Looking at who is going after Perlmutter, I like him even more.
all them markeys look alike when you’re a virginia based smear group.
The frazier ads, by contrast, are deliberate, calculated, lies.
Since early voting is already well advanced, there is no way to undo the damage those lies may have caused. Maybe the culprits will be fined a few grand next year, and they will laugh all the way to the bank.
The shame of the Citizens United decision is coming home to roost.
Don’t confuse the LIV (Low Information Voter) with the likes of us here.
The ad disappears………
So what?
people heard it, it stuck in their heads. But I wonder if it even changed minds or was ‘preaching to the choir’ anyway?
Unless 9News devotes the time to counter the ad with a ‘we pulled this ad because it was misleading’ campaign, it simply vanishes into the mists of time, no explanation.
Markey did on Gardner and it’s playing like crazy right now.
even though I don’t think anyone except those who think Obama is a foreign Muslim fascist communist, not unlike all Dems except for the foreign Muslim part, take this ad seriously.
at this point of the game. That ad got a lot of airplay and it needs to be countered with some truth. What a novel change that would be.
Loved Markey’s counter punch over the ad featuring the wrong Markey’s vote. That’s the only way people unlike us here at Colpols will ever know.
But I wonder whether the ridiculous amount of money being spent in little old Colorado this close to the finish line has gone beyond the saturation point to the point where negative ads become wallpaper. When you can’t open the mailbox or watch TV without the same endless nasty ads, I suspect there comes a time when everybody just a) only believes what supports their preference, b) figures the pols are all just a bunch of lying shmucks or c) is too sick of it all to pay any attention any more.
Yes, negative ads work but does the benefit continue to grow no matter how many for how long? I guess, thanks to the Supremes, we’ll find out. Especially here in ground zero Colorado.
when i was watching the news and they were doing the political roundup stuff…shouldn’t they report, in the news program in which the ad was airing, why the ad had been pulled? That would make more sense. Plus, if people thought that their false ads would be covered as news (when people are paying attention and not muting the TV) maybe it would be a bit of deterrence. Instead of, oh well, we still reached x thousands of people in those 5 days the ad played.
Grr.
It’s not an attack ad by Frazier, it’s from American Action Network, which has some apparent ties to Frazier.
But the point wouldn’t have to be made if Frazier himself would man up and issue a public statement to the effect that “I don’t need some outfit I’m not affiliated with to attack Ed Perlmutter for something he DIDN’T do. I regret sleaze like that from supporters of any candidates. There’s plenty enough Ed DID do that I disagree with…”
Something like that.
A suspicious lack of outrage from our faithful righties on this thread over this 30 second slime job. Seems to be somewhat selective when it comes to denouncing deceitful ads around here.
It’s OK, they’re busy denouncing David Chestnut for being a lying, ethically bankrupt sack of shit.–. er, wait …
denouncing the lying sack of shit behind the chestnut fraud, RG. Uhh, wait, this just in…
It’s an attack ad by a group that supports Ryan Frazier. As is this one from “Patriot PAC”:
“Give me liberty or give me death!”
He owned slaves. The liberty he wanted was the liberty to enslave other men, rape their wives, and raise the victims of his rapes as more slaves.”
Nice guy, Patrick Henry.
when it dawns on them that their crackpot political agenda isn’t going anywhere due to the balance of power in DC.
Perlmutter should be running a counter ad saying that Frazier is working to get rid of American jobs to China. Doing a truth ad is a good thing. In the middle point out that the Frazier ad was pulled because it was a lie.
I don’t think too many people even care about how Frazier is the absentee city council member. But they do care about their jobs. And he has spent a lot of time overseas setting up ways to take peoples jobs and ship them to China.
It remoinded me of the Willie Horton ad
I guess it tells us what we would get with Ryan Frazier.
we won’t spend any time talking about their health care solutions.
Oh wait. They don’t have any so absent any real ideas bearing false witness is the only thing they have left.
