    Rachel Maddow Blows The Lid Off Republican Scheme To Rip Off Seniors

    In this clip, Rachel Maddow takes on the Republican National Committee for their use of Ted Cruz-esque fake fundraising scams, bullying their old and feeble-minded voting base into donating them money by way of

    fake mailers that make vague threats about “delinquent bills” and “past due” forms masquerading as bills and other such cheap and petty scams.

    It just goes to show how little the Republican Party respects their loyal voters and how cruel and exploitative the Republican establishment truly is. Not only do they consistently wreck the economies and livelihoods of the people they ostensibly represent, they don’t even have the stones to call them and ask for money directly – they’re reduced to cheap tricks more appropriate for a junkie than a political party.

    Watch it here:

    ""There's a special, extra-hot place in for anybody who tries to scam the elderly, let alone scare them, even if it's not for some B.S. political reason.

    This is for a B.S. political reason, though.

    And this is my opinion, but, I think this is disgusting.

    And I think the Republican National Committee should stop doing it."

    It might even be illegal.

    http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-...ross-the-line/

    With Reiman’s permission I forwarded the mailing to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the post office’s law-enforcement arm. A spokesman said they had reports of the same mailing from other parts of the country.

    The inspection service said by email Friday that it is “currently reviewing the complaint, but no determinations have been made.”

    The agency’s website says sending a fundraising appeal disguised as an invoice is illegal.

    “ le 39, United States Code, Section 3001, makes it illegal to mail a solicitation in the form of an invoice, bill, or statement of account due unless it con uously bears a notice on its face that it is, in fact, merely a solicitation,” the agency’s website says. “This disclaimer must be in very large (at least 30-point) type and must be in boldface capital letters in a color that contrasts prominently with the background against which it appears.”

    None of these disclaimers is in the Republican National Committee’s pretend delinquency notice.
    Honest Abe would be proud.

    I would be ok with Bernie even though I don't agree with some of his economic policy.

    yep, Repugs compromise, corrupt everything they touch.

    Why pick on Hillary when LOTS of other officials have used private email for official business?

    Hillary is by far the worst candidate on the field, and she's the worst Democratic candidate in almost 30 years since Dukakis in 1988.

    I don't remember Dukakis all that well, but John Kerry was pretty terrible. From an electability standpoint, she's got a lot more enthusiasm behind her than Kerry could ever muster.

    Do you think she'd have that level of enthusiasm if she were a white man?

    I don't think she would have either the level of enthusiasm or the amount of contempt if that were the case.

    Dukakis got raped by Lee A er in one of the slimiest elections ever. On a positive note, A er was dead three years later.

    Fair point; which honestly sounds a lot like John Kerry circa 2004.

    ... who would have kicked dubya and head out, if The Great American People hadn't bought the Repug bull "don't changed Presidents in (the President's own bogus) war). dubya won by the smallest margin ever for an in bent Pres.

    The sloppy crusade to destroy Hillary Clinton: Why did Washington Post really run its bogus FBI report?


    Earlier this week you might have heard a story floating around the Internet that claimed the FBI has 147 agents working on the investigation into the handling of classified do ents on Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

    Good Lord and butter,you might have thought. The FBI didn’t have that many agents chasing John Dillinger! They must already have Hillary’s cell ready at Supermax!



    The source of this story was a Washington Post deep dive on the server story. After the article was published, the Post had to append a correction that read, in part,

    [A]n earlier version of this article reported that 147 FBI agents had been detailed to the investigation, according to a lawmaker briefed by FBI Director James B. Comey. [Emphasis added] Two U.S. law enforcement officials have since told The Washington Post that figure is too high. The FBI will not provide an exact figure, but the officials say the number of FBI personnel involved is fewer than 50.

    I wonder which member of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, which first uncovered the email server during its investigation of the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in that Libyan city, was the anonymous — and only — source of a claim that made the Democrats’ leading presidential candidate sound like Bonnie Parker with a security clearance?

    It would be irresponsible to point fingers, though my su ions would fall on a lawmaker whose name rhymes with Grey Towdy, and who has been accused in the past of leaking made-up garbage to the press to make Clinton look bad.

    The Kerry campaign made his campaign about Bush and not about Kerry. It's on them. Bush was still riding pretty good public opinion in the aftermath of 9/11 and the start of the war, but the vocal majority of Democrats seemed to think hysteria over Bush/Cheney would win over a moderate voting public.

    Yeah it was a classic case of neither candidate being able to run on their own record.
