Discussion: CNN Guest: Sanders Is A '79,000-Year-Old Muppet-Looking Socialist'

[commiedearest]

Enjoy calling him names now, because by next year you just might have to call him President 79,000-year-old Muppet Sanders.

Sanders should respond to this by having the muppets make a campaign appearance, because who does not love the muppets?

[enon]

ah, nice to see the hillarybots keepin’ it classy…

[marcinmin]

Van was being funny. And Bernie does look like a Muppet character. And he is old.

I knew I was fully in the fold when his family felt comfortable enough around me to poke fun at me.

That is 100% how you know you’re part of the family. If nobody jokes on you it’s typically because nobody likes you.

@TFlick

I imagine Bernie Sanders as being a person who is secure enough in himself to have a good guffaw over what Van Jones said.

I imagine Bernie Sanders coming back at him with something along the lines of, “Well, Van, at least I can still run my hands through my hair, what little I have left. You? Not so much.”

@RichardinJax

It’s right up there with diminishing a person for being Black.

LOL You totally don’t get understand ribbing/clowning/joking/cracking on someone, and I’m really not surprised. Van Jones is a proud Socialist and Sanders supporter who was lovingly giving a little shit to his candidate. And if I ever, ever get to the age where I get exercised about a fucking loving jab by someone who is in my corner, take me out back and shoot me because it’s already over.

@RichardinJax

No. Being Black does not excuse what he said nor is it relevant in a discussion of the remarks.

Well, you would certainly know. lol

CNN Guest Calls Sanders A ‘79,000-Year-Old Muppet-Looking Socialist’

Is that supposed to be an insult? I might need to change my look.

[professorpoopypants]

How about Beaker as a running mate? Meep for Veep!

[professorpoopypants]

Yeah, not to mention that energetic! I mean damn, I’m only 78,264 and I don’t think I could keep up with Bernie’s Senate schedule, much less a full-fledged presidential campaign.

[professorpoopypants]

Maybe he’s secretly conspiring with the Sanders campaign, to help them peel off some of Hillary’s increasingly elderly voting base?

[professorpoopypants]

@RichardinJax

VJ will make a much more humble apology soon. Sanders will remain a gentleman and make no derogatory comments.

Well, I have a good deal of confidence in the second part of that.
