“Hillary Clinton was praised by Kissinger! Kissinger!” Bernie Sanders fusses on MSNBC.
Of course, Kissinger, in his turn, was praised by Mao Zedong who said he preferred to deal with Kissinger and Nixon over any Leftist because they were always honest. So this probably means that Kissinger – and by extension Clinton – are Maoists.
Yes, let’s not expect too much insight from the Chairman. 🙂

At least Hillary loves Israel with all her heart. Did you watch her speech to AIPAC today?

The only real difference in Hillary’s and Trump’ speech to AIPAC was that Trump kept referring to some non-existent fantasy state called “Palestine” — no such place, not since 1948.

He’s very selective in the suffering he chooses to notice. The suffering of Cubans hasn’t registered at all. But it’s not like anybody in the world cares, so let’s not single him out.

He also didn’t condemn the Hutu massacre by the Tutsi. What a monster!
This is such a bogus argument. One can barely have the time and resources to protest things done by one’s own government (because, as a voter, that’s one thing you can actually change).
Your argument would make more sense if the US was supplying arms and full diplomatic support to the Cuban government to inflict suffering on its people.
He was asked about Cuba very specifically time and again. If he’d been asked about the Rwandan genocide and he responded the way he did about Cuba, that’d make me angry, too.
As for time and resources, what particular resources would have been needed to avoid praising the Cuban “advances in medicine and education” in the last debate or to mention that the beating of the women in Havana yesterday by the police was not OK?

“As for time and resources,”
That was a more general reply to the stale argument that a lot of Israel-defenders use. ‘Why don’t you care for events in country X, Y, and Z?”
“or to mention that the beating of the women in Havana yesterday by the police was not OK?”
That’s a stretch. I’m not even sure what you’re implying here. Given what you know of him, do you think he’s the kind of person who would say it’s OK that women were beaten up by the Police? Or dismiss the violence? He’s not Trump, for God’s sake!

Bernie was asked a direct question about what happened to the female protesters in Havana yesterday and he shrugged off the question. I’ve had many opportunities to observe that Western Leftists are not capable of feeling even an ounce of compassion for those who are victimized by socialist regimes. There is no kind of horror or genocide that they won’t dismiss or pretend not to notice if it somehow originates from the Soviet Union.

Forget that, he referred to Elizabeth Warren as “the Indian” today. Classy fellow.

Hey Dreidel, fallen in love with Trump yet? There’s still time, but I think he’s said enough by now to tug at your heartstrings.

Trump doesn’t mean any of it. He says whatever will make him liked by each particular crowd.

Isn’t that the way that affirmative-action phony referred to herself, when she was looking for special treatment on the Harvard faculty?

Generally, if you want to make a “my blank is Jewish, I love Jewish people” argument you don’t spend the preceding six months flirting with white supremacists and the KKK. Those who want to believe it, will.
What a weird ass way of expressing your love for your grandchildren.
