I know you're a diehard supporter of O'Malley, and rightfully so. He's a good candidate. But he said something about Bernie that I took issue with, and I was wondering what your opinion of it is. It came from this article...

http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/omalley-unloads-clintons-911-comments

...and here's the quote.

And it wasn’t just Clinton whom O’Malley targeted. “I don’t believe we need to scrap capitalism and replace it with socialism, as Sen. Sanders thinks,” he said of Sanders.


To put this in context, O'Malley was offering his 'critiques' of the other candidates and had just finished talking about Hillary when he turned to Bernie. I thought he was a bit disingenuous here. What do you think?

We all know, and he *certainly* knows, that's not Bernie's agenda. Democratic socialism is not capital 'S' socialism. I'm disappointed that O'Malley would mislead people like that.
