Florida Freep scolds C-SPAN's Swain for not asking Sanders about Marxism
Edited on Wed Jun-15-05 09:47 AM by BurtWorm
Claiming it was unconscionable for her to let the opportunity to demonize Bernie Sanders as a socialist go to waste and calling her uninformed about history. She just said, "Appreciate the criticism," but it looked to me like she was biting her tongue.

I guess it does absolutely no good to point out the irony to idiots like this masturbator that though he claims to believe with all his heart that he loves America more than any liberal ever could, he and his repulsive kind would be the first to shit all over the constitution (assuming they could dis-impact themselves long enough) and force a single standard of "thought" and behavior on the rest of us.

PS: Sanders was on C-SPAN to talk about his efforts to amend the Patriot Act by repealing Section 215, for one thing, and bringing it more in line with the Bill of Rights. Talk about irony!

1. Despicable hypocrites
The right-wing breeds them like, well, sheep.

I love Bernie Sanders. He is more a patriot than this defect of nature could ever hope to be.

4. Brian Lamb or one of the other winger types would have laid into
a Dem who criticized them for going easy on a winger. I don't know what Susan Swain's politics are. She's more successful at keeping them behind the curtain. Probably means she's a Democrat.

3. These types, simply, need to go...
These types of people are why candidates like Bush, even get to square one to begin with.

You see, if we were to get rid of these types of people and let them live out in Africa, we would no longer have any impossibly outrageous or stupid administrations.

I once had a thought...If they think America sucks, leave it behind and go overseas! :D Africa and Haiti are great countries for instance. If they don't want to leave on their own, which most likely....They will want to...Then simply deport them out of the country. :crazy:

It seems like the only way fundamentalism will stop..

5. I heard that this morning...
What a kook. He also slammed them for not talking about the Ds John Kerry got as a freshman. All the Repug calls this morning were by people of clearly limited intelligence, and some of them were just downright bizarre. It proves they have very little of substance to argue on their side, so they resort to calling people Marxists. What troglodytes!

:freak:

11. Sanders is no Marxist. He's a centrist sociali-democrat.
He's pretty Blairite in his thinking. He supporting the US aggression against Yugoslavia in 1999, believing the US aggression can defend "human rights" through bombs and guns. He's no Marxist--if he were, he'd probably have an even better record.

12. What's wrong w/ socialism? A very personal request BurtWorm
..but even if it's just to promote better understanding amongst ourselves, do not title something Marxism and then use the word socialism or socialist interchangably for it the remainder of the time.
I'm not being snippy, promise! :P I won't even go into detail. Simply Marxism and it's implemented hierachal form Communism are a failed gov't, true Socialism has never been attempted before....

nice masturbator analogy btw :thumbsup:

13. I don't think there's anything inherently "wrong" per se with Marxism
either, as a form of historical or economic analysis. I was trying to be faithful to what the caller said, which was that the host should have questioned Sanders about "Marxism" (and should have talked about Martin Luther King's affairs when his name came up :eyes: ), and should have questioned him about why he's a socialist when socialism doesn't work. This is what the idiot said.
