from TPM:


" Minnesota state Sen. Tarryl Clark, the Democratic candidate to go up against Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann, is looking to get an ad on the air going after Bachmann for having bashed the the BP escrow fund as "extortion" by the Obama administration.


The ad is not yet up on TV, but the Clark campaign is conducting a fundraising drive among supporters to get it on the air.




"It's BP's fault. And they should pay. But Michelle Bachmann calls making BP pay for the clean up 'extortion,'" the announcer says. "And said 'If I was the head of BP, I would let the signal get out there - 'We're not going to be chumps.'"

"If Bachmann lets BP off the hook, guess who's paying? Us," the announcer says. "Michele Bachmann: standing up for BP. Not us."

1. Well done. The 'who's paying?' part is sure to cause pause for thought. nt

2. Well

With all the crazy crap this lunatic has said you would think that her opponent would have no problem using it to show just how crazy this woman really is. The only problem seems to be that the district she is in has enough "crazies" who buy into to her insane rants to keep her in office! This is one district that really needs the democrats to "get out the vote" and get this woman out of office. I know that in most elections there are a lot of people who just don't take the time to vote, young, old, and in between. If anyone needs to be voted out of office it's this nut!

3. I would have said "Michelle Bachmann. Not just standing up for BP - she's crazy for BP".

4. And it begins!

5. Bachmann has said that the Federal Government should pay.

Yep, that would be "us."

6. Good ad

My parents will soon be moving into her district. Two more votes to oust her in November.

7. They should add: If she's standing up for BP, who else will she stand up for? Not us.

8. Guess I'l have to donate again.

In just 43 seconds, this add puts succinctly what is wrong with our corrupt political system and, without mentioning it, why the Citizens United decision was monstrous miscarriage of justice.

Michele Bachmann gets to keep her seat in Congress because of campaign contributions from the deep pockets of artificial persons. She only theoretically represents the interests of the citizens of the 6th Congressional District of Minnesota; she in fact represents the interests of large corporate campaign contributors. She represents BP, not us.

10. Democratic party members getting serious, great to see.
