Bernie Sanders ratchets up knocks on pro-Clinton super PACs

Sanders tweeted Wednesday that his campaign will "stand with @MoveOn against attacks by David Brock, head of HRC super PAC."

The tweet linked to an MSNBC story on how Brock, the head of a number of pro-Clinton PACs and longtime Clinton operative, wrote in his new book that Move On's efforts to draft liberal Sen. Elizabeth Warren to run for president were "cynical" and "misguided."

Earlier this week, Correct the Record -- a pro-Clinton super PAC that works on messaging and research -- sent an email to the Huffington Post that linked Sanders to Hugo Chavez, the late leader of Venezuela, and Jeremy Corbyn, the new United Kingdom Labour leader. The email was intended to be off-the-record, but the publication published a story on Monday, reporting that they received the email "without any agreement that it would be off the record."

In response, Sanders campaign sent two fundraising emails about the negative attacks against them.

"Yesterday, one of Hillary Clinton's most prominent Super PACs attacked our campaign pretty viciously," read the fundraising email in Sanders' name. "They suggested I'd be friendly with Middle East terrorist organizations, and even tried to link me to a dead communist dictator."

He added, "They'll keep trying ... unless we make them pay a price for their attacks. ... They should not underestimate us."

Later in the day, Jeff Weaver, Sanders' campaign manager, sent a similar fundraising email that said "this will not be the last time a Super PAC considers attacking our campaign."

1. Go get them Bernie. Fight Big Campaign Business.

2. No doubt Hill's folks will say he's going negative.

I garauntee the will, even with a straight face. It will stretch the double thinking though.

You can't at the same time defend Hillary's coordination with the PACS or deny it, while at the same time take issue with an opponent going after the PACS.

The PACs are the problem, and Hillary embraces and coordinates with them.

3. If this isn't the pot calling the kettle black

nothing is.
All the lies posted about Hillary on this board claiming to be about "the issues" and "fact" and now boo hoo hoo Bernie got attacked by a Hollary PAC!
Geez!

5. Yes, because DU posters are on the same level as nationally known pundits..

The only DUer getting facetime on the teevee is a Hillary supporter featured on Fox.

4. well

for those who thought bernie would not fight back against GOP attacks when he wins nomination have been proven wrong.

While Bernie doesn't run negative attack ads he will fight back.

The story is becoming hilary going negative with a sleazy superpac.it defently isn't hurting bernie.
