...but don't consider his wealth an issue.

And I don't consider Bill and Hillary's wealth an issue just as I didn't consider Jack Kennedy's wealth. Or Lyndon Johnson's for that matter. If you can make money as long as it is not illegal or immoral I don't see a problem. I'll bet that if the vast majority of people on this board were asked tomorrow to give a speech to Wall Street firm for $200K, few could honestly say they would turn it down.

In addition, we don't yet have a clue what Hillary talked about in a speech to GS. It may well have been about the need in investing in 3rd world countries where people are starving to death.

The bottom line is there are those who are happy she gave that speech so that they can now attack her for it.

...complementary, even gushing, to those who paid her high speaking fees. That's really obvious. I don't need to see her speech transcripts. I don't need to see more photos of Bernie protesting in the 1960s, to know he promoted civil rights. I don't need to see Hillary's transcripts to know she complimented her hosts... "issues" like these are so strange, to me. Both candidates have records to run on and plans for the future.

Since his opponent is obscenely rich. There is no comparison.

So what's the point of this post?

People want more details and this article had a wealth of details. Notice I didn't comment on the article one way or the other.

This is only a very small sample of the vetting that Bernie will get if he wins the nomination.

I see memes like this from repukes, and the Forbes article dances around the meme. So a 70 plus year old stashed away a bit and made six figures. Does one have to take a vow of poverty to comment on social inequities?

Again, I don't get the point, other than the bullshit Repuke meme.

... compared to what the Republicans have in store for him. It's starting already.

Google: "Bernie Sanders accused" and you will see what I mean.

Including a disgusting anti-Semitic article and a link to a Holocaust denier's website.

Thanks for your "concern", I'm sure that's all it is.

But if you don't like Vanity Fair, you can find maybe ten other websites that feature similar articles. But notice that I didn't link any of those articles. It is you that is continuing to talk about the situation and generate interest in it.

The article you posted was shockingly anti-Semitic but that's not surprising considering the fact that the writers there think the Holocaust was a hoax.

If anyone wants to do the Google they should try 'tomatobubble + Holocaust' and see what comes up. Or if they want to read the article you cited they can Google Bernie's name and tomatobubble.*








*Note to jury: the op's thread can be found via Google search: enter the op's name and "The Real Bernie Sanders", you'll see he did link to that website. It is not a personal attack to cite facts.

I don't know much about the subject, but you appear interested. If you have a problem contact Vanity Fair News about this article: http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/01/bernie-sanders-family-money

That was a strange non sequitur the first time you used it and it's only getting more bizarre.

When some people have trouble coming up with rational arguments in a political discussions, they try to mask their failings by trying to irritate their opponent, usually by repeating the same line over and over again. You're not that kind of person are you?

Then you brought up Vanity Fair twice for a reason that still escapes me since I specifically mentioned anti-Semitism and Tomato Bubble.

That's an important first step.

Really.

Net worth of $800,000, he salary is $175,000 a year, his net worth rose more in a year than adds up, the net worth rose $450,000 in 2015, more than twice his salary, doesn't add up.

From Money Nation:

That's where all their "info" comes from.

But making a thing out of the fact that Bernie Sanders makes a 4%-level living (for Pete's sake, he's a senator, a decent salary seems appropriate) is kind of like when Bush's campaign attacked the war records of John McCain and John Kerry.

This is not important IMO.
