He is a national socialist in the mode of Hugo Chávez. He isn’t driven by racial hatred; he’s driven by political hatred. And that’s bad enough. “This is not about me,” Bernie is fond of saying. Instead, he insists, it’s about building a grassroots movement that will be in a permanent state of “political revolution” — his words — against the people he identifies as class enemies: Kochs, Waltons, Republicans, bankers, Wall Street, Them – the numerically inferior Them. His views are totalitarian inasmuch as there is no aspect of life that he believes to be beyond the reach of the state, and they are deeply illiberal inasmuch as he is willing to jettison a great deal of American liberalism — including freedom of speech — if doing so means that he can stifle his enemies’ ability to participate in the political process. He rejects John F. Kennedy’s insistence that “a rising tide lifts all boats” — and he is willing to sink as many boats as is necessary in his crusade against the reality that some people make more money than others.

He's also a warped pervert who famously wrote (in the 1970s, I think?) that women fantasize about being gang-raped (now, of course, he says that was taken out of context).

Just imagine for a SECOND, if a GOP candidate said that.

You "think" is an oxymoron because you're not thinking. Really?

Do you ever back up your insults with evidence? Ever? Just once?

Google it. He wrote it. Sorry if it makes him look like the deranged lunatic that he is, but he wrote it.
