Stand Your Ground Law in Arizona Part 2 - Video
Sterling, a Religious Right lawyer (who despite his professed religiosity has done some legal work for a racy underwear shop that sells skin flicks on-line), opposes Leslie Rutledge in the Republican primary. She's a pistol-packing conservative who's as far right on issues such as abortion, Obamacare and the rest as Sterling is. And she has some GOP establishment credentials through work for Mike Huckabee and the Republican National Committee.
She's raised about $200,000 so far. He's raised about $175,000.
But now he's benefitting from a big ad buy by the American Future Fund. It is one of those 501C4 organization.s It doesn't expressly advocate election of David Sterling. Thus it is free from the sort of disclosure of contributors and expenditures required of regular campaign advertising. But make no mistake, This ad buy (and I've heard of phone calls, too) are an endorsement of Sterling for his support of a Stand Your Ground law (and mentions his anti-abortion position, too.
The fund is a multistate group that backs "conservative" and "free market" candidacies with such advertising support. It's based in Des Moines and issued this release on the Sterling ad:
Source Watch provides some more background on the outfit:
The American Future Fund received $1.1 million from the Center to Protect Patient Rights in 2011 after getting $1.3 million in 2009 and $11.7 million in 2010.[3]
The Fund spent $25 million in 2012 elections and $26 million in 2010, generally targeting liberal candidates. Seed money came from an ethanol magnate in Iowa. And, sure, there are Kochs at the bottom of this barrel. Again from Source Watch:
CPPR is run by Sean Noble, who Politico described as a Koch Operative [1], Nobel was hired by the Kochs to coordinate with other conservative superPACs to target Democratic representatives in 2010.
But advocacy of Stand Your Ground is reason enough to OPPOSE Sterling. Arkansas, as friendly toward guns as it is, has so far resisted, in part because of opposition from state prosecutors of all partisan colors. Florida tells us graphically what happens under Stand Your Ground laws. They are used to gun down people who can't give their side of the story after being plugged dead for giving offense to a gun toter. The number of homicides ruled "justifiable" have jumped sharply in statessuch as Florida where the laws were enacted. The laws haven't been accompanied by decreases in other crimes. And the law also is often seen as producingracially disparate treatment that is, more forbearance for whites who shoot blacks because they say they felt threatened. The issue rose toprominence in the Trayvon Martin case.
Self-defense is already ground for shooting someone. Arkansas doesn't need a Stand Your Ground Law. It doesn't need a legal extremistlike David Sterling as attorney general (he's made it clear he has no respect for federal court precedent or law). It doesn't need a shadowy right-wing group from out of state buying elections.
