BERNIE: It's 'beyond comprehension that Lloyd Blankfein would lecture our campaign'

[cal04]

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) fired off a fund-raising solicitation on Thursday based on a recent interview in which Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein discussed Sanders' campaign.

"Make a $3 contribution today to say you have had ENOUGH of Lloyd Blankfein and the billionaire class buying up candidates and elections in this country," Sanders wrote to his supporters.

During a Wednesday interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box," Blankfein was asked about Sanders' criticism of him. He replied by saying Sanders' populism had the potential to be a "dangerous moment."

In his fund-raising message, Sanders said he found "it a little beyond comprehension that Lloyd Blankfein would lecture our campaign about 'dangerous moments' after Wall Street received huge bailouts from the working families of this country."

1. It wasn't a lecture; it was a thinly veiled threat

and a man who is on a "mission from God" is stopped by nothing. Except the will of the People.

[trillion]

18. +10000

[Wilms]

2. To be fair, Blankfein tutors Hillary.

[FlatBaroque]

3. This is one of the creepiest pictures given the context

the only feature I can make out is Hillary's wide open eyes awaiting the next set of instructions

[monmouth4]

4. She looks like some sort of agent with her trench coat getting instructions from whomever..LOL..n/t

[stillwaiting]

6. It reminds me of Arthur Slugworth whispering in to the ears of the kids about to go...

... in to the Wonka factory.

[Helen Borg]

11. They must be in the mother spaceship or something...

[navarth]

20. THEY LIVE !!!!

John Carpenter.

[FlatBaroque]

24. I was very saddened by the recent passing of Roddy Piper

that was a great character he played in one of my favorite films

[navarth]

27. Yes. That did suck, truly.

He and Keith David were awesome in that movie. And what can one say about Buck Flowers?

But for me the main thing about THEY LIVE! is the message therein. We ALL need us some of them glasses.

Nice talkin' to ya

[WillyT]

5. HUGE K & R !!! - THANK YOU !!!

[ejbr]

7. He endorsed Hillary

in 2008, but won't endorse anyone this time as not to influence the election.

[mountain grammy]

8. Oh thank you, oh great one..for withholding your "influence."

[Helen Borg]

9. He'll just say that Bernie is dangerous for the country.

[trillion]

21. He's endoresed all candidates except Bernie who won't take his endorsment. That would be the Super

Pacs. What bigger endorsement can he give them than money.

Hillary is the 2nd largest recipient of Goldman Sachs funds this Election, Jeb is first. They are now scrambling to put bigger funds behind Rubio.

[Jack Rabbit]

10. It's beyond comprehension that Pretty Boy Lloyd would show his face in public

Does that thief have no shame?

[Moostache]

12. Just sent $30.00

If Lloyd does not sit down and shut the hell up, I am going to donate another $300 and get 300 more people to donate and more importantly VOTE.

That human scumbag needs to be slapped with some reality...the ivory tower and lack of oxygen have clearly atrophied his mind.

[ErisDiscordia]

23. Do it anyway! We all need the practice! Money and votes for Bernie!

[Plucketeer]

13. " Sanders' populism had the potential to be a "dangerous moment."

Well I guess it would! What the hell is Lloyd and Co. gonna DO when they explode again???

[tecelote]

14. "...after Wall Street received huge bailouts from the working families of this country."

It's great that he's reminding them that we, the unwashed masses, bailed them out.

[FairWinds]

15. Lighten Up Bernster !

The Masters of the Universe are just doing what they do.

BTW, if anyone wants to make HRC look bad, take a good look at
the Goldman Sachs "deals" that are out there . . water privatization,
bankrupt cities & countries (Detroit, Greece), crooked for-profit schools,
and much more.

HRC takes that money.

[FlatBaroque]

25. That is a very salient point

and often lost in the confusion.

[MisterG]

16. Some lucky-duck priviledged elitists don't know when to keep their yaps shut!

Jackass. Just donated $100 (plus tip) to Bernie. Sick of Clinton apologists!

[Contrary1]

17. I posted this on another thread last night:

We can write a cheery little note telling Blankfein thanks for the reminder, and how much we're donating to Bernie on his behalf.

Goldman, Sachs & Co.
200 West Street
New York, NY 10282
United States

[Uncle Joe]

19. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, cal.

[turbinetree]

22. This is Goldman Sach's for a reminder..............................

[notadmblnd]

26. over 75 recs and not one Hillary defender here.

I guess this is something they just can't defend her on.

[pa28]

28. We gave them an unlimited bailout guarantee for derivatives in the Cromnibus bill.

Apparently we can afford that, but guaranteed health care and Social Security are "dangerous". Yes, please save the lecture Lloyd.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

30. A dangerous moment for whom, Blankie?

During a Wednesday interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box," Blankfein was asked about Sanders' criticism of him. He replied by saying Sanders' populism had the potential to be a "dangerous moment."
