WMC's anti-Jessica King ad features… a King supporter

If you’ve seen an ad attacking State Sen. Jessica King, D-Oshkosh, for voting against the northern Wisconsin mining bill, you probably think a man named Lyle Balistreri is very angry with the senator. You might even think he wants her out of office.

It’s a reasonable assumption. Balistreri, the president of the Milwaukee Building and Construction Council, is seen on screen, in old interview footage. His face is juxtaposed with a picture of King, her phone number and the words, “Tell her to stop playing politics with our jobs.”

There’s just one problem. Lyle Balistreri supports King.

Balistreri says his comments were taken out of context by Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, the group behind the ad.

1. She is a good Senator. She is a progressive in a conservative

district representing her constituents fairly and pragmatically. She works her ass off and is good people. That they need to create controversy for the toady they're running - Gudex - is really pathetic and obnoxious.

2. You're far too kind to the lying sacks-o'-crap at WMC

3. Hmmm taking statements out of context.... Sounds like election fraud...
