Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN), who called for pulling all of his negative advertising Oct. 10 (though the NRSC was running anti-Franken ads), has called now for all “attack ads and phones calls” to be pulled across the country, including robo-calls paid for by the Republican National Committee.
“It’s time for all of these attacks to end,” Coleman said, per a release, during his Obama-sounding “Hope Express Tour.” “I pulled down my negative ads because I felt we need to keep the focus on the issues facing our nation. I call on Al Franken, the DNC, the RNC, the DSCC, the NRSC and any other organization engaged in negative attacks on any candidate to bring them to an immediate end. Minnesotans are sick and tired of this, and they want positive solutions for the future and for how we’re going to turn this country around. Enough is enough.”
Two major points here:
- The robo-calls are being generated by his closest political confidant and landlord.
- Coleman is still currently coordinating negative ads with the NRSC.
Norm Coleman is a complete hypocrite. Will he get away with this?
Normy sleeps on a mattress stuffed full on untaxed money from BushCO oil companies in his landlords condo. 2 tylenol pms and a glass of scotch.
This harkens back to, six years ago, in the days following Wellstone’s plane crash, Coleman constantly and relentlentlessly went to every media outlet possible to announce the suspension of his campaign until the DFL could find a candidate. Every day he was on TV meanwhile, the DFL was casting about for some way to overcome the tragedy and mount some kind of a campaign. Norm’s words don’t often match his actions. We will be 99% better off without him.
