It’s not funny because it’s true

Out of Iowa

A new Republican television ad links Democratic congressional candidate Bruce Braley to the Communist Party and says he’s supported by “ultra liberals.”

The ad, which began running Friday, prompted the Braley campaign to label it a “joke.”

The ad says Braley was endorsed by the Council for a Livable World and was called a “peace candidate” by the Communist Party.

The council, the new ad says, advocates “huge defense cuts” and has a leader that once proposed negotiating with the Taliban.

It concludes by saying Braley’s support from “ultra liberals” shows he’s “out of touch” with Iowa.

Jeff Giertz, a Braley spokesman, did not dispute the ad’s accuracy but said it is “over the top.”

If the ad is accurate, then the only reason he has for commenting on it is…..because he wants to complain about it being accurate.

Lie with pigs and you get caught up in their Animal Farm.
