"We have been accused by liberals and their allies in the media of running ads in Michigan with racial undertones," said Todd Zirkle, Executive Director of the Freedom's Defense Fund. "It appears to be liberals like Murtha are the only people focused on the color of anybody's skin in this race. Jack Murtha should be ashamed of himself."
Freedom's Defense Fund is known most for running a series of ads in Macomb County Michigan featuring Obama friends and allies Kwame Kilpatrick, Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright and Tony Rezko. This is their first foray television ad focused on a congressional race.
"We treat our contributors dollars like they are our own," said Zirkle. "Murtha's comments are outrageous, and we believe he needs to be held accountable."
