How low can they go? NRSC mails "rape comic" on Coleman's behalf

[dflprincess]

Of course, Normie had no way to prevent this - even though this is the group Mr. Bipartisan wants to be chair of.

Here's a link to the mailing. It really needs to be seen to be believed.

There's an article about this at Minnpost:

...Coleman must believe that this piece of literature has the potential to backfire.

After news of the flier first surfaced over the weekend on AMERICAblog.com, the Republican senator released to the media a long email that his campaign said was sent Sunday night to the head of the NRSC, Sen. John Ensign of Nevada.

After patting himself on the back in the email for his Oct. 10 announcement that he would cease all negative campaigning, Coleman wrote: "As the law clearly states, neither you, nor I can influence in anyway the content or subject matter of campaign material that are created by a IE group. That being said, the piece itself is something that simply should have never made it to the mail.''

At that point in the email, Coleman did a deft job of inserting the message of the flier in his denouncement.

"The direct mail piece, which comes in the form of something that looks like a comic book, focuses on Mr. Franken's repeated efforts at comedy using jokes about rape, child abuse and other degrading commentary during his career.

(Normie at his weasely best)

1. Name one thing that Coleman has said that is the truth.

2. Norm is a snake

Pat Kessler just announced Coleman pulled his negative ads on television. What Kessler didn't say was Norm id going negative by mail instead.

3. Deft indeed

I don't even know what to say. That is totally disgusting. Especially when Mr. Bipartisan manages to get the message in while he's pretending to be Mr. Pure. What a hypocrite when he's also busy fighting Big Bad John Cornyn of TX to be the NRSC chair.

And, ya know, I bet whoever did the concept, design and copy is someone who would proudly proclaim that he/she/they vote on "values".
