Memo to Bernie Sanders supporters

[MADem]

81. Goodman is a "liberal Dem" who supports Rand Paul for the Presidency. He wrote an article declaring

this--that link is the SECOND LINK in the OP. He's a "liberal Dem" like I'm the Emperor of Massachusetts!

He's a lying fronter looking for an AUDIENCE of "liberal Dems" IMO, and playing the wedge game to Divide and Conquer. It's absolutely in his interest, assuming he can find some way to make Squirrelhead win the GOP nomination, to have Sanders as an opponent instead of Clinton. If he can't make that happen, his hope is to damage Clinton with themes that disappointed Sanders acolytes will take with them when they wander off to support Jill Stein, or join Team Rand if they're not too politically astute in the first place.

Dandy Randy has sufficient intersection with Sanders to be "better" (cough/choke) than him on some key (often isolationist) issues. This guy thinks that by FUDding the people who have convergence on issues that Paul and Sanders share, that he can break off the Sanders supporters for his guy. He's sowing seeds here. Not even subtly.

That link has this headline, specifically: I'm a Liberal Democrat. I'm Voting for Rand Paul in 2016. Here Is Why.

Rand Paul is my candidate in 2016, even though the Tea Party would consider me Joseph Stalin's love child. I'm for immigration reform and believe that illegal immigrants benefit this country. I've written many articles criticizing Tea Party paranoia. I'm against demagoguery from people like Paul Ryan who unfairly target inner city citizens and I'm for the federal legalization of gay marriage and marijuana. I think Ted Cruz is a buffoon and that we should listen to Stephen Hawking over Senator "Green Eggs and Ham" on climate change. Finally, I've also written two novels about the evils of religious fundamentalism and political demagoguery.

....I've never voted for a Republican in my life, but in 2016, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul will be my choice for president. On issues that affect the long-term survival of this country; grandiose concerns like perpetual war that could send generations of Americans fighting and dying in the Middle East, domestic spying that could eventually lead to a police state, and numerous other topics, Rand Paul has shown that he bucks both the Republican and Democratic penchant for succumbing to public opinion, an overreaction to the terror threat, and a gross indifference to an egregious assault on our rights as citizens.

Who in hell--save libertarians and Republicans--even USES the loaded and debasing term "illegal immigrants" anymore? Certainly not "liberal democrats." That's a dog whistle. Undocumented workers, or undocumented immigrants is the appropriate term, as people are not, in and of themselves, "illegal."

And WTF is wrong with "succumbing to public opinion?" Marriage equality wouldn't be the law of the land if the Supremes didn't "succumb" to public opinion. Why is this assclown making "public opinion" a BAD thing? He wants the Squirrel on Rand Paul's head to make the decisions, and ignore the wishes of the American people?

This guy is a TOOL. If you take the time to look, you see he's a crudely-fashioned blunt instrument, at that. He's not even clever enough to be too clever by half.

You've got to consider the source, realize that this guy put it all out there, and take bullshit propaganda/FUD like this with a grain of salt. This guy has a stated agenda. It looks, pardon the expression, "squirrelly" to be associated with it in any way.
