In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders remains one of Americas most popular politicians [View all]synergie
(1,901 posts)When you're looking at quotations from interviews from publications from the 80's, being this insistent on hyperlinks is kind of a silly thing to do. It was before the publications had online internet archives after all.
So, why do you need a link, when it's pretty plain by your own admission that you're aware that these quotes came from a time period where there are ffew links?
Also, why do you assume the quotes are not real, and why do you immediately assume some sort of false flag operation, when the links you were given have Bernie not contesting he said those things? Is it possible that the quotes are actually accurate and from Bernie, and that they're not accurate at all, but do show what his actual attitude towards the party he's not a part of, but wishes to have power over truly is? That people might be a bit miffed at a guy who actively insults a party that he stated he was just using for money and attention. Perhaps it's not hate, but the natural consequence of the objects of a person's rudeness reacting in the normal fashion towards the guy who was rude?
