Barney Frank famously bashed the Citizens United decision in a speech at Vanderbilt University earlier this year, saying that it “subverted democracy’. In a new ad, one of his former staffers running for Congress makes the same argument, and puts a ghostly image on the screen behind him so that you know exactly who it is he’s going to DC to fight.
That’s right, the malicious and evil Koch brothers, lately the Democrats’ most infamous boogeymen and the clear source of all that is evil and unholy in this world. Among his other qualifications that make him “stand out”, Mark Levine (not LEVIN) lists his having written “the congressional legal challenge to overturn Bush v. Gore.”
So he opposes Bush, worships Frank and sometime native American Elizabeth Warren, and hates the Koch brothers. Yeah, way to stand out there, buddy. You really know how to differentiate yourself from the crowd. Wonder how he feels about Obamacare. I bet he feels good about it. Really super good. Because he stands out, y’all.
Real trend-setter.
His Republican opponent, should he win the primary, will be Micah Edmond, a fiscally conservative former Marine and a black Republican. Just sayin’.
