Barney Frank 'under attack,' wants your money
2010-03-14
Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) believes he's "under attack" -- or at least that's what he wrote in an e-mail blasted over the DCCC listserv Friday in the hopes of raising $20,000 over the weekend.
The entire listserve to get a measly $29K? Rep. Frank doeasn't aim high, it seems.
Frank -- whose district in Massachusetts is typically solidly Democratic but went to Scott Brown in January's special Senate election -- wrote in a letter to donors that he "will be the target of a national right-wing fund drive" and that he "needs help."

The letter's intro:
In the fall, I wrote to ask you to support the DCCC so it can help elect candidates who will stand up to right-wing Republicans. Today, I am writing about one candidate in particular who I believe qualifies for that designation -- me.

In the coming months, I will be the target of a national right-wing fund drive. The right will use this money to lie, distort and misrepresent.
...which offends me, because that's my job.
