Behind the Ad: Stand up to the Tea Party

By Richard K. Barry

(Another installment in our extensive "Behind the Ad" series.) 

Who: Organizing for Action

Where: Nationally on cable news programs.

What's going on: Organizing for America is President Obama's former campaign arm.

MSNBC:

Charging that "Tea Party Republicans are threatening an economic shutdown," the ad says that "refusing to pay our nation's bill" would "endanger American jobs" if the country defaults. "Tell them to stand up to the Tea Party," says the ad's narrator. "Enough already."

Presumably the "them" are more reasonable Republicans, whoever they might be.
