(62,325 posts)are not the same thing. I notice this 'both sides are doing it' routine that we so abhorred once upon a time here on DU.
Hillary's Super Pac, run by David 'blinded by the money' Brock, who is coordinating, her campaign says, with her campaign, funded by Corporate Money was caught red handed using some of that money to plant a LIE in the media, hoping to remain anonymous, a couple of weeks ago.
Now we had SEEN that 'talking point' being disseminated by Hillary surrogates, Claire McCaskill, Guttierrez to name a few, so we know it as a planned talking point to try to smear Sanders.
There is NO comparison between people posting Hillary's record on the issues, and/or Sanders, to this kind of dirty campaign tactic.
Absolutely NONE.
But it highlights what Sanders' campaign is mostly all about, getting the money out of politics which happens to be for the first time, a TOP ISSUE for voters in this election.
