Rush: Bernie Supporters Being 'Shafted' by Communist Ideology

Supporters of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign "are in the process of being shafted" because Sanders' so-called "socialist" ideology is really just communism, talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show Thursday.

"Mr. Sanders is a staunch socialist who, for all intents and purposes, may as well be a communist," Limbaugh said. "He has embraced the Soviet Union. He's embraced Castro's Cuba. He honeymooned in both places. Socialism/communism, what Bernie Sanders loves, is inarguably responsible for at least a hundred million deaths around the world."

Socialism/communism has caused "untold, endless human misery wherever it has been fully employed," Limbaugh said. People still literally die trying to escape it, as in Cuba. You don't want to know what happens to people in China who try to get out. And the Soviet Union back in its heyday, they had to build walls in these places to keep people in."
