DIRTY TRICKS IN WISCONSIN: RW smear firm involved in Wisc.State Supreme Crt election race
(I apologize for the cross-post; I posted this also in GD Politics. But this is too important not to be broadcast far and loud):

Creative Response Concepts, based in Alexandria, VA, has been employed by as-yet unknown individuals to sway the Wisconsin State Supreme Court election race on behalf of RW candidate Annette Ziegler (her opponent, Linda Clifford, is a progressive). Dave Zweifel, of Wisconsin's Capital Times newspaper, writes that a CRC PR flunky recently contacted him to provide him with interviews with conservative lawyers, who presumably will "educate" Zweifel about the race. Zweifel writes:

Scheiderer acted surprised when I asked him who was paying his firm. He ducked the question, claiming instead that CRC works closely with the "Federalist Society," a group comprised mainly of conservative lawyers, but not known for shelling out money on election campaigns.

I asked if they were filing campaign finance reports and, remarkably, he insisted that his clients aren't promoting a candidate, merely providing "information" about the race. And I've got a bridge to sell.

It doesn't stop with Creative Response Concepts, though. The Club For Growth is also involved on behalf of Ziegler:

1. how much for the bridge?
WE have to realize, over and over again, that the neocon branch of the GOP won't die off until we

a) Pound a huge wooden stake in their hearts
b) leave them drawn and quartered in the bright sunlight
c) fill their mouths with garlic and a liquid mix of arsenic and cyanide
d) sew their mouths shut and cut out their entrails, liver and kidneys
e) plug their noses with superglue
f) rip their bodies apart with four stallions, one to each limb
g) tar and feather the remains, then set the tar on fire
h) drop the remains in a huge hole, then cover it with concrete
i) include a tactical nuke with the concrete, then detonate it
j) gather the ashes, put it on a rocketship and send it in an orbit that hits the sun
k) observe the sun carefully just in case they come back

I hope it is enough.
