Bernie Sanders Doesn't Care About Poor White People in Vermont
March 7, 2016
Daniel Greenfield

...

Maybe if Bernie Sanders stuck his head out of his enclave now and then, and stopped spewing back intersectional racist screeds, he might actually learn something about this country. While the rates of white poverty are not as high, the Obama economy has certainly done its part to create misery.

If Bernie Sanders is too good to take a close look at Appalachia, he can try his old state. 11% of white New Yorkers, or 1.3 million people in the state live in poverty. And that's New York.

For that matter in Vermont, an almost entirely white state, has a child poverty rate of 15 percent. Around 75,000 people are living in poverty in the state. But Bernie Sanders doesn't care about them and pretends that they don't exist.

This is what the left's empathy looks like now.

Is Bernie Circumcised?
What Bernie envisions as the true religious revival.
March 21, 2016
Arnold Steinberg

“Listen, Bernie got to get saved, he got to meet Jesus,” observed Pastor Mark Burns last week in Hickory, North Carolina.

Burns is a televangelist supporting Donald Trump. As part of his warm-up act for the Trump campaign rally on the eve of the March 15th North Carolina primary, Burns asked rhetorically, increduously, “Bernie Sanders — who doesn’t believe in God?”

Burns may have been off script, but mixing religion and politics is nothing new for the Trump campaign. At times Donald Trump has variously questioned the faith of his opponents, for example, Seventh Day Adventist Ben Carson and Baptist Ted Cruz. As if to prove Karma, just a few weeks ago Pope Francis, in an impromptu news availability aboard his Papal aircraft, appeared to question whether Trump is a Christian. In a rare instance of turning the other cheek, Trump shrewdly didn’t take the bait. Actually the Holy Father lost points to Trump on that news cycle. Now Trump is back to a familiar theme. In Utah on Saturday, he was questioning the Mormon faith of MItt Romney, of the Church of Latter-Day Saints (LDS).

On the other hand, Pastor Burns may have stumbled onto something. Bernie would be an unlikely convert to “Jews for Jesus,” not because Bernie is Jewish, but because he isn’t. That is, it’s not simply that Bernie doesn’t believe in Jesus, it’s more likely that Bernie doesn’t believe in God. To understand Bernie as a Jew, think of a Christian who doesn’t believe in Christ.
Through his mother, Bernie is (by Jewish law) Jewish, but quite reticent until very recently. Jonathan Kopp of the Israel-bashing J-Street, explains, “Sanders seems to approach Judaism the way Obama handles being African American. It informs his identity and world view, but it doesn’t define him.” Actually Obama is all about his race, and he also has divided America along racial lines. But Bernie is a closet Jew, if that, and (Kopp is right on this) Bernie has not defined himself as a Jew.

“Being Jewish is so much of what I am,” Bernie now says — he was responding to probing during a debate last month. It turns out, though, that Bernie wants to use Judaism as a convenient (and flawed) justification for socialism. Bernie rejects virtue, from a Jewish standpoint, that a virtuous course must be freely chosen, not coerced. Bernie would use the government to enforce on everyone what he sees as virtue.

Significantly, until recently Bernie has spoken in the campaign only of his Polish origins. This is peculiar. My father was born not far from Bernie’s. My parents experienced discrimination and persecution. Like other Polish Jews who ended up in America, they wanted to forget Poland and spoke proudly only of their Jewish heritage. So did their descendants, including me. Is Bernie’s disconnect from Judaism because he is a Jew only by birth, and not remotely observant? Did he focus instead on his Polish heritage because his friends on the Left demonize Jews, but not Poles? Or was his Polish narrative, as many skeptical Jews have observed, his way of running away from his Jewish roots?

Yet, if Sanders were elected and his policies brought about the collapse of America, the Jews — not the Poles — would be scapegoated.

Bernie says he grew up in Brooklyn and saw people with numbers on their wrists. “A good part of my father’s family was killed by the Nazis,” Bernie reports, that’s how he learned that “politics is serious business.” My father left Poland years before the war, but all of his immediate family and his relatives there would perish in the Holocaust. That’s how I learned that Nazism “is serious business”; it is actually short for National Socialism.

Bernie reportedly has “prophetic sensibility,” whatever that means. Here’s the key — Bernie’s religion is socialism; self-hating Jew Karl Marx remains its false idol. Nick Wing in the Huffington Post said Bernie is “a self-described democratic socialist raised by Jewish parents.” For Bernie it is socialism that is spiritual, even if it violates the eighth commandment, “you shall not steal.”

Asked two weeks ago by reporters simply if he believes in God, Bernie replied, “All of us are connected, all of life is connected, and we are all tied together. When we say that a child who is hungry is my child, that’s my religion. That’s what I believe in.” Bernie then told a prayer breakfast a few days later that “religious people” must fight "climate change.” Yet Bernie has shown no concern for “religious people” in the United States to practice their faith without government interference. Orthodox Jews, like religious Christians, would be required to conform by government force to Bernie’s secular agenda.

Bernie Sanders Delivers a Pro-Hamas Speech
March 21, 2016
Daniel Greenfield

While the rest of the presidential candidates spoke to the Jewish community about their support for Israel, Bernie Sanders once again decided to pander to the anti-Israel left with a deranged rant.

The closest thing that Bernie Sanders ever had to a pro-Israel moment came in a famous clash at a town hall meeting in which he defended Israel's right to respond to rocket attacks from Hamas. So like every other non-politically correct position that Bernie ever held, the "authentic" candidate felt the need to back away from it to win the approval of the left with an anti-Israel Utah speech.

After tossing out generic phrases about Israel, America and the need for peace, Bernie Sanders pivoted to bashing Israel.

First, Bernie Sanders condemned Israel for the "exportation" of land. Then he complained that Israel was withholding money from the PLO terrorists... which they use to finance terrorism.

"It is also not acceptable that the Netanyahu government decided to withhold hundreds of millions of Shekels in tax revenue from the Palestinians"

The "Palestinians" by the way are the PLO, an unelected regime, that uses the money to kill Israelis and Americans. Bernie's position is that Israel must help finance terrorism. And it gets worse.

Bernie adds that the PLO shouldn't disavow Oslo. But this is his typical pattern in the speech. First he punches Israel. Then offers a muted criticism of the PLO terrorists.

Sanders thrown in a false rant accusing Israel of stealing water. Then he demands that Israel stop "disproportionately" defending itself.

"Peace will require strict adherence by both sides to the tenets of international humanitarian law. This includes Israeli ending disproportionate responses to being attacked – even though any attack on Israel is unacceptable."

What exactly is a "proportionate" response when fighting terrorists? Was our response to 9/11 proportionate? Was our response to Pearl Harbor?

An attack on Israel is "unacceptable", but so is Israel fighting back.

But here the speech tiptoes into pro-Hamas territory.

...

Yes Bernie, they mean a curse on you too. No matter how much you support Iran and its terrorists.

"a more balanced approach towards Iran that serves our national security interests should hardly be a radical idea."

Sure. How did those captured US sailors not serve our national security?

Or Iran testing missiles. Or threatening to destroy America.

Bernie Sanders Lies About his Lie About Israel
April 9, 2016
Daniel Greenfield

All politicians lie. But it really takes a special sort of politician to lie about his lie. Especially when everyone knows the lie he told. Hillary Clinton is that kind of politician. Now Bernie Sanders proved that he's that kind of politician too.

Bernie Sanders got into trouble for lying and accusing Israel of killing "10,000 innocent people" in Gaza. This was not only a lie because Israel was bombing Hamas targets. But because nowhere near 10,000 people were killed even by the wildly inflated estimates of Hamas and their political allies who will count dust bunnies as casualties and veteran Jihadists as civilians.

Bernie's number was about 4 times too large.

So instead of apologizing for it, the way a normal human being might have done, his campaign got self-righteously shirty about it.

“The idea that Sen. Sanders stated definitely that 10,000 Palestinians were killed is just not accurate and a distortion of that discussion,” Sanders’ spokesman, Michael Briggs said. “Bringing peace between Israel and the Palestinians will not be easy. It would help if candidates’ positions on this issue are not distorted.”

