Pres. Candidate SMASHED By Disgusting Blast From His Past That Shreds Major Liberal Myth

(Before It's News)

ADVISORY: The following article contains language that some may find offensive.

It has long been a favorite talking point for progressives — a very sharp and often effective talking point echoed and amplified through leftist media — that the Republicans are waging a relentless “war on women.” Liberal columnist Eleanor Clift, writing a lengthy October 2014 post for The Daily Beast, continued to beat the “war on women” drum. Clift wrote that “Republicans are still saying crazy stuff about women,” and she predictably (though inaccurately) made reference to the Todd Akin situation where the GOP congressman spoke of what happens to women’s bodies in cases of “legitimate rape.”

“The GOP’s inability to relate to women is apparent once again on the campaign trail. There aren’t the obvious howlers like there were in 2010 when Todd Akin, the patron saint of goofy statements, rhapsodized about how a woman’s body shuts down in cases of ‘obvious rape,’ obviating the need for abortion.”

But if liberals are going to try to keep fighting political battles using the so-called “war on women” as ammunition, they now have on their hands what could be considered a virtual “nuclear bomb” delivered by one of their own — Bernie Sanders.

What has been unearthed is a comment so outlandish, so inflammatory that — one might reasonably speculate — if it had been made by a Republican, the mainstream media would be breathlessly falling all over themselves to deliver non-stop expressions of outrage…Obama’s new attorney general would immediately dispatch a task force to investigate…Hillary Clinton would have already launched a series of attack ads…and feminist rioters would take to the streets in endless protests.

So what is this blast from the past whose heat might well overwhelm the young flames of a recently announced presidential bid by a self-proclaimed socialist Democrat?

Back when he promoted his political agenda under the name Bernard Sanders, the senator who now calls himself “Bernie,” reportedly wrote an essay that appeared in an alternative newspaper in Vermont. In that 1972 essay, writes Dan Joseph of MRC TV, Sanders proclaimed that women fantasize about being gang-raped.

In the article entitled “man-and woman” that was published in the Vermont Freeman, Joseph notes that “Sanders shared his thoughts on male and female sexuality in ways that would cause a media firestorm if it had been penned by any current GOP candidate.  Even one with as little chance at grabbing his party’s nomination as Sanders currently has.”

Curiously, an image of the article appeared in a May 26, 2015 profile of Bernie Sanders published by Mother Jones, a far-left publication. Generally positive in its tone as it examined the colorful life and times of the ultra-lib presidential contender, the Mother Jones piece captioned the image: “This 1972 Sanders essay, published in an alternative newspaper called the Vermont Freeman, reflected his affinity for Sigmund Freud.”

Toward the top of this essay, Bernard Sanders writes: “A woman enjoys intercourse with her man, as she fantasizes being raped by 3 men simultaneously.” The Sanders essay appeared in print some nine years before the Vermonter was elected to his first public office as the mayor of Burlington. However, his political career began the year before the “gang rape” comment was published, when Sanders reportedly joined the Liberty Union Party.

There is no indication that Bernie Sanders has any sort of professional degree, license, or certification that would support his brazen assertion that such thoughts as he described might actually go through a woman’s mind.

So, one might ask, will Eleanor Clift now include Bernie Sanders in her list of politicians who are “still saying crazy stuff about women?” Or will this be dismissed by the “so what” mainstream media as an irrelevant, long-ago quip from a guy known for saying some pretty, well, interesting things?
