Desperate Dems try new campaign tactic

As usual, the NY Times (unofficial newspaper for the Left) has picked up on the relatively new liberal democratic desperation tactic of going after rich conservative campaign contributors.  Part of the desperation comes from fear of losing control of the Senate and the Obamacare disaster and unpopularity.  The ads speak of why the donors are contributing so much and their alleged motives.  The donor activity is protected by the First Amendment and is largely irrelevant. It's like the old ad hominen argument and guilt by association.  It borders on propaganda.  Funny that they haven't mentioned George Soros who has donated billions over the years to Leftist causes.  Does the Left ignore him on this issue because he has a French conviction for insider trading? Could it be that the Left likes his ideology?  Let's hope the Republicans don't start playing tit-for-tat.

  1. Soros' leftist ideology is not much different from that of far too many editors of major newspapers or much of the main TV networks. After all, over 80% of the Washington press corps are registered as Democrats.

    Thus the corruption of a Leland Yee gets far less coverage than a bridge closing in New Jersey.
