There are 5 ads ranked (at Isthmus). I gravitate to the worst one:
That's from the AFL-CIO.
Second worst is one we already talked about in a post called "'What’s eleven dollars buy you in Wisconsin? Well, Scott Walker thinks eleven dollars buys your vote.'"
Isthmus rates one of Scott Walker's ads the second best of the week, but kicks it with "Everything Walker says here is a lie, but he says it very well."
The #1 best ad of the week is about how Scott Walker is poisoning children and wrecking the earthscape of northern Wisconsin.

He's poisoning the children who are wrecking the earthscape?
Scott Walker, saving the earthscape one dead child at a time.
( Maybe I should have watched the ad. )
You would think someone (the legislature or EPA) could stop Walker from poisoning children. Maybe he used some of the "secret" $700k to bribe others.
Worst, it was an out-of-state mining company. I guess poisoning children wouldn't be as bad if the mining company was in WI.
I thought the Jews already had the child-poisoning covered.
The "5 ads ranked" link is broken.
As a private sector taxpayer if I lived in WI I would vote for Mr. $11 bucks simply because that is more than any Democrat would offer me.
The unions must really be scared he might get re-elected. Is there talk of him further reducing union clout if he and the Republicans win in November? Don't want to waste neurons watching idiotic lefty enviro attack ads but if Walker is capable of such devastation as governor then what exactly is the EPA in existence for? That would mean Obama would be napping on the job...
So the LIV who has no clue who the Koch Brothers might be are now invited to contemplate the views of the Koch Sisters?
I think it is awful that Walker is poisoning children. Children are people, too.
Truthfully, I'm just glad that someone is poisoning these earthscape wrecking rugrats. Their reign of terror has to stop.

"Meet Joyce and Karen Koch – they are not related to David and Charles Koch... or to each other. But they are sisters where it counts – in spirit, in union solidarity, and in their shared values."
OTOH, aren't we told that the planet is doomed if we don't drastically reduce the population? What better way to achieve that goal than to poison children? Scott Walker, Earth's Savior.
It was a secret $700,000 bribe, it was sacred free speech that just looked like a check. Walker just really loves free speech is all.
Are they so sure it was the mining company digging that big hole? Sure looks like one of Tom Doak's signature bunkers to me.

Well, the Jews and the Koch Bros.
Original link to Isthmus doesn't work for me.

In his febrile mind Garage is pissed off that Walker is behaving like a typical Democrat pol. Mommy! That mean old Walker just isn't playing by our rules! Ain't fair!
Garbage's mind is just non-febrile enough to count on you not clicking through and finding out that the "bribe" was not paid to Walker, and that it was "secret" only because the non-Walkers it was paid to were not required by law to say who'd contributed it.
"it was sacred free speech that just looked like a check."
If only those "pro-business groups" would lay down and take their medicine from the unions and Socialists, all would be well.

Because the owners of Solyndra didn't give Obama millions. But the ROI on the Obama investment was pretty good for Solyndra.
Somehow the Communist environmentalists missed the news that the special prosecution of Scott Walker, with all its innuendo, has been exposed for its political nature.
As for a taconite mine, there is no evidence of water contamination - but there is evidence of new jobs and economic good. Steel is necessary for continued growth and advancement - environmentalists are no longer affordable.
When the Wisconsin Environmentalist group takes money from Soros and his buddies for liberal causes, everything is hunky-dory - but do not, under any circumstances (Citizens-United be damned), let a corporation encourage mining.
I'm with Ignorance and Nonapod. I would have thought they would be glad that he is eliminating these earth wrecking monsters.
Let's find people with the same last name and put them on camera, even though they have nothing to do with anything!
Uh, what?
http://www.earthscape.net/
Did John Hornecker, owner of earthscape.net, give DARK MONEY to Scott Walker to get him to poison the children wrecking earthscape?
Garage, GET ON IT.
Achilles is correct that Solyndra benefited from the 70% haircut that American taxpayers took on their $300+ million investment.
You evil Republicans. Don't you know that you should only poison children when they're in the womb?
They're saying, "I'm gonna change the rules, I'm gonna change the politicians, I'm gonna do whatever it is and it's gonna be my way. I think the Koch brothers expect obedience."
I notice the ad doesn't offer one shred of evidence that any of the above statements are true. Does she honestly expect the Koch brothers expect "obedience". Honestly? How deluded are they? Or is this another (the umpteenth) case of left wing projection where they accuse their opponents of the sins they would very much like to commit themselves.
"He's poisoning the children who are wrecking the earthscape?"
Sorry, that sentence was missing an "and." Fixed. Thanks for the heads-up. Wish I'd read that an hour ago.
Link fixed too.
Sorry.
Must be something in the water.

