2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: So when Republicans call Bernie a "Communist Jew," [View all]beam me up scottie
(57,349 posts)23. We're touchy because there have been anti-Semitic posts and threads about Bernie already.
Links to Stormfront, FrontPageMag, Tomatobubble and other anti-Semitic sources have been posted and defended because they were "educational".
Bernie's been called Israel's #1 shill, a "crusty Jew", and accused of having a nest egg waiting for him in Israel among other things.
I'll take your word for it because I've never seen you attack Bernie but others have and will continue to do so.

No, being anti-Semitic and/or defending anti-Semitism here will earn you that label.

Bernie will not be the nominee, so the Republicans won't bother attacking him.

They can't use the anti Zionism trope because the evangelical wingers looooove them some Israel.

They're too smart to go after Bernie's religion but they'll go all in on "socialist", "Marxist" ...

I've been waiting for this! A passive-aggressive attack on Bernie's religion from a DUer.

Of course I do. That's why they have to stay on Israel's good side. Oh, I know they don't like Jews.

They won't add the "Jew" part. They're too into Israel. I say that as a Jewish person.
