Who is behind these nasty TV ads against Rick Nolan? (Original Post)

(14,807 posts)1. The two groups they mentioned are covers. For whose big money
I don't know but they are horrible. They need to be exposed as people will be confused and influenced by them.

(115,693 posts)3. Yes, often for the last few days (on Comcast).
I thought it was odd since this isn't even the district he's running in. They are really heinous, completely false ads. They make him out to be some kind of fire-breathing Marxist and claim he intends to eliminate Medicare.
I hope he's doing some counter-advertising but I haven't seen any - maybe just in that district?

them up here, AFAIK.

District. "Chipped Crack" has to go.

"Chipped Asscrack"
I've seen those heinous ads here in Mpls a lot lately.
