This Democratic Senate wannabe [Gary Peters] just picked a fight with a mother who has cancer

Last week, The Washington Post began grumbling about an Americans for Prosperity (AFP) ad featuring Julie Boonstra, a woman with leukemia who was thrown into expensive uncertainty by Obamacare, with Greg Sargent lamenting the tragedy of its effectiveness and Glenn Kessler asking for more proof. (BEDFORD: The Post is pretty worried about the people Obamacare hurts)

Then Rep. Gary Peters, who is the running for the U.S. Senate in Michigan, went all-in Friday, having his lawyers send a letter to a Michigan television station citing the Post in demanding that AFP provide more evidence that Obamacare is as terrible as it really is. Mr. Peters’ lawyers wrote that “Unlike federal candidates, independent political organizations” — and by extension, Ms. Boonstra — don’t have a “right to command use of broadcast facilities.” They clinched with a threat that airing the ad could “be cause for the loss of a station’s license.”

Such a loyal little fascist! What more could the Democrats want?

Democrats are whiney little $hits. Here in Illinois the Unions are financing a PAC called Illinois Freedom Pac. They are targeting the Republican front runner, a businessman. You don't hear Rauner whining like Peters. I hope Levin's PAC responds in kind to Peters.

Peters wants to make sure the woman can’t appeal the ruling from the Death Panel that Peters voted for.

I've seen it on TV, it goes to the heart of obamacare and the people it is devastating to. and the lives it destroys and or kills....

And his republican opponent is a female (Terri Land) who is already leading him in the polls.

Very good ad. My heart breaks for this woman. May she live a long, healthy life despite this. Prayers up.

If we learn nothing else from this; it should be that there are nothing but crickets when it comes to criticism from his Democrat buddies.
If only conservatives could ever learn not to eat their own and stick it to the establishment.

[Viennacon]

Literally, a moron. He deserves to lose, and I hope he does. Little pig faced brownshirt.

[wetgundog]

Gary Peters you are SCUM. and out of a job Soon. Go blow your brains out.

[ExCTCitizen]

Gary Peters needs to meet the Senate Death Panel - a tea party candidate. He is a Marxist.

I saw the lawyer letter. What kind of lawyer uses a Washington Post editorial as part of a legal argument regarding "truth?"

That was just pure intimidation tactics. Knowing AFP's Scott Hagerstrom, that's going to just piss him off.

BTW - Terri Lynn Land for Senate

They clinched with a threat that airing the ad could “be cause for the loss of a station’s license.”

Try it PUNKS! There is a reckoning coming for thugs like you and your ilk. Hopefully it will involve pain.

[Fledermaus]

A lawyer that should be disbarred.
