Well this was bound to happen, The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (aka DCCC) has been buying paid ads on the facebook ads platform trying to use the comments of Joe Barton.
It seems that Barton called the twenty billion escrow for Gulf Coast recovery “a shakedown”.
The DCCC is not admitting to the facebook ad buy at this point – but we heard that the ads are projected to get over twnety million impressions today. The DCCC also set up a website to try and raise additional funds. http://www.dccc.org/page/s/barton
“The DCCC will hold these out-of-touch House Republicans accountable who have no shame when it comes to jumping to the defense of BP and Big Oil,” said Ryan Rudominer, spokesman for the committee.
The DCCC also says it is also “sending out targeted press releases to House Republicans and Republican candidates on the topic.”
I guess this is good for facebook ads, as we all know political advertiers love smear ads….
Have you seen smear ads on facebook? Send us screenshots.
