What does it say about Bernie Sanders--and the Pope--that when it comes to economics, Sanders sees Pope Francis as more "radical" than he is?

Appearing on today's Morning Joe, Sanders discussed the news that he has been invited to visit the Vatican. Sanders mentioned that [other than on social issues] he is a "big, big fan of the Pope." Said Sanders: "people think Bernie Sanders is radical. Uh-uh. Read what the Pope is writing." Sanders went on to describe the Pope's views on economics: "he's talking about the idolatry of money, the worship of money, the greed that's out there . . . And he's trying to inject a sense of morality into how we do economics."

Bernie says that when it comes to economics, the Pope is more “radical” than he is.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Well, Comrade Bernie, you are radical. It matters not what the Pope is doing as he ain’t running for POTUS.

[Steely Tom]

Pope’s not running for President, Einstein.

Since when does a socialist care what the Pope says?

[Glad2bnuts]

The Pope is leading his flock off the cliff also, so what does that prove?

[Randall_S]

Sadly, Bernie is completely RIGHT about this. The Pope and Bernie are Communists.
Not maybe, not kind of, not in spirit - but actually unreconstructed Cold War-era Commies.

I'm sure Bernie was misquoted. </sarc>

Regrettably, this Holy Father appears to embrace some rather unholy precepts.

Saying that hard working Americans should pay more taxes to the politicians so they can give the money to the freeloaders isn’t radical. Coming out and saying that the church was going to start paying their “fair share” of taxes, now that would be “radical”.

Touche, Bernie, Touche!

You got this Catholic’s weekend off to a laughing start!

Mine, too!

Feel the Bern mr. pope.

[ScottinVA]

Bernie has a point, there... the “pope” is every bit as leftist as the Bern.

Hey, Remember when Sarah Palin said that "This Pope seems kinda Liberal to me"

And EVERYONE lost their Sh!t? She needed to "STFU UNTIL SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT!!!!"

Can she talk now?

[BobinIL]

I thought the pope was a commie from the get-go Thanks for the Confirmation Bernie.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Q. What’s the difference between Bernie Sanders and Pope Francis?

A. Bernie is honest.

Check his travel plans. He might be going to the Cleveland Convention?

Nice misdirection from the POS socialist.

Bernie, Hillary, Ted and John should be in federal prison with the rest of their current and past crony socialists from the gang of 535 in CONgre$$.
