Alison Grimes Campaign Commercial So Deceptive It Earns 4 WaPo Pinocchios
NewsBusters ^ | October 7, 2014 | P.J. Gladnick

Just how deceptive is Alison Grimes' campaign commercial attacking Senator Mitch McConnell for supposedly being "anti-coal?" So deceptive that even fact checker Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post has awarded it four Pinocchios for extreme mendacity. To make matters worse for Grimes, this four Pinocchios award comes at the same time that James O'Keefe's Project Veritas released two videos showing Grimes campaign workers and a big financial backer stating on hidden camera that Grimes is only pretending to support the coal industry in order to get elected.

First up, let us look at the Alision Grimes 4 Pinocchio campaign commercial:

Dude you are freaking yellow scum....u don’t have a clue what our once great States need for if you did you will see that it is republicans like Mitchie poo that is our greatest danger.

Enough of your paid thoughts...Kentucky deserves grimes and mitch...and for putting up to ridiculous candidates to be US Senators if I had the power you would be stripped of your Statehood.

So get along u little doggie..for honestly I do not welcome your thoughts.

In the midst of this flame war, I have a question to ask:

Have the folks at FR who watched the video made a donation to Project Veritas or at least to FR?

Living in Texas, Mitch isn't my problem child. But I will chose to vote for even Cornyn over a lying Democrat.

>Buck up and Ditch Mitch.

Play politics as a blood sport - get him re-elected and then get him disgraced and kicked out office to be replaced with a more acceptable politician. Think Trent Lott.

Willing to lie, cheat, and steal for the cause is one of the basic litmus tests for marxists.

The first thing to understand about communism is that communism is a pack of lies. The second thing to understand is that communists lie. The third thing to know is that one needs the other.

If McConnel wasn’t such a milquetoast RINO he would be hammering Grimes for these anti coal remarks. The Obama administration is out to kill the coal industry and will turn the US into a third world electric system where black outs are the norm while the cost of electricity soars.

But if by default you get someone worse, that is not good either.

Grimes could never tell a whopper bigger than the one McConnell has lived while in office.

Have you seen this??? O'Keefe's "next shoe"

If O'Keefe got a video of a McConnell supporter saying that Mitch is going to get elected and then "**** Obamacare", that would really bowl me over!

I'd consider voting for Mitch for a nano-second if his supporter could say it with a straight face.

I think Grimes is going for the “Al Gore Award”

Hey LOSER, I’ll forgive you an your apparent brain damage. The choice is between Mitchie and Grimes. If you can’t get the difference between them past your thick skull I can’t help you. If Grimes wins and rubber stamps the next ultra liberal to the SC I am sure you will be the first to celebrate. If you want Grimes to win you HATE America. Deal with it.

Honestly you are petty and absolutely corrupted soul..

Find yourself some therapy and give up your conservative credentials for you are not one and quite frankly I consider you worthy of even less worthiness than a democrat for you seemingly would know the difference.

So again move-a-long u freaking tortured slave...u points and opinions have no value nor sense.

You would know all about pettiness and corruption because it is what you see every morning in the mirror.

I will guarantee I am infinitely more Conservative than you will ever dream to be. I have NEVER and WILL NEVER vote for a Democrat. Mitch is hardly conservative enough for my taste, HOWEVER, he is far better than Grimes. What don’t you get about that? Are you trying to be the no clue chump you are coming off as?

Like I said, you will no doubt celebrate the next far left SC nominee that Grimes will surely support. Congratulations on helping to ruin the nation.

last post...

U can try to position yourself all you would like but your words will only fail observance.

It is obvious your beef with me is skin fight so I then would imagine you internally are fighting only yourself.

In that you are weak and obviously delusional. It is at this point I ask you to step away from politics.

ur blood pressure and conscience will thank you.

My conscience is clear and my blood pressure low. I am strong and focused.

You on the other hand are content to be a LOSER and exhibit a LOSER’s mentality.

Mitch losing means a DEMOCRAT wins. That is a disaster. It empower Liberals. I guess that what you want.
