I was hoping MSNBC’s Chris Matthews calling Bernie Sanders a
communist would be as bad as he would get during this election cycle. He and others are clearly frightened to death
of Sanders becoming president. Would Matthews
tone down his crazy assholery after Sanders won his third out of the first three
primary contests? Is Donald Chrump a
very stable genius?
Just stop it Chris. Please.
After Sanders’ convincing landslide victory in Nevada,
Matthews decided to change tactics. It did
not get better. It did not go well. With a sickly grin on his face, Matthews
compared Sanders’ victory to the Nazi invasion of France in 1940. For someone who has been around politics as
long as Matthews and his Mouth-That-Never-Closes, he
should, and probably does, know that Sanders is Jewish. Matthews might also want to come up with a
different analogy since Sanders’ father lost almost his entire family to the
Nazis during the Holocaust. I have seen
no evidence that Matthews is anti-Semitic, which makes his latest bullshit all
the more idiotic. One would not think it
humanly possible to have both feet in one’s mouth while simultaneously having
one’s head so far up one’s ass, but Matthews has been perfecting this move for
many years.
Apparently, this cannot be repeated often enough for
Matthews and company: Bernie Sanders is not the one sharing state secrets with
the Russians. Bernie is not the one taking
the word of Vladimir Putin over that of our entire intelligence community. Bernie is not the one who conspired with
Russia in 2016, and he is not the one inviting help from Russia to win the
presidency in 2020. That is Donald
Chrump.
Bernie Sanders honeymooned in Moscow in 1988 – not a great
move, but more than 30 years ago. Donald
Chrump, dying to have a building with his name on it in Moscow, is in the
process of eloping with Vladimir Putin right now. If Matthews,
et al prefer the neo-fascist stylings of Donald Chrump to the of-by-and-for-the-people
politics of Bernie Sanders, maybe they need to look in the mirror, then look at
the Constitution, and then look at all the socialist-like (if not outright
socialist) programs that Americans in all 50 states (and territories) love.
Signs of the times. Not signs of intelligent
life on Earth.
Chris Matthews is not the only Democrat calling Sanders a
communist. I understand that Bernie
makes some old-school Dems uncomfortable, but tarring him with the same commie
label as Chrump and Republican’ts use is not helpful. Nor is it honest. Nor is it intelligent. Chrump is going to call any Democratic opponent
a radical, leftist, socialist. He’s been
doing this all along.
For Matthews, long-time conserva-Dem James Carville and
other right-of-center Democrats, they better think this through very soon. Even if Sanders was a communist, would you
rather have a communist who sees Russia as an adversary and Putin as a thuggish
dictator, or keep the impeached-though-not-convicted-by-reason-of-Republican’t-insanity,
racist, psychotic, pathological liar of a quasi-dictator who prefers con men to
the Constitution, who is working feverishly with foreign entities, including our
adversaries to steal his second election, and who has already brought immeasurable
disgrace and destruction upon our nation?
Wake up and smell the fucking covfefe boys.
But Bernie Sanders is not a communist. He is someone who believes, and always has
believed, in helping people from the bottom up, not from the top down. It is time for some trickle-up
economics.
One of these things is
not like anything else
I. Mangrey reporting.
It’s a pre-existing condition.
