“Feel the Bern” people put out an ad featuring Simon and Garfunkel’s “America.”
The ad had over one million viewers within the first 24 hours of its release.
And prompted an attack by Hillary supporter David Brock.
But is the ad successful because Bernie does *not* say anything?
Via AP:
With days to go before the lead-off Iowa caucuses, Hillary Clinton on Thursday ramped up her attacks on fellow Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, saying she is not interested in ideas that will “never make it in the real world.”
The former secretary of state offered a sharp assessment of the Vermont senator’s proposal for a single-payer health care system Thursday morning, saying it would lead to “gridlock” in Washington. She also questioned his foreign policy ideas.
Clinton took up the foreign policy attack in her 30-minute speech Thursday, criticizing Sanders’ suggestion to invite Iranian troops into Syria to help fight Islamic State militants, which she said was like “asking the arsonist to be the firefighter.”
“Sen. Sanders doesn’t talk very much about foreign policy. But when he does it raises concerns because sometimes it can sound like he hasn’t really thought it through,” Clinton said in Indianola….
Sanders and Clinton are locked in a tight race going into the Feb. 1 Iowa caucuses, prompting Clinton and her supporters to grow more aggressive. On Thursday, David Brock, a top Clinton ally, criticized a new ad from Sanders, saying it presents a “bizarre” image of America, focused on white voters.
Brock, a longtime Clinton supporter who runs several super PACs aiding her candidacy said Thursday that a new Sanders ad was a “significant slight to the Democratic base.”
He added, “From this ad it seems black lives don’t matter much to Bernie Sanders.”….Sanders campaign shot back, citing Brock’s history as a conservative activist focused on attacking the Clintons before he became their ally, and saying Clinton should be “ashamed” of her association with him….

I’ve always liked Art Garfunkel but let’s face it, he’s thought of as a second fiddle. Fits Bernie. Hillary should have just played Paul Simon songs at her events.
Speaking of ‘Feel The Bern’. The washed up Red Hot Chili Peppers are giving a concert in behalf of the Socialist.

and just in case you missed it, here’s a list of ‘artists’ that signed up and support him. Very sad that some of the people I admire decided that Sanders is best for America. They are all now on my **** list.