It's terrible when somebody distorts your distortions by... quoting you.

Yes, it's just not accurate that "Sen. Sanders stated definitely that 10,000 Palestinians were killed". So let me quote him.

"I don't remember the figures, but my recollection is over 10,000 innocent people were killed in Gaza. Does that sound right?"

FACT CHECK: Bernie Sanders is Not Qualified To Be Anything
April 9, 2016
Daniel Greenfield

There has recently been some debate over whether Bernie Sanders is qualified to be president.

So The Point's crack fact checking team has assembled a crack set of facts and investigated the issue. And determined that Bernie Sanders is not qualified to be anything.

Fact 1: Bernie Sanders is not qualified to be a carpenter

He worked some as a carpenter, although “he was a shitty carpenter,” Bloch told me. “His carpentry,” Morrisseau said, “was not going to support him, and didn’t.”...

“He was always poor,” Sandy Baird, another old friend, told me in Burlington.

“Virtually unemployed,” said Nelson, the political science professor at the University of Vermont.

Fact 2: Bernie Sanders is not qualified to be a human being

Sanders took his first bride to live in a maple sugar shack with a dirt floor, and she soon left him. Penniless, he went on unemployment. Then he had a child out of wedlock.

Fact 3: Bernie Sanders admits he is not qualified to make decisions

As Bernie Sanders said, "I don't quite think I'm qualified to make decisions."

LOL this is the new demosocialist party, does he look presidential or more like a raving lunatic...
This Is Bernie Sanders
A disturbing look at the socialist senator's radical agendas, which are now mainstream in the Democratic Party.
January 7, 2016
Discover The Networks

Throughout his presidential campaign, Bernie Sanders has been Hillary Clinton's strongest rival, by far, for the Democratic nomination. Huge numbers of people are very excited about this 74-year-old Senator from Vermont. His campaign rallies have drawn massive crowds, sometimes in the vicinity of 30,000 attendees. The Washington Post and Bill Maher, among many others, have noted Sanders' “rock-star” appeal. And a recent poll of 75,000 voters in all 50 states found that Sanders had a higher approval rating (83%) among his constituents, than any other U.S. Senator. In short, Bernie Sanders is no fringe Democrat. Thus it is imperative for all Americans—whether they support him or not—to clearly understand who Sanders is, what he believes, and what he wants to make America look like.

When Sanders was a young man, he joined the Young People's Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. In 1963 he was an organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, whose leadership subsequently grew increasingly militant, eventually culminating in the racist excesses of Stokely Carmichael, who exhorted blacks to “fill ourselves with hate for all things white,” and H. Rap Brown, who urged blacks to “wage guerrilla war on the honkie white man.” Sanders also worked briefly for the communist-led United Packinghouse Workers Union, and participated in a California hospital project organized by the American Friends Service Committee, an organization that unambiguously supported the Soviet cause while opposing America throughout the Cold War.

In 1971 Sanders joined the anti-war Liberty Union Party (LUP), on whose ticket he made unsuccessful runs for the U.S. Senate in 1972 and 1974, and for Governor of Vermont in 1976. Sanders's LUP platform called for the nationalization of all U.S. banks, public ownership of all utilities, and the establishment of a worker-controlled federal government.

Around 1976, Sanders left LUP and spent about two years as an amateur historian and film-maker, selling educational film strips to schools in New England. “His main project,” says the British newspaper The Guardian, “was a short documentary about his hero, Eugene Debs, an early 20th-century union leader who was a six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist party.”

From 1979-89 Sanders served as mayor of Burlington, Vermont. At one point during his tenure, he sparked controversy when he hung a Soviet flag in his mayoral office, in honor of Burlington's Soviet sister city, Yaroslavl.

According to an Accuracy In Media report, Sanders during the 1980s “collaborated with Soviet and East German 'peace committees'” whose aim was “to stop President Reagan’s deployment of nuclear missiles in Europe.” Indeed, Sanders “openly joined the Soviets’ 'nuclear freeze' campaign to undercut Reagan’s military build-up.”

