Email from Bernie: Attacked by a Clinton Super PAC

don’t have a Super PAC, Xxx. I am not going to travel around the country begging millionaires and billionaires for money. That’s just not going to happen.

But the success of our campaign certainly has the billionaires' attention.

Yesterday, one of Hillary Clinton’s most prominent Super PACs attacked our campaign pretty viciously. They suggested I’d be friendly with Middle East terrorist organizations, and even tried to link me to a dead communist dictator.

It was the kind of onslaught I expected to see from the Koch Brothers or Sheldon Adelson, and it’s the second time a billionaire Super PAC has tried to stop the momentum of the political revolution we’re building together.

They’ll keep trying … unless we make them pay a price for their attacks.

Make the Super PACs pay for attacking us by making a $50 contribution to our campaign today. Let’s send a powerful message that we have had ENOUGH of the billionaire class buying elections.

If we stand together to fight back against these ugly attacks, we can ensure this election is about who has the best ideas, and not who has the biggest donors.

They should not underestimate us.

Bernie Sanders

He knew it was coming. We knew it was coming.

Donate what you can and do your volunteer work.

P.S. Is Sanders a dual citizen of Israel or an ally of Middle Eastern terrorists?

Sanders was actually replaced by a body double who is a Mosad sleeper agent deeply embedded within an IS terrorist cell running for president in order to deliver this Christian nation into the hands of the Islamic devils upon his inauguration.

Or so I have been told. What do I know. It gets so confusing sometimes.

contribute 50K, not $50 to the campaign for their lies and propaganda.

vicious attacks, it's our turn.

Spread this all over Social Media, let the people know that Hillary's Campaign will not talk about issues, all they do is attack.

That is why the money must be taken out of politics.

This is a perfect example of why!

By nature of the beast, the PAC will be active on DU, KOS, and other sites.

And that's quite some PAC, headed by quite some swine. David fucking Brock - a touchstone of "centrist" morality.

Couple that fact with the enormous funding those PACs deliver, which is something that Hillary Clinton's supporters brag about and say is necessary to win, and say is to their advantage.

This primary/GE campaign season '15-'16 is getting weirder by the moment.

We have this David Brock, a right-wing "political hitman" who claims to have changed sides in the phony centrist left/right corporatist divide, while being paid to do the same thing as brought him to attention of the .01%. We have this Robert Kagan, husband of Victoria Nuland, founders of PNAC and advisors to Cheney, being hired by Hillary Clinton to leach onto the Obama administration and destroy any hope of change. Who say they no longer identify as neocons, but want to be known as Hillary Clinton's liberal interventionists instead. Because that makes a difference in lala land where we can't see where this going, can we? We have James Carville, husband of Mary Matalin, a couple of parasites who hang out with Rove, Bush, and the Clintons. Who coordinate mutually beneficial strategies across the lines. We have an identity in kind.
