The Left’s Attack Machine Grinding Away With TV Ads About Awesome Michele Bachmann

Bachmann has a target on her back
The left’s attack machine is already grinding away with TV ads.

A smear machine fueled by huge sums of cash has fixed its sights on a new Public Enemy No. 1. Her name is U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Minnesota voters won’t be heading to the polls until November 2010, almost a year from now, but this machine is already pouring megabucks into a TV ad campaign attacking Bachmann. In the ad, an actress portraying the congresswoman greets voters with oil oozing from her hands. A frightened baby wails, and constituents glare with disgust at the sticky handprints she leaves on their backs. The message? Bachmann is a shill for Big Oil.
Attack ads such as this are just one weapon in the multifront assault that Bachmann will face in coming months. For insight into what’s on the horizon, we can look to Colorado. There, a cabal of Democratic activists, led by high-tech mogul Tim Gill, has masterminded a potent new political strategy that’s “redefining liberal politics,” according to Time magazine.
It’s no surprise that Bachmann finds herself in the left’s cross hairs. She is everything its zealots most despise: a woman who flaunts feminist orthodoxy and dares to advocate limited government, free markets and traditional marriage.
The Colorado model is fueled by unprecedented piles of money, contributed by a clubby group of multimillionaires. It uses left-wing nonprofit organizations, rather than traditional Democratic Party channels, to get its message to voters. Its scorched-earth tactics range from smear ads that twist the facts to trumped-up charges of ethical violations.
Using this strategy, left-wing activists have transformed Colorado from Red to deep Blue since 2004. Democrats have announced plans to export their model to other states, and Rob Stein of the George Soros-funded Democracy Alliance has put Minnesota at the top of the list.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Liberals don’t allow for those with Christian Traditional Family Values.
This is one of the reaons why we need to stay active. The RINO RNC withheld funds from Bachmann in her last election. Michele had to depend on individual contributions, just like with Hoffman. She begged the RNC to help her, but they wrote her off as a “lost cause.”Wealthy PACs and lefty moguls will do anything to stop Conservatives all over the country. If we don’t fight back.