In 1985 Sanders traveled to Managua, Nicaragua to celebrate the sixth anniversary of the rise to power of Daniel Ortega and his Marxist-Leninist Sandinista government. In a letter which he addressed to the people of Nicaragua, Sanders denounced the anti-Communist activities of the Reagan administration and assured the Nicaraguans that Americans were “fair minded people” who had more to offer “than the bombs and economic sabotage” promoted by Reagan. “In the long run,” Sanders said, “I am certain that you will win, and that your heroic revolution against the Somoza dictatorship will be maintained and strengthened.” Sanders even invited Ortega to visit Burlington, though the Nicaraguan president declined.

By no means was Sanders's trip to Nicaragua his only trek to a Communist country. He also visited Fidel Castro's Cuba in the 1980s and had a friendly meeting with the mayor of Havana. In an August 8, 1985 television interview, Sanders said: “In 1961, [America] invaded Cuba, and everybody was totally convinced that Castro was the worst guy in the world, that all the Cuban people were going to rise up in rebellion against Fidel Castro. They forgot that he educated the kids, gave them health care, totally transformed the society.”

...

Bear in mind, as was noted at the beginning of this article, that Bernie Sanders is by no means an unusual Democrat. His worldviews, agendas, and values are, by and large, the same as those of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and any other leading Democrat you can name. Sanders is simply more candid than the rest in acknowledging—with great pride, in fact—that he is a socialist.

Thus, all that remains on election day is for Americans to decide if they want to live in a country—and raise their children in a country—modeled on the ideals of Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama.

WATCH: Bernie Sanders smacks down man ranting about ‘Zionist Jew’ bankers at Harlem rally

Prefacing his question, the man cited Sanders’ Jewish ancestry and the fact that he spent a year in Israel, before continuing, “As you know, the Zionist Jews – and I don’t mean to offend anybody – they run the Federal Reserve, they run Wall Street, they run every campaign.”

Sanders immediately began wagging his finger at the man and shaking is head no, while repeating, “Brother, brother, brother.”

Cowardice in the Face of Leftist Jew-Hate
How Bernie Sanders and other leftists help whitewash anti-Semitism on the Left.
April 11, 2016
Daniel Greenfield

At a Bernie Sanders event in New York City, a black “community activist” began ranting about “Zionist Jews” running the Federal Reserve and Wall Street. At previous events, Sanders had been quick to condemn what he claimed was bigoted and Islamophobic rhetoric by Republicans. But when confronted with the real thing by a left-wing activist at one of his own events, he couldn’t do it.

There was no condemnation of anti-Semitism. Instead after an initial claim that he was proud to be Jewish, he switched to a rambling speech criticizing Israel and distancing himself from Zionism.

Bernie Sanders had suggested at the same event that President Clinton was racist for defending his crime fighting policies to Black Lives Matter protesters, but would not condemn anti-Semitism. Instead of defying left-wing hatred for Jews, he tried to suggest that he wasn’t one of the “bad Zionists”. He was one of the “good Jews” who had a balanced position on Israel and “Palestine”.

It was a sad and shameful display. And this was not the first time that Bernie saw bigotry and blinked.

When NPR’s Diane Rehm accused him of having dual citizenship in Israel, he stumbled through a reply, but never condemned the anti-Semitism inherent in the question. He backed Jesse Jackson despite the Hymietown slur. When asked about it, he did his best to avoid directly condemning anti-Semitism.

Bernie Sanders came out of a political movement rife with anti-Semitism. He encounters it in public on a regular basis. And he is too much of a coward to stand up to it.

...

The Sanders campaign is modeled on Jeremy Corbyn’s successful campaign for the Labour party leadership in the UK. But Corbyn’s victory brought his assorted bigoted allies out of the woodwork like Raed Salah of the Islamic Movement who claimed that Jews use human blood for matzah, Holocaust denier Paul Eisen and Stephen Sizer who claimed that the Jews were behind 9/11. Now anti-Semitism in the Labour party is being vigorously debated. Unfortunately Bernie Sanders’ Jewish origins allow him to “Jewwash” the anti-Semitism of the American left in ways that Corbyn could not. By standing up there and ignoring anti-Semitism, even when it’s directed at him, Bernie Sanders pretends it’s not a problem.

