George Clooney’s next door neighbor is planning to hold his own fundraiser — to benefit Bernie Sanders — during the actor’s posh Hollywood soiree Saturday night with Hillary Clinton.

Howard Gold, whose family founded the 99 Cents Only store chain, is calling his bash the “99% Party,” with tickets selling for $27 per person.

An email invite sent to Sanders supporters Saturday reads: “Swimming pools, Movie Stars, and merriment for all! This is happening right next door to Clooney's party for Hillary!”

The invite also notes that "no-one (will be) turned away for a lack of funds."

There's your link.

[G_j]

10. explanation?

[Armstead]

8. You mean Hillary "Wal Mart" Clinton?

[Broward]

9. omg - is this in L.A.?

This is fantastic!

[COLGATE4]

11. All Bernie supporters should immediately rush to announce that

they will accept none of the 1%ers money raised through this fundraiser. I've been hearing for days why Hillary's fund raising at Clooney's is way past immoral, horrible, antidemocratic, etc. etc. etc. What's sauce fr the goose is sauce for the gander - Clooney's neighbors are also way up in the 1%. Let's see Bernie's supporters be consistent in their righteous indignation now.

[roguevalley]

15. no. 27$ or free is not 350,000 per

[COLGATE4]

16. Your ooint is what? That fundraising by Hollywood elites

is somehow OK for Bernie than for Hillary? Interesting morality.

[libdem4life]

18. There are none so blind as those who will not see.

Stunning logic.

[Silver_Witch]

28. Perhaps you are

impaired and need some help. It is amusing to us Bernie supporter because it proves even some 1%er's see the shame in giving fund raisers such as Clooney's. Hillary and you should've ashamed!l

[COLGATE4]

33. Your naivetee about how political campaigns are funded in the US

is touching.

[Silver_Witch]

34. Oh that is cute....

I know how they are funded....don't you see Bernie raising money?

Politicians have gone over the deep end now that they have Citizens United....

Do we want only the rich to win????

[pdsimdars]

12. This is the kind of spirit that pops up when you have a leader who truly stands up for you.

People respond. The people's hearts start rejoicing. It is a wonderful thing. It should be a MAGNIFICENT event.

[Raine]

13. I love it! nt

[kenn3d]

14. George Clooney: They're RIGHT to protest....

Clooney be like: Ye$ it's ob$cene, Yes, $he's corrupt, the whole damned $ystem is corrupt. Bernie's is right.
So

21. Humility and a Deal: The story behind the 99 Cents Only stores

Great article about this family:

He founded a retail empire that grew to be worth about $1.6 billion, but Dave Gold, the man behind the popular 99 Cents Only Stores, lived a simple life focused on kindness to others, friends and family told the Journal.

I encourage people to read the article at the link.

[Kentonio]

22. Wow, what a wonderful man.

That makes me feel all gooey.

[oberliner]

27. Yeah, he sure seemed that way

Hopefully his son has followed his example.

[G_j]

30. thanks

great story..

23. So now, Hollywood "elites" are under that bus too.

Back in 2008, 2012 they weren't so bad if they were raising money for your favorite candidate. And when Bill Clinton ran for office they were great folks then too.

[AlbertCat]

25. So now, Hollywood "elites" are under that bus too.

We just love Bruce Willis and Clint Eastwood!

Oh wait.... Hollywood "elites" cover a variety of political persuasions.


And there's this:

It's not so simple, is is?

[R B Garr]

26. Yes, but apparently Hollywood elites are okay if they support BS, like Susan Sarandon.

SS is worth $50 Million, but that's all okay as long as she bashes Hillary. She has her anti-Hillary script down, and that's all that matters. Stick to the script. That's how phony all this is.

[Silver_Witch]

29. See how wrong you are..

No cele city is being thrown under the bus. We just don't like the obscene amounts of money being raised behind closed doors with sound ma Hines being used to block what Hillary is saying to the 1%. Why is she so afraid of us hearing her words?

[R B Garr]

31. That is so incredibly phony and such a contrived hater game.

Bernie himself says the 1% are the "problem", but apparently 1%ers are okay if they coddle him. Really, this whole incredibly stupid scripted game has run its course. It's been so overdone, it really is meaningless. You can see how meaningless it is by the way Bernie is coddled by the same people who claim to hate others. Go peddle this elsewhere. Flip Flop galore.

32. The point.
