George Clooney On Why He's Not Like The Koch Brothers | Meet The Press | NBC News

I love when rational sane people talk about the facts and the real issues. More please. We're drowning out here in ignorance.

[codergames]

This interview seems more like an ad for Hilary.

[soulful]

He is a very intelligent man. You can tell he has done his research. He handles this with class as did Bernie. Two great men!!

[pablobest]

Clooney made a great case here as to why the fundraiser was done and the problems with Citizens United.

[chickenceiling]

Even if you don't agree with what he is saying, I find it hard to believe anyone can hate this guy. This guy has a lot of money, and actually does goods things with it, such as giving to charity.

[MilindThombre]

Be a nuisance and charge the person you're attacking. Only way to make the payment on that new yatch....

[fredlaval]

Like Hillary is gonna try to get money out of politics...

[sergiolobato]

They should've asked Clooney about watered down Kentucky coffee and the first time he was in Italy and tasted real coffee...

[atmark]

whole point of this interview,
he just wanted say "thank you chuck"

[jscottupton]

I respect Clooney even though he is on the wrong side. The problem is not "money in politics". The problem is big government. Get rid of big government and you don't have to worry about politics.

[hongcha]

Why didn't Chuck Todd ask him, "If you think it is an obscene amount money, then why are you doing it? Why are raising all of this money?"

[RobinsM]

I think his heart might have been in the right place, but he is just to out of touch to realize what was actaully happening. Think about it someone spending $353, 000+ and not expecting anything in return?

[sanddonkey]

Thanks for advocating huge numbers of immigrants can come to the UK, then buggering off. Much appreciated?

[NitrousMcBread]

That's the kind of hairstyle your mum tuts and gives you with a brush very quickly on your way out of the door to school.

[terrylee]

i love George Clooney's version of Bruce Wayne.  it wasn't his fault that the director had some weird ideas

[puremercury]

Citizens United was a SCOTUS case, not a "law that was passed."

[randyrysdale]

george, where were you and the secretary when bill was lobbing cruise missiles into the aspirin plant. that being said, i think that you are sincere about your concerns about the congress and trump

[paulorego]

"you sucked as batman" lololol

[zAlex]

The money is not going to hillary? I would have not pegged him as unintelligent, but that seems to be the case. Sad.

[paladro]

perhaps release documents backing your claims about where the donations are going, transparency with obscene money is a start.

i think the donors believe they have a candidate that will protect their issues, their tax bracket and social circles... likely you aren't in their tax bracket, so vote your own interests.