That is what makes his cowardice in the face of left-wing anti-Semitism so useful to the anti-Semitic left.

Attacking Our Nation's Founders
A lesson for Bernie Sanders on America's "racist" founding.
April 12, 2016
Walter Williams

...

A question that we might ask those academic hustlers who use slavery to attack and criticize the legitimacy of our founding is: Would black Americans, yesteryear and today, have been better off if the Constitution had not been ratified — with the Northern states having gone their way and the Southern states having gone theirs — and, as a consequence, no union had been created? I think not.

Ignorance of our history, coupled with an inability to think critically, has provided considerable ammunition for those who want to divide us in pursuit of their agenda. Their agenda is to undermine the legitimacy of our Constitution in order to gain greater control over our lives. Their main targets are the nation's youths. The teaching establishment, at our public schools and colleges, is being used to undermine American values.

Why Does Bernie Sanders Hate Israel?
Whether driven by a radical ideology or simple ignorance, Sanders clearly represents a threat to the U.S.-Israel alliance.
April 12, 2016
Ari Lieberman

...(look at that hair, if he were a repub you'd never hear the end of it)...

Anti-Israel haters generally fall into two categories. There are those whose hate is ideologically driven and rooted in political or religious indoctrination. These individuals are impervious to fact-based reason or logic. Often they are cognizant of the bankruptcy and hypocrisy of their cause but nevertheless choose to disregard obvious flaws in their argumentation as their odious positions bear no relation to logic and are dictated by a convoluted mix of irrational bias and mindless hate.

Then there are those whose hate for the Jewish State stems from sheer ignorance. Unlike their hate-driven colleagues, they are not necessarily malevolent, just devoid of knowledge of the facts. They are therefore inclined to adopt erroneous positions based on erroneous information, the bulk of which is provided by people falling into the former category.

At college campuses for example, the core of the anti-Israel contingent is generally composed of an alliance between Islamo-fascists and hard left ideologues – both immune to reason – and scattered among the periphery are ignorant stragglers in desperate need of a cause to latch on to.

So which category does presidential candidate Bernie Sanders fall into? Sanders has always been a hard-left ideologue, long on socialist oratory but short on substance. He was hyper-critical of Israeli actions during Operation Protective Edge – Israel’s 2014 summer offensive against the Hamas terrorist organization – and was one of only 21 senators not to co-sponsor a senate resolution in support of Israel during its counter insurgency campaign against Hamas. Sanders was also one of a handful of lawmakers who boycotted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 2015 address to the joint session and was in fact, the first senator to announce his intent to boycott the speech.

It would thus seem that Sanders’ malice toward Israel is driven by mindless ideological hate rooted in radical leftist ideology, the same ideology that drives rabid anti-Israel rejectionists like Roger Waters and Max Blumenthal. But recent statements by Sanders concerning Israel and “Palestine” also suggest that Sanders is completely ignorant of basic facts central to the Arab-Israeli dispute.

On April 1, in an interview with the New York Daily News, Sanders demonstrated an abject lack of knowledge on matters relating to the so-called settlements, the 2014 Gaza war and the laws of war.

Simone Zimmerman, Bernie Sanders' Pro-BDS "Jewish Outreach Director", Won't Talk to Jews
April 13, 2016
Daniel Greenfield

The Bernie Sanders campaign is doing really well with hipsters who hate Israel. But there are two groups it just can't seem to crack. Black people and Jews.

The train didn't start going all the way off the rails until the campaign arrived in New York where it was embraced by the Hate Israel crowd and rejected by actual Jewish communities. After Bernie Sanders lied and accused Israel of killing 10,000 "innocent people", even his Jewish supporters headed for the exits.

