When the Internets legions of Hillary hecklers steal away to chat rooms and Facebook pages to vent grievances about Clinton, express revulsion toward Clinton and launch attacks on Clinton, they now may find themselves in a surprising place confronted by a multimillion dollar super PAC working with Clinton.

Well organized and paid speech-suppression, bullying and intimidation like this won’t play well, especially when done on behalf of a candidate with the reputation Hillary has.

The next step will be to identify posters who are not already self identified and then confront prominent ones on the street and at their residences. This will fit nicely with the summer of violence the Left has planned for the US.

Will someone explain to me please how this Super PAC is supposed to stop anyone from posting things unflattering to Hillary? Why would anybody be intimidated into not posting anything negative. I don’t get this.

All her opposition needs to do is post a picture of the hag in response. “A picture says a thousand words” I understand, and in her case all bad.
