When do we get to the "fraud"/"hypocrite"/"phony" part?
Are you actually saying authors can't be paid for their work, or what?
Book publishers can't do promo tours on your planet? Retired people can't have retirement funds?
Hm?
Why does Bernie need $1MM -- in a single year!?
I have no idea what he "needs". Neither do you.
But I do know a publisher paying an author to write a book is legal, involves no "fraud" and is a normal thing. And I do know a retirement fund is legal, involves no "fraud" and is a normal thing. And I do know that poorly-planned threads quoting blogs they never stopped to think about whether it makes sense or not, IS "fraud", IS dishonest, and is unfortunately around here --- a normal thing.
Anything else?
So Bernie dollars are just worth more and holier than other dollars, is that it?
No dollars are "holy", despite the national Religion of Money. That's idolatry.
The simple fact remains, there's no story here. A publisher struck a deal with an author, the author got paid for his work and his name, the publisher set up a book tour. That's it. Happens about 364 days every year. SO WHAT?
Diga me Tonto --- how much has Cheetoface made from licensing his name, while writing --- nothing at all?
I think Sanders raised more than 210 million dollars in donations as of May 2016--from the Democrats-so we'll see if he is going to chip in on any other Democrat party campaigns during the 2018 election cycle or just decide to keep himself for his reelection (whenever that is?) Because he never did it before. You all complained and Bernie Sanders campaigned very negatively about the money that was being paid to Hillary Clinton for speeches--but guess where that money was going.
"One particular difference between the campaigns has been generating attention on this site: Clinton raised $18 million dollars for the Democratic National Committee, to be used in the general election to support Democratic candidates, while it appears Bernie Sanders has raised none. This is causing some consternation, with supporters of Clinton claiming that Sanders is not holding up his end of the bargain and is not interested in helping the Democratic party, while Sanders supporters claim he was given no opportunity to fundraise and that there is no reason for him to work for an organization that has been working against him. The money goes into the Victory Fund, to be shared by the national and state parties for whomever gets nominations in 2016"
Why didn't Bernie Sanders raise any money for the DNC?
And you're pulling it out of your ass too. I have never posted on what money was paid to Hillary Clinton for speeches --- or anyone else. Pulled it right out of your ass.
I'm also not aware of Sanders --- or anyone --- raising 210 million from the Democratic Party. Let's see a link. And if it too comes from your proctology report, at least put it in a baggie.