Aww, I think you're going to be okay ya big baby.
But yes I suppose that $700,000 free speech transmission could have easily gone to a Democrat fighting off a recall, who didn't allow Chris Cline to re-write Wisconsin environmental laws, and who didn't sign Chris Cline's legislation into law right after receiving that 700k free speech thing. Club for Growth and Scott Walker are two completely different people!
Is all the money spent on advertising and lobbying to be regarded as a bribe? There will be no speech anymore, no political activity possible. It's all too impure to tolerate. Then what?
Considering how many primary challengers the Club for Growth has supported over the years, I'd expect any Republican incumbent to be only too keenly aware of his separateness from that organization.
Fernandinande said..."Meet Joyce and Karen Koch – they are not related to David and Charles Koch... or to each other. But they are sisters where it counts – in spirit, in union solidarity, and in their shared values."
Wow, fake and not even accurate, that's a doozy.
We would be so much better off if we trusted the voters. I think any restrictions on contributions, any limitations on political speech, are bad. If the Koch brothers or George Soros want to squander their billions on politics then I say let them.
The Koch sisters, by the way, are stupid women. But I think they are unlikely to be swayed by a political ad.
"Is all the money spent on advertising and lobbying to be regarded as a bribe?"
I actually read (skimmed, actually) garage's link, and I don't get where the offense is. "X spent money on ads/lobbying supporting the positions of Y!".

Put there by Scott Walker, no doubt.

Uh, Professor, obviously you haven't been paying attention here--not allmoney (however spent) is bad, only money that goes to the wrong people. Interestingly money can come from the wrong people and still be ok as long as it goes to the right people.
This is pretty straighforward. It's why, for example, the NRA with its 3-4M members is an evil special interest group doing the work of Big Gun and supressing individual political action, while billionare Bloomberg's tiny Everytown organization is a grassroots movement representing a groundswell of public support.

Absolutely. I bet Walker wakes up every day and wonders if the Club for Growth will primary him:
"The Governor is encouraging all to invest in the Wisconsin Club for Growth," said an April 28, 2011, email from Kate Doner, a Walker campaign consultant, to R.J. Johnson, an adviser to Walker's campaign and the advocacy group. "Wisconsin Club for Growth can accept corporate and personal donations without limitations and no donors disclosure."
In the email, Doner wrote to Johnson that Walker wanted Wisconsin Club for Growth exclusively to coordinate campaign themes. "As the Governor discussed ... he wants all the issue advocacy efforts run thru one group to ensure correct messaging," she wrote." Link.
Scott Walker is running over soft fuzzy puppies with a steamroller! And it's rusty and noisy!
""The Governor is encouraging all to invest in the Wisconsin Club for Growth," said an April 28, 2011, email from Kate Doner, a Walker campaign consultant, (my emphasis)"
Dan Bice and garage mahal are lying to you. Kate Doner was working for the WCFG when she wrote that email. She was not a Walker campaign consultant. She was hired by the Walker campaign in November 2011. They want you to think she was doing illegal campaign coordination. She was not.
Speaking of funding, does anyone know who's funding Greg Orman's senate bid next door to me in Kansas. For a putative independent, he's made a huge ad buy here in Kansas City, both now and previously during primary season.
Kate Doner was working for the WCFG when she wrote that email.
If that's true you should email Dan Bice and correct the record.
Garage told a funny.
You have info that Bice doesn't have it appears. He is very accessible, you should email him or hit him up on Twitter.
Watching HGTV over the weekend I saw Wisconsin and North Carolina political ads for democrats. They must have money to burn.
If Bice reads the Wall Street Journal, he knows it.
If the Wall Street Journal is gospel email Bice the link.
I don't want him harassing me in the middle of the night.
Your feigned innocence really is precious.
Your feigned innocence really is precious.
You haven't proven anything. Or attempted to as far as I can tell.
"Everything Walker says here is a lie, but he says it very well."
I said that smile will cover his positions for the rubes,...
Here's the text form the Aug 25 WSJ piece:
"Democrats and their media allies are also making much of an April 2011 email written by fundraising consultant Kate Doner noting that Mr. Walker was "encouraging all to invest in the Wisconsin Club for Growth." The Club for Growth, she added, "can accept corporate and personal donations without limitations and no donors disclosure."
"The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel describes Ms. Doner as a "Walker campaign consultant," implying nefarious illegal coordination. But at the time she wrote the email she was working for the Wisconsin Club for Growth and had a legal right to seek donations. She wasn't hired as a consultant for Friends of Scott Walker until November 2011."
Here's link, but I believe it's behind a paywall.
We'll have to take the WSJ word for it I guess.
You started this conversation with a link to a newspaper article, dope.
You started this conversation with a link to a newspaper article, dope.
And you linked to the WSJ for their opinion. Did you want a cookie?
Dates of employment are not "opinions".
The WSJ printed something
The MJS printed something.
If you can prove the WSJ is right I will happily correct.
Poor reading comprehension, garage. The MJS and WSJ are not at odds. The MJS piece implied that Doner was a Walker worker when she wrote the email, but did not state it explicitly because they knew it was not true.
"I'm [Democrat candidate's name] and George Soros approves this message".
Doner is an awesome name for a fundraiser, I'll say that much.
Big sad for bitchtits coming up in November.
Same sad old Cracktard has every day when whitey doesn't fork over money to him because racism.
You're sad everyday, loser.
As clickbait, this is pretty bad. I don't like watching ads on TV, or online. So why should I watch a compendium of them?
Wisconsin Resident didn't like watching ads, but then he watched a compendium and happened next was so surprising!!!
Must be something in the water.
Fluoride!
Funny how one party can switch and move and alter and change until it becomes the other party. And vice versa.

Then only the press could talk. That sounds like a great plan.
