US Senator Sanders loves his country. He is above reproach as a person interested in harming the country or the people of this country. Senator Sanders has no agenda of his own for his run for the presidency of the USA; he pursues an agenda the middle class needs to regain it's standing in our economy.

National Review’s “roving correspondent” (click here) Kevin Williamson equated Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ platform to the political ideology of the Nazi Party.
Williamson drew the comparison in a National Review column published on July 6 and adapted for National Review Online this week. Williamson describes Sanders as a “weirdo socialist from Soviet Beninjerristan” and dismissively refers to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as “Herself.” Williamson attends a Sanders rally in Iowa and quickly mocks Sanders supporters as “kids play-acting at politics” before accusing the campaign of planting volunteers in the audience to gin up support. “You get the feeling that after a beer or three one of these characters is going to slip up and let out a “comrade.”...
I don't find it amusing that an ethnicity of a candidate can be attacked for political points. Perhaps the National Review hasn't realized there are laws that inhibit speech so the "N Word" is eliminated from promoting hate. We have an African American president and the lest we can do as a country is eliminate the hate speech of the past that has been painful to some Americans. I expect that degree of sensitivity provided for Senator Sanders as well.
There are people in positions of power within this government that believe in the same profound message of Senator Sanders. They are just as upset as he is and they are just as dedicated to revitalizing the middle class. They aren't necessarily Jewish. I'd like to see the National Review write an article making their potent nastiness for those folks.
There is absolutely no reason for any journalist or any media source to resort to ethnic identity of a candidate. It isn't productive and has one purpose of creating hate as the basis of rejection.
The National Review should know that media power in the USA is very powerful. The American people take media very seriously. They rely on good information to form opinions. When hate speech enters the political dialogue it is very potent and results are reverberated throughout the population and effects more than a candidate so much as a community.
So.
Enough.
