Is your campaign in trouble? Attack Rush Limbaugh!
***************
Democrats must really be worried about the Massachusetts special election. The DNC dispatched partisan fire-breather Hari Sevugan to help with Martha Coakley's communications strategy. Coakley's in trouble because the Democratic health care bill is unpopular in Massachusetts, Democratic incumbent governor Deval Patrick is a flop, and the unemployment rate is at 8.8 percent.
The rule in politics is to change the subject when your campaign is in trouble. Sure enough, Sevugan wasted no time spilling ink in a desperate attempt to link Republican Scott Brown to Sarah Palin. In last night's debate, Coakley acted as though Brown were just a stand in for George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. And a harsh new Coakley ad tried to connect Brown to Rush Limbaugh--before everyone noticed the campaign had misspelled Massachusetts in the text.
Sevugan's latest hyperpartisan missive says Brown has "made a deal with the devil" by embracing Tea Party principles of low government spending and taxation. The folks concerned about deficits, debt, regulations, spending, and taxes are "extremists" and "radicals," Sevugan says. He tries to tie Brown to Karl Rove, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, and--this is not a joke--the Willie Horton campaign ad from twenty years ago. It's a haunted house of Republican goblins.
Once upon a time, Democratic scare tactics were tied to policy--Don't vote for candidate x, he'll cut Social Security and Medicare! But those were the good old days, I suppose. In the Massachusetts special election, the Coakley campaign wants to frighten Democrats into voting through a simple Pavlovian response. Every time we mention Palin, the campaign strategists must think, we'll frighten another liberal into pulling the lever for Coakley.

The Democrat panic button doesn’t actually say “Panic”. It says “ACORN”.
Desperation time: DSCC suddenly buys $570K in MA ad time ( Republican Brown raises over $1m )
And:
Amazing: Scott Brown about to raise $1 million for the day; Update: Done!
This could actually be almost funny if it weren’t for the reality of how serious it really is. Rush certainly is right when he says libs are more entertaining and more fodder for his show when they are in power. Right now, as they are reaching for everybody’s wallet, the entertainment value is rapidly falling off.
Libs are more entertaining when they’re OUT of power, like nasty impotent chihuahuas.
When they’re IN power, they’re dangerous. And the more power they get, the more dangerous they are, and I’m not just talking about your wallet, but your LIFE.

It’s a haunted house of Republican goblins.
Only problem is the dimocrats forgot to hand out
the 3D glasses.
At least that'd be my first pass at it.
Not to worry. They’ll bus in hordes of ACORN voters and SEIU thugs to intimidate the rest. Croakley will win by a landslide..............
This is no joke. While reading a biography of Hitler the
other night I found out that while the Brown Shirts were
legally banned one of the names they operated under was “The Acorns”.
Yeah, that'll really scare the voters of Taxachusetts out of voting for Brown!.ha!ha!ha!ha!ha!ha!ha!ha!ha!ha!ha!
It might have been funny, but you’re right. It’s not a joke. ACORN is the new Brownshirts.
Ha! Sounds like an unwinnable QUAGMIRE.
That’s what we said in Jersey. The margin of victory was so huge they couldn’t cheat enough. Plus, we weren’t really enthused by Christie-a lot of conservatives held their nose. Nowhere near the excitement Brown has behind him.
That ad would get my attention. Good one.
They hit the panic button when they floating the suggestion that they will hold up his confirmation if he is elected to replace the current “selecTed not elecTed” Senator.
May we hear that psnic button singing on their way out of office.
I have little doubt that the Dems, with help from ACORN, will manufacture all the votes they need to steal the election.
This is Massachussetts after all. A Dem/socialist stronghold.
I think you are “spot on” with your post, and feel the same as much as I wish otherwise. The buses will be running to all the cemeteries to make sure all the good ole Democrat folks get to vote!
