There's an ultra-RW ad AGAINST Dr Oz running in PA

At least I think it attacks him from the right, but in these days of doublespeak you never know. In theory, it could be a brilliant move coming from some smartass leftist. We tend not to be that insidiously clever but who knows? I heard it twice last night and three times this morning driving to work, admittedly an hour and 15 minute drive but still…

They say in the ad that he is actually a “closet Hollywood liberal”, because he is associated with a firm that hired and rehired illegal aliens and was the subject of the largest ICE fine in the history of the department.

It ends with, and I’ll slightly paraphrase, Dr. Oz may be good for Hollywood but he’s not good for Pennsylvania. It is sponsored by a group called honorpennsylvania.com. I’m a little busy so I haven’t found a link yet.

It would be typical here in Pennsylvania that you could actually find a niche for someone to the right of TFG and Company. This state is exactly as James Carville and others have described it over the decades. Then again, who knows who’s behind this…?

1. His moronic run might be a double whammy, given how offensive he will have to be to gain R support..

That might just be his "Hollywood" demise as well.

4. We have been getting similar anti-J D Vance ads in Ohio

Running tape of Vance calling rump an idiot and him say he would consider voting for Hillary in the 2016 election.

I wouldn't doubt it is the same group putting these ads together.

5. If it's actually a far rightie running the ad, I hope they realize they could be running

an ad about Trump. He's more "Hollywood" than the huckster Oz and is known to have hired anyone but Americans for decades.

Well, Jersey, anyway---he's not been living in California, after all!
