Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders — slipped quietly into town Saturday for a pair of low-key events that [snip] did warm the hearts of two overflowing crowds of Hollywood progressives.
Sanders’ supporters might be called the entertainment industry’s irreconcilables — the left flank of the Hollywood Dems’ most progressive faction, with activists deeply disappointed in Obama, who they supported, and unwilling to sign on to a Clinton presidential campaign.
Early Saturday morning, they filled the already blazing frontyard of actress Mimi Kennedy’s Van Nuys home and — at midday — the living room of long-time activists Betty and Stanley Sheinbaum’s sprawling Brentwood Park mansion to hear the program of a candidate they see as everything Hillary is not.
“I’m here ... because we believe Bernie is providing us with the opportunity to have a voice and a role in the Democratic process at a time when progressives are on the rise,” said former California state Senator Tom Hayden, who introduced Sanders at the Van Nuys event.

About 300 people turned out for Sanders’ two events on Saturday. Attendees included Days of Our Lives actress Deidre Hall, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas producer Richard Foos, Sister Act producer Cindy Gilmore Asner, filmmaker James H. Stern and actress/producer Sheila Emery.

Betty and Stanley Sheinbaum are as close as the progressive Westside comes to a first couple. (She’s Jack Warner’s daughter, and he’s a former economics professor turned anti-Vietnam War and civil liberties activist.) Their light-filled Brentwood Park living room has hosted generations of liberal Democratic politicians and progressive foreign leaders. Some of Bill Clinton's first introductions to Hollywood occurred there.
Daniel Ellsberg’s defense in the Pentagon Papers case was planned there and the ACLU Foundation of Southern California founded around the fireplace....

Since rich liberals love Socialism so much perhaps they would be willing to cough up 80 percent of their wealth to the Govt..LOL look what I did I made a funny
He’ll be 75 on Election Day and Cankles will be 69. This is the best the Rats can do?
Good....good.
They would all give up 100 per cent of their money, furs, diamonds, houses, sports cars, to get communism in America! of course. LOL
When Progressives are on the rise, Freedoms are in retreat.
Do they plan to give up this????
Their light-filled $$$$ Brentwood Park $$$$ living room.....
ha ha ha of course not! LOL
” ... because we believe Bernie is providing us with the opportunity to have a voice and a role in the Democratic process”
So when did you rich progressives ever not have a voice and role in the democratic process?
Old Canks is in big trouble, if Facebook is to be believed (always taken with a grain of salt;) Her official page has 928,984 likes, while Sanders has two verified pages with a total of 1,842,972 likes. Ted Cruz also has two verified pages with a combined total of 2,151,778 likes as of today. Going to be an interesting season!
So the former Mrs. Ed Asner supports Bernie
Would love to say to one of these wealthy hypocrites,
“Filthy capitalist dollars!!? I thought you `progressives’ never touch the stuff!”
Let’s see how he would do addressing a gathering in say Peoria IL, Peoria AZ, Olathe KS, or Norman OK !!!!! Of course he goes to Hollweird, the fountain of all craziness. I certainly would not look to Hollyweird to measure the acceptance of a political candidate. For goodness sakes they think George Clooney should run.
