Sometimes a well done video really can capture it all, the whole essence of a political campaign. I'm not certain who made the one above; I'm pretty certain it wasn't Jim Wilson's actual campaign. But it was put together by someone who seemed pissed off at the disgraceful and ridiculous ad reactionary incumbent Dan Boren did, an ad that introduced Wilson to many people in OK-2 for the first time. That one portrays Boren, in brand spanking new "hunting duds" (props from which the price tags were barely removed) up in a tree, cocking a gun like the nutty-- and now failed-- Alabama Agriculture Commissioner candidate, Dale Peterson. What's galling for many in Oklahoma is that Boren is a spoiled son of privilege masquerading as a Democrat because his father was a respected Democratic governor and senator. State Senator Wilson, who he chastises as Oklahoma's "most liberal"-- a badge Wilson wears proudly-- was a combat marine in Vietnam. It's kind of disgusting for a putz like Boren to cock a gun like that towards a real defender of America. The video shows why it's especially disgusting in Boren's case.
At 11am today (PT/1 pm in Oklahoma), Blue America will be hosting a live chat with Sen. Wilson at Crooks and Liars. Come over and meet the most progressive legislator in the least progressive state and see why he's taking on the arguably worst Blue Dog in Congress. The last two mangy Blue Dogs Blue America is trying to dislodge in this cycle are John Barrow-- who faces off against Regina Thomas on July 20-- and then Boren, who will be facing Jim on July 27. If you can, please consider donating to Jim's campaign so that he can continue getting out his message to Oklahoma Democrats. And do take a look at the video up top.
