Anti-Hillary Clinton Group Refuses to Change Name, Defying FEC Order

The Federal Election Commission, which is tasked with enforcing campaign finance law, has ordered the Stop Hillary PAC to cease incorporating Mrs. Clinton’s name in its own or face penalties.

At issue is a federal rule barring independent groups from incorporating or using the name of a candidate for federal office in their own names. The rule is designed to protect voters from mistaking independent groups such as PACs and super PACs with official campaigns.

Dan Backer, a lawyer for Stop Hillary, argues that the word “Stop” in the committee’s name already precludes any confusion and that no supporter of Mrs. Clinton would mistakenly send a donation to a group called “Stop Hillary.”

“It is hard to fathom who exactly it is that is so lacking in basic concepts (perhaps not even knowing what the definition of ‘is’, is?) that to them the use of the verb ‘STOP’ immediately preceding the clear object to be stopped, ‘HILLARY’ demonstrates anything other than clear opposition to that object,” Mr. Backer wrote to the FEC.

Laughter. As the FEC shows its inability to understand English (charitably) or how far it is in the tank (accurately), either way, it’s funny. A bit sad with the second one, but par for the course.

They could change it to:
Stop the wife of Monica Lewinski’s boyfriend

No rules, only laws with specificity passed by Congress.

The Committee to Defeat Monica Lewinski’s Boyfriend’s Wife

[Chode]

stop THE BEAST!

[CharlesOConnell]

Of course, you'd want to acknowledge that Monica was a victim. The old presumption of statutory rape was that below a certain age a child wasn't presumed capable of consent; and in a relationship like the President had with an Intern, there is a fair presumption of compulsion. You see this with Cougars, that their young men victims are willing; but that doesn't excuse the behvior of the older person, who is supposed to protect younger people from their own propensity for foolishness. So Monica wasn't technically his girlfriend.

Rosie O'Donald?

The Committee to Defeat Monica Lewinski’s Boyfriend’s Wife

I like it. Though we're missing the state department foul-ups. What could be added?

[GraceG]

“Stop Hillary PAC”

There are a LOT of people named Hillary, Doesn’t the FEC know this?

[GraceG]

Current Name: Stop Hillary PAC

I suggest:

1st Choice: Stop Hillary Clinton PAC

2nd Choice: Stop Hillary Rodham Clinton PAC

3rd Choice: Stop Hillary “Her Thighness” Rodham Clinton PAC

Just keep adding to the name....

[GraceG]

Kinda makes me want to start my own PAC.....

“Screw the FEC PAC”

If they complain about the name I will name it something that the FCC will have to complain about...

“F___k the FEC PAC “

Then when the FCC complains, imma change it to

“F___k the FEC and the Sh_t bags at the FCC too PAC”

[aimhigh]

Stops Cankles PAC

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

“Defeat the Hildabeast” PAC.

[Impala64ssa]

Yeah, it's called the STOP Hillary PAC, how much clearer is it to anyone with basic literary skills where they stand? Blatant partisanship on the part of the FEC? Or have we been so pathetically dumbed down? Or both?

[Farmer Dean]

Change it to Burn the Witch.Most people will know what we’re talking about.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

How about “The Committee to Defeat the Wife of Mr. Cigar-Dipper, Adulterer and Alleged Rapist”?

Or, “The Committee to Defeat the Disappearing E-mails Momma and Bump In the Road Bitch”?

[Mercat]

Maybe Stop the HildeKraken PAC

[telstar12.5]

“StopThe Bitch” should work
