As one who was never terribly enamored of Hillary Clinton's personality to start with, I grudgingly admit to enjoying her recent near-tears transformation. Plenty of critics concede her rarely seen emotion was heartfelt, but also that it was due to the 20-hour-day rigors of the campaign trail, making her perhaps the only candidate ever to win the New Hampshire primary because she needed a nap. Still, it was refreshing to watch her punch through the icy crust of her own phoniness, so that the molten core of artificiality could gush forth...referring to the acronym of his spanking-new anti-Hillary 527 group, Citizens United Not Timid (www.citizensunitednottimid.org).

Now S.P.E.C.T.R.E was a forced acronym, but this one actually makes sense.

So does this mean that using the acronym for Stone's new group, 'Citizens United Not Timid' in our posts will not bring down the wrath of the mods?

Looks like a website set up to sell tees-shirts and nothing else. No position. No message. If this is a tax-free way to peddle clothing then it’s quite a racket.

Yeah but it is a real 527. Only takes 20 minutes to set one up. The possiblities are endless. Obama has one too I think:

I hate to be a wet blanket, but this is disgusting. If this is an actual 527 group designed to help defeat Hillary, the acronym alone can only backfire.
