The Desperation Of Those That Continue To Post 5 Year Old Articles On Bernie's Essay

From More than 45 years ago says everything you need to know to about those who push such a story.

It’s pathetic and even the most staunchest critics of Bernie Sanders debunk this kind of smear attack. And that’s exactly what it was 5 years ago and that’s exactly what it is today. A smear by those who want to keep fighting the 2016 primary.

As Charles C.W. Cooke, a huge critic of Sander’s policies, wrote 5 years ago,

Nobody honestly believes that Bernie Sanders is a sexual pervert or that he is a misogynist or that he intends to do women any harm. Nobody suspects that he harbors a secret desire to pass intrusive legislation or to cut gang rapists a break. Really, there is only one reason that anyone would make hay of this story, and that is to damage the man politically.


Keep reposting this story at your own peril people. He is the DEFINITIVE front runner DESPITE this stuff already being well known and publicized. This shit is old and already vetted.

The people posting this story have one agenda and that is clear. And it has nothing good to do with anyone here, in the betterment of the party or in defeating Trump.

Trump made the "grabber" comment how many years ago now? How many years since the CP5? Do you expect Democrats to let HIM off the hook? I'm certainly not going to repeat the story here or anywhere else, but by the same token; shut up, Trump did worse it or it's old news, isn't going to work as a rebuttal either.

Real life doesn't have an alert button. If you think it's bad now... stand by. There's more to come.
