TYT: Rand Paul: Bernie Sanders May Kill Ten Million People

[WhoIsNumberNone]

Rand Paul is launching a new attack against Bernie Sanders or any who are advocating for new Democratic Socialist policies to be adopted in America. But his ideas of what would be the consequences of those policies seems a little over the top. Ana Kasparian (The Point), John Iadarola (Think Tank), and Margaret Howell (Lip TV), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"In what may be close to the most over-the-top claims made by Republicans about potential Democratic rival Bernie Sanders, Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) said Sanders’ election could lead to “mass genocide.”

Sanders is a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, an economic model normally associated with Scandinavian countries that boast high quality of life. But Paul, like Texas state Rep. Jason Villalba, fear mongered by comparing Sanders to historical monsters who used the word “socialist” in their party names, Right Wing Watch reports.

Paul linked Sanders to murderous dictators like of Pol Pot and Josef Stalin.”*

1. Rand, like his father Ron, would kill far more.

Both, iirc, advocate getting rid of the social safety net that keeps some 65 million Americans alive.

2. Freak show POS!

Sure...we're going to listen to you.

You and your lame ass father, sucking a living off of the thing that you rail against...government.

STFU, Worm.

[Ken Burch]

3. Jesus, Rand...Bernie's not THAT angry!!!

[daleanime]

4. The only millions Rand Paul is worried about....

5. The stupid is strong with this one n/t

[Kalidurga]

6. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOh Anna swore...

I have never ever seen her that angry before. That was so awesome. She was po'd and still slayed Rand with her words and logic.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

7. China murdered it's intellectuals....

Rand has nothing to fear.

[Enthusiast]

11. loose lips

[Warpy]

12. Good thing the little turd is runing for office or he'd be in slander territory

I wish some mad scientist would develop a nasty virus that was activated by lying. The world would be a much nicer place. We'd also know what makes our butts look big.

13. Let me see now. . . .

This is the same man who said at Howard University that the Republican Party has always been opposed to racism.

It's the Big Lie technique at works, folks.

[Kablooie]

14. Oh no! Bernie will become a horrible despot like Prime Minister of Sweden.

Boy, he thinks the electorate has an IQ of 10.

Actually he may be right, though.

[bulloney]

15. Hey Rand! This "socialism" scare tactic you're attempting is so 1950s Joe McCarthy.

Equating Sanders' economic ideology with Joe McCarthy's commie scare tactics shows how ignorant Rand Paul is.

[MrMickeysMom]

16. Anna nailed this clown's motivation for showing his latest ignorance....

Asshole, Rand Paul, wouldn't be able to define, much less compare and contrast the terms, "Democratic socialist" to "communist dictator". Guess those Kentucky schools failed to get it across to him. Quite amazing Paul made it to dental school. Guess his daddy didn't teach him, either.

When you are empty on ideas, you do anything to be noticed. I guess that's where we are in this era of blow-hard, empty-headed pretenders of American history and certainly Democratic Republics.

Pol Pot and Josef Stalin?

PP and JS would have used this idiot as their PR man, then propped his empty head in the town square!

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

20. Like most American conservatives (and almost all libertarians)

Rand Paul's knowledge of actual socialism and social democracy approaches zero as a limit.

[HassleCat]

18. This pretty much seals the deal.

Every time Rand Paul opens his mouth, it makes me more and more certain he is very, very stupid. But there was always that nagging bit of doubt in my mind, the thought that he might just seem stupid. But I have no doubts now.

19. They need to adjust his medication.
