11. yeah.. that's the part I was hoping

not to get to.

[denem]

12. October? The whole RNC convention will be devoted to framing Sanders

as 'Comrade Bernie', the communist.

[still_one]

13. and if he cannot give an adequate response, then it will be a disaster

[denem]

14. If the general election becomes a referendum on socialism

rather than trump, all is lost.

15. No doubt
