Here's What Passes for "Dialog" for some on the Left
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/vid...re_racist.html
Major league lefty Rob Reiner on Morning Joe:
Morning Joe co-host Willie Geist posed this question to Reiner:
"How do you explain the millions and millions of people who do not watch this show who actually like what they hear from Donald Trump and aren't taking messages and orders from us in the media, but they listen to what he says for themselves and vote for him? How do you explain that?"
"There are a lot of people who are racist," Reiner retorted.
Meathead did backtrack ever-so-slightly later in the interview, trying to say "not all" of them are racist.
What a schmuck. Wonder what criteria he uses to parse between those who are and those who are not racist?

Why do you ask? Do you think he's a racist too?

I mean aren't you sad your party cannot nominate a normal, respectable candidate? We don't agree but you seem to be a pretty decent person.
I believe Trump is a racist because he espoused birtherism because Obama was black, leaving out the fact that Obama's citizenship was determined by his mother from Kansas, a US citizen.

well he is not but I respect your opinion
the birther thing was simply exaggeration for a cause
I never appreciated it much but no one is perfect in approach.

So as long as racism, or "fake" racism is a means to an end that is ok?
Machiavelli would love you.

Actually, he appropriated the "birtherism" meme from from Hillary's campaign.
By your definition, I guess Hillary is a racist too.

Neither of them are playing the race card.

That was my thought on Hillary as well. A minion for the 1%.
Bernie isn't really a child of the democrats though. He's an independent. He gamed the system, he had to. If he hadn't he would have gone nowhere....no media, no exposure, no debates, he would have been completely shut out. The two parties control the process so tight an indie would never get as far as Bernie did as a democrat.