It certainly didn't help that Jews for Bernie was run by Daniel Sieradski, an anti-Israel activist who distributed a meme during the last war with Hamas which claimed that "That's why Palestinians are fighting back." Or who claimed that, "Great insight is to be gained from the remarks of Hamas’ founder, Sheikh Ahemd Yassin, himself, which are much more down-to-earth and pragmatic than any portrayal of Hamas in the right-wing oriented media."

Instead of distancing himself from Daniel Sieradski. Bernie Sanders met with him.

And then the Bernie Sanders campaign decided to bring on board Simone Zimmerman, a BDS supporter and anti-Israel activist in If Not Now, a J Street front group harassing Jewish charities who help people in Israel, as its Jewish Outreach Director.

Simone Zimmerman appears to have gotten in bed with JVP, a militantly anti-Semitic organization which views the Jewish community as "the enemy" and has defended terrorism against Jews. Simone Zimmerman has joined the JVP hate group in condemning attempts to fight campus anti-Semitism. In response to Hamas attacks on Israel, Simone Zimmerman said, “We think it’s important to understand the context of occupation". And declared that she opposed the campaign against Hamas that began after the brutal murder of three Jewish teens by Hamas terrorists.

The results of putting Simone Zimmerman in charge of Jewish outreach were predictably disastrous. Anti-Israel bigots like Zimmerman exist outside the Jewish community. And are hostile to it.

Meanwhile, across the room, an activist exchanged vitriol with the campaign’s newly hired national Jewish outreach coordinator, Simone Zimmerman, after demanding accountability for the campaign’s failures on the Jewish front.

And the outrage is mounting.

What kind of campaign has a Jewish Outreach Director that won't actually talk to Jews? The Bernie Sanders campaign.

Inside the Bernie Sanders Pro-Hamas Campaign
Attacking Jews and pandering to Muslims is the plan.
April 15, 2016
Daniel Greenfield

Why won’t Bernie Sanders stop attacking Israel? That’s the question some Jewish supporters are asking as the troubled campaign continues alienating Jews while pandering to haters of the Jewish State.

For the longest time it was all but impossible to get Bernie to even admit he was Jewish. His campaign conducted no outreach to Jewish groups while aggressively pursuing outreach to Muslim groups such as CAIR. CAIR is an anti-Semitic Islamist group with known ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

In New York, the Sanders campaign seemingly had to bow to reality and actually reach out to Jews.

But instead the Sanders campaign set out to offend and alienate Jews in New York, as it had done to Jews all over the country, by selecting an anti-Israel activist who had defended Muslim anti-Semitism.

Simone Zimmerman, formerly of J Street, had made a name for herself by harassing Jewish charities that help people in Israel. Zimmerman had defended BDS and opposed Israel’s campaign against Hamas, saying, “We think it’s important to understand the context of occupation".

She had allied with JVP, a hate group, to oppose fighting anti-Semitism on campus. JVP has described the murder of Jews as “resistance” and the Jewish community as the “enemy”.

Zimmerman’s first attempt at outreach to Jewish supporters ended in disaster with a shouting match at a Jews for Bernie event. But Jews for Bernie is run by Daniel Sieradski, another opponent of Israel, who distributed a meme during the last war with Hamas which asserted that "That's why Palestinians are fighting back." Sieradski had claimed in the past that the real threat wasn’t Hamas whose leaders “just want to make life better for their people”, but Jewish “ethnic exclusivity”.

Why would any serious presidential campaign think that putting anti-Israel activists like Simone Zimmerman and Daniel Sieradski out front is a good idea? Coming on the heels of Bernie Sanders’ lie that Israel had killed “10,000 innocent people” in Gaza while fighting Hamas, this looks like a deliberate plan to alienate Jews.

And it just might be.

...

Bernie Sanders outsourced his presidential campaign to people who hate Jews and Israel. And rather than standing up to them, he has gone along with their hatred, counting on his mannerisms and accent to deflect concern about the rising wave of ugliness within his own ranks. And it isn’t working anymore.

