BREAKING: HILLARY PREPARING TO GO MASSIVELY NEGATIVE AGAINST BIDEN USING HER WALL ST FUNDED SUPERPAC

[Halliburton]

If Joe Biden jumps into the Democratic primary, Hillary Clinton will be ready to go on the offensive. According to a Clinton campaign source, a team of opposition researchers working on behalf of Clinton is currently digging through Biden’s long record in office to develop attack lines in case the vice-president runs. The research effort started about a month ago and is being conducted by operatives at Correct the Record, the pro-Hillary superpac founded by David Brock, which is coordinating with the Clinton campaign. According to the source, the research has turned up material on Biden’s ties to Wall Street; his reluctance to support the raid that killed Osma bin Laden; and his role in the Anita Hill saga as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

I thought the campaign wanted to reduce her unfavorable ratings?

1. They might want to be careful about beating him up over his "ties to Wall Street"

Pot, meet kettle.

Is she just stupid or is she getting advice from stupid people? Either way it doesn't reflect particularly well on her.

[sabrina 1]

25. David Brock is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so this ought to be fun. If his efforts

on Biden backfire as spectacularly as they did on Bernie, Biden won't need Corporate Funding, he can count on Brock to raise the funds he needs!

This is all political theater, intended to distract from the issues, keep the people focused on the PERSONALITIES rather than on the ISSUES.

They are ALL friends, Bdien, the Clintons, Trump et al.

Not interested in the show.

I know who MY candidate is and nothing they do is going to change that.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

33. What it does reflect well is the fact that Hillary's campaign is slowly circling the drain. Go Bernie!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[magical thyme]

2. hmmm...may be time to start an email campaign begging Biden to run for the good of the country.

[azmom]

3. Massively negative is right. The story

About Biden's son dying wish is disgusting.

[oasis]

5. Please let us know of any inside info you have on this. (eom)

[Aerows]

10. Fox News "exclusive"

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/10/06/biden-reportedly-shared-details-on-dying-sons-wish-run-for-president/

I hope you are proud of yourself for bringing this up, because frankly, it is a rancid and tainted way to attack Joe Biden. Trading in grief and heartbreak like this is morbid.

[oasis]

19. That would be #3 poster to whom you should direct you "outrage".

She's the one who brought it up. I was merely requesting follow up information on her post.

[HereSince1628]

23. Well, the story was included on NBC this evening...I guess they just repeat memes

of Fox.

[dsc]

12. well who did tell it to Dowd then?

Assuming she didn't just make it up (which to be fair given Dowd's behavior isn't totally out of the realm of possibilty) just who did tell this to her? Let's be blunt if Hillary had done such a thing the screams would be so loud and so long as to be deafening.

[hifiguy]

15. Dowd sees and believes a lot of things

after her tenth cosmopolitan.

[dsc]

18. again I don't put it past her to have made this up

but if she didn't, the universe of those who could have told her, isn't huge.

[hifiguy]

4. The arrogance, ruthlessness and nastiness of the Clintons

is extensively documented in the historical record.

There is no depth to which they will not sink.

[FlatBaroque]

7. And remember

No one who is this hungry for power ever seeks that power in order to do GOOD things

[hifiguy]

9. I have repeatedly said that no one who wants the presidency

as much as HRH does should ever come within a parsec of the WH.

She's been running for more than 20 years - even longer than Nixon ran for the office. And her similarities to Nixon become more apparent each and every day. The sense of entitlement, the willingness to say absolutely anything to advance her cause, even if what is said today is a direct contradiction of something said yesterday, the ruthlessness, the paranoia - right down to the enemies list, the secrecy and doubletalk.

Jebus, we have been down this disastrous road before.

[mylye2222]

20. K n R.

[AtomicKitten]

21. +++

[tularetom]

31. That's the truest post I've read here in a long time

You've really nailed it. Nixon in a pantsuit.

If she comes out and informs us that she is not a crook I'm going to .

