consider absolutely anything that is even a wee bit critical of your candidate, to be right wing, I see your admonishment as quite humerous. I have been informed by Hillary devotees that John Cassidy of The New Yorker, Doyle McManus of the L.A. Times, Zephyr Teachout, former N.Y. State candidate for governor, and many more liberals are right wing or that they're spewing right wing tropes for nefarious reasons.

It's like the little boy who cried wolf. Of course there are lots of actual wingnuts and Klein is a particularly virulent piece of crap, but the conflation of criticism of Hillary from the left with right wing bullshit, has made your indignation look a trifle contrived.

Don't they call that a straw man? zeemike Aug 2015 #31

Yes. Garrett78 Aug 2015 #55

Agreed, but in regard to Ed Klein, what is your view of his assessment? Do you really think Bernie still_one Aug 2015 #33

I don't - he has been extremely clear that he would not do so karynnj Aug 2015 #36

So you think Bernie running as a third party is true? leftofcool Aug 2015 #24

Sort of yes. As a Democrat LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #27

But that is not what Klein said leftofcool Aug 2015 #28

Sanders has stated he has no interest in running as an Independent LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #29

and that this was initially posted as LBN, which finally did get locked, just makes one wonder why still_one Aug 2015 #30

It was locked in LBN for not meeting that forum's MineralMan Aug 2015 #40

I agree, but the fact is that it was posted in LBN speaks volumes, since there is a fair number of still_one Aug 2015 #46
