I need to find that 2014 NPR interview. Barnie must've stuck his entire foot in his mouth.

Why do you lie so much? Bernie never took a penny from a super PAC, let alone bought a house from the proceeds. It's illegal to do so.
Are you completely ignorant of campaign finance laws?

"Unlike traditional PAC's, super PAC's are prohibited from donating money directly to political candidates, and their spending must not be coordinated with that of the candidates they benefit."

So, tell me again how Bernie took money from a super PAC and used the proceeds to buy a home with?

He didn't "take" anything. An unaffiliated super PAC set up by a nurses union (that Bernie neither endorsed nor coordinated with) that existed long before Bernie ever decided to run for potus decided that they liked Bernie, so they sent out some mailers and whatnot in support of him. He didn't "take" a dime, and he certainly didn't buy a house from the proceeds as you said above.
Explain to me how he bought a house with super PAC money??

you're right, he took $6.3 million, so more than a dime. and bought himself a new lake house too.

You're lying again, just like you lied when you said you'd leave the forum for good if Hillary lost to Trump.

So did he renounce it or did he use it, and then save enough money in other ways to buy a lake house?

The article you cited was written by Ken Vogel, the same Ken Vogel who got caught sending an article to DNC communications director, Luis Miranda making sure the DNC approves of it before publication;
From:PaustenbachM@dnc.org
To: MirandaL@dnc.org
Date: 2016-04-30 22:32
Subject: Fwd: per agreement ... any thoughts appreciated
Vogel gave me his story ahead of time/before it goes to his editors as long as I didn't share it. Let me know if you see anything that's missing and I'll push back.

Politico actually apologized for it, too. So good luck trying to deny it
