Bernie sums up Diane Rehm's idiocy perfectly in this quote.

[RandySF]

Sanders: I honestly don’t know but I have read that on the internet. You know, my dad came to this country from Poland at the age of 17 without a nickel in his pocket. He loved this country. I am, you know, I got offended a little bit by that comment, and I know it’s been on the internet. I am obviously an American citizen and I do not have any dual citizenship.

1. kick

2. This incident is reminiscent of people saying Obama was born in Kenya

Except this time its coming from someone ostensibly on the left (or at least the center-left).

3. I'm glad he said he was offended...

I haven't listened to NPR in at least 4years...they pissed me off so bad.

This idiot show host would be another reason never to donate or listen again.

4. NPR Fox

6. I'm surprised Diane Rehm fell for this

I hear her show when I'm home in Dallas. She comes across as better prepared than that.

The difference between her and FOX is that she acknowledged her mistake, and explained what she did wrong:

from the salon article:

"On today’s show I made a mistake. Rather than asking Senator and Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders whether he had dual U.S./Israeli citizenship, as I had read in a comment on Facebook, I stated it as fact. He corrected me, saying he did not know where the question came from. I apologized immediately,” Rehm said. “I want to apologize as well to all our listeners for having made an erroneous statement. I am sorry for the mistake......."


That alone tells you that you are not listening to FOX.

8. I would lay money on the idea

that party officials put her up to it.

[DFW]

9. That's not a bet I would take

Party officials have other things to than subvert an NPR radio show. Karl Rove, Roger Ailes and Frank Luntz work for the other side, not us.

7. A perfect example of why he will be our next president

in a few words he can explain the situation no matter what it is so people can fully understand and know exactly where we stand, both as individuals and as a country.

The Bern all the way to the white house ------>
