The rabid right-wing beast behind "Stop Hillary PAC" and assorted other right-wing degradations wants his copycat nemesis to acknowledge his "legal brilliance."by KenIt appears that the doody-sucking beast Dan Backer wants a thank you, specifically from Hillary Clinton. As reported by the Washington Post's "In the Loop" team ("Dan Backer has an anti-Hillary PAC -- and says Clinton owes him a heartfelt 'thank you'"), the Rabid Beast Backer, architect of the Stop Hillary PAC is tickled to note that his sworn enemy has had formed on her behalf a PAC called Ready for Hillary which follows the "hybrid PAC" model he himself concocted for use by criminally insane right-wing causemakers.The Loopsters explain this "hybrid PAC" deal as --
the newish tool that allows a political committee to raise and spend unlimited cash to boost or take down a candidate while also giving a limited amount to the candidates themselves. In other words, it’s both a super PAC and a traditional one.
Now we just need to know a bit more about the Rabid Beast Backer. In addition to being "the treasurer behind the group opposed to a Hillary Rodham Clinton candidacy," he --
is also an activist attorney who happens to be the intellectual architect of hybrid PACs. As the lead counsel on the relevant federal case, he was responsible for getting them legalized. (He was also a top lawyer on this year’s McCutcheon v. FEC Supreme Court case, which he also won.)
And the Rabid Beast Backer's credits don't end there.
Backer is the listed treasurer for about 40 PACs, most of them hybrids. Some are legitimate operations, raising real money. Others have accounts of a few thousand dollars. Stop Hillary PAC has raised nearly half a million dollars since last summer. Backer also helps run a Stop Pelosi PAC and a Stop R.E.I.D. PAC, for non-fans of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). Those entities, Backer says, are designed to build an army of opposition to the Democrats’ deep political operations.“Stop Hillary will oppose those candidates and fight against those who will be part of the Hillary network,” Backer said. “And the biggest thing the PAC will do is remind people that Hillary the brand is bulls---.”
Meanwhile the Rabid Beast Backeris waiting for appropriate recognition from his nemesis, telling the Loop:
I did not get a thank you. They're taking advantage of our legal brilliance.
NOW THIS IS ALL PRETTY SLIMYThis hybrid PAC he unleashed on the fund-raising world is desiged to dig to new depths in the toxic swamp of campaign filth, and he's certainly entitled to recognize the irony when his sworn enemy sinks to his own level. And it is pretty loathsome, but that's where we are in Campaigworld USA 2014 and Counting. Are the doody wranglers of Big Campaign Finance supposed to willingly turn their backs on any scheme within the elastic confines of the law?"Backer clearly aims to be provocative," the Loopsters note.
He’s accused the pro-Hillary team of criminal activity over its use of a mailing list from Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign. He said Wednesday that her “primary achievement in life is getting her a-- kicked by Barack Obama.” When he launched Stop Hillary, he released a confrontational Web video, highlighting, of course, Benghazi.
There's an additional note of scumbag black comedy. The Loopsters report that at least so far the Rabid Beast Backer's ScamPACs haven't been dishing tons of moolah.
So far, Stop Hillary has given $25 each to five federal candidates, an amount too small to show up on its campaign finance reports. Stop Pelosi gave just $250 to Alex Mooney, a GOP congressional candidate in West Virginia, in from the $32,084 it has raised. The R.E.I.D PAC, which Backer says stands for “Stop Reckless Economic Instability caused by Democrats,” raised $3,728 and had not donated to specific campaigns as of the last FEC filing — but Backer said it gave to five candidates in Nevada in April. Most of the money raised by his political committees has been spent on fundraising expenses — spending the money raised to raise more money. [Emphasis added]
But what the hey? There's gotta be some shekels in it for the doody shovelers themselves, no?On the question of a thank you for the Rabid Beast Backer, to, the Loopsters got a no comment from from Ready for Hillary spokesman Seth Bringman. But I would say that if the rabid beast is really hungry for a thank you from his enemies, it's not entirely outside the realm of possibility.All he has to do is announce that he has been taking stock of his life's work of turning the earth into the living hell dreamt of by his master, Satan, and as a result he has come to the painful realization that he has reached the point where the only possible course of action, as with any rabid beast, is for him to be put down. And therefore he has risen to the occasion to do the deed himself, whereupon he douses himself with gasoline and lights his carcass into kingdom come.Sooner would be better.#
