Liberals on social media criticized attacks against Bernie Sanders by a pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC that compared the Clinton competitor to notorious anti-American socialists in Europe and South America.
“David Brock is a cheap ******* mercenary, all he did was switch sides,” said progressive writer Adam Johnson on Monday in response to a Huffington Post report on the new attacks from the Brock-run Super PAC Correct the Record.
The group sent an email to supporters on Monday comparing Sanders to Jeremy Corbyn, the new UK Labour Party leader, who has compared U.S. actions in Iraq to those of the self-proclaimed Islamic State, among other anti-American comments.
The Correct the Record email highlighted Corbyn calling Osama bin Laden’s death “a tragedy” and members of terrorist group Hezbollah his “friends,” according to the Huffington Post.
It also noted an overlap between Corbyn’s and Sanders’ support for the regime of the late socialist Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. Sanders brokered a deal in 2006 that imported Venezuelan heating oil.
Some prominent Democrats quickly criticized the attacks.
But because its a SuperPAC, is is illegal for Hillary or her campaign to coordinate with them in any way. So she can say she has nothing to do with this.
The Democrat Party of Diversity where only the Anointed one, “It’s her Turn Hillary” shall ONLY be the nominee.
Meanwhile those mean evil non-diverse republicans have nearly 20 nominees from various cultures and races running....
Note to Hillary: Attacking your base doesn’t work...ask your brother Jeb.
Ultimate It’s-Time-For-Popcorn Time, ready to go green light.
