I’m all with this Bernie —
But where was this kind of talk 7…6…5…4…or even 3 years ago ? ? ?

Sanders noted that his father was born in Poland but that “no one asked me, whether I’m a citizen or not.”
“What’s the difference? Maybe the color of our skin,” he said.
He’s right, of course. But now, what began as a racist dogwhistle aimed specifically at Obama has taken on a lunatic life of its own, with Ted Cruz now under the birther microscope. Which, you know, couldn’t have happened to a nicer sociopathic douchebag.

Well, Cruz was actually born in a foreign country. And his mother either wasn’t a US citizen at the time, or else she committed election fraud in Canadia. So…I like butter and salt on my popcorn.

Maybe he’s born with it.
♫ “Maybe it’s Maybelline!” ♫

The common denominator? Donald Trump.
… or, more accurately, what he embodies.
So, in that sense, I don’t like to see it happening to any guy (…though I like caramel on my popcorn, lol).

How long till Trump announces he’s sending a detective team to Warsaw to find out if Sanders was really born in America?

Nicely done, Bernie Sanders. Nicely done. Keep up this kind of talk and I may feel OK about it if I’m forced to vote for you. Keep at it.

Yeah, he wasn’t saying that in 2012. As a matter of fact, wasn’t he suggesting that it wouldn’t be a bad idea if President Obama were primaried?

IT would have helped if Sanders had not participated in the effort to delegitimize Obama.

Republicans have tried everything else to discredit this black president and it hasn’t worked. This is their last straw and it’s weaker than all their other efforts combined. They are going to look like sore losers to the very end.
Thanks, Bernie, for calling these suckers out.

His team of 2000 lawyers are on it. Trump sues anything that moves in his way.

Bull; You have no proof of this.

Or she didn’t. You got any evidence she voted in Canada?

Why, yes, I have proof. From this very website on which we are on right now. “O, Canadia, Ted’s home and native land…”
Edit: You can get all Republican like and parse it down to “did she vote,” but if she’s on the voter roll there’s a fraud somewhere.

Well – why would he come to Obama’s defense now? Hmmm… Could it be a dog whistle because of the SC primary?
Some perspective:
Earlier today Sanders accused Hillary of pandering to African Americans by tying herself so closely to Obama:
