Earlier this week, right-wing propagandists at Media Trackers and Right Wisconsin posted two attacks on Democratic Attorney General candidate Jon Richards. While the attacks against Richards focused on two different issues, it’s notable (at least to me) that the attacks seemed coordinated, as they were posted just hours apart on the same day. The attacks also come as I’m hearing rumors about polling that doesn’t look good for Republican Attorney General candidate Brad Schimel if matched against Jon Richards in the general election.

I think Jon Richards is a major threat to the Koch Brigade! He will be politically assaulted from now until the election!

1. If he's not on the Koch payroll, they don't want him in office.

2. If he's not a certifiable Koch fartcatcher, they'r afraid they can't control him.

Just imagine the fun a Peg Lautenschlager would have been having with the Walker Gang the past few years.

3. perhaps they see him as the most likley primary winner and want to dammage him early against

brad schlameil

brad has already shown that he will not enforce the law against republicans(scot jensen)

4. That is EXACTLY the strategy

they've used it successfully in the past and expect it to work again.
