Clever tactic

[TrueDemVA]

So news trickles out about a Hillary PAC paying to "correct" the record. Many see this as a way to inundate the opposition and squash others voices. The clever part about doing this is the way posters are suddenly asking, "could other candidates being doing this already?"

This is a slick way of smearing the supporters of other candidates and taking away credible arguments. This is just another example of dirty tricks used by politicians that have been making so many people tired of the establishment.

1. For me, this just confirms what I already believed.

Hillary has a special, elevated place in the Pantheon of Dirty Tricks. Remembering 2008, and I was a Hillary supporter back then.
Bernie is not there at all. So, IMO, not a problem.

2. In the last two elections, Obama had Rapid Response Teams ...

which is no different than what Secretary Clinton is doing. In this day and age of instant new cycles and breaking news via tweets, etc ... things like this are a necessity. If you see this as nefarious, you might be a BS cheerleader.

3. You're right

I am a Bernie supporter. Call it whatever you want, but paying $1 million to have people mislead and intimidate others is slimey, plan and simple.

4. They correcting the record from lies, smears, etc from the BS cheerleaders n/t

[TrueDemVA]

5. That's just silly

[SFnomad]

6. It's hardly "silly" ... it sounds like good campaign tactics to me

It was good when Obama did it ... it is good today.

7. He definitely needed it

Especially against the Hillary campaign. I will agree you on that. Her campaign has been truly masterful in the art of smearing others.

[SFnomad]

8. Actually, it was used mostly against the Republicans

And he needed it in 2012 as well ... when he didn't campaign against Clinton.

But we can certainly see why Secretary Clinton needs it, the BS cheerleaders are acting like the Republicans and using their scorched Earth tactics more and more. You would think the BS cheerleaders would be ashamed .. but they're not.

9. Take it easy

We can agree to disagree. There are trashy folks on both sides.

[SFnomad]

10. "Both sides" ... a mainstay of the Republicans when they can't defend themselves n/t

[TrueDemVA]

11. Okay

Have fun hating the world. Going bike riding with the kids. Peace.

[SFnomad]

13. Enjoy ... btw, I don't hate the world ... something else you get wrong n/t

12. Rapid Response Teams working within the Campaign makes sense..but,

this is a David Brock SuperPac Group Paying Outside People to spread disinformation in posting articles against Bernie.

If the Obama Campaign's Super Pak was doing this, I never heard about it and I was hear all through his campaign and surely the Clinton Campaign supporters here would have complained about it.

14. All that Hillary's henchpeople have done now

is make everyone assume that all pro-Hillary posts are from shills.

15. Apparently, the PAC doesn't think that HRC can "correct the record" on her own.

I'm not surprised.
