Of course he will get a complete pass...

After the pass Obama got for longtime political association with Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright and his attacks on the Constitution (he was on record saying he didn’t like how it limited the powers of government), what difference does ANYONE’S past writings or associations have in the current presidential election?

[PeteB570]

Nope, I’ve got some hard left Facebook associates. They write is off as youthful fantasy writing.

“A man goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy,” wrote Sanders. “A woman on her knees. A woman tied up. A woman abused.”

Bernie Sanders' typical fantasy is a bit different...

He goes both ways AC/DC-USSR...

All of humanity tied up and abused on its knees.

[Popman]

This article was published about the same frame as GWB DUI incident...

since the left considered that ancient news as proof GWB was unfit to be POTUS..

I’m sure they will call on Bernie to withdraw his bid for the democrat nominee / S

He will get away with it unless he steps on the wrong toes....say Hitlery if the powers that be want her as POTUS.

Leftist Bill Cosby, serial rapist, got away with it until he pushed his “Black Responsibility “ not so leftist creed one too many times at the wrong venue.

It was time for all the previously silenced ‘actresses’ to come forward....egged on by who knows who

“A man goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy,” wrote Sanders. “A woman on her knees. A woman tied up. A woman abused.”

I'm going to guess that Sanders has not conducted a survey of men for their masturbation fantasies, and is talking about his own fantasies.

[Howie66]

Naturally.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I think it’s true. At least for the ones who vote Democrat.

[VRW Conspirator]

Of course he will get a complete pass...

But he will get the LGBTx vote! They will make him a poster child.

...a left-wing Marxist politician complaining about a left-wing Marxist magazine that published an honest expose that included details about a paper that the candidate himself actually wrote. You can’t script this hypocrisy any better. But now comes the real test: Will the left-wing punditry crank up its outrage machine and turn it loose on the chronically rumpled Sanders

The MSM won't do anything.

[Robert357]

Oh course he will get a pass. Look what people said of Bill Clinton. One famous black woman said that when a man like Bill unzips and tells you to get on your knees, you do it. Only Republicans can be against women, just like blacks can never be racist. These are definitional issues, they have no bearing in fact, fairness or reality.

[Vigilanteman]

and I'd guess that you'd be right. The typical leftist considers themselves only as rational and everyone else with various degrees of irrationality.

[Homer1]

Will they punish team Clinton for the way they treated Willey, Jones, Broaderick, Lewinsky and others?

[Enterprise]

He’ll get a pass. But if Rush reports on his show that Bernie wrote an article about women fantasizing about rape, the press will report that Rush said that women like being raped.

[onedoug]

It only solidifies his credentials as a democrat.

[Rockpile]

I only could find that Sander’s first wife left him around the time of this essay. Can’t find any details about her not even her name. The News Cartel appears to have covered for this demorat socialist for years.

“The issue is never the issue. The issue is the revolution.”
—David Horowitz, quoting unnamed SDS leader.

[Impy]

He says it was satire. Frankly, after reading it I’m inclined to believe him.

He couldn’t win the nomination before and he still can’t, but if he did, how sweet it would be.

[Theodore R.]

No need to cover for Bernie; people in VT will always believe in him.
