Washington, DC & Los Angeles, CA: Blue America PAC and AmericansforAmericaPAC.com, two cutting edge Netroots political action committees, are launching a daily video campaign targeting GOP/Tea Party candidates every day from today through Election Day, November 2.
The videos will be posted nearly every business day, according to organizers, at 9am EST/6am PST at YouTube.com/BlueAmericaPAC and BlueAmerica.CrooksandLiars.com, beginning Wednesday.
Target #1: Joe Miller, the GOP/Tea Party Senate nominee in Alaska, who stunned mainstream Republicans by defeating Sen. Lisa Murkowski.
The PACs’ 1st video – Joe Miller: Alaska’s Craziest Catch – presents Miller’s radical tea party as part of a parody of the hit Discovery Show The Deadliest Catch.
Blue America PAC – organized by leading progressive blogs CrooksandLiars.com, Hullabaloo, and DownWithTyranny.com – is raising funds to air the spot on Alaska TV.
“Blue America’s video partnership with AmericansforAmericaPAC.com adds an important communications weapon to our arsenal, along with our blogs and fundraising capabilities,” said Howie Klein, co-founder of Blue America PAC and founder of DownWithTyranny.
The video program will feature the PACs working closely with local and state blogs to maximize their impact, Klein noted. For instance, in the case of The Craziest Catch video, "We've been working with Alaska's very active and committed blogging community to make sure that people all over that mammoth state know exactly who Joe Miller is."
“Likewise, the Blue America/AmericansforAmericaPAC.com partnership, working with the leading Ohio blogs, has already boosted the candidacy of John Boehner’s progressive challenger, Justin Coussoule – and we’re just getting started.”
Brett Di Resta, AmericansforAmericans.com’s co-founder, said of their debut video and its target, Joe Miller: "It's hard to fathom that there would be an Alaskan politician more extreme than Sarah Palin. But after looking at his record, Joe Miller made a believer out of us. Republican primary voters hooked him, but in the general Alaskans should throw back in the water."
The video is the first of many to come, said Dan Manatt, co-organizer of AmericansforAmericaPAC.com and producer of the spots
“Blue America and AmericansForAmericaPAC.com will be rolling out videos like Craziest Catch nearly every single day from today through Election Day. With all these GOP-Tea Party crazies and cronies, it’s a target rich environment for us.”
Manatt said that in addition to Miller, the PACs would be targeting Rand Paul and John Boehner – whom they already pounded with their TV ad mocking Boehner for his golf addiction. That ad, “Priceless,” went viral and was called by Ed Schultz “the best campaign commercial of the year.
Come on progressives! Let's show these teabagging simpletons that we learned our lesson the LAST time we voted an incompetent, unqualified politician, with no real understanding of Alaska's unique place in America, to represent our great state on the national stage!

Oh yeah...that's what I'm talking about.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those instances where you are sitting on your thumbs (after you've struck out online anonymously in your pj's) and hoping that someone, or something out there is organizing to do something about these crazy Teabaggers hijacking sanity in public discourse.
ReplyDeleteThanks to these progressive PAC's for their efforts to curb this destructive tide.
Curious, do these PAC's buy their underwear, birthday suits and bolster their thinking-book sales with such purchases other than actual campaign work?
Mr. G. thank you, thank you for mentioning Justin Coussoule! The Tan Man Boehner is problem for all of us not just Ohio. I've been emailing MSNBC to get someone to invite him on.

The one thing I'm hoping Ms.Palin has taught all her little 'baggers is to keep true to your rhetoric and don't tone it down.
ReplyDeleteI hope to God you people up there in Alaska can mobilize in large enough numbers to vote this guy into oblivion, 'cause after that O'Donnel dingbat in Delaware, the scales really need to be balanced.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck. We're watching.
We can't see Alaska from our porches, but we'll surely feel the sysmic effects.
