Bernie Sanders
In reply to the discussion: Charles Pierce: Sanders Said Something We Weren't Ready to Hear Last Night [View all]Kalidurga
(14,177 posts)27. This is probably one of the worst shit head things Hillary has said.
And I just want to add one thing to the question you were asking Senator Sanders. I think in that same interview, he praised what he called the revolution of values in Cuba and talked about how people were working for the common good, not for themselves. I just couldn't disagree more. You know, if the values are that you oppress people, you disappear people, you imprison people or even kill people for expressing their opinions, for expressing freedom of speech, that is not the kind of revolution of values that I ever want to see anywhere.
So, she is saying right after Sanders talks about people working for the common good she disagrees with that a whole lot. Then she says that the values he is holding up are oppressing and disappearing people. It is not wrong to acknowledge that some good was done. It's not wrong to say that murdering people and disappearing them is wrong. That we should encourage freedom of speech. But, she is conflating to extremely different things to paint Bernie as a supporter of brutal methods of controlling people.

She's made it clear multiple times that she stands by Kissinger. It doesn't reflect well on her.

Imperialism is an unbecoming bad agenda. Bernie merely pointed that out.
