REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is a right wing smear, Sen Sanders never said that. Putting quotations around those words is falsely attributing them to him.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Feb 13, 2016, 06:46 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I just listened to the five minute video of the Dobbs-Sanders interchange. I did not hear the the first alleged quote. Lies should not be allowed.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If he did not say it as quoted it is a smear but i dont have enough info to determine. If true it is relevant even if cuts against myfavored candidate
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No link, no video, no proof. An artful smear.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is insane! It was posted in the HRC fourm and is not a hit peice. Get over it.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

6. Love your comment, kydo.. says it all! And, what a lucky jury too. I figured it

would be alerted on.. they want to bury everything on sanders like this.

Thank you! thank you, Skinner for paying attention to this.

9. Thanks for being you, kydo!

And Juror #3 deserves a kudo as well for giving the benefit of any doubt. The others who voted to Leave It didn't comment but seem to be reasonable people. If only more were like this ...

18. Thank you! I was looking for that!

I finally found where he makes the ridiculous claim that "a lot" of immigrants are taking lifeguard jobs.

10. So his no vote wasn't out of concern for immigrants?

11. What he told Ezra Klein!

As Sanders has climbed in the polls, however, the pro-capitalist and nationalist content of his politics has become increasingly clear. An interview with Sanders released Tuesday by former Washington Post writer Ezra Klein for the Vox web site is particularly revealing in this regard.

About halfway through the interview, Klein asks Sanders about his attitude towards immigration. “You said being a democratic socialist means a more international view,” Klein says. “I think if you take global poverty that seriously, it leads you to conclusions that in the US are considered out of political bounds. Things like sharply raising the level of immigration we permit, even up to a level of open borders.”

At this point, Sanders abruptly cuts off Klein, saying, “Open borders? No, that’s a Koch brothers proposal.” “Really?” Klein responds, apparently taken aback. “Of course,” Sanders replies. “That’s a right-wing proposal, which says essentially there is no United States… It would make everybody in America poorer.”

Sanders continues: “You’re doing away with the concept of a nation state, and I don’t think there’s any country in the world that believes in that… What right-wing people in this country would love is an open border policy. Bring in all kinds of people, work for $2 or $3 an hour. That would be great for them… You think we should open the borders and bring in a lot of low-wage workers, or do you think maybe we should try to get jobs for those [American] kids?”

12. He seems to be trying to say now that at the time it was because of "sex trafficking"

...or have I got that wrong?

13. I certainly hope the Clinton campaign is using this clip in their

Nevada advertising. They have been way too kind to Bernie so far.

[SunSeeker]

16. Yes. I saw her Nevada ads when I was in Vegas last month and they didn't even allude to Sanders.

Meanwhile, Sanders runs ads with little cartoon money bags implying Hillary is on the take.

I wish I could find a video I saw here of Sanders on TV around the time of his vote against Kennedy's immigration reform bill spouting the silly rhetoric about immigrants even taking lifeguard jobs. It was probably hidden.

On edit:

FOUND IT!

SANDERS: That's right. They have no good response. I read something today that a lot of people coming into this country are coming in as lifeguards. I guess we can't find - that's right. We can't American workers to work as lifeguards. And the H1B program has teachers, elementary school teachers. Well, you know.

It was in the same Lou Dobbs interview cited in the OP and in this thread.

14. More proof Sanders is a one-note politician

EVERYTHING is Income Inequality to Bernie Sanders. It's starting to get tiresome.

15. Lou Dobbs??

[SunSeeker]

17. In that same interview, Sanders made the ridiculous claim that "a lot" are taking lifeguard jobs.

SANDERS: That's right. They have no good response. I read something today that a lot of people coming into this country are coming in as lifeguards. I guess we can't find - that's right. We can't find American workers to work as lifeguards. And the H1B program has teachers, elementary school teachers. Well, you know.

Gee, wonder where Sanders read that?

19. Nice Catch!

I just derided a front page posting suggesting that conservatives would jump ship and vote for Saint Bernard and his Magic&Light show.

Little did I know that Bernie was sounding like a conservative on Lou Dobbs. Who'd have thunk it after his debate comments about immigration?????

Let the Great Vetting begin. Btw, I'm not sure how this clip would play in Nevada.

But I can guess.
