Re: Communists are so cute when they are small
If you're going to judge Senator Sanders by the statements allegedly made (assuming O'Keefe didn't invent the whole thing, as he's demonstrated he's perfectly capable of doing) by some low-level campaign worker, it seems only fair to judge Donny by the company he keeps. How many criminal convictions so far? --Bob

Re: Communists are so cute when they are small
I throw that back at you, bobby. If you are judging trump by all these alleged associations he's had, it seems only fair to judge sanders by his supporters, don't you think? Do you want to put all "deplorables" in a gulag? Your logic is impeccable.Bob78164 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2020 4:02 amIf you're going to judge Senator Sanders by the statements allegedly made (assuming O'Keefe didn't invent the whole thing, as he's demonstrated he's perfectly capable of doing) by some low-level campaign worker, it seems only fair to judge Donny by the company he keeps.

Pretty much all of them. When you start taking wealth from those who have earned it and give it to those who haven't, as Thatcher put it, sooner or later you run out of other people's money.

Venezuela was once the most wealthy country in South America. It has an abundance of natural resources. Then they elected a charismatic socialist, Hugo Chavez, who, like Bernie, promised a utopia on earth. Look where they are now, BJ. They are pretty much a dictatorship under Nicky Maduro. That's what Bernie wants. Bernie has more ties to Russia, (or should I say the USSR) than trump could ever hope for.

Re: Communists are so cute when they are small
Well, the other Westernized countries in the world have been doing this for decades and haven't run out of money yet. and "pretty much all of it" isn't a specific answer. You just like to make grandiose claims about what Bernie or any of the Democrats want to do without examining the specifics. That way you can just call him a socialist and end the discussion.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 1:54 pmWhen you start taking wealth from those who have earned it and give it to those who haven't, as Thatcher put it, sooner or later you run out of other people's money.

Re: Communists are so cute when they are small
And you have yet to mention one specific policy of Bernie Sanders' that you consider socialistic. "Pretty much all of them" is not an answer; it's a copout. Just labelling Sanders a socialist or communist so you can compare him with Chavez is a copout as well.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 11:34 pmThe world better sit up and take notice that you consider Chavez and Maduro full blown communists.
For the record, I'm not a Sanders supporter either. But that seems to be the stock Republican answer when they don't want to discuss the specifics of Democratic legislation (which on issue after issue, substantial majorities of the American public support). They just copout by shouting socialist or Communist about Sanders, Warren, or anyone else they don't like.

Re: Communists are so cute when they are small
And we got a second Bernie staffer praising the Gulags. But, by all means, make this about Project Veritas because they got the guy talking.
https://twitter.com/JamesOKeefeIII/stat ... 0768250880
Martin Weissgerber is a Bernie staffer in South Carolina who can't wait to send Republicans to the Gulag and to guillotine the rich.
Most interesting to me is his praise of the Belomorkanal, which was a canal dug from the White Sea to Leningrad. AKA, the White Sea/Baltic Canal.
Fortuitously, that is the section I am currently reading in Gulag Archipelago.
Weissgerber notes that it was dug by hand like that was a good thing. He obviously discounts the horrors of digging a canal by hand through 2 arctic winters.
"Belomorkanal" should be as infamous as Auschwitz and it is a shame that it is not.
Supposedly, he spent a semester studying primary sources about the canal. I noted with interest that he cites an account written by a thief who praised the system after his release.
Well, I doubt how much reading into the Gulags he has actually done. Gulag survivors note (even outside of Solzhenitsyn) that those sentenced as thieves ganged up together and got each other the best jobs and rations.
And just to pick a nit-He said "Belomorkanal" was the first Gulag. I would disagree. I previously mentioned "Solovki" which was the genesis of the Gu;ag system and started earlier than the canal.

Re: Communists are so cute when they are small
Hillary Clinton in Full: A Fiery New Documentary, Trump Regrets and Harsh Words for Bernie: "Nobody Likes Him"
Clinton has lashed out at her enemies before, but up to now they've been Republicans.
Pull quote >>> He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It's all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it. <<<
That means Sanders is the Ted Cruz of the left.

Oh ,and to continue with the theme of how cute communists are when they are small. Weissgerber goes on and on about how ready he is for the Revolution. In his words, he is ready to LEARN to shoot.
That made me laugh.
If he gets his version of the Russian Revolution with attached Civil War-Whites VS Reds-Most of the guys on the White team already know how to shoot.

Re: Communists are so cute when they are small
Here's a typical Donald Trump supporter. So, what's your point. That Veritas could find a couple of wacko Bernie-ites? And from what I heard of the conversation with Weissberger, it appears that the "journalist" was coaxing him on the whole way (and note that both he and Jurek were filmed in bars).
So, your argument here is confusing. Is Bernie Sanders the real face of the Democratic party (leaving aside the fact that he's not a Democrat) or are Democrats cruel because they won't play nice with Bernie?

Re: Communists are so cute when they are small
You repeated the "Bernie is not a Democrat" thing like BobJ. Forgetting Veritas stuff, you apparently disregard that Bernie is RUNNING AS A DEMOCRAT. Why could that be...oh I dunno.silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 6:46 pm

Clinton has lashed out at her enemies before, but up to now they've been Republicans.
Pull quote >>> He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It's all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it. <<<
That means Sanders is the Ted Cruz of the left.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
