Flashback: Scathing New Ad Uses Maddow and Michael Moore to Remind How Important Recall Election Was

Jun. 6, 2012 8:26am Jonathon M. Seidl

The liberal mantra coming after the Wis. recall election is likely to be that it isn’t that important in the grand scheme of things and that it has little to no implication for the fall election. But that’s not how they were treating it months ago.

The group American Future Fund has come out with a scathing and telling ad showing how important liberals such as Rachel Maddow, Michael Moore, and Russ Feingold thought the election was before Tuesday’s results. It cleverly opens with the question, “Do you recall?”

To be fair, the reaction you see from the White House in the video wasn’t from Tuesday night. But it is safe to say that once things started looking bleak for Democrats in the race, the White House distanced itself. And that’s why it’s easy to predict what the spin will be in the aftermath.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

Was interesting watching the White House run away from Barrett . He was the latest one to go under the bus ! ( watch out Bill as you may be next ! ) What should Barrett have expected from this administration of cowards who got into the White House by voting ” present ” on the issues and by fooling independents with the real ‘ change’ they had planned !

  Probably ran away because they didn’t want anyone with a common sense brain put facts in a row and connect the dots. Obama went to NJ, Chris Christie won. Obama went to MA, Scott Brown won. How many companies have Obama and Biden gone to and crowed about, only to have the company go bankrupt shortly thereafter?

  Can’t help but wonder what the moderate Democrats must be thinking . Maybe they will change parties over this ! These Obama International Far Lefties are so out of control with their Occupies, etc. This is NOT the JFK Democrat Party. Maybe the Obama people need to rename themselves The American Marxist Party !

  Well, how many people has Obama actually helped get elected? From what I remember, almost everybody he campaigned for was defeated. I’ll bet democrats are running away from the WH.

  I think if the establishment republicans think based upon the results in Wisconsin, they have it in the bag, big mistake.
  
  Walker survived the recall because he said what he was going to do and then did it; He didn’t back down, he didn’t look to compromise his values, he simply said what he meant and meant what he said (an elephant’s faithful 100% percent, sorry, lol.)
  
  If you are saying one thing and doing another, you will find that some of the stiffest opposition will be coming from your own “side”. Contrary to what most politicians believe, the people are not stupid, they just weren’t paying attention. That has changed, and they better stop writing checks their morals can’t cash.

  God bless you. It’s going to be very hard for Romney to win. There are lot of people on the political Right who don’t want to support him. We’re sick of choosing the lesser evil.
  
  Even with everything at stake, my gut tells me he’s actually more dangerous.

  If you are referring to Bill Clinton I think Obama would be foolish to try and throw him under the bus, Clinton could do a lot of damage to Obama in fact he may already have done some damage to his chances.

  Man is it getting crowded under that bus! It is absolutely hilarious watching libaturds trying to put a positive spin on their overwhelming defeat, but it ain’t nothing like the spin they will have to try after we kick O’Blamer’s @ss to the curb in November.

Reminds me of the old joke about having to hit the mule in the head first with a 2X4 to get his attention to get moving.
They didn’t listen in 2010 and they will likely not listen now.
The big 2X4 is coming this November!.

I wonder if this outcome will energize the left to engage in blatant voter fraud, redoubled thuggery and downright voter intimidation in November. Let us not lull ourselves in to a false sense of victory, we MUST keep the pressure on with enthusiasm and truth.

I thought the unions would steal this election with rampant voter fraud but the real Americans in Wisconsin came out in force and won the day.

Hooray, Hooray!!

  I was a little worried about them stealing it as well. Congrats to Governor Walker and thank you to the voters in Wisconsin for showing that fiscal responsibility still means something in this country.

  Even though Walker won they should investigate voting anomalies for fraud. Every time voter fraud is brought up, the left says ‘show proof’. I think doing a cursory inspection of the voting process here WILL show that fraudulent votes were cast, especially in Madison.
  
  I think election day voter registration had masked a lot of fraud.

  I watched a report on election night in Wisconsin and the two lefties were crowing about the fact that in a few areas that were heavily Democrat that the turnout was over 100%. As much as 119% in one district. If that ain’t an anomaly please point one out to me. I want to see it.

  Agree with you completely. Investigate and “nip-it-at-the-bud” before Nov 2K12. However, as we well know, when you put a “stop-gap” in an area, the “water-leak” will find another opening. Democrates’ “work-is-never-done”. As a conservative, it is SO EASY to be one. Why? Simple, I pray for Life,Liberty & the pursuit of Happiness for all Americans and believe in THE INDIVIDUAL. Government plays a role to protect us from all our enemies foreign & domestic and oversee that The Constitution is followed by all America citizens “including-ALL-politicians”. I am a BIG BELIEVER in State’s Rights!!! Hmmmm and the founders thought that too….Hmmmm.
  Good Afternoon America….how are ya?

  They were prepared, but the count had to be closer than what it was. It’s hard to come up with a couple hundred thousand “found” ballots in a car trunk, but a couple thousand is doable. Also when Barret was slapped, the Dem operative didn’t want him to concede since they had the fix going on in the backroom and he blew it by conceding too early!

The public unions, though they are huge and noisy, are NOT in the majority. They forgot that there are many (majority, in fact) of Wisconsinites who are intelligent, informed and not out to squeeze the population for their benefits. On Wisconsin!! Thank you for the referendum. Conservatives needed the boost in confidence.
