Yesterday the hardworking staff noted the $1.9 million (according to Roll Call) ad campaign the League of Conservation Voters has launched against Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown (R-Is The Truck Gassed Up?) over his environmental record.

To refresh your memory:

Not surprisingly Brown has has stepped into the tree-hugger crowd,  posting a detailed defense of his voting record (Fighting Back with Facts) on his campaign website.

His video deconstruction of the LCV attack ad:

And his verbal dismissal of the LCV attack:

The League Of Conservation Voters (LCV) is a partisan organization whose goal is electing Democratic candidates. During the 2010 election cycle, the group spent $5.5 million in independent expenditures – 98% of which went toward aiding Democratic candidates. In the final weeks of the 2010 special election in Massachusetts, they spent $350,000 attacking Scott Brown.

Beyond their partisan nature, the specific claims in this ad are extremely misleading. The votes cited in the ad were bipartisan in nature; in all instances, Senator Brown had the same position as multiple Democratic Senators who believed that the votes would have been job killers. Last month, even President Obama came out against new proposed regulations from the EPA, citing the nation’s weak economy.

No response yet on LCV’s website.

We report. You deride.
