"Legendary" GOP Strategist Launches Hillary Namecalling Effort

A couple of days ago, a group called Citizens United Not Timid filed papers with the IRS as a "527" organization. Then we saw that Roger Stone had signed on as the group's "assistant treasurer." Uh oh.

Stone, regular TPM readers know, is a Republican operative who prides himself as something of an elder statesman of GOP dirty tricks. He went to work for Richard Nixon at age nineteen, making him the "youngest Watergate dirty trickster." He continues to idolize the man, even sporting a tattoo of Nixon's face between his shoulder blades. On his website, the StoneZone, he proudly touts Nixon's endorsement of him as "one of the very few excellent political professionals."

His career with the GOP took off from there, leading to spots with Ronald Reagan's campaigns, Bob Dole's presidential campaign, two of Sen. Arlen Specter's (R-PA) campaigns (Specter reportedly counts him as a friend), among others. James Baker tapped him to lead street protests in Florida to shut down the recount in 2000. Most recently, he was hired by New York Republicans for their battle with Gov. Elliot Spitzer (D), a gig that exploded when he was accused of making a threatening phone call to Spitzer's 83 year-old father (Stone denied it).

So what's Stone up to? Fortunately, he laid the whole scheme out to The Weekly Standard.

It's this simple: it's all about the group's acronym, which, used in conjunction with Hillary Clinton, is supposed to be irresistibly humorous. That is the beginning and the end of it. The group will not be running ads in any form and will not be making any robocalls. They'll be making T-shirts.

That's going to go over real well.

:eyes:

What was that about the Republican Party being the party of the adults?

--p!

Good catch.

..or pretty much anyone can register anything

If they get any publicity, they are going to wish they hadn't been so infantile, because when the backlash cometh... :evilgrin:

Stone funded Sharpton in South Carolina in 2004.
Weekly standard praised Obama's stand on abortion (posted with pride on DU)

the most vile of the Hilary haters in the 90's. He talked and talked and pouted and never made much leeway because he was so obviously vile and angry.

Makes you really wonder how much Stone and friends, plus Bossie types - hate women more than political enemies.

kind of took a turn for the worse when he starting harassing Spitzers father. Fortunately with that stupid acronym I don't think it's going to help him. This guy is a total piece of shit and even republicans are running from him if my sources are correct. Then again repukes are pretty notorious for pretending to disavow someone or something only to give him a royal reacharound in the dark of a public restroom.

since they've used that word and others to describe her here. Maybe they can sue him for stealing their meme.

....that's just too over the top ridiculous for even a piece of shit like Roger Stone. :puke:

it presents (for me), but I will defend her against all fools in those orchestrated batallions on the right.

I don't even have a pinch of pity for them.
