A few socialists have been bad, though it's been demonstrated time and time again that wasn't the case for every socialist, but if a few of any group are bad, Republicans don't seem to have a problem banning them all...

Unless they're rich, then the GO gets to call them "job creators" and throw endless tax cuts their way.

-- A2SG, just look at all they jobs they create in third world nations!

I agree. Look at the way he folded for a couple of BLM chicks. He's a lightweight. A goof.

Gee, when a group that complains about having no voice in politics speaks up, he gives them the microphone.

Yeah, we don't need that kinda stuff 'round here!

-- A2SG, no wonder they call him a socialist.....

Next year, we may start seeing fisticuffs on the floor of Congress, just like some of those YouTube videos from third-world countries.

Only thing is... The Repubs will be beating each other up, using tea pots no doubt! ^_^

Trump (if elected) will then say "Congress is so stupid I'm not going to bother with it. I'll just Executive Order everything and it'll be great."

I predict, should he win, Trump would most likely win the race for most executive orders given.

And he will boast about it, "Look, I am a guy that gets things done. I don't wait to a bunch of losers and liars for permission."

Until these trials began, the Khmer Rouge were heroes to the Sanders left. They fiercely defended the Khmer Rouge no matter what the reports of their atrocities, because of their commitment to “social justice.” The ends justified the means. When folk singer and anti-war protestor Joan Baez began to question the crimes, she was blasted by the left.

The difference between the Khmer Rouge and guys like Sanders is what they have the political leverage to inflict.
Wow! How desperate are the GOP to come up with this garbage so as to smear Sanders by implication?

Did I really just read an attempt at a comparison between Bernie Sanders and the Khmer Rouge?
Or did I dream it?

You do realize that because you refer to it as a dream rather than a nightmare this means that you yearn for genocide? If that is so I'd recommend that you vote for Sanders, I hear he is genocidal as well.

Having a single shared attribute/value doesn't mean that two people (or entities) share all attributes/values.

For example, Hitler hated communism, so did JFK...yet, it would be ridiculous to try to lump them in and pretend "they're the same person" simply because there was one thing they happened to agree on.

That would be pretty tough to accomplish...FDR has quite a record going for himself on that one. He had over 3,500...

To put that in perspective, that was more than 7x the number of orders by Obama and Bush combined.

Or, another way of looking at it, well over 300 per year...meaning that FDR, on average was at almost 1 per day.

Man, that was embarrassing!
A man who can set aside his own ego to let a couple of women talk about an issue they feel is important is not embarrassing. What's embarrassing is that the hate speech and demagoguery the Donald spews is met with thunderous applause. A borderline fascist is the presumptive Republican nominee. That's embarrassing!

A man who can set aside his own ego to let a couple of women talk about an issue they feel is important is not embarrassing.
If the issue was important the two women in question would have sought a permit to speak at their own rally rather than threaten and intimidate a Democratic presidential candidate to step from his own dais and let them speak.
People who think black lives matter don't present themselves as two black women who are threatening and racist in the face of a white male presidential candidate.

What's embarrassing is that the hate speech and demagoguery the Donald spews is met with thunderous applause.
And yet you differentiate the hate speech of BLM from that of Donald Trump.
A borderline fascist is the presumptive Republican nominee. That's embarrassing!
I'd suggest you learn what Fascist politics embodies before embarrassing yourself further thinking Trump is the example of that. His background , his work ethic, the party he's running for, and his business model refute Fascism in its entirety.
While the man you praise, Sanders, is a Socialist. Maybe learn what Socialism entails as a political model after you learn what Fascism is.

Throwing words out that you think sting a candidate you disagree with and without knowing the body of history behind those words doesn't make for an informed point against Trump.

Hypothetically speaking should one also be embarrassed for thinking that Sanders parallels a genocidal regime? Hypothetically speaking of course, I'm not saying such a thing has really happened.
