Team Clinton launched a harsh attack Thursday on what it called Bernie Sanders troubling history of campaign shenanigans but the supposed offenses were so minor that any dirty trickster would find them laughable.
One charge leveled by Correct the Record, a super PAC headed by Hillary Clintons longtime crony David Brock, found something nefarious about the clothing seniors were pictured wearing in the Vermont senators campaign literature. Bernie Sanders campaign distributed mailers in Iowa that included a photo of AARP members wearing shirts with the slogan of the groups Social Security campaign, the PAC said in a news release, suggesting Sanders was falsely implying the AARP had endorsed him.
The PAC also accused Sanders of shady campaigning a decade ago. Sanders was accused of running so-called push polls, a tactic considered deceptive in which a partisan caller, masquerading as an independent pollster, asks a potential voter leading questions with the intention of spreading negative information about an opponent,? the release said, quoting a US News & World Report article from Tuesday.
Push polls are a common tactic used by many campaigns including Clintons in Nevada this month.

" Thus the campaign started off as a very sizable operation, exceeding staff of all the Republican campaigns and pre-campaigns combined. ..

Guess not because the Clintons and their ilk are so bad.
And it's pathetic how they can't figure out that all their slime is easily dispensed with these days because of social media and the Net.
Pathetic.

(5,614 posts)The "Liberal" media is the biggest laugh around. Maybe back when FDR, Truman and Eisenhower were in power there might have been a "liberal" bias to the news. Those days are gone, along with the Fairness Doctrine and family owned newspapers.
All MSM news is controlled by a handful of corporations, or right wingers like Edelson. Going to those sources is usually an excercise in futility. Not always, of course, and not in all cases but you are more likely to find articles by John Capehart than by a pro-Bernie OR neutral source.
But I guess you didn't notice that. I'm an old guy from NYC. I pay attention.
Don't trust leaders and watch the parking meters.

Do you believe anyone in either campaign would spend money to make their opponent look good? Not gonna happen. It's like people are just grabbing at straws to make their opponent look bad. It's what they do. IT'S ALL THEY DO!

(368 posts)What's left for the Clinton campaign. More and more voters are flocking to Sanders, Clinton is losing voters, and they have no answer for it. Her campaign is in trouble, big trouble.

(14,255 posts)Hillary's penchant for war, cluster bombs, the TPP, fracking, increased H-1B visas - things like that. Nothing at all can make me disregard the issues that affect all Americans, and the world, really.

(509 posts)I know many AARP members who are voting for Bernie. Endorsements by big corporations or celebrities don't really mean a lot too me or them When it comes to elections, people vote for the candidate who can bring their issues to the stage. Bernie is talking to 99% of them. He wants to shore up social security because for most of them, social security is all they will get.
