Clinton Super PAC goes after Bernie, Linking Him To Hugo Chavez

[Report1212]

If their best hit is that he bought some discounted heating oil for the people of Vermont from an elected country we are allowed to freely trade with, I guess they can smear everyone who buys gas from Citgo too..;..

1. Ex-congressman Joe Kennedy praises Hugo Chavez’s charity

Former congressman Joe Kennedy (D-Mass.) is mourning the death of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez today, praising Chavez as someone who made a difference for poor people.

Kennedy told the AP that Chavez helped 2 million Americans through a heating assistance program that the two men worked on together through Kennedy's Citizen's Energy charity. Kennedy said Chavez donated 200 million gallons of heating oil over eight years.

2. Can't win on her own merit so she unleashes the hounds with weak-ass guilt by association.

6. coordinated with the Clinton campaign- So Hillary is directly responsible for the attack

Super PACs are typically prohibited by law from coordinating with candidates, but Correct the Record will not be a typical super PAC. The group will not run ads, but instead does all of its work online, which it says will allow it to coordinate with the Clinton campaign.

The so-called “Internet exemption” was not intended to be used this way (it was created before the existence of super PACs), the Washington Post notes, but experts say Correct the Record is unlikely to face reprisal.

9. And they're doing all this to get elected and reform campaign financing.

3. Brock still playing dirty, I see. I appears "Correct the Record" has morphed into "Stir the Shit."

7. He couldn't wash all of the slime off

8. Neither Brock nor Clinton have changed.

It's simple, like magnets.

5. I doubt any Clinton supporter would have any appreciation for the work of Hugo Chavez!

Hillary Rodham Clinton and her supporters are the natural enemies of the socialist impetus that brought Chavez to power, and wow, do they hate Chavez!

They are totally unfeeling, in their hate.

10. LOL. Well, there goes the top 1% Venezuelan vote! n/t

11. People would have died in Vermont, Massachusetts and Maine without Chavez's cheap oil. nt

[virtualobserver]

14. That probably wasn't in the Clinton ad.

[roguevalley]

15. and alaska villages. it cost them 2500 a month to heat their flimsy houses.

there was hunger in the villages and they helped. Fuck these wankers. This is a giant f-you to the poor in this country if they do this and I can just HEAR bernie call them out for it. Tin ear, stone hearts, these people. No wonder they support her.

Alerted in 3 ... 2 ...

16. kick.

recommend this post.

[restorefreedom]

19. yes

this is gonna backfire, and in a big way.

[Bonobo]

20. If you don't live there, you wouldn't know how desperate it was needed and how poor some people are.

We were hurting badly back in 2008 and Chavez was a hero out there.

You'd think Hillary would know that since she is supposedly an adopted New Yorker.

[restorefreedom]

21. she might be an adopter ny er

but she is a big money corporatist first.

and you're right. I have family up in that region. The winters have been brutal, and people did literally freeze to death in their own homes. Chavez is somewhat of a folk hero in some regions.

it's just more evidence of how unplugged she truly is to the concerns of people who are not megarich.

13. What's wrong with be being linked to Hugo Chavez? That guy was awesome.

I would be be proud to be linked to that.

[Comrade Grumpy]

17. Wow, red-baiting. I'm shocked, I tell you.

[TM99]

18. And people say that Clinton and her supporters

are not running a negative and dirty campaign.....yet again!

[Report1212]

24. The top donor to this Super PAC is Hillary's campaign itself

It really shows how Super PACs are a joke

22. David Brock revisits his Repub roots?
