Corporate Media constantly repeating Trump's lie about Sanders


being a communist. He is not. On MSNBC, they either show his attack ad (free of charge), his talking to a crowd (including the lie that Bernie wants to tax the American people at 90%), or just a Trump sound bite as part of a series of clips before a show starts (which is what just happened a few minutes ago). It is three days later and they are still constantly repeating the lies.

My god there are a whole lotta really stupid people in this country.

I hear that word constantly on the rightwing board I play on, and the sad truth is these idiots believe that Bernie is a commie but they also think Hillary is.

Brain dead and full of hate.

that is what the corporate agenda is to dismiss him as a communist (he has served in the Senate for years and years I highly doubt they would allow a communist in the halls of Congress) so that he is not elected because he is after their corrupt greed and fraud of the American people.

I spoke to a wing-nut aunt the other day about Obamacare issues I was having. She said Trump and the GOP would overturn it. I said well if we get Sanders, we can fight for universal healthcare. She says in return that Sanders is a commie.

I laughed. Of course she is pushing 80 and never votes anymore but I found it amusing in an appalling sort of way.

Give an old Fred Sanders that much free airtime for Fred Sanders and all his many well-paid propaganda-savvy surrogates, and Fred Sanders would be leading in the polls!

when he only had 7 people at his headquarters. With the help of the media, he does not need a big staff. But she was simply AMAZED.
