Is this all they got????

I keep hearing all this stuff about:

Sanders didn't say anything about X.... he must be out of touch/ hate / not care about X Y and Z!"

"Sanders didn't say he liked my shoes! He must hate the shoe manufacturing industry!" "Sanders didn't address the rain we had this week! He must want our crops to fail!" "Sanders didn't say anything about the drawing my 4 year old did! He must hate toddlers!" Sheesh!

Is that it? (and it's usually not even true.... like with the Ferguson mess)


That and the RW false meme that he doesn't care about blacks..... a GOP talking point we see here WAY TOO OFTEN.

OH...and he's a JEW too apparently.

Sheesh! That's all they got?

My question is why doesn't they're front-running candidate simply hold a massive rally and shut us all up? Why doesn't she simply show us via the sheer power of her gigantic lead, the energy behind her campaign, by holding an event or 3 the size we cannot rebut.

seriously, no details at all. These people are right-wing hacks attacking a white socialist Jew. Same old, same old.

They were calling him that when his candidacy was mere speculation.

Because they can't argue any of his policies because he's spot on on ALL of them and they know it. And they know, whether they admit it or not, their candidate is wrong on almost all of them.

She supports TPP
XL pipeline
Fracking (ffs)
Corporations
Wall St.
Patriot Act
And the worst of all...she voted for the Iraq War

How can any Liberal support any of that? How can they defend it? They can't, so Bernie is their target. They will nitpick until the cows come home.

One of the most recent things they've done is support Louis Farrakhan on this forum...just to undermine Bernie. Pretty damn disgusting supporting one of the most vile anti-Semitic assholes walking the planet. And it's been allowed.

the dialog.

The focus on what he didn't say is a way to avoid dealing with what he DID say.

called accusations. But when out and out lies are said about Bernie, his supporters are told they are white supremacists for trying to straighten out the record with some truths.
