Ralph Reed’s Group Goes after “Union Thugs” in Wisconsin
[...] join the fight with 100 plus FFC activists who will be going door-to-door encouraging the Badger State to vote for candidates who share our values of lower taxes, less government, faith, and who will stand up to union thugs who support Obama’s tax and spend solutions. We need your financial support to make our Wisconsin get-out-the-vote program work.
Tim Phillips, president of Americans for Prosperity, the Koch brothers-backed group that backed the election of Scott Walker and his anti-union agenda, co-founded the political consulting firm Century Strategies with Faith and Freedom Coalition founder Ralph Reed.
Amazing how all of these organizations sprout from one cancerous tumor.
GOP Representative Refers to Obama as Tar Baby
Think Progress Excerpt:
Appearing on the Caplis and Silverman radio show last Friday, Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) said, “Now I don’t even want to have to be associated with [Obama], it’s like touching a tar baby and you’re stuck, you’re part of the problem now. You can’t get away.”
Americans For Prosperity: Running the elections like they'd run a Business - Fraudulently
The GOP's Koch machine was caught sending absentee ballots to Democrats in at least two Wisconsin state Senate recall districts with instructions to return the paperwork days after the election is over.
The fliers, obtained by POLITICO, ask solidly Democratic voters to return ballots for the Aug. 9 election to the city clerk "before Aug. 11."

LaCrosse Tribune Photo Slide
Are we this far under siege? According to a report by the LaCrosse Tribune, a fire in downtown LaCrosse destroyed downtown buildings Saturday, claiming six apartments, a warehouse and the local headquarters of a political organizing group just 10 days before an election.
LaCrosse Tribune Excerpt:
The La Crosse headquarters for We Are Wisconsin, a left-leaning political action committee, was a total loss, said group spokesman Kelly Steele.
Thank goodness that no one was seriously injured, but several firefighters were treated for heat exhaustion.
An investigation for the cause of the fire is under way.

Atlas Shrugged Conservative Pam Geller Devalues Victims of Breivik’s Terror On Skin Color
Think Progress Excerpt:
To get her point across, Geller posts a picture of the youth camp children Breivik targeted. The picture was taken on the Utøya island camp about 24 hours before Breivik killed over 30 children, so it is likely Geller is mocking many of the victims. Under the picture, Geller writes: “Note the faces which are more MIddle [sic] Eastern or mixed than pure Norwegian.”
Think Progress noted that Geller deleted the inflammatory race mixing line from her post. However a screenshot was saved here.

As far as the GOP is concerned about the mix-up of election dates ...Mission Accomplished!
