So Campaign Hillary Is At It Again -- Pushing Another False Story About Super PACs [View all]

[berni_mccoy]

As some might remember, I called out how Clinton is using Rovian tactics to paint her opponent with her own flaws (see: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251817271 ). Well she's at it again with this latest Nurses Super PAC story. A couple of DUers here were the first to float this story, which as of today is now being picked up by some of the MSMS. This tells me there must be coordination among the campaign and sounds very similar to how the GOP used to float stories and phrases before making them go mainstream.

What's the story? "OH NOES BERNIE HAS A SUPER PAC!!!11!1"

Except that's note even close to the truth.

They are calling out that the National Nurses Union PAC (not a Super PAC) is has donated the Maximum of 10,000 (an FEC limit) to his campaign and that they have about $500,000 to spend (which they can no longer spend on his campaign).

The propagandists know this is not a Super PAC, a legal difference from a PAC. PACs have been around for a very long time, they are regulated, donations and transparent and monitored by the FEC. Super PACs are the results of Citizens United and they have no limit on the amount of money it can donate or spend for a candidate. And they also know that Clinton has a Super PAC called Priorities USA which has given her campaign millions (just check OpenSecrets).

Please don't buy the bullshit from Campaign Hillary. She played dirty in 2008 (see: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251758204 ). She's going to play dirty now. And she's going to use vast amounts of money from Wall Street to do it.
