Bernie in 1986 -supportive of Castro & his Communist revolution

RUSH: … here’s Crazy Bernie himself. Let’s go back to 1986, Burlington, Vermont, University of Vermont. This is the mayor at the time, Bernie Sanders, speaking to a class on the 1960s.

SANDERS: I remember, for some reason, being very excited when Fidel Castro made the revolution in Cuba. I was a kid and I remember reading that, and it seemed right and appropriate that poor people are rising up against ugly rich people. I was very excited and impressed by the Cuban revolution. I was watching the debates. You remember the famous Nixon-Kennedy debate, and there was Kennedy and Nixon talking about which particular method they should use about destroying the revolution. Kennedy was saying that Nixon was too soft on communism. I actually got up from the room and almost left to puke.

RUSH: Liked Castro, liked the Cuban revolution, liked rising up against ugly rich people — and he had to leave the room and puke when JFK announced that he was opposed to Castro. So, you know, we don’t know how many people have heard Bernie Sanders in environments like this. Bernie doesn’t say this stuff publicly. But a lot of his true-to-heart believers believe this is who the guy is.
