I watched the film Serpico the other night

[UglyGreed]

and found it funny how money corrupts but those who take the money or benefit from the corruption sees no problems with it at all. It is just a part of the game so they say. Bernie does not take money just like Frank Serpico did not. Both men were/are slandered and ridiculed, Serpico took a bullet for being honest and straight forward. This may be a stretch to compare the two but I could not help but see the similarities and how some things never change.

1. even more apt,

Hillary is exactly like the dirty cops. Dishonest, yet not caring, or not even understanding her own wrongdoing.

2. The cops did not

feel the money changed the way they performed their jobs, just some extra cash.

6. and the hillarians here keep telling us the same thing

3. Recommended.

Great movie (and book). Good call.

4. Alas, much of life is this way.

Serpico is lucky to be alive. ( So, probably, is Bernie, for that matter.)

It extends to all fields of human activity. People blow the whistle; the system comes down on them HARD. REAL hard.

Too many people with their fingers in the till.

5. Bernie as a fellow lamplighter. I like it.

Great analogy.

[Carlo Marx]

7. I also recently watched this movie and consider it the perfect analogy to the campaign.

The degree to which the Democratic Party has savaged Sanders parallels the Serpico story. I've thought the campaign should use the comparison.
