Consider this twisted scenario: A national publication unearths an essay written decades ago by a conservative Republican candidate for the White House in which the man describes, in deviant detail, women who fantasize about being gang-raped. He also writes about men who get thrills by imagining episodes in which they physically force females into degrading sex acts capable of making readers of Hustler rise up in revulsion.

Shock! Outrage! The National Organization for Women would launch a petition drive calling for the man’s head and other body parts.

President Obama would warn that the offensive piece of writing contributes to an “epidemic’’ of sexual assault on college and university campuses. Across America, ladies enrolled in institutions of higher education would earn course credit by schlepping around mattresses on their backs as forms of protest/performance-art projects.

Well, the creepy essay is real, but it was not written by a Republican. The imaginary tale of sexual assault, pleasure and pain was penned by presidential candidate Bernard “Bernie’’ Sanders, 73, the independent junior senator from Vermont.

A self-described “democratic socialist,’’ Sanders champions such leftist causes as ending global warming and combating income inequality.

The reaction from members of the Democratic Party?

Silence.

Sounds better than Hillery!

What a surprise, Conservatives don't understand Fiction writing or any creative arts.
A Piece of advice to anyone who is unfortunate enough to waste precious moments of their life reading this crack pot's screed, once you've read the story in his link, Google Sen. Sanders and see what the truth of the matter is.

Lpdon? Keep the hit pieces coming!
Every time I see stuff like this it just serves to remind me that Bernie Sanders has got you rattled!!

Feel the Bern!!

I havent followed Sanders, like, at all

but thats a good one,,,,,,Feel the Bern

lol,,, sounds kinda gay...

why not make Bernie an Honorary Scotsman/Brit then?
He'd fit in great in the UK!
He might even change his rabid National Socialism!

Errant title. To establish a double standard amongst liberals one would have to make the assumption that all democrats are liberals and that all liberals stand against the essay. One assumption would logically rule out the other if the first were true which it isn't. Lascivious fantasy, logical fallacy.

Do me a favor, define two words for me.
1. Liberty
2. Conservation

Thanks.

There is truth to every paper written.

Well, he was VERY close with Barney Frank........

so this bernie sanders guy is another socialist?

Ummmm he is a self described Socialist! At least he doesn't lie like Hillary or Barry and say they aren't I guess.......

which definition of socialist does he use?

there seem to be several...

Feel the Bern...What you do in a bath house to a guy named Bern.

Anyway, the premise of this thread is completely valid. A Dem writes this stuff and it's 'art' or 'fiction'. A Conservative writes it, and it would be proof of the 'war on women' by Republicans. Ah, the smell of rampant hypocrisy, it smells like...victory.

Bernie should now gain a couple more polling points and send the DNC looking for a better alternative now that Hildabeast has been found to have actually had 'Top Secret' documents on her server. Of course she'll play the "Oh it was an honest mistake." card or the "File was mis-classified" option. She could also just go nuclear and accuse her political enemies of 'planting' the files on her super secret, more secure than the State Dept server.

I'm so hoping this is the beginning of the end for Clinton influence over Washington, and that Hillary gets dragged from the courtroom screaming "I want to negotiate!" while staring down 20 years to life upon conviction.

The dirt the Clintons have on people, and I'm sure what others have on them, could end in an orgy of leaks, recriminations, and character assassination that could cripple the DNC for a decade. It could also force America into its 'Come To Jesus' moment on how politics are performed in their names on a daily basis, and how it will need to change.

She will probably claim Republican operatives planted it there just like Republican operatives planted her husbands DNA on Monica's dress.

Well watching ABC news tonight Hildabeast the lawyer parsed her words carefully, saying she never sent or received emails that contained classified information at the time. If the email was classified Top Secret later, (and she deleted any copies immediately) then she's claiming to be in the clear.

As I understand the U.S. classification rules, once a device has classified info on it (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) it instantly becomes U.S. government property with any and all applicable laws now governing the use of the device.

Documents found were allegedly of a SI/TK/NOFORN classification series. The sequence denoting 'SI'-Special Intelligence as a source usually under alphabet organization control like No Such Agency (NSA). This info is only supposed to be stored at a SCIF rated facility (Special Compartmentalized Intelligence Facility). Essentially a very high security room which has highly restricted physical access, and cannot be electronically penetrated. TK-Denoting a platform the intel was generated from. In this case the 'T'alent providing the intel was a 'K'eyhole satellite platform. The NOFORN designation is that the intel is only eligible to be seen by U.S. citizens. So in theory even U.S. allies would not have access to this information unless approval is given to 'read in' a foreign national on the material.

This sound like yoga e-mails to you? Bridesmaid dress e-mails? Clinton Foundation stuff? So as noted above, if the material as described was on her server, she lied, and she broke the law since her computer was then U.S. government property, and not her personal server.

Hmmmmm.
