Rove-founded group again blanketing airwaves with falsehoods, distortions, and sleaze

By Greg Sargent

During the 2010 elections, Crossroads GPS, the group co-founded by Karl Rove, spent millions and millions of dollars blanketing airwaves across the country with ads full of falsehoods and distortions that were widely debunked by independent fact checkers.

Now that’s happening again — only if anything, this time the distortions are even more brazen, and the sleaze factor is even higher.

Here’s the latest Crossroads ad, this one running in Massachusetts and hitting Elizabeth Warren for embracing Occupy Wall Street:

<...>

The new Crossroads ad — which is backed up by a buy of nearly $600,000 — takes this to an almost comical level. It claims: “Fourteen million Americans out of work. But instead of focusing on jobs, Elizabeth Warren sides with extreme left protests.” Of course, Warren’s message, and that of the protests themselves, is all about jobs and unemployment.

This is the most transparent effort yet to use the protests’ theatrical extremes to divert the focus from their — and her — actual populist prescriptions, critique of inequality, and diagnosis of our financial crisis, which polls suggest blue collar whites actually agree with.

3. Repukes sling most of the bullshit!!!

One of the best is that after Obama had a Democratic majority and
still wasted his time trying to extend a hand to the Repukes.

Not they say that Obama didn't take the opportunity to make
changes when he had the Democratic majority!!

What a bunch of shits - creating chaotic propaganda in order to gain a political edge.
That's like setting off a bomb in congress with the hopes that more Republicans survive.
What kind of desperate morons are these people?

What ever happened to honor and respect and a fair fight?
These people have lost sight of any kind of fairness and responsibility!

Will the adults in the room please stand up!
