    • I saw that - started to make it its own thread, cause Chris "tingle up my leg" Matthews is... well, he's special. And he's looking so OLD!!!!

      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      • Yeah Chris Matthews seems to be past it. He's now done 3 different old-man-yells-at-cloud level rants on air now about Bernie / Socialism that I'm aware of, while other anchors on air with him have stared at him dumbfounded and aghast. His most recent one was about Bernie creating communist death squads to come shoot him. Hard to see the network not putting him out to pasture soon.

          Perhaps he and James Serpent Head Carville could team up.

            • Yeah, I think the last time he ran, some of his "rape and ravage" material surfaced. He's "out there" in more ways than one.

                In the article he's mocking modern culture for its demeaning attitude toward women, not advocating for it.

                • Old news, 40 years old actually, and brought up in 2016 campaign. Nobody takes it seriously as his record supporting women speaks for itself.

                      Ah, the old "old news" hand wave with the double whammy of "it was brought up before".

                      And, again...

                        So what, he delved into male-female sexual fantasy in an essay 40 years ago. Grow up.

                          Bernie's article is very badly authored certainly. It seems meant to be a piece where he's looking round the local bookshop and seeing things similar to the recently popular 50 Shades of Grey (which, shall we say, is pretty questionable from a feminist perspective) and being offended by them and the way they depict women, and he's asking the reader if this is really what peak feminism has come to. It avoids falling into the "old Christian prudish man shakes stick at these young-uns up to no good" genre only because it doesn't refrain from lewd language, and he was 30 when he wrote it, and it attacks the current culture (of 1972) from a feminist rather than religious perspective. But it's very badly written and its use of parody is often more confusing than helpful, often leaving it unclear what point Bernie is actually trying to make. His most recent book is vastly clearer to read.

                          • Sheesh. First it was "Beto" with his fantasy about murdering children and now this.

                              The side that constantly tells us to "move on" (even starting an organization with that name) are also the ones who thought rumors about Mitt Romney bullying another kid when they were kids in school was a big story that revealed a lot about his character.
