Like all of us, I've seen much too much of such sleazy Clintonian attacks against Sanders' nonexistent "sexism" and "misogyny" and "insensitivity." Especially all the references to a "dyspeptic old socialist from Brooklyn." What I don't understand, though, is why the vicious antisemitism of these attacks ("Brooklyn" and "socialist" being notorious dogwhistler synonyms for "Jew") goes unreported, unprotested, unanswered. Another thing that I don't understand is why, despite the utterly antifeminist record of the Lizzie/Maggie tandem, not to mention what the first Lizzie did to the Iriah and other Roman Catholics) the Clintonians are allowed to make such a lying fuss about how she would be the first woman to lead a great power--even though, if elected, Bernie Sanders would be the first Jew (D'Israeli converted and dropped the apostrophe; Trotsky and Blum, Reds who held power only briefly, don't count) in all of recorded history (the Khazar Empire, of which nobody wants to know anything, excepted) to lead a major world power. Again, the antisemitism on display is screamingly obvious.
