For those who missed it, Bernie Sanders kicked serious ass this morning

[Elwood P Dowd]

on C-SPAN's Washington Journal. It was especially fun listening to him straighten out the lady who called him a communist and then complained about him pushing class warfare.

1. I'm sorry I missed it-Sanders is such a good commentator on things happening

to his constituents.they are SO lucky to have him....

[Elwood P Dowd]

2. Watch the video at the link.

One of the best WJ segments in recent memory.

10. I couldn't agree more. Simply one of the best WJ segments ever.

If all the right wingers would watch this video (and really pay attention) it would have to open their eyes to how badly the republicans are ruining this country. Maybe.

Thanks for posting that link Elwood.

11. If this thing falls, I will keep it kicked a few more hours.

Everyone needs to see this. Bernie, unlike our so called "Democrats" in Congress, knows how to explain this shit. Obama needs to watch this. Thom Hartmann needs to play some of this on his show tomorrow.

13. I would have liked to hear Cathy's response to Bernie's statement

about class warfare. He really was on a roll. (starting at the 26:35 mark)

[Elwood P Dowd]

14. Brainwashed repukes have no response to facts.

All they know is the talking points they pick up from Fox and Limpballs. Once you destroy their argument with facts, they change the subject or go back under their Fox News rock.

22. Yes, it was a beautiful thing. nt

[shireen]

9. that was beautiful to watch!

After listening to him, i changed my facebook profile political affiliation to "Democratic Socialist"
It used to be "bleeding heart tree-hugging liberal" :D

I hope the "Socialist" part freaks out my friends. :evilgrin:

[democracy1st]

17. 26:36 is when he recieves her call. I urge listening to the whole interview which is better ! K & R

[Enthusiast]

19. That was awesome!

Honestly, I would elect Bernie temporary dictator for a year or two just to straighten this fucking country out.


The lady that called in saying Bernie was a communist is typical of the low information voter in the U.S. We have such a low level of history and civics education in this nation precisely because the PTB want to keep this knowledge to a minimum.

These people don't seem to understand the ultimate results of allowing corporations to grab unlimited power and influence. They are often heard crying about American sovereignty lost to the United Nations while they are perfectly willing to hand over the country to multinational corporations.

20. K & R Love Bernie

21. Bookmarked for later in the evening.

[KeepItReal]

27. Roger that

<eom>

[chatnoir]

37. I literally thought the same exact thing...

"If only we could clone him"

[GrannyK]

26. kick

[unapatriciated]

28. Thanks just finished watching, it was great from start to finish.

I agree with the last caller and Bernie. The Democratic leadership needs to be tougher and stand up for working families.

[quark219]

29. What a great man! Makes me want to move to VT.

31. Sanders actually represents we the people, that's why we love him.

He's a lone voice, but he should be the norm. Campaign finance favoring special interest is the root of all problematic issues. When this issue is tackled all else will fall into place. The previous eight years should have taught all of us this, yet some idiots never seem to grasp simple issues. Isn't that the definition of insanity, to keep repeating the same steps expecting different results? We need some tea bagging education...and Bernie brings it!!!!

[pruple]

32. K&R

[Metta]

34. Kicked for Bernie.

38. This man is to smart for words
