re: #303 HappyWarrior

Appreciate your perspective on this. The condescending bullshit just drives me nuts. The one i’ve seen and really hate is pointing out Bernie’s participation as a Freedom Rider and really props to him for doing that, I want to think had I been a young man in the 60’s, I would have been brave enough to do that but then the lame attacks on Clinton who was a teenager supporting Goldwater. I mean she sure as hell was wrong but I’ll be damned if I don’t call it utterly crass to attack someone for what they supported at 16 and this from someone who was very much a lefty activist type at that age,.

Was Bernie Sanders a Freedom Rider? I know he was at the Washington march and was active in the civil rights movement, but I can’t find him in the Freedom Riders info.
