Conservatives Planning New Attack Group for Election
By Paul Kiel - April 7, 2008, 4:00PM


It's only April, but we've already begun to see a flowering of outside groups. The hyper-conservative Common Sense Issues unleashed robo-voiced push polls on more than 11 million households on Mike Huckabee's behalf. A liberal group called Campaign To Defend America has already unloaded a $1 million ad buy tying John McCain to George Bush. And the casino mogul backed conservative group Freedom's Watch is still revving its engines.

But there is much, much, much more to come. And The Boston Globe reports that Republican insiders appear to be favoring a separate vehicle to go after Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL). As one Republican strategist tells the Globe, "They're beginning to put the book together on Obama."

What this new group will be called isn't clear. But it will probably be quarterbacked and funded by some of the likely suspects. Some of the bigger Swift Boat Vets for Truth funders are sure to chip in, the Globe reports. And "the chairman and founding partner of DCI Group, Tom Synhorst, is helping lead the new third-party effort this year, according to GOP strategists familiar with the plans."

1. I Believe They Will Attempt To Tie Obama to Terrorism, 'America-Hating,' and Communism

If you go to the major RW blogs, they're all about the terra, especially LGF, which I've felt was the most plugged-in. It was eerie how little attention they were paying to our primaries and how much to Al Q. So, there's that ground being laid.

America-hating, that one's easy. Take Michelle's speech + her thesis + Wright + any criticism Barack may have ever had. This one will probably be the easiest to talk through, though.

Then you have the reports, such as Wiki, that BO's mom was more or less a communist, or at least flirted with it a great deal. That won't play very well in Texas or anywhere else in the South.

2. I've no doubt they'll try to throw the kitchen sink at him. I hope they

fail miserably. And that applies to going after Clinton, too. I hate these scumsuckers.

3. 527's

ROFLMAO FreedomsWatch is going to put $250 Million on the table to hit every Democrat in play in the General. You think the name CLINTON is going to give Hillary a pass??? They'll raise 2x as much if She's the Head of the Dem Ticket in Nov. Take that to the bank.
