2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The red-baiting of Bernie is getting ridiculous. [View all]JackBeck
(12,359 posts)115. Yes, it was posted this morning.
To be honest, I trashed that group a long time ago, but peek in every now and then for a good laugh.
Do they honestly think that posting in that group or on that other site with very minimal traffic/posts/thread views is going to get HRC elected?

Did you watch the 11 hour Benghazi hearing a few months ago? Vetting means nothing?

Sanders' Soviet-sympathizing kibbutz and Soviet flag in his office in Vermont are FACT.

If you're red baiting you're not a liberal, that's not even up for debate.

I don't care, there are some things you just don't do to smear a Dem candidate.

NOBODY "embodies the entire Democratic electorate", so that's just a made-up excuse. n/t

No, it is not. That's why it is great that he embraces the label and gets others to do so as well.

The GOP loves Israel, remember? They can't attack a kibbutz in Israel because Israel ALLOWED that

Calling us Reds, Hippies, Commies, is outdated. Now it's "extreme Left" and "Fringe".

"Socialist" is one thing, literally. "Kibbutz" is a twofer dog whistle to anti-Semites. Again.
