Bernie Sanders supported Iran when they kidnapped 52 American diplomats and citizens and kept them hostage 444 days

19

This should not come as a surprise to anyone. Bernie Sanders has stacked his campaign with some of America’s most notable supporters of jihad. In addition, Sanders is an open sympathizer for some of the worlds most lethal jihad terrorist groups.

What is frightening is that it is very plausible that Bernie Sanders will be the Democrat Party’s nominee. In fact, Bernie Sanders will likely be the clear front runner once Elizabeth Warren ends her dying campaign.

A President Sanders would be a gift to the Islamic Republic of Iran. He would practically give the murdering Mullah’s carte blanche to wreak their havoc and destruction. This is just another example of why Bernie Sanders is the most dangerous presidential candidate of our lifetime. Like Jeremy Corbyn, Bernie Sanders must be stopped.

Bernie Sanders was in a party that supported Iran during hostage crisis

Pulley often condemned “[US President Jimmy] Carter’s war drive against the Iranian people,” claiming the US “was on the brink of war with Iran.”

By Jerusalem Post, January 18th, 2019:

In April 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini took over Iran; months later 52 American diplomats and citizens, as well as citizens of other nations, were kidnapped and held hostage for 444 days in the US Embassy in Tehran.

While a majority of Americans stood firmly for the hostages and against their kidnappers, the Socialist Workers Party (SWP), a self-proclaimed Trotskyist revolutionary party, took the opposite position and insisted that the hostages were CIA agents, according to the Daily Beast.

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders joined SWP in 1980 and served as a presidential elector in Vermont, advocating for the party’s candidates who ran on a platform that defended Iran’s keeping the hostages, the website reported. At a rally, SWP’s presidential candidate Andrew Pulley condemned “anti-Iranian hysteria around the US hostages.”

Pulley often condemned “[US President Jimmy] Carter’s war drive against the Iranian people,” claiming that the US “was on the brink of war with Iran,” according to the Daily Beast. He also said that the war’s aim would be “to protect the oil and banking interests of the Rockefellers and other billionaires.”

On May 21, 1981, Sanders spoke at a Pulley rally saying: “For the last 40 years the Socialist Workers Party has… been harassed, informed upon, had their offices broken into, had members of their party fired from their jobs, and have been treated with cold contempt by the United States government,” the report said.

The Sanders campaign did not respond to the Daily Beast’s request for comment.  After US President Donald Trump ordered a strike to take out Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) commander Qasem Soleimani, Sanders spoke out against it.

“This is just another example of why Bernie Sanders is the most dangerous presidential candidate of our lifetime.”
voters don’t see it that way. They think all politicians lie, but when they are in power, they work to stay that way, so they moderate their actions to fit voter sentiments. So most voters mostly just ignore the promises and past behavior, and focus on the general politcal position of the candidate. Bernie is too radical for the center-left, but he fits with the more radical left. Fortunately, the radical left is only about 25% of the electorate.

Bernie means what he says and isn’t admitting to ALL he believes. I guarantee you he is much worse than what he boldly states in public that is terrifying. Bernie isn’t a “socialist”. Bernie is a hard core Communist.

Hey Felix, happy new year!
– yes, I agree that Bernie is very bad news for the USA. He should never have gotten this far. Since the USSR collapsed, many people have dropped their guard. Many now think that ‘communism lite’ is OK, but of course it is not. Communism & socialism always makes poverty worse, not better.

A belated Happy New Year to you and yours too!

It is frightening he got this far and many millennials support him – thanks to communism is great taught in Common Core… Of course they won’t say the word communism. They say it using “social justice” to describe it.

These vile people are very persistent and we should never have let our guard down. Some also say that it just needs to be tweaked alittle to make it perfect. LOL! You can’t tweak communism.

The Leftist propaganda is thick and fast, promoted by a tyrant culture that wants to grab all the power and money, and subjugate the citizenry. For this ruse, they must promote some high moral cause, like ‘purifying the race’ [Nazis], or ‘rescuing the poor’ [socialists], or ‘pleasing Allah’ [Islamists].

They avoid and manipulate science, to keep it from interfering with their dogma. But dogma is too ham-handed and inaccurate to fit with modern politics. So far, Trump has survived with evidence-based governance. He does what works. And I hope others will adopt his approach, because it is our best hope for the future.

Off topic –
Graham calls for swift end to impeachment trial, warns Dems against calling witnesses

By Ronn Blitzer | Fox News 1/19/20

Senators Ted Cruz, R-Texas; Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska; and Susan Collins, R-Maine, are among a small group of Republicans who have yet to completely shut the door on new witnesses, wanting to hear arguments first. Democrats would need them and at least one more in order to be able to call witnesses, but Graham warned that if they get their wish, the GOP will look to call defense witnesses such as Hunter Biden.

(So Ted Cruz has openly joined the RINOS…. Cruz knows dam well
this impeachment is a farce and not Constitutional. Cruz is such a petulent phony. He still hates Trump for winning just like Romney does…. Cruz claims to be Mr. Constitutionalist – when it suits him for political gain….)

“If we call one witness, we’re going to call all the witnesses,” Graham said.

(Sure you want that Lindsey? I know why you wanted it all dismissed…)

Bernie Sanders is not merely a threat to America but the entirety of the so-called Western Democracies. Indeed, more so to this Republic, but like any contagion, his Marxist, Fascist, Islamist doctrine will devastate America. His Iran alliance, as mentioned, is deep-seated, which does not separate Sanders’ treasonous bent from that of the Democratic Party. He and they are one of the same. Some Democrats may pooh-pooh Sanders’ radicalism, but in truth, he and the Party remain one.

If this pox, Bernie Sanders, or, in general, the Democrats were to succeed, this Republic would face an unprecedented schism, graver than that of the1861-65 Civil War.

Its the same story with one track Bernie. To engrossed with saving society with his idea of salvation not popping his head up to see that his idea hasn’t worked anywhere before, and won’t work anywhere in the future.

Let him start presenting the math. Let him explain how robbing Peter to pay Paul exactly makes Peter not want to move away with his possessions and how that makes Paul want to work?

Socialism works great if you are at or near the top. You are well paid (if you haven’t also stolen the wealth) and never worry about going hungry. The rest of the people, well, uh, hmm, oh well. Breadlines are great if you are not the one in the line, Bernie.

Much is made about Sanders having honeymooned in Russia. So did Lee Harvey Oswald.

The fact that the Democratic National Committee allowed a stalwart of the Socialist Workers Party, an unabashed Trotskyite group, to enter it’s inner circle without Sander’s renouncing his affiliation with it, as well as the party’s goals, should be more than enough proof the Dems have been taken over by the Left. And it hasn’t been your parent’s Democratic Party for over forty years.
