Americans for Prosperity, the conservative advocacy group backed by the Koch brothers, released an attack ad on Wednesday criticizing Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) for his support of the Affordable Care Act.
The commercial features an unidentified Alaskan voter, who is actually an actress living in Maryland, according to The New York Times. In the ad, the actress blames Begich for breaking his promise to Alaskans.
“I trusted the president and Senator Begich … Now millions are losing their health care … costs are going way up,” the woman says. “Senator Begich didn’t listen. How can I ever trust him again? It just isn’t fair. Alaska deserves better.”
The actress is a Maryland native named Connie Bowman who does commercials, voice-overs and print ads.
“I’m just an actress,” she told the Times on Wednesday.
Political advertisements often use professional actors. But pretending to be an Alaska resident to offer criticism crosses a line, according to Begich’s campaign, which called the commercial an unfounded attack from a non-Alaskan.
Oh you done fucked up now!
Let me assure you that Alaskans HATE people from out of state trying to influence our votes, ESPECIALLY by using this kind of trickery.
I can guarantee that this does nothing but help Mark in seeking reelection.
The thing is that I am sure that Americans for Prosperity could have found a local Alaskan willing to appear in their ad, there are plenty of stalwart Republicans up here, but they simply outsourced the job to , using a favorite Alaskan epithet, a "fucking out of stater."
Georgie Porgie Zimmy Poo is a victim and is being set up:

There are certainly more than enough Haters in Wasilla to appear in the Koch ads.... but the Kochs obviously wanted someone who wasn't old, fat and badly-spoken- so they had to get an Outsider.
ReplyDeleteAFP have been v-e-r-y active in Anchorage and Wasilla since early 2012 targeting Mark Begich. They have plenty of money but do they have enough money to purchase a GOP candidate that Alaska can stomach?
I personally would like to kick Mark Begich in the ass - with both feet. I've loathed the Blue Dogs since they were sworn in but I'd never not vote for Begich because of it. He'd have to do something so vile that only a Republican would think of it before I'd vote against him or not donate. Every Democratic Senator is important, and I urge others to get over their feelings and support their Democratic US Senator.
I wonder if the Koch's claimed the film credit $$$ so favored by $carah? Since people in Alaska seem to be afraid of the Palins, why couldn't one of them "act" in this farce of a video? She could have threatened to cut off their payola.

Actually, Anon. 4:24, it was pretty stupid.
ReplyDeleteAgree to disagree. Immature, yes. Pretty stupid? ... Now you done fucked up!
DeleteThey probably couldn't find a bagga with more than one tooth in AK.
ReplyDeleteOur knowing that the Koch brothers are behind ads that counter the reelection of Begich is going to have the opposite effect.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to vote for him as I think we need people w/experience in the U.S. Congress and most assuredly need majority Democrats!
