Okay, it's not exactly the most uplifting of strategies, but those images show that the fact that these are anti-candidate ads rather than pro-candidate ads is not being buried in fine print.  Anyone idiotic enough to be thinking they are sending money to support the named candidate is not bothering to read normal sized text before they click.

It says 'defeat' in pretty big letters, guys.

No it does not.

Nice deflection from the insult to Democrats by the NRCC for their disgusting fundraising dishonesty.

You must have an extremely low standard for "reasonably literate".  I fail to see how anyone who is literate enough to fill in the information needed to make a donation would miss that they were soliciting donations against the candidate.

In any case, I doubt the point of these sites is raise money directly.  Rather, I think they are bait intended to entice some legal action against them which regardless of whether it is successful or not they can present to the base as evidence that "Obama and the liberal Democrats don't want people to learn the truth about <insert name here>.  Please give generously to ensure that we can spread the truth about <insert name here> and defeat (him/her) this November."

pbrower, you seem to be confusing how politics should work with what actually works in politics.

Apparently they got the idea from the liberals. Fight fire with fire!

No; that kind of stuff has been going on for years (although I don't like that either) on both sides, but there's no misleading contribution page.

It might not be particularly new, no. Things that work are often copied.

I like how he noted a significant difference between the examples you were giving and this thread, and you replied like you were agreeing with him, except you completely ignored the significant difference he's observing.

Does this work for you in actual human conversations, or is it just something you think works in text?  It doesn't.

Of course, there is an explicit contribution link right at the bottom. Those observational powers seem be quite selective.

The goalposts will soon shift again. Carry on.

Don't you get tired of shifting them, Lucy?  I don't know why you're bothering since there are no Charlie Browns here.
