WASHINGTON -- A super PAC backing Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is going negative, circulating an email that yokes her chief rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) to some of the more controversial remarks made by Jeremy Corbyn, the United Kingdom's new Labour Party leader, including his praise for the late Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan leader who provided discounted fuel to Vermont in a deal supported by Sanders.

Clinton's camp has long said it has no plans to attack Sanders. But the super PAC, called Correct the Record, departed from its defense of Clinton's record as a former secretary of state in an email Monday that compares Sanders with Corbyn. Correct the Record, led by Clinton ally David Brock, also has sent trackers after Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.

The Democratic candidates have refrained from criticizing each other directly. Sanders has obliquely knocked Clinton for not stating her position on the Keystone XL pipeline, and hasn't made an issue of her use of a private email server and account while at the State Department. Clinton, in turn, almost never mentions Sanders' name and has focused on her Republican rivals.

Monday's Correct the Record email strays from that pattern. The email, sent to a Huffington Post reporter in response to an article about Corbyn and Sanders without any agreement that it would be off the record, was meant to flag Corbyn's "most extreme comments." Among those was the suggestion that the assassination of Osama bin Laden was "a tragedy," since there was no attempt to arrest the former al Qaeda leader and put him on trial. The email also cites Corbyn's comment that he'd invite his "friends" from Hezbollah to come to the U.K. to discuss peace in the Middle East and an editorial in which he said that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's "attempt to encircle Russia is one of the big threats of our time."

1. Wow! This happened to Obama too, with that reverend whatever his name was.

This means that Bernie is finally being taken seriously.

But how on earth is Bernie connected to Corbyn?

Oh...............(shudder) they must be (gasp) fellow travelers!

4. David Brock has really destroyed his credibility with me

when Media Matters first launched, I was a staunch supporter in terms of promoting their daily analysis on the media during Kerry's campaign, and on media bs concerning the Invasion of Iraq. I hadn't figured them to be tools for HRC even though they did a lot to defend her attackers during her Senate tenure. but they showed their colors in that regard a long time ago, and if what is excerpted above is the best they've got wrt Corbyn's positions on the issues mentioned in the OP.

Well... I'm sorry David Brock, but you just don't get it. AT ALL.

CLUELESS.

6. Lessing speaks on campaign finance reform and Super Pacs and now an article on Super Pacs.

Wow, maybe I should vote for him instead of Bernie...

If I didn't know better, I would think is part of a political scheme to dilute the vote for Bernie and deliver the primary to Clinton.

8. Lessig has a SuperPAC, Sanders doesn't.

10. Ex-congressman Joe Kennedy praises Hugo Chavez’s charity

Former congressman Joe Kennedy (D-Mass.) is mourning the death of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez today, praising Chavez as someone who made a difference for poor people.

Kennedy told the AP that Chavez helped 2 million Americans through a heating assistance program that the two men worked on together through Kennedy's Citizen's Energy charity. Kennedy said Chavez donated 200 million gallons of heating oil over eight years.

Kennedy also said that "some of the wealthiest people on our planet have more money than they can ever reasonably expect to spend."

But, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump came out and slammed Kennedy if this was pointed out. He's already trashed Caroline Kennedy who endorsed Obama. The whole Trump thing is a little puzzling, when you looks at the way things have transpired it really makes you think ... what exactly is going on? Who is helping who and who is working together?

11. Politicians are so dirty. They let the SuperPacs do the dirty work so they can keep their

hands clean. It's no wonder so many Americans hate politics and don't vote.
