Direct coordination is a violation of election law. Surely you know this. And surely you know the linked document does not show direct coordination. If not maybe we could open a thread on campaign finance 101.

Surely you know that David Brock, Hillary Clinton and Correct the Record disagree with your claim, surely....

Hillary Clinton's campaign intends to coordinate directly with a newly formed super PAC able to receive unlimited donations, according to a Washington Post report.

"Direct coordination" is a term of art in the field. If you meant "legally coordinate in a way specifically allowed for under FEC rules" then you should not have used the phrase "Direct coordination". Even the click baiting headline writer new better than to use them in that order.

Your fact-challenged, tired schtick is not swaying one reader, I bet. You might gain more traction if you posted on the Sean Hannity forum, or somewhere else antithetical to critical thinking.
 
I'm willing to be swayed that Sid is the devil. I really don't know much about him. But, so far I haven't seen any evidence that he is so bad that associating with him makes Hillary unfit for the job. Present your best shot, assume we know nothing and let loose. This dribble of innuendo is not doing anything.

Yup -- I'm aware that he's a sleazy political operative. And this is my <gaping yawn>.

Curious, not only did you cut off my detailed response to darat, you ignored my lesson regarding Campaign funding and coordination between correct the record and the Hillary Campaign.

Yet you call MY posts "fact-challenged"?

REMARKABLE, particularly when coupled with the smug comment about critical thinking which is hands down the most ironic thing I have seen all week.

Kudos!

"direct coordination" is a term of art, but coordinate directly means something else?

'k! ( Talk about your made up, fact free claims, holy cripes!)

Let take a gander.... http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-id...=true&node=pt11.1.109&rgn=div5#se11.1.109_121

hmmmm the term of art "direct coordination" does not appear in the reg.

Oh Dr. Keith, you DO have us on.

The scare quotes aren't helping your posts.

its cool, those are just regular old quotes.

Remember when Hillary lied and said that (after Obama vetoed Blumenthal's hiring at State) he was just an "old friend" that sent "unsolicited" emails out of the friendliness of his heart.

Curious that she didn't mention the fact the bum was on the payroll, huh?

I hate when politicians like Hillary lie to us, don't you?

From the CBS story you linked above:

Though Federal Election Commission (FEC) rules prohibit direct coordination between super PACs and declared candidates, Correct the Record believes it will be able to coordinate with Clinton without violating campaign finance regulations.

Correct the Record spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement. "This exception has been relied upon countless times by organizations raising non-federal money. The only thing unique about Correct the Record is that it is making its contributors and expenditures public."

So, you want to make a fuss about them being more open than other PACs that have used this exception, that is fine. Criticize their transparency. It just seems an odd thing to criticize this candidate for.

Man, if only Sid hadn't given Asher his business card there would be no record of what Sid said to Asher.

But that business card is all the contemporaneous evidence we need, it pretty clearly shows exactly what Sid said at the time. Better than any notes, or contemporaneous communications with colleagues. This was all pre text and pre email, so there is no way such records would exist, only handwritten scribbles that would be impossible to authenticate.

Like on 9/11 when all the TV channels were showing the rooftop celebrations by thousands of muslims in NJ, but no one had the technology to record them.

It was different time.

Has FOX retrieved the recording from the business card yet?

Uhh, I was just chasing to ground your silly claims that Brock/Sid the Shiv are not coordinating with Hilly.

Not directly coordinating, as would be in violation of FEC rules. As clearly stated in the article you quoted:

Though Federal Election Commission (FEC) rules prohibit direct coordination between super PACs and declared candidates, Correct the Record believes it will be able to coordinate with Clinton without violating campaign finance regulations.

Which words are you having the most trouble with?

Then we can follow up with why we should concerned with Sid. Is he Joe Paterno bad or did he just work for Putin puppets in the Ukraine?
