The NY Times Reminds People that Sanders is a Jew

[What Would Jesus Do?]

On balance it's a pretty good article IF you read past the headline or the first few paragraphs. But if you don't, it sounds just like what my subject line says. And if you think that's an accident, I have a planet to sell you.

They also pretty strongly imply that Sanders might be a closet atheist and is probably one of those "self-hating Jews" because he is less all-in-neocon in his support of Israel than, say, Hillary.

If you get past the tone and innuendo, the rest of the story is pretty interesting and well worth the read.

About time we get some credit. Rs keep saying all Ds got is old white people as if they have a problem with that.

Sanders is not jewish. At least not in a political sense. He has been in Vermont way too long.

Except, Bernie is not a D.

But Ds are voting for him, so we get the credit.

I'm voting for him too. How much credit do I get?

The anti-semites in the DNC base will submarine him in the end.

Bernie's not a Jew.

Jews don't "GIVE" away anything.

(No disrespect intended to my Jewish friends. I was merely using a cliche for the sake of intended humor.)

We can be Bernie buddies. Anytime over the next 8 years we can tell the rest of HROT how awesome Bernie would have been if only Americans were less anti-Semitic. It's going to be fun.

You guys remind me of the people I once went to church with. For these people, being religious was a competition, and it didn't mean anything outside of that.
