Highlight:

The POLITICO photo of Bernie Sanders was not anti-semitic [View all] Vidal May 2019 OP

Oh please dsc May 2019 #1

So Democrats shouldn't learn about a candidate's finances Hortensis May 2019 #11

I didn't say the article was anti Semitic but that the photo was dsc May 2019 #12

We can't control Politico, but we know and should do better. Hortensis May 2019 #14

He isn't the only one who had an upward trajectory in terms of money dsc May 2019 #19

He's the one who's built a following by inveighing Hortensis May 2019 #25

I didn't say one couldn't oppose Booker without being a racist dsc May 2019 #68

Of course you didn't. That's actually the point. :) Hortensis May 2019 #92

BS is the only millionaire socialist in the race. That's what the Politico story is about. lapucelle May 2019 #27

Right. A typical college-educated, very well paid socialist who Hortensis May 2019 #45

Politico leans Right.. whathehell May 2019 #104

No it doesn't. lapucelle May 2019 #109

According to one source. Many think otherwise whathehell May 2019 #119

Good point Vidal May 2019 #120

Thanks.. whathehell May 2019 #121

"Many think otherwise"? Who, exactly? lapucelle May 2019 #122

Nobody gives 2 shits about his upward trajectory in terms of money. Amimnoch May 2019 #41

well said highmindedhavi May 2019 #60

He is however, the only one pretending otherwise. LanternWaste May 2019 #111

"a modest money tree " melman May 2019 #37

IKR? LOL charlyvi May 2019 #65

It can only be anti Semitic if you know Bernie is Jewish. That is an important ingredient. wasupaloopa May 2019 #17

the magazine is called politico dsc May 2019 #18

If you looked at the picture not knowing Bernie was Jewish you would not think it wasupaloopa May 2019 #23

but they and we know he is dsc May 2019 #24

None of the other candidates centered their campaign, their career attacking millionaires and FreeBe May 2019 #43

so if a piece of NAZI propaganda were to be posted in its original German dsc May 2019 #69

Then why are repeating the unsupported trope that 2+222? LanternWaste May 2019 #112

The article was about BS's millions. There's nothing wrong with the picture. lapucelle May 2019 #26

Complete bullshit comparison. Amimnoch May 2019 #99

Clarity with your two examples of Booker and Buttigieg. Thanks. FreeBe May 2019 #100

That wasn't the original image ZeroSomeBrains May 2019 #2

The original image of what? lapucelle May 2019 #28

Youmean the tweet they took down and yeah I read the garbage ZeroSomeBrains May 2019 #44

Oh bullshit. Voltaire2 May 2019 #3

BULLSHIT RandiFan1290 May 2019 #4

No it isn't. The story is about how the self-identifying social became a millionaire. lapucelle May 2019 #30

"Cortez" melman May 2019 #39

politico knows sanders is jewish. did you not know? Kurt V. May 2019 #5

People seem to really enjoy this antisemitic piece. Autumn May 2019 #6

Of course it was not. Gallop says 93% would vote for a Jew. Hortensis May 2019 #7

As a Jewish Democrat, I agree with the OP Gothmog May 2019 #8

As another one, same. robbedvoter May 2019 #13

I still remember all of the fuss when sandes spoke to Liberty U on a high holy day Gothmog May 2019 #29

That's the Bernie standard BannonsLiver May 2019 #64

Anti-Semitic AF MaryMagdaline May 2019 #9

You're wrong. aidbo May 2019 #10

You're right. JudyM May 2019 #47

Agree with RobbedVoter Vidal May 2019 #15

One doesn't have to be part of the maligned group to call.. aidbo May 2019 #61

Yes, he rallied to zentrum May 2019 #16

The real issue with Bernie Vidal May 2019 #21

An "issue" to the ill informed only.. whathehell May 2019 #105

If he's fighting zentrum May 2019 #115

There are legitimate questions Vidal May 2019 #116

Here is the thing. It is not a big deal for him, nor is it for any of our Democratic Leaders. FreeBe May 2019 #117

He didn't make it zentrum May 2019 #118

the money tree is such a classic antisemitic image, I disagree strongly on that score... hlthe2b May 2019 #20

I've never seen it as one before. Igel May 2019 #86

Anti Defamation League (ADL) agrees it was anti-semitic. That's good enough for me. hlthe2b May 2019 #91

"such as those about Jews and wealth." FreeBe May 2019 #101

That is NOT what is being said at all. Here's an example of what Republicans used in last election hlthe2b May 2019 #103

You find RW bigotry, post it and accuse me of supporting it. FreeBe May 2019 #106

the money imagery--one of history's most well known antisemitic tropes are the SAME hlthe2b May 2019 #107

Is there more to ADL statement than the tweet because I am not seeing aghast. FreeBe May 2019 #114

I don't see it. Unless it said, "Bernie Sanders, who is Jewish", it seems OregonBlue May 2019 #22

Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren have more money Eric J in MN May 2019 #31

Are you sure about your first statement? SouthernProgressive May 2019 #36

The article you linked to Eric J in MN May 2019 #38

That statement is in the original link. SouthernProgressive May 2019 #40

They aren't hypocrites about it. BS is. Amimnoch May 2019 #42

I don't think Political is our friend anymore. aikoaiko May 2019 #32

The media isn't supposed to be anyone's friend. BannonsLiver May 2019 #52

would there be a stink about this if another person was pictured instead of bernie, say trump? nt msongs May 2019 #33

The images were not needed for the article. SouthernProgressive May 2019 #34

I am female. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #48

Excellent analogy. Point on. FreeBe May 2019 #49

Your argument works with the house image. SouthernProgressive May 2019 #50

Money does not grow on trees. For some, I think was the point. FreeBe May 2019 #51

You spell it out very clearly. SouthernProgressive May 2019 #59

No. Your "husband" image doesn't belong in my scenario. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #56

Interesting analogy Vidal May 2019 #66

Jewish Journal recommends and links to the story on its "Best of the Web" tab. lapucelle May 2019 #35

Fascinating Vidal May 2019 #55

Of course it wasn't. You'd have to be looking for a way to attack the article, to think that. nt Honeycombe8 May 2019 #46

I don't think the pic is Antisemitic Mosby May 2019 #53

If making over $200,000 and paying only 13.4% in taxes is scraping by. FreeBe May 2019 #54

The houses pic vs the money tree Honeycombe8 May 2019 #89

Money does not grow on trees, is what I got from the money tree. FreeBe May 2019 #102

Fair enough. What does that have to do with the article, though? Honeycombe8 May 2019 #108

Campaign of 2016 had money growing on trees for Sanders. FreeBe May 2019 #113
