Blumenthal camp aids group’s attack on McMahon (working with Planned Parenthood)

Staff members for state Attorney General Richard Blumenthal’s U.S. Senate campaign assisted Planned Parenthood when the agency asked for photos of women wrestlers in order to launch an attack on Linda McMahon, the campaign confirmed Friday.

McMahon’s campaign accused Blumenthal’s of cooperating with the women’s health organization in election activities.

While nonprofit and for-profit groups can spend money on campaigns, a result of the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, they are not allowed to coordinate efforts on paid political advertisements.

Earlier this week, the state Democratic Party filed a complaint with the FEC charging coordinated campaign activity between McMahon and World Wrestling Entertainment, run by her husband, Vince.

“It was just yesterday that the Blumenthal-funded state Democratic Party filed a frivolous complaint alleging coordination — despite the fact that they had no evidence,” said McMahon spokesman Ed Patru in an e-mail.

“Today, there is clear and incriminating evidence that Dick Blumenthal is not only engaged in potentially illegal coordination, but that he is a politician who will stop at nothing to hold onto power.

Be afraid.

I think the voter fraud this year will be unlike anything we have previously seen.

It is illegal to use taxpayer property and funds to support a candidate! File a complaint, demand an investigation and prosecution of the violators.

I complained to the Secretary of State’s office when this tactic was used by our school district superintendent back in the 1980’s when he was supporting the RAT candidate for governor over the sitting Republican Governor. Our schools were being used as a telephone bank for the Superintendent’s chosen candidate. I called the Governor’s office and reported the illegal activity. The Secretary of State’s office called me for facts and they shut it down pronto!

The second the Democrat opponent from the President on down accuses their Republican opponent with claims their doing something illegal their response should be..

“(Repeat, questioning whatever is charged ?) We didn’t think of doing this but,,,We’ve ordered our staff to look into if what (insert name) is doing because they probably are...(repeat the charge)”

Take the gloves off and stop acting so gentlemanly.

Richard Home Blumenthal will start acting out erratically and bitch slapping the air with his bent wrist.

Expose him.

Planned Parenthood is a “ women’s health organization?”

I have to agree with you. The RATs are going to pull out every one of their dirty tricks to try and retain power. It would be comforting to think that there would be some recourse in place, but that just ain’t the case with O’Bammy, Holder & crew calling the shots.

Blumenthal supporter reaches new frontier in sexual pleasure, thanks to Planned Parenthood.

"I'm into sexual experimentation. So Planned Parenthood suggested
I attach sex toys to a saber saw blade, then high-power my partner."
