Rick Perlstein has a great piece on how we're not about to get beyond the 1960s. Apparently Dan Lipinski's campaign read the article, because here's a flyer they are circulating attacking us as dirty hippies. My favorite is the use of the word 'punks'.
That's some compelling messaging, especially the part about us crying as babies because our diapers were full. Is that even an insult? It seems like that's kind of a standard thing that happens with all babies.
Update (Chris): I also received the following email from a Lipinski supporter a couple days ago:
Neither is "Irish-Americans for Pera", he probably just put that on his website since many of his volunteers that are not from the District have anti-Irish attitudes. Pera's endorsements are far from diverse, mainly coming from anti-life groups and organizations and politicians not from the District.
Apparently, we Pera supporters are anti-life and and anti-Irish. My Irish-American mother would be surprised to learn that one.
Also, while I have never lived in any of the placed the flier mentions, I have lived in Chicago as recently as 2004.
UPDATE AGAIN: This is coming from Dan Lipinski. Here's a half hour radio show where Lipinski rants about 'left-wing extremists pouring money into his district'.
