NRA OUTRAGED BY CARSON MAILER
Democrats Slammed for Blatant Attempt to Mislead Oklahoma Voters; Oklahoma Democratic Party Mailer Lists Carsons HQ on Return Address
Muskogee In a statement released last night by Christopher Cox, chief lobbyist for the National Rifle Association, the nations leading 2nd Amendment organization, has denounced a mailing put out by Brad Carson and the Oklahoma Democratic Party.
The mailer, designed to discredit with Oklahoma voters Dr. Coburns perfect record on the 2nd Amendment, continues the smear campaign of Brad Carson and his liberal allies even after Carson has publicly denounced negative campaigning to the media.
Chris Coxs statement is as follows:
This is a blatant attempt to mislead Oklahoma voters. The NRA did not make an endorsement in the Oklahoma Senate race. The Oklahoma Democratic Party must cease and desist this campaign of deception. The NRA remains neutral in this race but reserves the right to get involved if the need arises.
Even as Brad Carson piously denounces negative campaigning, he and his liberal allies continue to spread blatant lies and half-truths, Coburn spokesman John Hart said. The real question is why Brad Carson continues to portray himself as a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment while at the same time accepting thousands of dollars from California Senator Dianne Feinstein, a champion of the Clinton Gun Ban. San Francisco values are not Oklahoma values, but that appears to be lost on Brad Carson.
Thanks,

I need your help! If you know anyone in the State of Oklahoma, please forward this to them. We need to get the word out that Carson is nothing but a liberal liar! Dr. Tom is a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment.
It is one of the nastiest flyers I have received and probably the most deceitful.
Thanks,
PKM

OKLAHOMA NRA BUMP!!!

Stay safe Mom !
Statement from Chris W. Cox,
NRA Chief Lobbyist and NRA-PVF Chairman,
on Oklahoma Senate Race
Friday, October 29, 2004
FAIRFAX, VA - The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) gave A ratings to both Tom Coburn and Brad Carson in the Oklahoma Senate race. However, neither candidate received the endorsement for the general election.
The Oklahoma Democratic Party has a mailing to Oklahoma gun owners and hunters with misleading information concerning an NRA-PVF endorsement. This is a blatant attempt to mislead Oklahoma voters.
The Oklahoma Democratic Party must cease and desist this campaign of deception. The NRA remains neutral in this race thus far, but reserves the right to get involved if our position continues to be distorted.

Established in 1871, the National Rifle Association is Americas oldest civil rights and sportsmen`s group. Four million members strong, NRA continues its mission to uphold Second Amendment rights and advocates enforcement of existing laws against violent offenders to reduce crime. The Association remains the nation`s leader in firearm education and training for law-abiding gun owners, law enforcement and the armed services.
Said that Dr. Tom was against guns, farmers, hunters and the 2nd amendment to put it in a few words and that Carson was the only candidate endorsed by the NRA in the race.
I got one, too, and will have a letter of complaint to them in tomorrow's mail. In it, I told them to never, ever mail me anything again. I got an equally offensive call last night where some misplaced valley-girl type said some of the same things. I told her to take me OFF their calling list. (after which she hung up)
You have that right -- we cannot afford to let the liberals win!
I think this is going to backfire on them. Some voters (like me) will see that piece of junk and be more resolute than ever--for Dr. Tom!
I did the same thing and got the same call. His office hung up on me today when I told them off! I have never detested a candidate the way I do Carson and that is saying a lot as Kerry is right there with him. Carson is one of the slimiest RATs I have ever seen!
Same here! When I got that flyer I was really mad after hearing the lowlife say he was doing no more negative ads -- what a total Clymer!
I really laughed at the commercial where Carson's insipid wife whined about some of what Carson has been called--she says (paraphrasing because I don't recall her exact words) "They've called is evil, they've called us liberals, I just don't know which is worse!"
I am going to ruin the knob on my car's radio as I turn down the sound everytime one of his ads come on. Mr. No More Negative Ads is still running Negative Ads. He is despicable.
Cannot wait until this election is over and no more ads.