[senz]

41. +100 The similarities are pretty amazing. nt

[MissDeeds]

13. +1000

No way will The Clinton Machine suffer another loss without pulling out all the stops. But this time the public is on to them. Their nasty, deceitful tactics will backfire like it did last time when it resulted in Bernie getting over a million dollars in donations.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

34. The Hillary campaign reaks of desperation. Just a matter of time before the Hillary train details completely.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[TwilightGardener]

6. Trying to scare him out before he gets in.

If I were him, I'd announce and run just to spite her.

[deadlinetony]

8. Hitting Biden when he's not running. Smart move.

It only proves Bernie correct.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

35. yup yup...Hillary's too smart for her own good.

[randome]

11. Well, I guess 'a Clinton campaign source' must be right!

I mean he/she has never been proven wrong before. (The all-CAPS is a nice touch, though. It lends gravitas to the report.)
[hr][font color="blue"][center]All things in moderation, including moderation.[/center][/font][hr]

[Control-Z]

14. The "BREAKING"

was a nice touch too. Ya gotta wonder which unnamed source this was.

I wonder if it's the same unnamed source in this story:

Hillary Clinton Approaches Debate, And Bernie Sanders, With Caution - NYT

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251651783

Could the two stories conflict more regarding Clinton tactics?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

16. Biden who?

[Metric System]

17. This is a normal aspect of politics practiced by everyone (including Biden if he enters). Note:

"In 2007, Barack Obama's campaign aides worked hard to portray the Illinois senator as above the usual political sniping. But when Ryan Lizza visited Obama's headquarters that summer, he saw a whiteboard listing several negative stories about Hillary Clinton and John Edwards — paired with the names of reporters or news organizations the campaign apparently intended to feed these stories to. Despite the lofty rhetoric, Obama was running an operation with little fear of the dark arts of electoral politics."

http://www.vox.com/2015/10/6/9464357/joe-biden-authentic

[Jim Lane]

38. I agree, and it's not "dark arts"

I wouldn't fault Clinton for commissioning oppo research on a potentially dangerous competitor.

I also wouldn't fault her campaign (or Obama's) for feeding stories to reporters. That's pretty much an accepted part of contemporary politics.

[DCBob]

22. "according to the source".. this sounds so tabloidy.

[MineralMan]

24. Yet another "unnamed source."

I call bullshit on this and all other unsourced wishful thinking.

[HooptieWagon]

26. Of course. He's her immediate threat.

[DonCoquixote]

30. if ther eis any truith to this

she is suicidal.

SHE NEEDS OBAMA SUPPORTERS, PERIOD. IF she attacks Biden, she attacks Obama, and those people that supported her will see her attacking Obama, which is to say, do you really want to piss them off Hill?

[ucrdem]

32. I'd be surprised if there was so much as a glimmer of a glimmer.

I've read a lot of inane tabloid headlines while standing in checkout lines and this seems cut from the same cloth.

[SoapBox]

36. Oh I hope so...

It'll just show how nasty she is, even if it's via Brock's site. However his last bit of Brain Surgery against Bernie raised a million in donations!

Remember all your own baggage Hill...LOTS of baggage.

[Gloria]

37. All his stuff is out there, so don't make this sound like a vicious attack...

It's part of politics and this will remind those who have forgotten...

[Samantha]

39. Only the politically walking dead is not familiar with these Biden stories

Who do you think resurrected the plagiarism issue that prompted Biden to drop out in 1988 from the Presidential run? When that aired today, I immediately jumped to the conclusion it was Correct the Record (no links, just gut). Of course, it could have been one of the Republicans -- or maybe even O'Malley's camp. He would stand less chance of moving up if Biden joins the race.

What is your guess?

40. About a week ago, the NYTimes ran a similar piece that corroborates this.

"Hillary Clinton Camp Is Making Moves to Check Joe Biden"

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/01/us/politics/hillary-clinton-camp-begins-to-fear-run-by-joe-biden.html

[mhatrw]

42. Go ugly early, Hillary.

My guess is that this has been leaked by a Clinton operative to keep Biden out of the race.
