Sanders campaign attacks Clinton for hosting fundraiser with Clooney

[ag]

I guess back in 2008 when Geffen, Katzenberg and Spielberg held these kind of fundraisers for Obama, jfern was equally vehement in denouncing them as immoral.
Wasn't he?

Well, these guys did not have Donald Trump back then: the Republican they, actually, like.

Did they ever raise $335k a ticket? I don't think so.

Somewhat less. But still tens of thousands per plate - this is the norm. Obama once had 6 fundraisers in a single day. The cheapest one was $2,500 per plate, the most expensive - $50,000, and there were also events at $5,000, $35,800 and $40,000 per plate (cannot seem to find the numbers for the 6th). All in one day's work. $30,000  to $50,000 per plate seems to be pretty common for him. You never seemed to have bothered before.

These are just a few of the first links coming up on google. Enjoy.

Are you trying to imitate Rubio? Can you utter any other coherent proposition besides that idiotic talking point?
If not go away and stop wasting our time with your tomfoolery.

Speak for yourself. I gave a specific reason why the tickets were no more than $75k in the past.

Anything magic about 75 grand? Money flows into politics. In 10 years it will a million or two per plate, and people will remember the 350 grand per plate as something cheap.

Then again, what can one expect from a guy who claims that Hillary Clinton "supported" Honduran coup, while knowing full well that this is pretty much exactly the opposite of what happened. Baseless Slander is your middle name, I guess.

Would a Sanders supporter who is outraged about this explain just how these entities should otherwise reinforce down-ballot races and field candidates for offices besides President?

They do not care about those - or about the Democratic party in general. There is a reason Sanders had never been a Dem in his life. And Vermont Progressives, I guess, are low maintenance.

[ag]

Of course Hillary was involved in the Hillary coup.

A tragic death does not make every statement by the victim truth.

Anyway, from now on I shall always claim that you are a Chinese prison guard, personally involved in torturing dissidents. And I have more reasons to claim that then you have to blame Hillary Clinton for the Honduran coup: I merely invented my accusation based on no evidence about you whatsoever, whereas you are continuing to peddle a shameless lie despite ample public evidence - perfectly familiar to you - that it is a lie.

[ag]

You're an idiot.
End of discussion.

Stop projecting.

He is wrong. You are not an idiot. You are a shameless slanderer in voluntary service of Donald Trump.

Of course nothing was above $75k before the 2014 SCOTUS ruling. You can give $36k to a candidate and the DNC.

Well, that is the law of the land now - so people operate under the laws in force. You cannot unilaterally disarm, unless all you want is to lose. In terms of actual "corruption" there is exactly zero difference between 75 grand and 1 mln. And you perfectly well know it, but choose to deliberately slander an honest person for the explicit purpose of electing Donald Trump.

Where did I say I like Trump? This has nothing to do with him.

Except for doing anything in your power to have him elected.

Huh? It's the truth that Hillary sided with the coup.

I'm not a Trump supporter.

Why would I believe you? You have not recently been known for telling truth around here.

It is a shameless lie you keep repeating, despite every evidence to the contrary (which is public, and which I have previously discussed). The US government never recognized the government that came to power as a result of the coup, and used the threat of non-recognition of the successor government to insist on elections being conducted in time and in accordance with some minimal standards. There is no evidence that Hillary Clinton or anybody else in the US administration supported the coup, and ample public evidence to the contrary. No matter how many times you repeat that white is black, it is not going to become black.  You are a deliberate, shameless slanderer.

By supporting a candidate who beats Trump by 24 points in one poll?

By using blatant lies to attack the eventual Dem nominee.

Be careful for I think that jfern might take this as a compliment.

He might. I do not care about him enough to deny him this mild enjoyment.
