After a week talking (mostly) about sleazy Republicans, we switch to sleazy Democrats today for a bit on The BradCast<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m joined by great progressive blogger Howie Klein<\/b> of DownWithTyranny.com<\/a>, who is also co-founder of the Blue America PAC<\/a>, to discuss the recent smear<\/a> of Bernie Sanders by a Hillary Clinton-supporting Super PAC, which is not supposed to be coordinating with the Clinton campaign or vice versa. But are they?<\/p>\n

“There’s no chance that it’s not coordinated,” Klein tells me, while admitting he has no hard evidence. “They’ll deny it. It’s illegal. If they admitted it, they would all go to jail. But the Clinton campaign, just like the Republican campaigns of Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina and Ted Cruz and Scott Walker — they’re all coordinating with their SuperPACs.”<\/p>\n

Klein details his assertions and his thoughts on the $1.2 million raised by Sanders<\/a> in response to the smear<\/i>, in the 48 hours after it! <\/p>\n

Also, we discuss the absurd fiction of these so-called “SuperPACs”, the failure of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to do anything about blatant violations of campaign finance laws, and the remarkable hypocrisy of the DNC and the DCCC (Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee) in the wake of the GOP’s latest threat to shut down the government, this time over a pretend Planned Parenthood “controversy”.<\/p>\n

Also today: New York Times<\/i> finally notices<\/a> how the Republican Party has lost touch with reality; Donald Trump’s ingenious “plan” to “save Social Security”; and Desi Doyen joins us with Green News Report<\/i><\/a> coverage of this week’s CNN\/GOP debate and the hottest August ever recorded on Planet Earth…<\/p>\n
