My advice to you, Senator Feingold, is this: DON'T MAKE THIS AD A TREND.
In your interview with WKOW, you disagreed with the anchor that such a use of news material would lose credibility. Well, you're wrong. It would have been better to apologize. Instead, you somehow spun it on the anchors, saying "the only thing you did wrong..."
This video was produced without the knowledge of WKOW. I discredit this ad and see it as an act of deceit and thievery. WKOW made a statement last night on their news cast that this ad was done without their permission and asked that it be pulled. I saw it again today so Feingold doesn't want to comply.
I bet Feingold doesn't even know what an industrial revenue bond is! The government didn't give Johnson $4MM - the money was provided by private investors!
If this is the best Feingold has, he had better start packing his bags for Nov 3!
Russ Feingold has spent 18 years fighting for a better country, a better state and a better Senate. The fact that Ron Johnson is using that as a political attack is absurd. He has been there that long because a majority of Wisconsin voters are smart enough to realize what a good thing they have.
Russ Feingold is a brilliant, principled, dedicated public official. Why Wisconsin citizens would even consider replacing him is an abomination. I only wish I lived in Wisconsin so I could have the honor of voting for him.
@votequimby80 If so brilliant, why does he need to lie in this add.
The rail spur was contracted with a predecessor company to Pacur. Pacur didn’t even exist at the time, and Johnson had no connection to the previous company.
Pacur obtained an Industrial Revenue Bond which did not provide any government money. All money came from a private bank which accepted Pacur equipment as collateral. IRB loans are in no way taxpayer funded or guarenteed.
Interesting how many politicians lie as if the internet, video and audio recording had not been invented. What's more disturbing is how easily people buy into the lie and refuse the believe the actual truth, even wen confronted with it. Nice ad, I hope it works.
This has been flagged as spam show
Ron johnson is just another idiot like the people that would vote for him.

Ron Johnson is just another Republican welfare queen like Jim Miller, Sharron Angle, Carl Palandino, et. al

If you want people to really believe you, you should be academic about it:
*Make your points (don't use primarily other works to do so) in a clear, explicit manner
*Show citations of proof (and perhaps small clips from various sources)
*Encourage citizens to not just take your word for it, but to look it up for themselves
Otherwise, you'll be viewed just like any other "career" politician. Don't use cheap tactics. Build trust.
Viewers are smart enough to think critically. Let them do so.

@Ozzy242 yeah - bury the truth! LMFAO
Isn't that called "Censorship"? The news is PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE!
And now the FACT that Ron Johnson is a lying hypocrite is PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE as well.

Russ Feingold is obviously willing to mislead and confuse Wisconsin voters right up until election day. That's what career politicians do.

So again why does Russ have to lie?
