BILBRAY IMAGINATIONS BACKED BY HARRY REID'S HYSTERIA - MUTH SENDS

THE BILBRAY FILES


March 1, 2014

The Boogie Man Sez the Boogie Man’s Coming!

In yet another sign of campaign desperation, Democrat congressional candidate Erin Bilbray-Kohn sent out a hysteria-filled email fundraising pitch on Friday warning of an impending attack coming her way from the fine folks over at Americans for Prosperity.

Or as Bilbray-Kohn’s patron, Sen. Harry Reid, would call them, UN-Americans for Prosperity!


“We’re under attack,” Erin e-screeched.  “The Koch brothers front-group, Americans for Prosperity, (forgetting to add the apostrophe after the “s” in “brothers” to indicate a possessive, as Jon Ralston would point out) are (actually, as Jon Ralston would also point out, that should be “is”) launching an ad-buy, spending over $300,000 to bombard Southern Nevada airwaves with attacks against Erin and everything we believe in…”

aHi, there. This is Erin warning you about an attack coming against Erin. 

Love, Erin.

What’s with the third-person messaging? 

Whatever.  Onward…

Erin also posted the following message on Twitter:

“The #KochBrothers' SuperPAC, is launching a nearly $350k ad-campaign against me on Mon. Help us fight back!”

So which is it: over $300,000 or nearly $350,000?

Actually, I checked.  It’s neither.  The ad buy is LESS than $300,000, including web ads.  But since when did Bilbray-Kohn’s campaign ever let the truth get in the way of a desperate fundraising pitch?

Oh, and it’s not through AFP’s SuperPAC; it’s through AFP’s 501(c)(4) – which means it’s issue-based, not a campaign ad.

Oh, and, um…it doesn’t attack Bilbray-Kohn.  In fact, it doesn’t even mention her at all!

All the ad does is thank Rep. Joe Heck for standing up against ObamaCare – you know, that government take-over of our health insurance industry in which, as Erin assured us, if you like your current health plan you can keep it (not).

But hey, don’t take my word for it.  Click here to see the actual ad itself.

Nevertheless, Erin continued her email and warned, “If we don’t fight back immediately, our campaign could be in deep trouble.”

Newsflash: Your campaign is already in deep trouble!

From lackluster fundraising to losing your campaign manager to getting caught making false accusations about your opponent’s record to calling this Army surgeon “un-American,” the Bilbray-Kohn Express is looking more like Thomas the Train.

Third-person Erin then wrote that “Erin needs to get the facts out against these terrible misleading ads.”

What facts?  What terrible misleading ad? 

It seems the new-and-improved (but not lemon-scented!) Bilbray-Kohn campaign – “Open under New Management!” - jumped the gun and once again cried “Wolf!” when there was no wolf to be found.

Erin’s “gimme money” pitch then concluded with this…

“If we are going to defeat Heck, we need to spread Erin’s problem-solving message to Nevada voters, grow our grassroots campaign, and lay the foundation for victory in 2014.  Please chip in $3 for Erin.”

Signed, “Erin.”

Did anyone proof this email before sending it out?  Did Erin know she was writing about Erin as if she wasn’t Erin?  I mean, did Erin check with Erin to see if it was OK for Erin to write about Erin?

Is it too late for Erin to call Erin and tell Erin to call Bradley Mayer and beg him to come back to Erin’s campaign?

This is Erin, out.
