Koch Bros Campaign for "More Weed, Less War" Empty Koch Bros Campaign for "More Weed, Less War"

Post  Rusty Houser Wed Oct 22, 2014 7:17 am

A Republican group connected to the billionaire Koch brothers is making a last-ditch effort to push the GOP Senate candidate in North Carolina across the finish line by urging young voters to get behind the marijuana-supporting libertarian in the race.

The American Future Fund, which is running the online ad campaign, touts third-party contender Sean Haugh as the only one in the Senate contest who supports legalizing marijuana and opposes war.

(snip)

The content of the ads is likely to get as much attention as the campaign itself: In one, it features a young woman who says Hagan "doesn't share our values" because she supports war and opposes legalizing marijuana.

"Vote Sean Haugh," she says. "He supports our progressive values. Pro-legalization, pro-environment. More weed, less war."

Meh. From the article:

....although it's unclear how effective a digital ad campaign will be in a race that has already featured more than $100 million [ affraid ] in TV ad buys alone.
