We just got this from the Our Country Deserves Better PAC via Townhall Spotlight (a paid advertisement service of Townhall.com)–apparently it’s the ad that’s “making liberals berzerk”–and it was too heavens-to-Betsy scandalous not to post now now now, by God!
You’re probably thinking we just posted this to terrify you on general principles, but there is actually a Colorado tie: the “OCDB PAC” is just one of several front groups run out of the Republican-aligned consultant shop Russo, Marsh and Rogers, who our readers will recall showed up in Colorado under a different name last year to shower love and kisses on Bob Schaffer–which became problematic after RM&R’s ties to Schaffer’s buddies in the Kurdish Regional Government made the papers.
Who knows? Maybe you’ll recognize some of the footage used in this spot in the Our Country Deserves Better PAC’s next big release coming next year, “It’s not Hitler it’s Michael Bennet.” Now you’ll know it when you see it, anyway.

*gasp! No! Right here in the US! What am I gonna do??? FREAKOUT!
Wasn’t it the Bush administration that “pushed through” the taxpayer-funded bailouts OCDB thinks are taking us to the brink of socialism?
And the Bush administration-era DHS report that called right-wing domestic terrorists, er, “right-wing domestic terrorists”?
And it was the Republican voter registration firm in California that recently pled guilty to massive voter fraud.
And all of this happened right here in the U.S.
The threat to Our Country is more insidious than any of us imagined. Thank you, OCDB. Thank you for warning us about the Republicans and their threat to our way of life.
Or the problem is you?
Just sayin’, sure do whine a lot lately about meta.
are you just sayin’ in English or some other language? I got me some Rosetta stone if necessary.
Means “blogging about blogging.” In your case, it’s more like whining about blogging. “Why was this promoted?” “This site is depressing.” And so forth. It’s kind of your niche these days, and I think it’s lame. It gets tiresome and signals an agenda. If you get to complain then so do I, right?
Unlike your cheesy overuse of the word “sugah” and ethnic grammar in general, which is just annoying. We’ve all seen you snap into a much more articulate version of yourself when it suits your purposes, makes your “got me some” Aunt Jemima schtick a little affected – and offensive.
Again, just saying.
a quick look at your comments there Bluey,
I don’t mind your partisanship. My eyes see your name and know to ignore the words. Not sure I’ve seen you ‘snap into a much more articulate version of yourself when it suits your purposes’ but your right bashing, Republican hating, partisan schtick is a little affected – and offensive.
Jamba’s humor and sarcasm doesn’t meet your ethical standard of what should be blogged?
Skip over it.
So to quote you:
Y’know – just saying…
To borrow a phrase, what the hell are you talking about? I don’t believe I’ve ever used the term “sugah.” I have been known to call someone “sweetie” or “darlin'”, but I didn’t attribute to those terms the ethnic significance that you’ve divined. (Is Absolutely Fabulous an ethnic show?)
It’s also meta-interesting that you’ve conjured up some Aunt Jemina image when people use (what you view to be) “ethnic grammar.”
In any event, I found the above video depressing and said so. If you enjoyed the video, then feel free to say so. But you needn’t get all meta-bitchy to me.
PS to Car31: I blow my best non-ethnic kisses your way!
I was picturing more of a Mrs. Butterworth thing going on. I guess I’m wildly out of touch with ethnic stereotyping these days.
n/t
If only. I just had a different impression of Jambalaya.
100% pure honey, that’s me
I liked that comment?
Your response is deemed to be affected and offensive. You are on notice to retract.
Never mind. That’s too complicated.
Sure, this OCDB PAC stuff is ad hominem and a bad analogy, but what strikes me most about it is the generational demographic to which it’s targeted. The threats and memories invoked are based on realities with which only someone carrying a well-worn AARP card could directly identify.
Is this a redux of the “return the grown-ups to Washington” mantra of W’s first campaign?
Is it a strategy to take back “their country,” or a strategy to take “their country” back?”
Spinning memories of days gone by to excite the base is classic GOP, but how effective can it be when your imagined base is dwindling by the 1000s day-by-day due to the natural attrition of old age?
The GOP is going to have to come back to the future, or at least the recent past, if it hopes to see “Happy Days,” anywhere other than on TVLand.
Thanks for sharing, I’ll post it on my facebook page !
will do wonders to build your party back to majority status…
Maybe the dwindling 20% still proud to call themselves Republicans have some magic plan to turn 20% into 50% + 1?
I believe we have hit a generational change. A paradigm shift, if you will, in politics. These ads scare the hell out of my 75 year old mom and mean nothing to my 32 year old brother. He finds them funny and he is an independent.
Yes, the older generation is still voting in large blocks, but I believe we will see this type of politicking backfire.
However, what I don’t understand is why the Republican Party is so blind that their attacks on a Latina candidate for the Supreme Court is sealing their fate with the largest growing group of Americans. It is like they are determined not to see the American power landscape change, yet they are powerless to stop it, and don’t realize that fact.
A new generation is on the horizon, things will different and battle will be televised, blogged and researched immediately.
Is that an Amish man, a black cowboy, or a Hasidic Jew in the Tea Party clip spliced into this commercial? Talk about a fuzzy series of frames…
