I received the following fundraising e-mail from James Carville, via the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Carville slams the Tea Party movement in hopes of raising cash for the Dems.
Subject line: The weather.
"I have a message from the Tea Party ... we've come to take our government back." - Rand Paul
Dear Mary,
Let Uncle James translate what Tea Party Republicans really mean when they say they want to "take our government back."
(Note: Emphasis Carville's.)
Kentucky's Rand Paul opposes the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Nevada's Sharron Angle is itching to dismantle Social Security. And California's Carly Fiorina dismisses climate change concerns as fretting about "the weather."
Look, we've all snickered at some of the kooky ideas these Tea Partiers espouse. But there's nothing funny about the challenge we face. And it certainly doesn't help that corporations now can spend an unlimited amount in support of candidates they like.
We have the power to keep these extremists out of Washington. We only have to seize this moment. It's time to fight back, and there's no better way than giving to the DSCC. I support the DSCC because they spend money where it's needed - to fight the Rand Pauls and Sharron Angles. Help me keep the extremists out of the Senate!
Click here to contribute $5 or more to the DSCC. The DSCC must raise $2,826,926 by our June 30 deadline to fight the fringe. Every dollar you give will be matched, doubling your impact!
These candidates seem extreme to us, but there's a lot of people buying what they're selling. Angle raised more than $100,000 in an hour shilling for support on the Rush Limbaugh show. Paul is taking a page from his dad's playbook and using "moneybombs" to consolidate support. And Carly Fiorina - well, she hardly needs to raise any money at all with that cushy $42 million golden parachute she got after nearly driving HP into the ground.
Your gift today will make a big difference against these candidates. The DSCC uses donations from grassroots Democrats like you and me to build tough campaigns, fight Republican lies and get every last Democrat to the polls come November. We can beat them, but not without your immediate help.

Rand Paul and his radical pals say they want their country back. Well, I'm here to say that it's our country, too. And they're not going to drag us backward without one heck of a battle. Join the fight.
Sincerely,
James Carville
"Uncle James"?
"UNCLE JAMES"???

I feel as if "Uncle James" wants me to sit on his lap so he can give me a piece of candy...
Carville probably agreed to do the e-mail to make up for the lashing he gave Obama about the oil spill.
