Stop Blaming Bernie Sanders for the GOP Baseball Shooting
The Chicago Reader ^ | June 16, 2017 | Ryan Smith

Posted on 06/18/2017 9:52:09 PM PDT by PBRCat

Bernie Sanders growled while delivering the keynote speech at last weekend's People Summit in Chicago: "Part of the problem is . . . nobody wants to hurt each other anymore."

Packed into McCormick Place's Arie Crown Theater, thousands of his followers roared in response, some furiously waving bloody fake heads of Donald Trump borrowed from Kathy Griffin. "Knock the crap out of them!" Sanders screamed, his index finger pointing at some invisible target like a cocked gun while red beret-wearing Bernie bros in the aisles began passing out burning torches and pitchforks.

Not gonna click on the link. Is this for real? It sounds almost parodic, but, these days, you can’t be sure.

Right after you stop blaming President Trump for everything from world hunger to your dandruff.

The inexorable internal logic of socialism requires that all opposition to it be destroyed. Sooner or later. One way or another.

So yeah. Bernie IS to blame.

You are right about being unsure these days whether or not it’s satire, but I THINK it’s satire!;)

Why the hell not?

Libs blamed Sarah Palin for Gabby Giffords shooting and Bill Clinton personally blamed Rush Limbaugh for the Oklahoma City bombing.

In neither case was the fault where they claimed and not many voices could be heard condemning and refuting those claims.

Even some in the GOP distanced themselves so as not to annoy the media!

I personally believe Bernie is but one of those many voices on the left threatening violence if they don't get their own way, so he and they in some sense should get partial blame for inciting violence!

I never did blame Bernie, but I certainly think that the MSM can share in the blame with their endless campaign of hate.

I blame the person who wanted to murder people, but that doesn’t mean certain Democrats are off the hook when it comes to encouraging mayhem and sedition.

Okay. They got me. The giveaway was the "borrowed" bloody Trump heads and the pitchforks and torches.

Other than that, the rest is believable.

When you stand back and look at the history of this guy...he’s been a lost-cause for fifty-odd years of his life.

Violent alcoholic...going back decades. Continually angry over taxation rates, which most everyone will agree that they need to be resolved and fixed. Hooked onto the Bernie dream....which oddly enough meant EVEN MORE taxation for all the free things that Bernie was going to deliver. Then loses whatever mental capacity he had in final hours.

Based on past bad behavior and illegal acts in his community....he’s one of those folks that should have been brought in and denied the privilege of owning a weapon. Yet, the system never worked.

Sanders is a communist. Everything he says, does and believes is taken from the communist manifesto.

Eff him and his family.
