The next big election is still 15 months away, yet the big-money far-right fat cats are already buying up big chunks of air time to sow the seeds of misinformation and pander to the lowest and dumbest among us. For over a week, we've been bombarded with an anti-Obama ad from a group known as "Americans For Prosperity", and also with an anti-Sherrod Brown ad from another group called "American Crossroads".
For the record, "Americans For Prosperity" is a front for the notorious Koch brothers, while "American Crossroads" is headed by Fox-wad and former Bush's brain Karl Rove. The putrid decision from the Roberts' Court in the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission case gave a virtual blank check to these people and their corporate interests, and they've wasted no time in using it to twist and manipulate public opinion. Plenty more to come, and it'll be awful.
Our country is for sale. Bastards like the Kochs and Karl Rove and Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes are trying to buy it. We cannot let the sale go through.
