New Proft ad features Madigan and Trump

Monday, Oct 29, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller

* New Chicago broadcast TV ad from Dan Proft’s Liberty Principles PAC

* Script…

What do Trump and Madigan’s character assassins have in common? Neither will lower your property taxes. Trump can’t. Madigan and his bought and paid for political assassins won’t.

In fact, Madigan and his assassins have a plan to increase your property taxes.

Either you take your house back, or Madigan and his suburban assassins take it from you.

This election is not about who’s in the White House, it’s about saving your house.

Whew.

    Pretty good indication that Proft’s polling says that people are so angry with Trump it’s overriding all other motivations. There are going to be some weird results on election night in the suburbs of Chicago.

    ===This election is not about who’s in the White House===

    If only saying made it true, Republicans wouldn’t be facing massive losses.


  3. - Amalia - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 2:13 pm:

    the use of the word assassin is terrible, especially this week.


  4. - Grandson of Man - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 2:14 pm:

    Horrible choice for words, calling a politician an assassin in this age of terrorism. Just GD irresponsible and sickening.


  5. - WOB - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 2:15 pm:

    Yup. A bona fide messaging genius. Just ask him.


  6. - lakeside - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 2:16 pm:

    That should be taken down. There’s rhetoric and then there’s incitement. We know there are people out there that are taking these kinds of comments as true and taking matters into their own hands. Even Proft should be better than this.


  7. - Meanwhile in Western IL - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 2:17 pm:

    Wow, that Bill Fawell guy went full tinfoil hat on the subject of pipebombs being sent to Democrats. This is pretty unbelievable:

    Once again a republican has made me happy I don’t watch broadcast tv (except PBS).


  9. - ItsMillerTime - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 2:19 pm:

    Proft conveniently leaving out the fact that Trump’s tax plan capped property tax deductions to 10,000. But it’s not like that would affect anyone in Chicago/Collar counties right guys?


  10. - Scott Cross for President - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 2:21 pm:

    “his assassins”
    “his assassins”
    C’mon.
    Take the ad down, Dan.
    The victims in Pittsburgh haven’t been buried.
    The victims in Kentucky haven’t been buried.
    Words matter.


  11. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 2:24 pm:

    After the Jeanne Ives ad in the primary, you think Proft cares about word choices?

    If you do, you’re not paying attention to what Uihlein is paying for…


  12. - Former Downstater - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 2:24 pm:

    Juvenile


  13. - DuPage Bard - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 2:25 pm:

    Assassin’s wow great choice of words. What are you thinking?
    Maybe you could call them killers or nationalist’s?


  14. - Fax Machine - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 2:28 pm:

    “Trump and Madigan’s character assassins” sounds like people who are besmirching the character of Trump and of Madigan. This ad is way too convoluted.


  15. - walker - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 2:38 pm:

    “”Either you take your house back, or Madigan and his suburban assassins take it from you.”"

    Anyone have a clue what they’re talking about? Or is it pure fantasy?


  16. - hisgirlfriday - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 2:40 pm:

    Political ASSASSINS?

    The stations should not be running these ads. Not at any time but especially not in the wake of the MAGAbomber and the political terrorism the Tree of Life Synagogue just experienced.

    Unless Proft has the goods on that wackjob that shot Steve Scalise being a Madigoon or an incriminating photo of MJM and John Wilkes Booth, he really shouldn’t be allowed to air this.


  17. - Truthteller - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 2:42 pm:

    Proof positive that the rich, Uihlein, have more money than they know what to do with.
    Profit wastes more money than the most corrupt, inefficient governmental body could ever get away with


  18. - Roadrager - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 2:44 pm:

    ==“”Either you take your house back, or Madigan and his suburban assassins take it from you.””

    Anyone have a clue what they’re talking about? Or is it pure fantasy?==

    The Central American migrant caravan is coming up to cross the border illegally so they can be bused into Illinois via a convoy of Soros-funded luxury coaches and forcibly claim squatter’s rights in homes all over the seven-county area in an attempt to funnel more property tax appeal claims to Madigan’s law office.

    Gonna print that one out and mail it to Dan Proft to see if I can get a show out of it.


  19. - ILPundit - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 2:46 pm:

    I’ve been in politics for a very long time. Using the word “assassins” 4 times in a 30 second spot, after the events of the past week, is the most offensive and disgusting thing I’ve ever seen. This was not a mistake, and every outlet running this should take it down immediately.

    Politics ain’t beanbag, but this is way, way, over the line


  20. - Ray del Camino - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 3:00 pm:

    This is just a dumb, rambling, paranoid jumble. What is the call to action here?


  21. - Dome Gnome - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 3:16 pm:

    Somebody needs to buy this PAC a thesaurus.


  22. - 19th Ward guy - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 3:19 pm:

    “Assassins” This ad is really disturbing. So bad. Proft has lost his mind.


  23. - VanillaMan - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 3:21 pm:

    It’s important for Proft to draw the distinction in the suburbs between Trump and local Republican candidates. Unlike Downstate, Suburbanites hate Trump. The big question is will Suburban Trump-hating Republicans vote Democrat like they did in 2016?


  24. - Lt Guv - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 3:27 pm:

    Offensive and doesn’t even make sense. Proft would do better simply shredding the money.


  25. - Moe Berg - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 3:27 pm:

    Shame on any television station that airs this ad. Describing elected representatives and candidates as “assassins” especially in a week that has seen actual assassinations (KY, PA) and attempted assassinations (mail bombs) is the political equivalent of yelling fire in a crowded theater.


  26. - 47th Ward - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 3:50 pm:

    ===It’s important for Proft to draw the distinction in the suburbs between Trump and local Republican candidates===

    To whom should the next crazy person address the pipe bombs, VanillaMan? He’s not drawing a distinction, he’s inciting people. There is only one way to deal with an assassin. You know it. Proft knows it.

    Enough already. Stop normalizing this imagery like it’s some sort of political strategy.


  27. - Demoralized - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 4:04 pm:

    Real classy right after the events in Pennsylvania.


  28. - Anton Cermak - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 4:11 pm:

    Curious to see how many of the Republicans who are running against the referenced Democrats in this commercial denounce it.


  29. - Nagidam - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 4:50 pm:

    So this is a semi-serious question. What dirt does Proft have on Uihlein? There has to be something that Proft has on him because what has the billionaire got for his money?


  30. - Nick Name - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 4:55 pm:

    Vote accordingly next Tuesday.


  31. - Anonymous - Monday, Oct 29, 18 @ 8:29 pm:

    Consider that the source garnered only 3% of the vote in his run for public office. Perfect credentials for candidates who want to lose.
