is to point out that when REPUBLICANS call him a "Communist Jew," we can point out that, no, he's just another socialist jew. Not that Sanders is in the same mythical divine level as their god, of course, but still. He's not proposing anything that they shouldn't be advocating for as well.
When it's done by Democrats, it's a matter of pulling their bigotry, hatred, and hypocrisy out of their disingenuous closet.

We seem to forget that when it comes to the general election, the independents in the swing states are the ones to pick the winner. I don't think calling Bernie a Communist Jew will work any better than calling Obama a Kenyan Communist Muslim. It appeals to their xenophobic base and that's about all.
