This may be a dupe, and I apologize if it is, because it is a few days old now. My teenage son said it's all over his facebook page right now, so I thought I'd share. HILLARIOUS!!!

She was expecting criticism of Bernie - and the guy tells her he just made the largest permissible contribution to BERNIE - and then proceeds to tell her exactly why he does not support Hillary or Trump. She kept trying to interrupt and he was having none of that.

Bravo! The right wing party that is in place to trumpet and bolster Capitalism, is finally facing enough Americans who are suffering, that they can't discredit Socialism any longer. The inhumane practice of capitalism is unmasked for almost all of the voters to see.

It's simple- there are many many more employees than employers. DONE. That is the problem.

So instead of blasting how horrible Socialism is, what we are doing now is voting for a candidate who will evolve the system by transforming the workplace.

That bimbo was unprepared, basically because "she didn't know that she didn't know". She thought she'd knock a slow-pitched softball out of the park and instead got her face smashed in by a fastball.

All she though she had to do was throw out the "Soshulist" canard ( and notice how she pauses briefly and the orates the word with vigor ) and let the guest stammer in trying to defend it.

She was utterly surprised at how the guest articulated that socialism is is not some monolithic term, and that her "yeah buts" were desperate sounding.

from historical, academic and modern terms, she interjected with "without getting bogged down in details..."

Apparently she doesn't think her audience can handle an reasonable, thoughtful discussion. "Socialism" was supposed to only be discussed in dog whistle terms, not in actual reality...jeez.

Yes, its a dupe, its been posted a couple times.
But I've seen the whole interview and other than her expressing surprise that he is a Sanders supporter, its a stock interview of 3-4 minutes. She continued on after the "shocking" admission that he was for bernie and asked other questions.
But the REAL story was his takedown of HRC. He pulled NO punches and really blasted her pretty bad. THATS the impressive part here.

"Naw he said Bernie is a Socialist,he said it"
He was asked FDR Social Security and he said its different. "Its not coming out of the General Accounting"
Chris Mathews is slamming Bernie Sanders her. Watch both videos and tell me there is a real difference?

They were hoping for a Hillary-style red scare but they -- and their audience -- got an education in democratic socialism and an advertisement for Bernie instead.

You'd think they'd know anyone from an organization called The Human Rights Foundation wouldn't be their type. A few times she tried to interrupt him when he ventured into "problematic" territory like "looting the country" or the Republican front runner. He noted how Hillary took millions and millions of dollars from many dictatorships that severely restrict human rights.

He was also fully ready for Fox, as evidenced in his speed-talking to get in as much information as possible before she cut him off. Smart man.

I'll bet Thor Halvorssen will never be invited back to Faux.
