The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is the campaign arm for U.S. House Democrats, and one of their top priorities is seeing that Andre Carson is elected in the upcoming special election. They got him a Washington, DC, campaign team; a fancy new web site; and some large DC money. But their latest trick may have gone too far.
Last week, a YouTube video surfaced online, essentially a scary attack adagainst Republican Jon Elrod, even containing the "paid for by DCCC" style disclaimer at the end. It was prominently featured on the DCCC's YouTube Channel (View this photo). The problem is that all the footage was obtained from Indianapolis area news broadcasts.
Normally we would show you the video, but, the video has been removed by YouTube, stating that "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by LIN Television Corporation." LIN is the parent company of WISH-TV. As you might see on the DCCCLive page, WISH's Jim Shella was featured prominently, and apparently without permission.
The result is just amazing to think about. Our local media accused the campaign arm of Nancy Pelosi, while working for Andre Carson, of plagiarism, and YouTube agreed.
Just more evidence the Dems will stop at nothing to smear Jon Elrod and force Andre into office.
His last name is CARSON, he’s “associated” with the nation, and he’s a democrat.
What did you expect??
The change-over to Republican control in Indianapolis has the Democrats concerned about this seat.
IINM, he’s the son of the late Representative Julia Carson, who died in December. I happened to be in town for the political/media feeding frenzy over her funeral. He may get a big sympathy bump from that.
He’s Julia’s Grandson. Whatever sympathy bump Andre may have received, he lost by having Screwy Louie speak at her funeral and endorse Andre Carson.
The Jews are likely sitting this one out because of their own is running in the May primary as a D (David Orentlicher).
