In one short sentence, a British journalist has betrayed his ignorance—if not his deliberate misrepresentation--of UK and US politics. On today's Morning Joe, Ed Luce, the Financial Times's chief US commentator, said that if Bernie Sanders were the Democrat candidate, that unlike Jeremy Corbyn:

"[Sanders] wouldn't have the whiff of anti-Semitism about him."

Either this US-based Brit is ignorant of US politics and Bernie, or he’s lying.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

IIRC, more than once, Bernie has had to let go of staff when his/her/they antisemitic beliefs/behavior became apparent to the world outside the hollow tree they live in.

Bernia is reference-standard stupid.
He’s never had a thought.
Or a real job.
And never will.

Oops, that’ Bernia - not Bernia.
Although a clever reader out there might be able to do something with that. ;-)

Calling someone anti Semitic /homophobic /racist / sexist/ bigoted is just a cheap way to attack an opponent when you run out of good arguments (most of the time)

Sanders surrounds himself with anti-Semites.

The Democratic Socialists are chick full of them.

The British and US press are again clueless, trying to tell themselves the blowout loss was due to anti-Semitism.

It was about Brexit.

They’re in denial.

LOL. Bernie is the epitome of a self hater.

Is that the same Bernie who has been endorsed by three Muslim Congress Ladies who make no attempt to hide their personal anti-Semitism?

They lie to themselves, then they believe their own lies and then they proceed as if their lies are reality.

“They lie to themselves, then they believe their own lies and then they proceed as if their lies are reality.”

Exactly what they do. Then demean, belittle, shame, attack anyone who doesn’t believe their fantasy world.

Really? I don't see Sanders as any friend of Israel. He's also allied with noted anti-Semite Linda Sarsour. QED.

And then they're shocked when the real world does not conform to their make-believe one.

Exactly. That alone refutes the point the Brit is trying to make.

Bernie isn’t anti-Semitic; he’s only a self-hating Jew that turns his back on Israel.

Bernie is a communist and is almost a textbook definition of anti-Semitic self-hating former Jew. UK papers should at least read an American candidate’s public statements before trying to promote him
