Michael Bloomberg says Elizabeth Warren wants to bring back the Soviet Union

Can't anyone tell this guy he's not relevant anymore?

--

Bloomberg is apparently not done with attacking the 99 percent. He has launched a new Super PAC to boost candidates who share his plutocratic vision for America. In an interview with the New York Times, Bloomberg threw his support to embattled incumbent Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) while absurdly invoking the Soviet Union to blast his bold progressive challenger Elizabeth Warren:

In the Senate, Scott Brown, who single-handedly stopped the right-to-carry bill. You can question whether he’s too conservative. You can question, in my mind, whether she’s God’s gift to regulation, close the banks and get rid of corporate profits, and we’d all bring socialism back, or the U.S.S.R.

Oppressive police. No selling large-size soft drinks. No smoking in public places, even outdoors. Bloomberg is hardly the one to be complaining about government regulations.

This from the guy who pushed a law that told people what they can and cannot eat and drink. With all the things Micheal Bloomberg has done in New York City he is one of the last people who should claim another person is trying to bring back socialism. How many rights has Bloomberg trampled?
