Recently, a 501c4 (like a 527, except they don’t have to disclose their donors because they claim to be “non-partisan”), has begun running a deceitful, fear-mongering attack ad against at least 16 vulnerable freshmen Democrats.
Watch the generic version of the ad here:

This ad is misleading for a number of reasons:

• Last weekend, the Bush Administration acknowledged that the intelligence community is receiving all the information it needs to protect America while Congress works to craft a strong new FISA bill.


• The Congress continues to work on a strong new FISA bill. In reality, even Senators who voted for the Senate bill have expressed a desire to see it improved in negotiations with the House.


• The House Democrats didn’t “refuse” to vote. In reality the White House has boycotted negotiations and House Republicans voted unanimously against a 21 day extension the Democrats offered so they could have time to work out the constitutionally problematic parts of the bill. Clearly, the Republicans would rather have a political football than strong new FISA legislation, so the House Democrats called their bluff.
