Right-wing group's mailer warns of "Obamavilles"

This has to be one of the most audacious mailers ever. The 60 Plus Association, a shadowy conservative group that's spending big money this cycle, has dropped a new mail piece in Virginia targeting Dem Rep. Gerry Connolly with a rather creative reading of economic history.

The mail piece -- which was sent over by a reader -- features black and white photos of Depression-era bread lines and Hoovervilles, and warns that Dem policies are on the verge of creating "Obamavilles":

UPDATE, 2:18 p.m.: As a commenter notes, it looks like this group's agenda is heavily focused on preventing the high end Bush tax cuts from expiring. The mailer warns of tax increases to come during the lame duck session -- tax increases that presumably will create Obamavilles.

4. +1 and a hearty HARRUMPH!

They trashed our country, left town, and immediately started blaming it on Obama.

Projection is the only thing they do well.

2. Let's be accurate; they'd be Bushvilles. Or....

even more accurately, Reagantons, or Greenspanburgs.

3. I like the term "Bohenerville" better myself. We all know what party Hoover belonged to and who the

people are who are still trying to claim he was right...

5. So the point of these ads is that shanty-towns will crop up everywhere

if there's a 2% increase in the individual income tax rate on the wealthiest 2% in the country. It's just simple economics. Without that additional 2% in cash, the wealthiest 2% won't be able to line their marble bathtubs with gold leaf, and if you don't have gold leaf lining your marble bathtub, you might as well live in a fuckin' cardboard box. The logic is inescapable.

6. They claim to be 'non-partisan'! Obamavilles??? Keep fear alive!

They're really going after Gerry Connally. Pat Boone is their national spokesperson. What a joke!
