5. I don't think very many people still give a rat's ass about "Eek he's a socialist/communist"

it's just such an old tired worn-out meme that it's laughable, esp. the "communist" thing.

Perhaps I'm being naive about this, but the way Bernie has taken this head-on, even spending
an entire evening speech at Georgetown Univ. explaining in great detail what he means by
"democratic socialist".

I'm not too worried about this particular piece. It's actually kind of humorous to me, being so
'over the top' like an Onion article.

13. Expect the same talking points to be recycled by more subtle propagandists

This is obviously aimed at the Fox Noise audience. I don't doubt that the media will try to fool smarter people as well.

These troglodytes are living in the 1950s when there was a commie lurking under every bed.

14. LOL! Well, at least they've dumped all the "communist fronts" into one hit piece! If Bernie Sanders

was s Communist, I highly doubt he'd be sitting in the United States Congress for 25 and I highly doubt Vermonters would have voted to send him there.

At least Bernie now knows what to expect during the GE...only worse. I wouldn't be surprised if David Brock wrote this and sent it to the WP. SERIOUSLY. This is right up Brock's alley.
It's something Brock would do...especially now when HRH is doing so badly.

This is a really stupid hit piece. It's poorly written and untrue.

It's a good thing Bernie supporters KNOW Bernie already. This kind of RW garbage isn't going to work against Bernie. He'll respond immediately and it'll be over. They can't Swift boat him.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
