Nazi flag at Bernie Sanders rally

The socialist policies of the Nazis mirror Bernie’s. So does the antisemitism of the Democrat party.

Nazi flag at Sanders rally sparks outcry, concerns about safety

By Allyson Chiu, WaPo, March 6, 2020 :

Moments after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) took the stage at his campaign rally in Phoenix Thursday night …….

[….] one man standing behind the senator in an upper section of the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum wasn’t waving a “Bernie” sign like many of those around him.

Instead, the man was holding a red flag above his head — and it was emblazoned with a swastika.

“It was absolutely wild,” Brianna Westbrook, a national surrogate for the Sanders campaign, told The Washington Post. “I never thought I would have seen a swastika at a political event. It’s gross.”

While people near the unidentified protester quickly ripped the offending item out of his hands and he was removed from the arena, the mere appearance of a Nazi flag at an event dedicated to a democratic socialist who could become the country’s first Jewish president sparked outcry. The moment, captured in videos and photos that circulated on social media Thursday night, was denounced as an act of anti-Semitism and prompted increased concerns about Sanders’s safety on the campaign trail.

“We can argue about which candidate should get the Dem nomination, but anti-Semitic acts have no place in this world,” tweeted Steven Slugocki, chairman of the Maricopa County Democratic Party. “This is absolutely abhorrent.”

Sanders’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment late Thursday. A spokesperson for the senator told BuzzFeed News reporter Ruby Cramer that Sanders “is aware of the flag with the swastika on it and is disturbed by it.”

Must be a TRUMP supporter … because everything is POTUS TRUMP’s fault.
Tornadoes in TN – TRUMP
Blizzard in MN – TRUMP
Melting glaciers in Antarctica – definitely TRUMP (he secretly installed 138 volcanoes under the PIG)

“West Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier (PIG) is the fastest-melting glacier in Antarctica, making it the single biggest contributor to global sea-level rise. The main driver of this rapid loss of ice is the thinning of the PIG from below by warming ocean waters due to climate change….”

“…The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), which includes the PIG, sits on top of the West Antarctic Rift System that includes 138 known volcanoes….”

Well, the red flag with sickle and hammer would be more fitting for Bernie’s rally, but that was close enough, just different flavor of socialism.

Just because a wicked Nazi unfurls a flag, that doesn’t wash clean Bernie’s wickedness. Bernie works against America, Jewish people and Israel too, under the Orwellian guise of ‘protecting’ ‘loving’ and ‘caring about’ all of us.

“a Nazi flag at an event dedicated to a democratic socialist “. Let us not forget that the NAZI party was a socialist movement. National Socialist Workers Party.

for the ones who denies:

yes the nazi regime was capitalist at first sight.

but the companies selected to build projects for the regime had to pay the full social benefits to the german people

so yes overall the regime was socialist and nationalist.

Right the Nazis were socialist. Just like the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is Democratic.

Dear dimbulb, NAZI is an acronym that stands for Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP, or in der English: National Socialist German Workers Party.

That the Nazis as well as their founder considered themselves socialists fool. Minimally they espoused socialist viewpoints as well and the Volkswagen halfwit was Hitler’s contribution to the people thus the name “Peoples car”.

Nazi or National Socialism used to be a contraction of N.S.D.A.P. or the National sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiters Partei ; now, the Democrats are the new Nazi party and it is still a contraction of N.S.D.A.P. only N.S.D.A.P. now stands for National Socialist Democratic arschloch party .

The Democrats are the heirs to the Nazis.

I think the Dem0rats are a lot less influenced by nazis and a lot more influenced by their older ideological brothers in fascism and Jew hatred. No one is donating deutzchemarks to the Dem0nrat party but I’ll bet many riyals from various muslum petrocracies are finding their way into Dem0nrat coffers.

It would definitely seem that way, to a Democrat Party member. That party is filled with PRETEND engineers.

No, the Nazis were not a ‘socialist movement’ People make this error often because of the name. They only included the word socialist in their name to try and get the working class on side. The working class in 1930s Germany were more inclined to communism. The communists were a serious contender to the Nazis,
as were the Social Democrats. As soon as Hitler became Chancellor he banned both the latter and any other parties. There were to be no more elections while the Nazis held power. Stalin forbade the German communists from aligning with the SDs, which might have thwarted the election of the Nazis who only got a small majority in several elections. The Nazis also closed down the previous Trade Unions and replaced them with a government run ‘union’. You may have noticed the ranks of workers shouldering spades in lieu of rifles in the newsreels of the time. The workers of Germany actually became worse off during the Nazi era, also the later foreign workers had miserable conditions. Plus the big industrialists (like Krupps) who supported Hitler’s bid for power had a free hand.

Right wing is the rights of the individual, left wing is the power of the state. Any organization, Nazism, communist, socialist that represents the power of the state/government is on the left. Thomas Sowell.

This photo is worth a thousand words, nope, a million words. It substantiates that which everyone on this site has known, Bernie’s Nazism. When Bernie enters Hell’s Gate, he, Hitler, Stalin, Castro and other despots will have a Hell of an eternity.

Well, Bernie is like a NAZI with is Jew hatred. Today it is Jews and Christians and tomorrow it will be YOU!

Ever see U.S. flags at a DEM event? Of course you don’t!
But NAZI flags and communist flags are often present at DEM events. Hell is going to be very crowded place…

It’s disgusting that someone would link the Bern to National Socialist German Worker’s Party! After all, the Bern is a Communist! He doesn’t identify w/Hitler, he identifies with Uncle Joe!

Some interesting facts to take note of:

Bernie calls himself a socialist Democrat while the formal name of the Nazis was National Socialist Democrat German Workers Party.

The only bills Bernie ever authored and put through Congress was the naming of two post offices in his home state.

I’m not at all surprised that a nazi flag would be at a Sander’s rally. In fact, I thought the place would be covered with them. He’s so blatantly Antisemitic he attracts nazis like a corpse attracts flies.
