70. Anti-Semitic conspiracies to go with the links to Stormfront and tomatobubble?

Is anyone really surprised by this new "concern" for where Bernie was while he visited Israel?

He's been called "shifty Sanders", Israel's #1 shill, a "red Jew", had his loyalty questioned and accused of having his campaign funded by Israel.

It's their version of birtherism.

I expected this to happen eventually, at least they're done pretending they're not using dog whistle tactics.

Bernie Sanders and the kibbutz conundrum [View all] Alfresco Jan 2016 OP

What year would that have been? Is it something he would remember? Why does it matter? Renew Deal Jan 2016 #1

Google it. A lot of people are curious. Why the big secret? Alfresco Jan 2016 #2

Isn't that a Trump line, "A lot of people are curious/want to know"? nt TheBlackAdder Jan 2016 #10

Is it? You listen to Trump frequently? Alfresco Jan 2016 #12

Unless a person's head is buried in the sand, one can't miss him. MSNBC, CNN, CBS, etc. TheBlackAdder Jan 2016 #16

I use my mute button or change channels. I do not care for his rhetoric. Alfresco Jan 2016 #27

Ah, the informed voter. nt TheBlackAdder Jan 2016 #71

LOL! You have to listen to every speech Trump says to know who he is and what he stands for KittyWampus Jan 2016 #74

LOL went out of date with MySpace. Not every one, but I don't go "La La La" when he's on TV. nt TheBlackAdder Jan 2016 #75

Why would they be curious? Renew Deal Jan 2016 #14

See post # 6. I supplied links to several articles. Read them. Alfresco Jan 2016 #15

I don't understand why this matters... TCJ70 Jan 2016 #3

People are curious. It's a great mystery. :-) Alfresco Jan 2016 #6

That his official biography may be inaccurate certainly does matter. baldguy Jan 2016 #31

Pathetic attempts grow ever more pathetic cali Jan 2016 #7

It's a simple question many people are asking. Alfresco Jan 2016 #9

Huh! You're the first I heard asking. elias49 Jan 2016 #29

See post #6. If you hear me you have magical powers. :-) Alfresco Jan 2016 #34

Meh. See Post #29 elias49 Jan 2016 #35

Good morning 99. No desperation, I just like a good mystery. :-) Alfresco Jan 2016 #25

Bullshit. 99Forever Jan 2016 #32

OMG Just bloody hysterical. I can't believe its not the Onion. snagglepuss Jan 2016 #8

If it was The Onion the title would be: Sanders Sleeper Mossad Agent, Trained while on Kibbutz. :-) Alfresco Jan 2016 #37

Obviously someone doesn't like you talking about this subject. MADem Jan 2016 #49

Thanks for posting this MADem. :-) Alfresco Jan 2016 #51

If we're going to revisit Bernie's kibbutz years, I would also like to revisit Vinca Jan 2016 #22

If you read the articles it's the Jewish community who are most curious about this. Alfresco Jan 2016 #23

They could always ask Bernie. I doubt he did anything crazier than any of us other Vinca Jan 2016 #26

Read the articles. Many people have asked with no response which is why it's such a mystery. Alfresco Jan 2016 #30

I'm not terribly interested in what Bernie did 50 years ago. Vinca Jan 2016 #76

well then if that's the case why post it here and not in the Jewish group? azurnoir Jan 2016 #42

You are mistaken. I'll leave it at that. Alfresco Jan 2016 #36

then why would this tidbit from ancient history restorefreedom Jan 2016 #38

That is the question. Why would Bernie keep this a secret if it's not relevant? Alfresco Jan 2016 #40

because it is so unrelated to politcs and so irrelevant, restorefreedom Jan 2016 #41

How do we know it's not relevant? The mystery continues. :-) Alfresco Jan 2016 #43

Only for those creating a self-fulfilling prophecy predicated on circular arguments. LanternWaste Jan 2016 #48

That should disqualify him right there!! elias49 Jan 2016 #56

i have to agree with you there restorefreedom Jan 2016 #58

I am much more concerned with Hillary's ties with The Family/The Fellowship. djean111 Jan 2016 #53

It was most surely pandering. Maybe also wanting to be a part of the group. KittyWampus Jan 2016 #77

Both pandering to and just wanting to be part of that group are distasteful to me. djean111 Jan 2016 #80

Me too, and those ties are from the last couple decades..... peacebird Jan 2016 #78

I am not sure why this matters MuseRider Jan 2016 #54