Pandering to Muslim hostility toward Israel is a bigoted tactic that has lost him the Jewish vote. The Sanders campaign has provided yet another platform to opponents of Israel like Simone Zimmerman while distancing the Democratic Party even further from the mainstream Jewish community.

While Ted Cruz, Kasich and Trump met with Jews in New York City, Bernie Sanders instead decided to fly a luxurious chartered jet for some face time with Pope Francis. There Bernie Sanders decided to pal around with notorious leftist thug Evo Morales.

Bolivian President Evo Morales opened a new Twitter account today, and celebrated his meeting with U.S. presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

Evo Morales called Israel a "terrorist state" while describing Iran as a "strategic ally". Here's Morales palling around with Ahmadinejad.

Bernie Sanders appointed radical anti-Israel activist Simone Zimmerman who has a history of protesting against Israel and aligning with BDS groups as his "Jewish Outreach Director". (The Point was the first to expose Simone Zimmerman's background.) The resulting outrage forced the Sanders campaign to suspend Simone Zimmerman while they "investigated" her actions. The media spun it as a response to her attacks on Netanyahu.

Meanwhile in true Twitter narcissist fashion, Simone Zimmerman began retweeting messages of support. One of the first such messages came from Linda Sarsour.

Linda Sarsour, a staple of Democratic campaign politics in New York, had described stone throwing at Jews as courageous. And allegedly has family ties to Hamas.

Rights Versus Wishes
Do people have a "right" to health care?
April 19, 2016
Walter Williams

...

Let's apply this bogus concept of rights to my right to speak and travel freely. Doing so, in the case of my right to free speech, it might impose obligations on others to supply me with an auditorium, microphone and audience. My right to travel freely might require that others provide me with resources to purchase airplane tickets and hotel accommodations. If I were to demand that others make sacrifices so that I can exercise my free speech and travel rights, I suspect that most Americans would say, "Williams, yes, you have rights to free speech and traveling freely, but I'm not obligated to pay for them!"

As human beings, we all have certain natural rights. Of the rights we possess, we have a right to delegate them to government. For example, we all have a natural right to defend ourselves against predators. Because we possess that right, we can delegate it to government. By contrast, I do not have a right to take one person's earnings to give to another. Because I have no such right, I cannot delegate it to government. If I did take your earnings to provide medical services for another, it would rightfully be described and condemned as an act of theft. When government does the same, it's still theft, albeit legalized theft.

If you're a Christian or a Jew, you should be against these so-called rights. When God gave Moses the eighth commandment — "Thou shalt not steal" — I am sure that he did not mean "thou shalt not steal unless there is a majority vote in Congress." The bottom line is medical care, housing and decent jobs are not rights at all, at least not in a free society; they are wishes. As such, I would agree with most Americans — because I, too, wish that everyone had good medical care, decent housing and a good job.

FACT CHECK: Yes, Bernie Sanders is a Leech
April 19, 2016
Daniel Greenfield

Conservative columnist Katie Pavlich wrote an editorial titled, "Bernie Sanders and his leeches".

It discussed Bernie's own lifestyle sponging off taxpayers and the greed of his supporters who want to take money out of other people's pockets to subsidize their lifestyle. In response the cynical supporters of the Sanders campaign began accusing her of anti-Semitism for using the word "leech".

Now the Sanders campaign is, despite the ethnic background of its candidate, anti-Semitic. Just now Bernie Sanders got into trouble for standing up Jews in New York to pal around with Evo Morales, a friend of Ahmadinejad who had been blamed for escalating anti-Semitic violence against Jews.

...

The fact check on this one is easy.

Sanders took his first bride to live in a maple sugar shack with a dirt floor, and she soon left him. Penniless, he went on unemployment. Then he had a child out of wedlock. Desperate, he tried carpentry but could barely sink a nail

...

The Nazis did refer to Jews as leeches and a hundred other derogatory terms. But the majority of Jews are not voting for Bernie Sanders. His leeches are mostly non-Jewish. They are a beautiful multicultural tapestry of leeches encompassing every culture, race and religion.

And most of them, like Bernie Sanders, hate Jews and Israel.
