Dems, This Is How It's Done
Senator Mark Begich (D-Alaska) is in a tough contest for re-election this year. Republicans who hope to capture the seat, and right-wing Koch-funded groups like "Americans for (Plutocrat) Prosperity," have been putting out the usual bogus information about Begich's record. In Alaska and elsewhere where Democratic Senators are up for re-election -- particularly in "red" states -- deceitful attacks are being launched on the Affordable Care Act, attacks which have later been debunked. In our opinion, this is how the Dems should respond:
Other Dems should sit up and take note (and perhaps hire Begich's media consultants): that is how you counter the dark, negative messaging of the Rethuglican / New Confederate / Stupid Party and the plutocrats that own them.
