Bernie Sanders Slams Ben Carson For Anti-Muslim Comments: 'This Is The Year 2015'
"You judge candidates for president not on their religion, not on the color of their skin, but on their ideas, on what they stand for."http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/bernie-sanders-ben-carson-muslim-president_55ff3a2ae4b0fde8b0ceba63?ncid=tweetlnkushpmg00000067
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Sunday condemned neurosurgeon Ben Carson's remarks that a Muslim should not be president.
"You know, this is the year 2015," Sanders told reporters at the opening of his new campaign office in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. "You judge candidates for president not on their religion, not on the color of their skin, but on their ideas, on what they stand for."
He also slammed the GOP presidential hopeful in a series of tweets, citing the prejudice against John F. Kennedy, the first Catholic elected to the White House, and Barack Obama, the first African-American president

It took us too long to overcome the prejudice against electing a Catholic or an African-American president.
